Eight months later, sweats covered Natasha's body, she had been laboring in the maternity ward for more than three hours, yet she had been unable to deliver a baby. According to the scan she had done months ago, it had been revealed that she had two babies on the inside of her. She was tired and frustrated. Being in labor for more than three hours is definitely not what anyone would wish for.
"Ma'am, are you sure you don't want to do Cesarean section? It will be easier to get the babies out that way," the female doctor advised for the umpteenth time.
"No, I'll deliver them this way," Natasha insisted. Her mother had told her she delivered her through ceserean section but that since then, she was not able to deliver any other child again. Although Natasha didn't know if the CS was the exact thing that stopped her mother from getting pregnant, she still didn't want to take chances. She didn't want the babies she was about to deliver to be her last.
Just barely five minutes later, with help of the nurses shouting 'push,' the cries of babies could be heard in the room. Seeing two nurses carrying her babies, tears of joy streamed down her face. She did it! Happiness spread across her heart for the first time in a long time.
Eight months ago, Natasha had left Leaf City to the neighboring city to live secretly there. Since she had refused to go and beg Huxley as her father instructed, her father made some connections that began to make her life become miserable. She couldn't get a job, couldn't get a house to accommodate her, all house agents wouldn't let her rent a house, once they see her or hear her name, they pull out of any deal they have with her.
Her father was a powerful figure too in Leaf City so he can pull as many strings as he wants. The last event that happened before she left Leaf City was where she was forcefully kidnapped and taken to a laboratory. When it dawn on her that they were about to forcefully terminate the pregnancy in her belly, she threatened to kill herself.
Fortunately for her, she was able to escape that laboratory. She knew at that point that she had to flee Leaf City. So she came over to the neighbouring city, Crying-Sun city and live secretly.
Ever since she settled at Crying sun, surviving had been very difficult, she had been living with a blind old man ever since she got to the city. Although the blind man has a house she could live, the man had nothing else to his name. So she goes out to do all sort of menial works just to get food for herself and the blind old man that accomodated her. She treated the blind old man like a father. The blind old man also treated her like a daughter he never had.
Two weeks after her stay with the blind old man, he began to teach Natasha ancient medical skills, for the old man had lost his eyes to excess research. In his prime, he was a god of medicine.
Although people don't admire or welcome the ancient method of healing anymore, Natasha still continued to passionately learn it. After loosing her mother to a terrible disease that the doctors couldn't find a cure to, she saw the old blind man as an opportunity to learn skills beyond science reasoning. That way, she will not only save her loved ones from experiencing the kind of misfortune her mother experienced, she will be a salvation to mankind.
It's true her stepmother technically killed her mom, but truth was, her mother was already a living dead for more than two years, laying on the hospital bed helplessly.
Natasha couldn't wait to share the good news of the two babies she just delivered with the blind old man.
After she was discharged from the hospital, she went home but sadly, found out the man was nowhere to be found. On reporting to the police, it was extablished that the blind old man was kidnapped and the people who kidnaped him aren't ready to let him go.
What would anyone want from a blind old man? Natasha wondered and suddenly felt unsafe in the city. What if she's the next person the kidnappers will come for?
She will go back to Leaf City and find somewhere to hide. Her father may have stopped searching for her, he might have even forgotten that she exist. Afterall, eight months had already passed.
Although Natasha was yet to fully heal from her long hours of labor, she still carried her less than one month old twins and travelled back to Leaf City.
Natasha already booked an accomodations in Leaf City before she took off from Crying -Sun, but she used a different name.
She was supposed to head over to this reserved accomodation as soon as she highlighted from the train, however she noticed her babies eyes had suddenly turned yellow. Infact, their skin color was turning yellow too. She was scared to the gut. This was her first time having a baby and she didn't know precisely what this is.
She wondered if it was the long hour journey that she subjected the new born babies to that made them this way. She immediately went to the hospital, all these while hoping her father's people wouldn't sight her.
