It’s Monday morning. Because of recent events, Simon took a taxi instead of using his car to go to his office. It’s been a while since he tried to be average. At the hospital he owns, everyone greeted him with a welcoming smile.
“Good morning, doc!” everybody greeted him.
Simon smiled. “Good morning.”
Clara, his assistant nurse, follows him immediately when he arrives at his office. She got some coffee. His office is simple and cool as well.
“How’s your leaving, Doc? Were you able to rest?” said Clara.
Clara faced him with both hands on the table and a slight bow. He looked at her open uniform and almost got a look at her breasts.
Simon glanced away from the uniform. He looked at Clara.
“I said to you, Clara, to repair your uniform. You are a nurse, not a brassiere model,” says Simon.
Simon instantly sipped his coffee. He had a fresh taste of coffee, but he ignored it. If it were poison, that would be brilliant. Clara smiled and stared into his face. In how the woman looked at him, he was right in his suspicion. She had put something in his coffee that was likely poison or a potion. He lived long, and many have done such a thing to him. Some are out of envy, and others are out of love.
Simon held Clara’s face and drew his face towards her. She closed her eyes When the woman believed he was about to kiss her. Simon smiled slightly and stared at the woman.
“Clara, pay attention to your boyfriend. You don’t interest me,” Simon told Clara.
Clara’s eyes widened. Simon was no longer holding her. Simon wasn’t standing next to her, so she turned around. He stood at the door. He had already opened the door and let Clara go out. And the woman frowned and walked away. Simon closed the door immediately and breathed deeply.
He may have a longer life, but he’s also a man who can feel ho*** and hot-boned when women flirt with him like Clara, but the cry from his brain is more powerful than the cry from the flesh.
Simon was sitting in his place when somebody knocked on the door. It was Clara.
“Doc, the surgery will start in 5 minutes. The patient has already moved into the operating room,” she said.
“Very well, thank you,” replied Simon.
Simon immediately stood up and put on his uniform.
Everyone knows his hospital for its achievements and positive reviews from its patients. The hospital also provides medical and funeral care for those who cannot afford a hospital bill for one week’s support for hospital tasks such as cleaning, bringing food to patients, and changing bedding, blankets, and pillowcases. The hospital is educating them before they get to work. There is also a small allowance for their families. It’s been Simon’s simple task for two hundred years.
Simon and Samuel argued once about the free hospital service, but Samuel did nothing because it was his. He did not reject all the patients he could care for at the hospital, even if they had contagious illnesses. Children who know him refer to him as a “super doctor.”

When his emergency team encountered him in the emergency room, he had just finished his operation. It shocked him when he met the patient on the stretcher, covered in blood and still wearing a police uniform.
“Uncle, it’s Ella,” Seth said, weeping.
“Is that Ella?” Simon was quite shocked.
He turned to the nurses and ran into them. The nurses let Seth out, but Simon came through.
“What happened?” Simon spoke to the nurse.
“Gunshot, doctor, into the chest,” said the nurse.
Simon provided immediate support for the operation.
-
During surgery, the patient’s blood pressure decreases. Simon was a bit upset. He knew Ella would lose, regardless of what he did. While Simon was doing the surgery, Ella’s blood pressure and heart rate dropped. Behind Simon’s face mask, he prayed while operating on Ella. Two doctors were there, and they knew Ella could not handle the extended operation. It will take two to six hours. While the bullet was still in Ella’s lungs, he concluded they had shot Ella less than 3 feet from the gunman. Simon lacks patience. He would not let Ella die. She’s too young to die and still hasn’t taken advantage of life.
“Scalpel,” Simon said.
The nurse handed him the knife. Simon removed his gloves and cut his arm. Everyone there looked at him in shock.
“Simon, what are you doing?” The other doctor asked.
“Syringe,” said Simon.
“But doc…” muttered another nurse.
“Follow my command!” Simon’s voice was powerful. “The patient is dying!”
Everybody’s a little confused. Simon felt the pain, but it was only an instant. Within a few seconds, the wound healed as well. He took the syringe and halved his blood there. Everyone is still monitoring the patient’s vital signs. They overheard the noise of the machine. He looked at her, and Ella’s heart rate was flat. He quickly transferred blood from the syringe into the tube strapped to her dextrose.
Simon waited a few seconds, but Ella didn’t have a heartbeat yet. Nothing happened when he started pumping her chest. He became desperate. He hugged the woman and cried.
