    26th February, 2031.


    2:00 am.


    New York Medical College''s Hospital.


    Beep. Beep. Beep.


    A young brown-haireddy, resting on the hospital bed, had her fingers twitch and the monitor depicting her heart rate showed changes in it.


    A woman in her early 40s, sitting on a stool beside the bed and resting, jolted awake as she heard the monitor''s beeping noises.


    "Isabe!" The woman eximed as she saw the youngdy''s eyelids flutter.


    She turned to the room''s door and yelled, "CALL THE DOCTOR!"


    Footsteps of someone running could be heard and in just a minute, there were multiple hurried footsteps that could be heard again.


    The door of the room was mmed open and in appeared the hospital staff followed by a woman and a man in ck suits.


    "Please move aside." The doctor said and checked the youngdy called Isabe.


    Feeling that Isabe was waking up from hera, the doctor asked the nurse to prepare the needed shots and gave it to her.


    In just two minutes, Isabe finally opened her eyes and looked around.


    "Isabe…" the woman in her 40s called out softly.


    Isabe, turning her eyes to the source of the voice, saw a beautiful woman. Knowing exactly who she was, she called out in a cracked voice:


    "M-mo… ther…"


    The woman, Isabe''s mother, went by her side after being called out and held her hand gently.


    "Please rx and try not to move." The doctor suggested it to Isabe.


    He then turned to her mother and said, "the patient is out of hera and there are no health concerns as of now. But do let the patient rest for the next few days."


    "Okay, doctor." The woman said.


    The doctor and the hospital staff then took their leave.


    Once they were gone, the two people in suits appeared behind Isabe''s mothers, awaiting orders.


    Isabe had trouble conversing in the start but her mother asked her to take things slow.


    It was only after an hour''s struggle, could Isabe talk properly.


    "Isabe… What happened to you… how are you in this state?" The mother couldn''t hold back her concerns anymore and asked with tears trickling down her face.


    Isabe''s eyes were moist as well, but she mustered up courage and said, "mom… it''s a long story. First tell me… how have you been?"


    "Not doing good without you, my dear." Isabe''s mother said with a heavy throat.


    Isabe held her mother''s hand and said, trying not to cry, "I am here now…"


    Isabe''s mother nodded her head and tried to stop crying.


    A while of asking each other''s well beingter, Isabe asked,


    "How long have I been in aa, mom?"


    "Around fifteen days, I think."


    "Hmm? This short?" Isabe was surprised.


    "What?" The mother was confused.


    Isabe shook her head. "Nothing. I am just d that I am recovering quickly."


    "I''d be happier if you recovered even faster, sweetie." The mother said with a sad smile.


    Isabe smiled and didn''t answer, instead she said, "you wanted to know what happened to me, right?"


    Isabe''s mother nodded her head.


    Isabe sighed and said, "I was drugged in a party and then hit by a truck. I somehow managed to survive the car ident and was taken to the hospital, but the drug was really potent and I think my heart was beating irregrly and I had almost died."


    "My god…" The mother covered her mouth and eximed as more tears appeared out from her eyes.


    Isabe sighed andforted her mother.


    It took some time and when she was ready for talks, Isabe asked,


    "Who might''ve done this, mom?"


    The woman shook her head. "I honestly do not know, dear. Who in their right mind would want to attack us? There''s no benefit in this."


    Isabe nodded her head. "That''s true. But it could be someone jealous of us probably?"


    Thedy shook her head. "If that''s the case, it''s really difficult to point fingers at anybody since there''s too many of such guys."


    Isabe sighed again for the third time. "Let''s leave this aside. I''ll be more careful next time."


    The mother nodded her head. She then turned around and looking at the woman in ck suit, said, "tighten up the security. I want more Blesseds joining."


    "As youmand, ma''am." The woman said and left to do her work.


    "Anyway, all things aside, my chances of survival were little to none. I am really surprised I survived all of this." Iseba mentioned.


    "Hmm?"


    Isabe nodded. "Indeed. The chances were little to none. It''s a miracle I survived."


    Isabe''s mother shed an awkward smile. ''How do I tell her what had transpired that day…''


    Isabe could feel something was off from her mother''s smile. "Something''s up, mom?"


