Burdened by the weight of pressure and fear, Dr. Aijohn decided to fly back to the research lab that day. He needed to find a solution. The one at stake wasn't just a random patient whom his heart went out with so much worry. This concerned his bestfriend, the one who always stood by him before, the one who had been the channel of the great changes in his life. His failure as a founder of that wonderful pill and cancer - mapping apparatus would be synonymous to his failure as a friend. Not in the eyes of the people, but hers.

After a couple of hours, he found himself before Hailey's computer, something he never dared to do when she passed away. The memories of her dedication to the project, her bloody and risky efforts , her discoveries, her life, were stored up in that box.

His hands were trembling as his fingers danced into the keyboard, opening files after files, hoping that somewhere, Hailey had left her some clues to solve his problems.

Before him were details of research samples, their active contents and its mechanisms of actions to the body. But still, the most potent among them all, was the enzyme found in the plant which composed Hailey's Pill. No matter how he looked at it again, the enzyme would still develop its potency at a certain time.

Feeling hopeless, he began to close the files, but as he was about to turn it off, his eyes were caught by the title of a folder, "Power of the Mind".

It was Hailey's unsubmitted article , as her note supposedly to the readers.

"The only factor that would render this miracle pill the Mighty Creator has endowed to nature for the benefit of humanity unsuccesful, aside from technical negligence and patient's failure in cooperation towards a healthy lifestyle, is the patient's own refusal to believe that he could live. Power of the mind is the strongest power a man possess. Its dominating thoughts would influence his behavior in any plans and undertakings. Thus, a success in whatever aspects of a person's life, accounts primarily in his own belief, persistence and determination. "

" Above all, we are only human, who strive to serve the whole mankind as God's channel to alleviate its pain and sufferings. God, the Creator of this wonderful gift of nature, is still the One who holds our lives. "

Tears fell on Aijohn's eyes. The closer they were to nature, the more they realized that there was One very powerful who held it in his Hands, and they were only servants endowed with His gifts, to search into His wisdom. He was finally enlightened, that whatever may happen to Jim, it would not only be because of his failure nor the countless limitations of their discoveries.

The breakthrough that gave them a worldwide fame was nothing against the unfathomable wisdom of God. He still holds the key, He still Holds our lives.


Hailey, who was she in the lives of his wife and in - laws?

Few hours later, he found himself sitting down before his parents - in - law.

"Son, is there anything that bothers you? " Madamme Ybañez asked her worriedly.

"I just came from the lab... I was hoping that Hailey left me some ideas that I could help Jim with. "

Madamme's heart skipped a beat. The time had already come where she couldn't ran away anymore.

"Then how is it? " Mr. Ybañez butted in.

"There's none but I am getting more troubled about who is Hailey in the life of Grace. " He could have rather said, 'in your lives'.

Mr. and Mrs. Ybañez looked at each other. Then, Mr. Ybañez answered him without taking his eyes away from his wife.

"We already talked about this and we decided to disclose everything about her to you and Grace. "

"Son, please bring Gracie here so we can talk. "

Ajihon sighed as a sense of relief engulfed him. Finally, the questions which had been lurking behind his mind, would now be answered.

One afternoon in the beach house, after Jim was finally discharged from the hospital, the whole family agreed to gather around again. They were on the porch which was facing the shore. Anthon arrived with Anna, and in his arm, were two boxes of toys.

Jian, who was playing a ball game with his little sister, hurriedly ran towards him. Little Jianna followed on. Since Anthon arrived from Dubai, it was the first time he came to see him. Aside from getting busy with his pre - transplant evaluation, he avoided all the chances of getting alone with Jia. Not because of Anna, but because of his respect for Jim.

"Daddy! " Jian happily hugged him. He could no longer hop on to him just as he used to do since he already stood taller than a regular nine - year- old boy.

Anthon tearfully hugged him. He got so emotionally overwhelmed to see him standing so tall before him. He was just an innocent six - year - old when he left.

"Daddy! " A shrill voice of a little girl broke into Anthon's ear that he was reverted to his senses. His eyes sparked in admiration to see how this lovely one became a little replica of Jia.

He bent down to pick her up but as soon as he held him, she wriggled and ran crying towards Jim. Everyone laughed while Jim coaxed her up.

"Baby girl, he is daddy Anthon, remember? " He reminded her of those photos he showed in his phone.

But Jianna snugggled even more. She only came near Anthon as she saw him and her big brother Jian fixing a remote - controlled toy helicopter. As soon as it zoomed into the sky, Anthon felt a warm hug at his leg. He looked down and got so amused to see Jianna. Anthon picked her up again and this time, she did not squirm. She, instead, placed her two tiny hands into Anthon's face while gazing at him with shining eyes.

"Daddy, I like that. Give it to me, please. " She sweetly said while pointing her little finger towards the flying helicopter.

"Baby, that's for boys. I bought you a talking doll, instead, which is as big as you are !" Anthon said excitedly as he brought her towards the table where he placed the box.

Jianna wriggled again vigorously.

" I don't like that! I want like kuya's . "

She began bawling her eyes out as she repeatedly requested for the same toy.

"My goodness! You're such a crybaby just like your

mom. Let's go! " He then burrowed his nose into her cheek before striding towards his car.
