206 The Return Of Hailey (1/2)

Aijohn had clear distinctions between right and wrong,anddiscernment between good and bad.

Hailey and the lab may be his life for many years,but he could not allow his marriage to be ruined just because of his dream. He felt sorry for his loss as he looked around but before he could allow himself to fall,he walked away.

Hailey followed him through her eyes until he disappeared. Tears fell down her face,but these would be the last. Her life didn't end at the vehicular accident during the peak of the storm,it wouldn't also end at the loss of someone who used to be her husband. The fact that he walked away and did not even plead,meant that he could no longer be hers.

Few years from now,she would take the crown from him.This could have been hers but in the name of love, she gave all the credits to him. She wanted to see his dream coming true,that one day, a child who used to live in a shack by the creek,would be recognized by the world.

There were so many limitations to Hailey's Pill because Aijohn did not know,that aside from what she declared as the active ingredients of the miracle pill,there must be supporting enzymes from other plant sources to activate thosecells who would be worn out against the battle of malignancy.

This would have been her great surprise to him but that tragic event overtook her.

The reason why Hailey's Pill would no longer be effective once the intake was stopped, was because the worn - out cells would become insensitive after the stressful battle.

The immune cells would also loss its memory about its previous attacks and responses.Cell regenerations may occur but it would produce the same weak cells.

As to how and why the cells would become erratic, she could not explain yet,but someday, she wore, she would unravel its complexities.She would reveal the mystery.

The distressed and exposed cells to Hailey's Pill would need other factors to boost it out and other factors to regenerate new ones.

Her coming back would be to complete the task. She would correct the flaws of Hailey's Pill. She would improve its weaknesses. Ten years from now,she would shine into the world as the founder of the perfect cancer curewhile Aijohn would be completely cut off. His name would then be blotted outfrom the pages of breakthroughs and history.

Sad for him. But this was the prize of choosing his family over his dream. It wouldn't matter if her love story failed,there were better things waiting for her ahead. She was never closed - minded. She would never cry over spilled milk forever.

When Aijohn returned home,she called up Grace to meet him in their parent's house. Sensing its urgency,the three cancelled their activities and gathered around.

”Hailey is back! ” He said, shifting his gaze to the three of them.

What? What happened to her?Where did she go in all these years?

Who saved her? Why didn't she came back?

He smiled at the many questionsraised simultaneously towards him.

He also didn't know the answers yet.

”Mom,dad,she's back to correct the flaws of Hailey's Pill. Even if we worked it out together in the past,she was the real discoverer of those enzymes. The solution to the present limitations of Hailey's treatment lies in her hand. ”

”What is your point, son? ” Mr. Felix asked,confused on what would be the effect of her reappearance.

”Shedropped me out from the cancer cure project. ”He said, his eyes unblinking.

”So,it means that,I would be resigning as the head of the research team andfrom the whole research project. ”

”Is she angry at me? ” Grace couldn't help but speak her heart out. That was her only concern. The success or failure of the project wouldn't matter anymore, now that her twin sister is back.

”No,she highly respects you. That's

why she asked me to leave. ”

Madamme Glenda looked at him with a pang of pity in her heart.

”Italso means the end of your dream. ” She grimly said.

”My wife and my children are my

trophy. ” He said as he wrapped his hand over Grace's shoulder.

Grace tearfully hugged him back. There were many things to thank him for but she was too overwhelmed to say it now. There were only two words she could affford to say.And those were the most overused words.

”Thank you. ”

”Then,Mr. Felix suddenly thought of something. ”Son,perhaps she could help Dr. Jim. ”

Aijohn shook his head. ”Jim is,unfortunately,late of Hailey's Pills and too ahead for Hailey's new breakthrough.

Grace heart sanked. He used to be the man she loved.
