Trestan just entered the mall to buy an important book he needed because the bookstore where he buys the book is in the mall. Someone was calling him.

โ€œHello, Mrs. Santos?โ€

โ€œYour sisterโ€™s asthma is attacking her again. I canโ€™t find her inhaler.โ€ Mrs. Santos informed him. He always left her sister in the neighborhood especially when he needed to go somewhere.

โ€œThereโ€™s an extra inhaler in her school bag, Mrs. Santos. Iโ€™m sorry for the inconvenience. Iโ€™ll be right back when I bought what I needed.โ€

โ€œNo problem, Trestan. Besides, I like to take care of your sister. Sheโ€™s really a sweet girl.โ€

โ€œThank you, Mrs. Santos.โ€ And the call ended.

He immediately went to the second floor where the bookstore was located then he searched for a particular book about Bombs.

Well, he wanted to learn more about bombs because he is somehow interested in it. He remembered when he was a ten-year-old boy, his mother taught her how to deactivate a bomb. What wires needed to cut and needed to avoid.

Almost nothing can be seen in any part of the mall due to the thickness of the dust from the destroyed concrete walls and floors.Many people got injured and some of them died because of the unexpected event. The cry of the citizen calling for help was heard.Ferran successfully threw the bomb into the air and nothing was damaged by that bomb. He sighed in relief and breathed in and breathed out for some air. He almost ran out of breath due to running toward the exit earlier. He planned to rest for a while but he realized that Sanchez was still inside.โ€œSh*t.โ€ He inhaled deeply and entered the ruined mall to find Sanchez. Even though he was not sure if it was safe to go inside, he did not care. โ€œSanchez! Sanchez!โ€He saw some wounded people inside but not as much as in his dream and the situation is not nearly as bad.โ€œHelp! Help my mother! She g

    There are so many people outside the mall. Many rescues have also arrived earlier. Rescuers immediately approached Ferran TO put Trestan on the folding stretcher and take him to the ambulance van.โ€œTrestan!โ€ Blair neared them and held Trestanโ€™s hand. She was crying again.โ€œExcuse me! Excuse me!โ€ A voice was heard somewhere. It was Timotheus Alfarez who wanted to confirm if itโ€™s his son and he was right! โ€œT-Trestan.โ€ His face became pale, worried about his sonโ€™s condition. โ€œLetโ€™s take him to the hospital.โ€ He said and went with the ambulance. He did not even notice Ferran who took Trestan out of the mall because he wanted to take the child to the hospital immediately. Ferran just watched the departing ambulance while his arm was on Blairโ€™s shoulder. Someone tapped his shoulder and he looked at the person. โ€œDonโ€™t worry much. Heโ€™ll be fine.โ€ Sanchez said while he was still carrying the little girl on his arm because the child doesnโ€™t want to let go of him.Ferran sighed heavily and t

The doctor put his arm on Trestanโ€™s shoulder.โ€œDo you like that girl, huh?โ€ Dr. De Vega asked with a smirk on his face. Trestan creased his forehead but Dr. De Vega just laughed at him because of his epic facial expression. โ€œDonโ€™t take it seriously. Haha.

Dr. De Vega removed his arm on Trestanโ€™s shoulder and faced him. โ€œIโ€™m observing the blood of those who were injected by Dr. Garciaโ€™s antidote.โ€โ€œWhy?