-
Ella is recovering in the hospital. Many people are asking questions about the girl’s rapid healing. He even wanted to know how Ella lived. Everyone thought she was dead, but after about five minutes, the machine rang again, signaling that Ella was still alive. As Simon watched Ella sleep deeply, he turned to Samuel. He’s holding her hand. It was long before Samuel and Nana had the chance to have a child. There were over forty couples during this period.
“Thanks a lot, Simon. You saved my family once more,” Samuel said.
Samuel’s ancestors were aware of Simon’s secret. Rafael, Helena, and Lando’s son died after the transfusion, and he didn’t know why. He just thought that maybe only his body could do this weird thing and not be able to translate it to other people. Since then, Simon did not merely give his blood for fear that the fate that had befallen him would pass on to the one he translated. It took him almost 70 years to figure out what happened to him after that day, but he got no answer. Regardless of the suicide he commits, his body heals illness, injury, or fractures within seconds. He’s going through some pain, but it’s only temporary. What effect did his blood transfusion have on Ella? He was uncertain for how long.
“Ella is like my daughter, the kid is close to me, so I can’t let her die, and I know I can save her,” said Simon. “I’m sorry too. I know you don’t want me to transfuse your children with my blood, too, because I don’t know what would affect them, but I had to….”
“It’s okay. Even if you do not do it voluntarily, I will ask you. She’s too young to die. And I can’t afford it, as her parents like to bury her. So, thank you so much,” Samuel said.
Samuel hugged Simon. After that, Simon laughed as Samuel wiped his tears with his hand.
“Any news on the suspect?” Simon asked.
“As you ordered, I’m going after him. As long as we get the money, we’ll find him quickly,” Samuel said.
“When he gets caught, bring him to me,” said Simon.
Samuel nodded.
Simon never came home to keep an eye on Ella. He sent Samuel home to rest. His friend is no longer a kid, and he doesn’t want him to be the next one to disappear. Simon was standing by the room’s window, staring out. He recalled the help he had received from his ancestor, Samuel. That is how he cared about his family up to this point.
Simon never came home to monitor Ella. He sent Samuel home to rest. His friend is no longer a kid, and he doesn’t want him to be the next one to disappear. Simon was standing by the room’s window, staring out. He recalled the help he had received from his ancestor, Samuel. That is how he cared about his family up to this point. The Year 1500 Lando and Simon stood at the window watching Helena nursing her baby. Helena gave birth several months ago. Though the couple showed no malice, Simon was still ashamed of Helena. The couple had a son, and they named him Rafael. “I heard from the town that the sultan had become sick, a serious illness. No babaylan could heal the sultan,” he said. “Is it infectious?” asked Simon. “I’m not sure,” Lando said while looking at Helena. “I’m worried about them. They say there are many sick people in other cities, and they are slowly approaching us.” “We are a long way from the town. We’re probably not going to be infected,” Simon says. “This infectio
There wasn’t much of a crowd when Simon left the hospital, so he decided to walk. It’s a good thing Seth volunteered to check on Ella. He had already walked a half-mile, and it surprised him when a car ran into him and threw him a few meters back because of the impact. The front of the car that hit him was slightly smashed.Luna didn’t dare move. When she sank into it, she quickly exited the car and immediately approached the man lying on the road who still seemed alive. Her face was a few inches away from him as she was about to check on him when he suddenly opened his eyes. To her shock, her right palm landed instantly on his face, which surprised the man.“Whoa! You know, you are a brute.” Simon said, while caressing his face that the girl hit him. “You crashed on me and then slapped me,” he continued.He got up from lying on the road, rubbing his cheek. Simon sat down and turned to the woman, kneeling on the road. From the look on her face, she must be daydreaming. And Simon rose,
Seth’s stomach almost hurts when he laughs. Simon raised his eyebrows and looked at Seth. Simon sat on the couch, with Seth on the other side. Sam and Ella were standing across from Simon.“Uncle, frankly, you don’t seem cool at all. You look more like a criminal.” She bites her cheek inside to avoid laughing.“What were you thinking and agreeing with Seth’s nonsense?” said Samuel.Simon hasn’t answered his question. He just took a deep breath.“And as for you, Seth? You seem like a young, uneducated guy, and you always screw up your Uncle Simon. You have no respect at all,” said Samuel.“This will be the last time you tease Uncle. Once you do it again, I’ll make sure you get locked up, Seth,” said Ella. “I mean that too.”“I have to rest,” said Simon.Simon stood up and went to the second floor of his room. She signed for Seth to apologize to Simon, but Simon was already in his room.Simon walked into the room. He was sitting on his bedroom balcony and looking up at the sky. It was a
