Chapter 308 - Big Brother
"We will come back later grandfather." Scott excused themselves and held Jean tight in his arms. When it comes to the persons she love, her heart will be the most fragile and sensitive being on earth.
Her grandparents patted her head lovingly. "Nothing will happen to Lillian. Don't worry honey…" they told.
But it is just a words of consolation. Jean is the doctor so she knew very well how the outcome will be.
"Baby, after you come back from country D, we will visit mother and father's grave okay" Scott kissed her forehead and they exited the house even without bothering to bid a good bye to certain some persons who are burning with jealousy.
After some hours…
In the VVIP ward of main branch of Valdez's hospitals…Lillian is still unconscious and she is kept on ventilator. Including with IV drip many wires were attached to her body…she looked like she is dying.
Black's and Seline are sitting outside the room on the bench waiting for doctor to diagnose her reports. Its been three hours still the doctors couldn't come to conclusion what triggered her sudden change.
Except for that, she looked healthy….but they are yet to find out that her organs are slowly getting retarded in its functions. The serum injected in her is almost like a invisible poison.
Meanwhile…
Enrick is sitting in his own cabin and is looking intently at the reports. His suspicion came true, someone injected the serum that is still under testing and research…
But he couldn't keep his finger on what type of serum it is nor how that person got that thing into his hands….all he could draw out from this reports is, retrieving Madam Black to her normal condition would be next to impossible.
As he wrecked his mind, he suddenly remembered something…he had listened about this poison some where…but he couldn't remember it.
After a while he got a message from Jean that they almost arrived. He hurriedly hid the reports and drawn out conclusions into one of the locker and locked it securely.
In no way he would allow her to know about these till he himself find out what that serum is...he is suspicious that someone he knew very well is the cause of this situation.
As soon as he sat down on his chair again, Jean knocked the door and entered. She is not alone, accompanying her is her husband whom she already married secretly in country X. The people close to her might not know somethings about her…but he knows each and everything about her and her past.
Scott looked at him indifferently and sat down beside Jean. He possessively wrapped his arm around her shoulders while his other hand entwined with her fingers. Enrick is already anticipating this from overbearing Scott Summers.
Though he knew that Jean would belong to him, he didn't stop loving her… he might not be her boyfriend or husband but he is the person working behind the screens to ensure her safely and comfort.
As they talked about Madam Black's health, Scott felt like he is in alien land. He couldn't understand even a single bit of what they are talking. While Jean continued talking Scott continued to trace his fingers on her spine, occasionally twirling her hair in between his fingers.
This distracted Rick but Jean was oblivious of what is happening around her, because she never thought Rick has feelings for her.
After making sure everything is right Jean and Scott are about to leave the cabin when she suddenly turned around and asked him.
"What about her reports? Rick. You said you will bring them" Jean asked curiously.
Enrick paused for a second before he lied simply to her. "Jean, as she is VVIP patient we are keeping her reports secured and confidential so it would take some time to get them out of the system"
Jean nodded her head and went upstairs along with Scott, to see her grandmother whom she treated as equal as her own grandparent.
Almost at night…
Jean and Scott went back to their villa near the University. She is already fast asleep that he carried her to their room and changed her into a T shirt before tucking her to sleep.
Later he went to study room and started looking into Summer shipments and it's contracts. Preciously, he is not at all interested in family inheritance and the family Business but when Sean crossed his bottom line he decided to show how terrible it would be if someone looks at his woman.
Meanwhile…
Just like Scott the other person is sitting in his penthouse and looking at the reports of Madam Black….he is in deep thought when the door opened suddenly revealing his sister.
She is in her PJ'S and looked like a small child, cute and adorable. "Rick, why are you not asleep yet. You have a surgery to attend tomorrow and moreover you have to meet our big brother too" she said as she rubbed her eyes.
"Iris, I still have some work. Why don't you go and sleep….don't say me you forgot about your confidential mission" Enrick chuckled but his eyes are bloodshot with lack of sleep.
He has been analyzing Madam Blacks health condition and her blood samples since the day she woke up. But he couldn't come out with an idea how to create a antidote to that.
"How about I make you coffee, your favorite one" Iris wrapped her arm around her brothers shoulder and asked cutely.
Enrick smiled brightly. "Okay." He ruffled her hair and planted a kiss on her forehead. He love her too much and to him she is more than important than his life.
Iris giggled and is about to get up when she saw the reports in her brothers hand.
She narrowed her eyes and asked him suspiciously. "Why did you lie to Jean about these" she asked.
"It is better for Jean to not know about this… she will be worried and moreover I don't want to risk exposing our identities" he said.
"Why will our identities get exposed. Jean is already a member of council and organization…" she frowned.
"No you fool, I am not talking about that...this serum is once prepared in our families laboratory…I remembered now…" he muttered.
"So you are saying that this person whoever tried to forcefully wake up Madam Black is from our family" a sudden realization hit her.
As a member of council Jean would easily recognize which family could create such a deadly formulas. If Rick succeeds in finding a cure, Jean might start suspecting his families origin.
"Rick, who could it be. No one will dare to do this until unless it is" she stopped in middle…
"Our big brother" he completed her sentence.
Her elder brother used the serum on Madam Black…how could it be possible…
