There's no hope. Felix threw his cell phone into the console then stepped on the pedal down the hill. He was completely pessimistic when the investigator told him that they only managed to find a coat instead of Ezra's body. Perhaps the shark had eaten all of his flesh down to the bones and was left with only the unpleasant tasting coat. Whatever it was, Felix felt so sad that his heart constricted. Never had he felt such a terrible loss. When his mother died years ago from an illness, he was of course sad. As an only boy he wept over his mother's death for five seconds after his doctor told him that she had succumbed to her illness, but the doctor assured him that it was exactly what his mother wanted. Quiet and peaceful. Felix felt no need to cry over his mother for too long because his mother had been free from the pain that had been eating her body for years. But now he felt a gallon of tears wouldn't be enough to cry over Ezra. That jerk is more than just a boss and a friend to
Mila's body bounced up quickly when she saw a car approaching and entering Ezra's deserted yard. The car's headlights shone on her so hard that she had to block the glare with her arm. Mila then walked down the porch of the house and ran into Felix's arms when he had just stepped out of his car. “Felix!” Mila was crying in Felix's arms. Felix's eyes were still red from crying all the way to this house. He is also as sad as Mila. This was too difficult for him, who had lived with Ezra for a long time. "What about Ezra? Did the rescue team find him?” “The weather is really bad out there. They're stopping their search for Ezra until tomorrow morning." Mila's body almost sank to the ground if Felix didn't swiftly hold Mila's body and half dragged her to walk to the terrace of the house. "Mila, we have to be prepared for whatever the worst might happen." "No Felix, Ezra can't die. He promised me he would be the father of this baby.” Mila cries hysterically in Felix's arms. Meanwhil
Mila really can't wait to meet her boyfriend on campus. For two weeks they did not see each other because Mila went on vacation to Paris with Hunter. And after two weeks of various dramas, Mila is very happy to welcome her new day. Even though entering campus is tantamount to learning new and difficult material, doing lab work all day, and meeting young, fierce doctors, that doesn't dampen Mila's excitement to meet her boyfriend. “Jonas!” Jonas was looking at a preparation in the lab when Mila called him. Jonas waved slowly and made a gesture for Mila to lower her voice because there were several junior students doing practicum. "Hows your holiday?" “Incredibly.... bad.” Mila said sullenly. She came into Jonas' small study because he was a lab assistant. "Why bad, hmm?" Jonas spoke as he took off the rubber gloves covering his hands, then he washed his hands in the sink. Occasionally Jonas smiled at Mila's sullen expression. “Hunter was incredibly talkative. He was worse than a
“Felix, what is this place?” Mila looked up at the large iron gate with DoD carvings in capital letters forged on the surface of the gate. It explicitly made it clear to Mila whose place it was. "You know exactly what this place is, Mila." "Yes I know. But what did we come here for.” Felix did not answer his words. Instead he took out a black card from his jacket pocket and opened the window. A scanner appeared from the ground when it detected Felix's approaching car. The black thing has a red indicator light. And when Felix brought the black card closer, it spoke to him. “Identify your name.” “Felix Burlow.” A red laser beam scanned Felix's eyes. A series of creaking sounds appeared amidst the silence. A hologram appears, showing Felix's identity and Felix's photo while scanning. Mila gaped at all the sophistication. She had never been in this situation before. She probably heard rumors a few times about how stringent the security checks were at the defense department to ensur
"You must be kidding. Is this some kind of secret society?” Felix shrugged slightly. “Sorta. coming?” Mila didn't realize that she hadn't even stepped out of that horrible elevator. She was still holding on to the rusty bar that she didn't want to touch before. "Tell me that you won't surprise me again." "Unfortunately I still have some surprises." “Felix?” "Oh hi Mantis." A man in his early fifties walked up to Felix. The man was wearing a gray suit and looked dashing in his middle age. Felix and the man named Mantis hugged each other and wished each other a Merry Christmas. "Merry Christmas buddy. I'm sorry for your loss." "Ezra, huh? There has been no official statement from the police yet.” Mantis didn't say anything. He was polite enough not to break Felix's optimism that Ezra was alive out there. "What are you doing here?" “I'm taking this lady on a short tour. The commissioner has given me permission. This is part of Ezra's request." Ah yes, I understand. "This is
Hunter was ushered out of his cage into the courtroom. After a week in jail, now Hunter looks so messy and ugly. His face was pale and shabby. The dark circles under his eyes were very dark. Hunter let his sideburns grow wildly on his face so that he looked like an old hermit who had just been taken out of a cave. Hunter's hands were handcuffed behind his back. Hunter took a deep breath in the scent of the courtroom and felt a tinge of relief that he could finally smell something other than the rotting smell of rotting prison food. Two policemen gently pushed Hunter's shoulders and pressed him to sit on the prison chair. Not many were present at his trial. Hunter didn't even expect anyone to come. But suddenly his eyeballs met Mila's eyeballs who were looking at him gloomily. Mila's face was somber and it looked like she had been wallowing in sadness for so long that there were no traces of joy on her face. Hunter's breath caught when he learned that Mila was present at the trial thi
"Thanks for inviting me to dinner, Jo." "You're welcome. Please sit down Mila.” Mila smiled faintly and pulled the chair in front of her. Jonas looked like he was about to pull out a chair for her, but Mila refused and said that pregnant women are not disabled. "How's the little one?" "Very good. Well it's been seven months, two more months before his birth. Really really fast.” Mila sighed softly. "I'm grateful. I'm glad to see you're fine. The last few months have been tough for you." "Very tough." Mia smiled weakly. It was a miracle that she survived two more months without Ezra by her side. She had shed tons of tears since the past two months. When finally the rescue team failed to find Ezra and the police officially stated that Ezra was lost due to drowning in the sea. Her legs literally went limp when she received the news. She almost fell to the ground if Felix didn't put his arm around her shoulders and support her limp body. Her heart… she didn't know if her heart had
"Thanks Felix. I don't know where else to go but here. My apartment is not a good choice when I have problems with Jonas.” Mila took a sip of her hot chocolate, letting the delicious chocolate liquid flow down her throat and calm her down. She was on the verge of deep frustration. “I told you that his intentions weren't pure.” Felix took a place in front of Mila while looking at her concerned. "I know it. But I don't think he will force me to accept his proposal. He's crazy. He even screamed in the restaurant and made us both a spectacle.” "Relax Milla. You can't be stressed. Remember what Doctor Rosaline said at the last check-up." Mila sighed and nodded. "I remember. My blood pressure is very low and I have to have a transfusion if it stays low.” “Good girl. Better forget about Jonas. You have to distance yourself from him." "I have done. But he often comes to my apartment, helping me organize my future baby's room. How could I possibly ignore his kindness.” "Now he won't c
