THE LONG LOST LOVE - Chapter 65
“So, you’re saying that we need this flower extract?” Adrian asks again.
“Yes, but not only this. This flower extract is just the main ingredient. The next is we need to specified her blood. Because everyone had a different type of blood and substance, so everyone’s doses are specially designed for them. They can’t be identical. Like Veron, his dose needs to mix with the special species snake’s venom to create the dose for him.”
“So, how do you know what kind of mixed that Athena will need?” Zoro looks at him.
“That…I will need to withdraw her blood and do some test on it. But, I promised that I will help her to prolong her life. And I will still find the cure for all of them.”
All of them turn silent, they sigh heavily.
Richard finally voices out.
“That’ll be her decision to make. Whatever she thinks is best, we will respect her decision.”
All of the family’s eyes turn to look at her. Including Zoro.
Athena looks up at Ralph and ask. “How long you take to make the dose?”
“A few days after we got the extract and other substance if needed.” He replies without a hitch at all.
“Other than can prolong my life span, can it make me a normal woman again?”
Ralph frowned a bit hearing her question. “Normal in what?” He asks.
“Can I have a baby? Can I revived myself if I get hurt?”
Her question makes all the eyes turn to her again. All have the same thought that Athena really wants to have a child with her husband.
“About reviving yourself, we still in the study on how to reverse the mutation back. And..about whether you can have a baby or not…I never know if the mutation can make you barren or what. Because the other two Golden V’s woman never gets pregnant before. But. I think they are good to have a baby. We’ve checked their cell and body system. Everything is fine.”
This time, all of the Lee dumbstruck. They’ve checked with the specialist that Athena can’t have a baby. The mutation makes her barren, but why it is different from Ralph theory and result? Is there something that they missing out?
Athena’s eyes lit up hearing his explanation. “If it can make me live longer than it should, I will take the risk. I’m ready.”
“Seriously!”
“Are you serious?”
Both of Aurora and Zoro talk at the same time.
Hai Rin wants to say something, but Richard makes her stop.
“Let her decide. It’s her own choice.” He whispers to his wife.
Hai Rin nodded slowly beside him. She was worried, but then like her husband said earlier. It is her own daughter’s choice. They have been deciding everything since she was mutated and now is her own choice to decide what she wants to do with her life.
Athena turns to look at Zoro and then she turns to Aurora.
“Yes. I want to live. I decide to live. Why you guys so surprised?”
Aurora shakes her head. “No, I’m happy for you.”
Zoro lowered his gaze. He sighing. “I just worried that you might get hurt when he does the withdrawing process. You know…”
Athena gaze turn soft. She knows how Zoro loved her, and until now, she can’t believe it that he still has a little love for her left in his heart.
“Hey..I’m tough okay. I can handle it. It’s not like he gonna drain my blood out, right Ralph?”
Ralph smile. “Yes. don’t worry. I just take one glass tube only.”
“Well, do it at my lab. I can’t let Athena getting hurt to where I don’t know her whereabouts.” Lee Zhing voices out and Jack beside her nodded in agreement with his wife reason.
“Yup. If you want your team to come here, just tell me their location and I’ll send my elite squad to fetch them.” Adrian said.
“Well, Madam Zhing, thank you for your hospitality. I will use your lab to run the test and Mr. Adrian, I may need your help to fetch my team and also Mr. Shon.”
“After we are done taking Athena’s blood, we need to set off to Borneo. The full moon night will be in two days from now. If we not hurry, we will miss the opportunity.” Ralph explained his planned.
“If regarding that, I can call my agent to find the flower’s extract for your use,” Richard said.
“I’m sorry Mr. Lee. But its better if me myself going there to take the extract. I will bring Shon for distracting the wild animal and I only need protection.”
“I wanna go too.” Athena suddenly said, offering her service to help him.
“What? No dear, that’s dangerous.” Hai Rin said.
“Mommy, I’ve been in danger for years. It’s only for two night. Please…”
“Then, I’ll go with you.” Zoro also offered his help.
“Z..”
“No, don’t say anything. Your husband is not here. So let me protect you and Ralph and that guy named Shon too.”
“Are you sure you want to go Athena?” Richard asks firmly.
“Yes, daddy.”
“Then, be safe.”
“Okay, daddy.” She smiles happily at her father.
“So, our discussion end here for today. Adrian, prepare the elite squad to fetch Mr. Ralph’s teammate and Lee Zhing, help him to prepare a complete facility for his uses. In the next two days, Athena, Zoro and Ralph please be safe and return back safely too.” Richard finalized the meeting.
“Yes, dad.” Adrian gives him an answer. He helps his wife and went back to his room.
Lee Zhing nodded and she went to Athena. Caress her cheek and hair, she looks at her with a loving gaze.
“You so beautiful. Aunty hopes everything will turn out great.”
“Thank you, Aunty.” She smiles.
“Hm. Good night Athena.”
“Good night.”
“Zoro, you stayed a night here, alright?” Richard pat on Zoro’s shoulder.
“Thanks for inviting uncle, but I need to return to my house. I had an order from the princess.”
“Huh?”
“Its Athena’s order. I can’t disobey it.”
“Oh..” Richard don’t know what to say. He feels a bit sad when he asks Athena to marry Aslan that time, while he knew that Athena and Zoro are in a term at that time.
“Good night uncle, aunty.” He bows his head a little before he went to Athena who just saying goodbye to Aunty Lee Zhing.
“I’ll be going home. And see you again in next two days.” he smile and ruffles her hair before he walks out from the meeting room.
Athena just shakes her head and brush her hair again using her hand.
“Athena..going upstairs?” Aurora calls her.
“Yeah…I need to make a call to Aslan.”
“Oh..Well, tomorrow I’ll drive you to Aunty Lee Zhing’s lab with Ralph too.”
“Okay..”
“Good night Aur..”
“Good night Thena..”
“Ah, Ralph..thanks for trying to helping my sister,” Aurora said when she saw that Ralph just finish texting with someone.
“No problem. I want to help other survivors too.”
“So, is your teammate okay with helping my sister?”
“Yes, they will come tomorrow. I just send their location to your brother.”
