"What is the reason behind your sudden decision to go to Peru? Is this because of John? Thiago promised that he would help us right? Do you think it is necessary to go there personally?" Kairo asked after they disconnected the call.Olivia's face flashed in front of Alesso's eyes. "It is necessary. I don't want to take any chances. What if Thiago is lying? Which I hope is not the case. But still, we cannot leave such an important task to someone else who doesn't know how important medicine is to us. They might not take this seriously. What if they fail? I don't want to take that chance. Especially when so much is riding on Russell's life" he reasoned.Kairo understood what Alesso was thinking. He too couldn't deny Alesso's fears. Every scenario will have a what if. And this case does too. "I can go to Peru to protect my grandfather. You don't have to trouble yourself for that. Moreover, Olivia will be happy to have you with her" Kairo suggested.Alessandro shook his head."I know Li

Russell is surrounded. In the otherwise quiet forest, their combat boots, black outfits, and the guns they are holding are looking out of place. Immediately he understood that these people were not here to have a friendly chat with him. The old man recognized one of the men who was standing in the forefront as if he was leading the group. He is the person who assisted him in traveling from Peru to the rainforest. His attitude and behavior were different from a day ago. But now, the look in his eyes is sinister and cunning. Russell is not ready to trust this man now, or ever. The same man stepped forward with a fake smile. But nothing could replace the look in his eyes."Mr. Bianchi, my boss instructed us to protect you. Certain people are trying to harm you. But my boss is trying to help you from them all. If you could follow us, we will take you to safety. This area is not safe for you" Ian lied.Russell gave him a sarcastic smile."I see. But I have some unfinished work here. We can

"Baby sis, taste this and tell me how it is" Kairo placed a steaming plate of what looks like pasta in front of Olivia. She took one look at the mess on the plate with horror. The penne pasta is overcooked and out of shape. The sauce is looking watery. And overall, the pasta looks as if it is cooked by an amateur who is just learning how to cook.When she lifted her head to tell him that she was having a bad feeling about the pasta, she couldn't. He is looking at her expectantly. His apron is splattered with pasta sauce. He worked hard to cook this, and it is showing. She didn't have the heart to disappoint him. So she picked up the fork and tentatively ate a forkful of pasta into her mouth. Despite the look on the plate, the paste is not inedible. The sauce is good if we ignore the overcooked pasta. "How is it?" he asked with a hopeful smile.She beamed at him and lifted her thumb finger to show that it was good."It is nice brother" she half lied.He grinned at her compliment. He d

Alessandro landed near the tribe in the rainforest where Russell used to live. Soon Thiago and a few of their men descended using the ropes that were dangling from the chopper that they used to travel from Peru."Mr. Volcov, this is the tribe where Mr. Russell used to live. If you follow me, I will show you his hut" the man whom Thiago brought to show them the location shared with respect.Alessandro gave a curt nod in return and followed after the man. Not soon after, they entered a modest hut, as the curious but skeptical gazes of the tribal people followed after them. "Thus place is empty. He is not here" Alessandro murmured while carefully taking a look around the hut. There is nothing in here that suggests that Russell came to this hut after he came from Chicago. A thin layer of dust is settled on every visible surface of the hut.Thiago nodded, agreeing with Alessandro. "You know the local language. Go and ask around in the tribe" he instructed their guide. That man immediate

Shaino is scared to face a bunch of angry snakes."He is right sir. All of my men are killed out there. They were all bitten by snakes. I don't know how that happened. But everything happened faster than we could understand. One moment everything was peaceful. But the next moment, all the snakes started attacking my men as if they were possessed. My men didn't stand a chance. We had to abandon my men to save Mr. Russell. But in the end, he was bitten too. It's not safe to go out there" Liam spoke up, supporting Shaino's guess.Alessandro is tense and anxious. He doesn't know how to save the old man. His eyes turned red, and he felt helpless. He doesn't want to look at Olivia when she learns about her grandfather's condition."Alesso leaves" Russell whispered weakly.Alessandro is startled and looks at Russell, whose eyes are barely open."Sir, Mr. Russell wanted me to take these leaves and hand them over to his apprentice. He said that these leaves would save his granddaughter. He wan