    Isabe''s mother sighed. "I don''t know how to tell you this…"


    "Tell what, mom?" Isabe''s expression turned serious as she felt something was off.


    Thedy tried to muster up courage and thought it wouldn''t be right to lie to her daughter.


    It took her a few minutes to prepare herself and when she was ready, she said, "that day when you were hospitalized…"


    Thedy began narrating the tale of how there was no staff and an intern took it upon himself to operate on her daughter.


    "WHAT!? AN INTERN!?" Isabe was shocked out of her wits


    Thedy nodded her head. "That''s right. Not only that…"


    She then talked about how a senior doctor had arrived into the room and tried to cause problems, only to get pped by the intern and made to shut up.


    "HE WHAT!?"


    "Calm down, honey." Thedy said. "Your blood pressure will shoot up."


    "Then what!?" Isabe asked, ignoring the advice of her mother.


    "Then…"


    Her mother mentioned about the intern operating on Isabe, getting her totally out of danger, and then eventually bing a star overnight.


    Not to mention, he had also be the youngest neurosurgeon in history.


    Isabe was totally speechless hearing that.


    The shock was really a lot and made her body shiver knowing such an inexperienced person had operated on her.


    It took her quite a few minutes to properly understand that it was due to this young intern that she survived.


    Not to mention, she was healthy and well right now.


    The chances of Isabe''s survival was really very low and she knew it herself. While she was conscious, she could see the surroundings and the heart rate machine was showing irregr signs, meaning her heart had given out.


    Then she also felt severe chest pain which confirmed this for her followed by pain all over the body and head.


    Had Isabe not been given anesthesia, she would''ve killed her own self due to the extreme pain.


    All of this and then right now, she was feeling nothing.


    It was all thanks to the young intern who treated her.


    Understanding this, Isabe calmed down considerably.


    She wasn''t an irrational person and could make out that it was all thanks to that young intern did she survive.


    "Who is this intern?" Isabe asked.


    The man awaiting orders, took out a tablet and gave it to thedy.


    Thedy then gave it to Isabe, who, after going through it, got surprise after surprise.


    "Alexander Gray… youngest neurosurgeon…"


    Thedy, noticing her daughter speak out such words with interest, smiled and said, "our family is forever indebted to him for saving your life."


    "Truly." Isabe answered.


    Thedy''s smile then turned yful and she said, "he''s young, dashing, and also really sessful. Should I talk to him about marriage?"


    Isabe rolled her eyes. "Mom…"


    Thedy chuckled.


    However, a minuteter into seeing the things Alex had done, she muttered, "…he''s not bad…"


    "What? Marriage confirmed?" Thedy teased.


    "Tch. Mom…" Isabe clicked her tongue. "I haven''t even met him yet."


    Thedy giggled. "So do you wanna meet him? Should I set up your date?"


    Isabe thought about it and asked, "he''s not a Blessed, right?"


    "No." Thedy shook her head.


    Isabe sighed. "Things are difficult then. But well, let''s see. Can you set up a meeting then, mom?"


    Thedy smiled happily. "Sure. That''s no problem!"


    Thedy then turned around and the man nodded his head without being told what to do.


    He took out his phone and typed in a few things and once done, said, "I''ve asked someone to contact Dr. Alexander Gray, whether he epts it or rejects it, it''s up to him."


    Isabe nodded her head. "Don''t force him."


    "Yes, youngdy." The man said.


    Meanwhile in Austin…


    Alex and Melissa had snuggled and were sleeping together.


    Melissa had her leg up on Alex and was holding him tight.


    In the dead of the night, the window or Alex''s room slowly opened up and there came an intruder.


    As Melissa felt this, her eyes opened up, but she didn''t do anything.


    The intruder slowly made way towards Alex and Melissa and lifting the nket up, got inside it and hugged Alex from behind while staying inside the nket.


    Despite trying to hide, the intruder''s cyan hair flowed out of the nket.


    Alex had no idea whatsoever that someone had sneaked in as he in deep sleep, while Melissa thought to herself:


    ''Heh. Morning will be fun.''