They were both out of breath as they emerged from the water. When she recovered, it shocked Simon when she suddenly slapped him. “What the… Why did you slap me?” said Simon in shock, rubbing his cheek. The woman was silent. Instead, she embraced herself. Simon looked at the woman and prepared to undress when she kicked him on the knee. Simon groaned. “Well, why have you hurt me again?” asked Simon with reluctance. “If you plan something evil against me, I can break your bones,” said the woman. “You’re such a violent woman. Didn’t you know how to thank someone? I have helped you,” said Simon. “What have you helped me with? Did I order you?” the woman said rudely. He stared at the woman’s face. “You are going to commit suicide, Mademoiselle,” said Simon. “Suicide? What are you saying? I just slipped and…” said the woman. “Ah, grrr. Why am I explaining this to you? Annoying!” The woman rose and walked while embracing herself. Simon also rose, removed his clothes, and went after t
Luna looked at Simon. Simon noticed this. “You’re staring at me again; you want to strangle me?” Simon asked.Luna averted her eyes from Simon. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with looking at you. Unless, of course, you want me to choke you.” Luna said.Simon laughed. “By the way, the man who shot Ella is already behind bars,” said Luna.Simon frowned. “When was that guy caught? Why are we not informed?”“We told Ella that the shooter had been caught. He got caught in a buy-bust operation. He’s an addict,” said Luna.“I would like to meet this man,” said Simon.“For what? To take revenge?” said Luna.“Yes,” he merely said.“I won’t let you see him,” Luna replied.Their conversation broke down when the server arrived and placed their order. When the food was placed on the table, the waiter left immediately. Luna wasn’t saying anything. The two were quiet. They were almost done eating when Luna spoke again.“Leave me here, Simon, after we eat,” said Luna.Simon frowned. “Why?” He g
Ella was surprised as they walked into the house. She was sitting on the couch while she was busy with her laptop. She was still surprised to see Luna; she and Seth were handcuffed.“Luna?” She asked with a frown.Ella immediately reached out to her brother and hit him. “Why do you habitually beat me?” complains Seth.“And you complain again? What did you do this time? Why are you handcuffed?” Ella asked with irritability.“I used this sergeant to hook him up earlier,” Luna said, taking off Seth’s handcuffs.“Why the hell are you acting like this? What’s wrong with you?” asked Ella.Luna has distanced herself from both. Simon pulled Luna onto the couch for a seat. They watched the siblings.“I can’t accept that Dad is gone. Why is it so easy for you to forget him?” Seth got mad. “Daddy doesn’t mean anything to you.”“Enough of judging me, Seth. You have no clue how I feel. If the loss of Dad hurts you, I’m hurt too. What would you have me do? Do the things you do.” Ella said. “Become w
Simon didn’t go to the hospital; he had to visit the company, so he went there. Everybody was surprised at his sudden stop, but the employees welcomed him immediately. The local workers knew him as Samuel’s brother. In Samuel’s office, Secretary Ann was astonished to see him. She smiled gently as she walked beside him in Samuel’s office.“Coffee, sir?” asked the secretary.He merely looked at the woman and the table where Samuel was seated.“Yes, please. Thanks,” says Simon.Secretary Anne went outside while he was walking around the room. Samuel’s memories are still there. He got close to the window. He took the curtain off a bit to see the whole city. There’s still a pain in his chest. He approached Samuel’s desk, touching the backrest of the swivel chair as he looked into the room from there. Samuel’s room has a mini lounge, where he welcomes essential company guests when there are few. He sat on the swivel chair and made some movements. He chuckled a bit to speed up the rotation of
Simon came home late. He’s done a lot of work in the business Samuel left behind. He was exhausted. He immediately went directly to the kitchen to get water. When he saw Ella, he immediately came close to her. He laid his hand on his niece’s shoulder and kissed her head, then went straight to the refrigerator and got some water.“I was worried about you earlier; this criminal seems crazy,” said Simon, pouring water into the glass. “And your friend—I don’t know whether she’s as mad as that criminal.”When Simon closed the fridge, he drank water right away. He was surprised as the light went on. From behind, Ella spoke.“Why are you holding on in the dark? There’s a light.” Ella went into the fridge. “Hi, uncle. Why are you late?”Simon frowned and turned toward the left. Luna was there, eyebrows up, looking at him.“Eeew, uncle!” Ella yelledSimon spilled his water on Ella when he saw Luna. “You are here!” Simon was shocked.“Yes, I’ve heard everything you’ve said. You even kissed me on
