IHYD is back! To those who are still here waiting, i love you guys!

  "What do you mean?" Xiaolei looked at Yu Chen with shock and confusion.

  Yu Chen stared at her before he led her back to their room. And then he finally told her everything. He confessed to her on the matter where Juu and Kyuu were not normal human beings. He explained on how that they were a product of an experimental project and that their lifespans were very short as they were not the superior products.

  Xiaolei had a hard time believing it. To her, what Yu Chen is telling her seems as though he was reciting her a fantastical script from a fictional novel. If she had not known what kind of a man Yu Chen was, she would have already disbelieved this whole tale long ago and chalked it up to a hoax. But since it was him telling her directly and right in her face, how could she deny it? She could only helplessly accept them as facts. However, it finally made sense to her after hearing his explanations. Juu had always been such a strange young man that she had almost thought that he was a robot or perhaps an android. Now she understood why his behaviour was that way!

  "And you're saying that he's now reaching the end of his life span?" Xiaolei asked weakly, feeling her heart squeeze at the thought of such a young life being extinguished so fast and so cruelly. And when Yu Chen nodded, she could not help but have a bitter feeling well up within her and her heart was in utter pain. Juu had been her precious bodyguard as well, a perfect one at that and he was already considered as a younger brother to her now. So, hearing this really made her heart bleed and she refused to give up on him. "Is there really no cure at all?" Hope still shone in her eyes. She swore silently that if there was anything that could be done, she would go to all lengths required to save him.

  "I've sent Kyuu to Dr. Davi for the treatment of their problem because he is worse off compared to Juu. The experiment is still on-going and there are still no guarantees that they can or will be saved." Yu Chen explained clearly, making sure he stressed on the possibility that nothing could be done. He could see the gleam in Xiaolei's eyes and could guess that she was putting her hopes on a miracle happening.

  The mention of the great scientist and doctor Davi Chen somehow made Xiaolei feel even more hopeful.

  "Since the experiment is still on going, I think it's too early for us to just give up. Davi is such an amazing doctor. I believe she can do something revolutionary with this. She will definitely be able to save them!" Xiaolei was animated and her eyes were filled with hope. "Let's take Juu to her as well, hubby please? We can't just stay back and watch him suffering in pain. Though he does not complain, it does not mean he is okay going through all that agony. Even if he was ok with it, I am not!"

  Thankfully, Xiaolei easily convinced Yu Chen to agree.

  And at that same night, both of them brought Juu to the sanatorium where Kyuu was being treated at with the experimental drugs and numerous therapies that Davi and her team were working on.

  By the time they got there, Juu was immediately brought to the room that was already prepared ahead of time for him. Yu Chen had called on ahead to inform Davi and had the staff working there to arrange the accommodation for Juu.

  "How's Kyuu?" Yu Chen asked Zaki as Davi had immediately rushed over to treat Juu the moment he was ready. Zaki had already been sent there to start out his treatment as well.

  "He's doing fine, don't worry." Zaki reassured the younger man. One glance at him, and Yu Chen could tell that Zaki looked somewhat better compared to the last time he had seen him. "I think we're getting there. Slowly but surely."

  A smile flashed across Zaki's handsome face and the fact that this man gave such a genuine smile without any hint of mischievousness as how he usually does, made Yu Chen feel quite relieved. It could only mean one thing, hope. There is still hope!

  "Hi, sister-in-law." Zaki smiled at Xiaolei and Xiaolei greeted him back.

  The three chatted amiably among themselves, catching up on the nitty gritty daily happenings which others usually take for granted, while waiting for Davi to be done with Juu. Of course, it was actually Xiaolei and Zaki exchanging words as Yu Chen just sat next to Xiaolei being all quiet as usual. He only threw in a word or two when they asked or purposely pulled him into the conversation.

  When Davi finally meet them, she explained to them on the progress of how Kyuu and Zaki were doing, and just as Zaki had told them earlier as well, things were finally picking up and getting better. There was finally hope for them now. Things were finally looking up!

  However, Davi did mention that there was something she had wanted to propose to both Zaki and Yu Chen. She had wanted to move their entire facility somewhere else. To be specific, she had mentioned that they moved to a safer place which was undisclosed if possible.

  It puzzled Xiaolei on why Davi thought that the sanatorium which was already under the protection of the military was still deemed by her to not be the safest place, but she did not probe and ask further. She just knew that Davi would have her own reasons for making that statement. Xiaolei already knew that Davi had also worked in and for the military previously.

  Yu Chen and Zaki seemed to understand what Davi wanted expressly as well as the reason behind it without her even explaining in detail. So just like that, they had all unanimously agreed on that very same night that they will be moving everything to Scarlett Hill.

  Of course, that was after Zaki had made an urgent call to his brother Sei for approval first…… Nothing would go ahead without his authorisation.
