During their breakfast the following morning, Mr. Wayne wondered why everyone was having the same food as he had. It was his request to have only a serving of oats in the morning, paired with a vegetable smoothie. But today, he noticed that there were additional vegetable dishes, instead of their usual breakfast menu which consisted mostly of fried meat and egg.
"What's happening? " Mr. Wayne could no longer keep his astonishment to himself.
Jim smiled. "Jia decided that we should also have the same diet as yours because as she said, it's better to start the preventive measures now than finding the cure later. And so that you will not feel tortured for having a separate untasty meal. "
This decision just happened to make this matter easier for him as he would not make any more cover ups to push the diet.
Mr. Wayne laughed. "Good, darling. It is so thoughtful of you. Now, I won't be alone anymore and this diet plan is now enjoyable. "
Then, Jim changed the topic.
"By the way, dear, I think I should help Dr. Aijohn in clearing up the fire site or in monitoring the new
farms. "
Jia frowned. "Do you mean you would go to Palawan? "
"Yes, in the research lab or wherever I could be of help. "
"And that would need you to be away? We are only the host and not the producer. Remember that. They should hire more scientists to do it or we could hire our own. " Jia disagreed.
"Sweetheart, I could go home once or twice a week. " He said as he brushed her hair, racking his brain on how to convince her.
"A biiig NO. Don't make me go sleepless. " Jia insisted. " Jia was firm and was not kidding at all.
"Dad, help me. " Jim turned to Mr. Wayne, laughing.
Mr. Wayne turned sour. "Son, that is something I miss in my married life because I never listened to your mom. If only I listened and set my eyes on her, I would have the best days of my life. "
Jim pinched her nose and gave up on insisting. "Okay, okay. "
Later in the office, Dr. Aijohn went out to talk to them.
"Uncle, Jim , if somebody would call you up about a purchase of Hailey's Pill, please call me right away. "
Jim and Mr. Wayne raised their brows, wondering what he meant.
"I'm calling out the public to ask anyone of them who purchased the first set of Hailey's Pill, that I would buy it back from them at a price twenty times higher than how much they bought it from us. "
"Why would you do that, Dr. Aijohn?"
Mr. Wayne felt disgusted, that was something so riduculous.
"Somebody came to me, uncle, he's already in the advanced stage of leukemia, and I want to help him. "
"Why did he not enroll himself earlier? " Mr. Wayne seemed upset at the irresponsibility and the passiveness of that person.
"He thought he was already in complete remission after his treatment. He just noticed lately that the malignancy has relapsed. It has been asymptomatic, thus, he is left
unaware. "
Mr. Wayne was then horrified.
"Really. I hope we could be heard. " Mr. Wayne finally understood.
"Give it one day, John, and I will raise it higher the next day. " Jim offered.
To recall, when Hailey's Pill was first launched, they went into great mismanagement issues in product distribution, causing them to announce temporary closure due to product shortage. What happened then was their failure in controlling the product release and the overpowering of those who could afford to buy. There were also countless health and wellness centers who purchased it for business purposes. When they officially announced their product shortage, these centers released the product to the market at a compounded price.
"John, if our farm would be unharmed after this supertyphoon, how grave does that fire outbreak will affect the production? " Mr.Wayne asked curiously.
" We would still be declaring a six - month closure. "Dr. Aijohn answered sadly.
When Dr. Aijohn returned to his office later, Mr. C was already waiting for him.
"How about it now, Mr. C? "He asked seriously.
"I just can't make any excuse. "
"Then, tell the truth. "
"I want them to grieve only in my wake and not in my sickbed. "
Dr. Aijohn slumped into the couch. This was such a great weight he had to bear. Much heavier than the problems he faced with the fire outbreak and typhoon threats.
"Just please give me the remaining products. I will live until our supply lasts. "
"Mr. C, our product is just a human discovery. More than anything else, God is still the Mighty Healer and the Greatest Physician. We will pray that He will make these remaining bottles as channel for your complete healing. "
"But then Mr. C, a certain author quoted that success is the union of both human effort and Divine power, so you need to comply the basic requirements we ourselves set towards our patients. And one of it is rest... "
"I know. " He said, pondering about it.

Anthon picked up his things and walked slowly to his car. It was already five in the afternoon and he was going home. As he pulled out on a private parking lot, a red car obstructed the driveway. He waited for ten minutes, 15 minutes... but still there was no movement.
He got out and walked towards the red car. The woman on the driver seat, instantly opened the window.
"Sir Rodriguez, I'm sorry. I don't know about troubleshooting and the engine just won't start. " The woman was already on the verge of tears.
"Miss Pizarra? " Anthon recognized her as one of the engineers employed in their construction project.
"Just please call me Anna. " She smiled at him, though a teardrop had escaped from her eyes.
Anthon was startled. Anna... of all the names....
He sighed. He instantly missed her.
"Sir Rodriguez? " Anthon was brought back to his senses.
"Call me Anthon, as well. Now, can you please come down so I could check it? "
"Sure. " Anna got down and moved to the rear seat.
While Anthon was checking on something, Anna began talking.
"Sir Anthon, what will you do during our two - week break? Are you going home or sign the two - year contract extension? "
Anthon glanced at her. "I will still think about it. How about you? "
"I'll take the two - week break at home then come back here. " Anna replied.
"From where are you? " Anthon never went into any conversation with a woman, especially a colleague.
"Cebu. "
Anthon gave her a quick glance then pushed a button and the engine was restarted.
Anna's eyes lit up when she realized how fast did he solve the trouble.
Anthon got out from the driver seat and waited for Anna to slid out.
She was not stunning but captivating, a type of beauty that intensified as you look closer and longer. Those soft - spoken eyes were beautiful and alluring. Just like Jia's...