Her children were soon given a ward, each of her twin were laid on different beds while Natasha sat in the middle of the two close beds, observing her kids with an aching heart.
When the doctor came, he administered proper treatment to the twin and said, "they will be fine, ms. You don't have to worry."
"What actually happened to them?" Natasha asked worriedly. How can she not be worried when her newly born babies are sick.
"It's called Jaundice, it's a common illness that happens to newly born babies. It's really nothing to worry about, okay?"
Natasha nodded at the doctor's calm words and then watched as the doctor left. After two hours of waiting on her kids, she decided to use the toilet as she was feeling pressed.
She was soon out of the room, walking towards the toilet when she suddenly saw a mini chaos. Someone was being rushed to the emergency, and this person had so many burly escorts around him. Obviously, that person being rushed to the emergency must be a powerful figure.
The nurses carrying the stretcher suddenly approached Natasha, "doctor Violet, please, your attention is needed."
Doctor Violet? It seems these nurses were mistaken. Why are they addressing her as such. "Shall we take him to the emergency ward or you can quickly do something right here?" One of the sick man's escorts yelled angrily at Natasha who was still trying to recover from the mistaken identity.
Taking a proper look at the man's condition, she diagnosed what it was at once and said, "I'll get him to feel better. Just get me thirty nine acupuncture needles and a warm mugwort."
The nurses looked at themselves in surprise, they wondered why doctor Violet suddenly want to use the ancient method of healing instead of the modern healing method.
"Fucking do what she asked!" The leader of the escorts of the sick man shouted at the nurses.
The nurses dispersed at once to get what Natasha asked for. "Meanwhile, you can take him to the emergency ward, I'll join you there." Natasha said to the nurses that were left and at once, the nurs
es left with the stretcher that the was carrying the man.
After Natasha had finished using the toilet, she deliberated on whether to go to the emergency ward and treat the man. But what if they find out that she's not the 'doctor Violet' they mistook her for? Natasha knew for sure that Modern science can't fully heal the man, the best it can do is to stabilize his condition, only acupuncture method can permanently cure the man of his illness. She had learnt ancient healing method from the old blind man she lived with at Crying-sun. Natasha summoned courage and went to the emergency ward. On getting there, she realized that the man's condition had worsened so she quickly approached the man and began to make use of the needles. The nurses couldn't help but whisper amidst themselves. "Since when did doctor Violet start practicing acupuncture medicine, this method better not send Mr. Pushkin to his early grave." "Then her career will be doomed. She's already too proud for my liking. Taking such a risk on Mr. Pushkin is suicidal. I'm sure Mr.
Natasha began the process from the beginning again, unlike before when the man's eyes opened instantly, it took more than forty seconds before the old man coughed his way back to live. When he opened his eyes again, he said to Natasha, "you are my savior, thank you and I'll reward you." Natasha smiled, "don't bother, sir. I'm only helping." Seeing that the man was trying to stand, she spoke, "please relax, sir. The pin will be removed in another fifteen minutes and then you can stand and be able to do whatever you wish to do." "Really? I haven't being able to stand and walk in months." Mr. Pushkin said. Gratitude was written all over the man's face. The old man couldn't wait to stand. Fifteen minutes went by quickly and then, Natasha carefully removed the pins and helped the old man up. The old man stood and walk to the surprise of everyone present in the ward. Even Violet was shocked. She has no believe in pseudoscience. She didn't believe anything outside of science but seeing th
Dmitry alongside his ten regular escorts walked inside the ward that Elianor's kids were. "Are you the miracle Doctor?" Asked Dmitry. The woman seated between the twin stood, she recognized Dmitry at once. What is the demon of leaf city doing here? The most powerful man in the city standing before her on a day like this has to be a dream. The woman pinched herself secretly and forced out a smile, "yes...yes." At Dmitry's gesture, the door opened and two officials from the Civil Bureau stepped in with a marriage contract. They went ahead and placed the papers before the woman, "Cause of Mr. Dmitry's influence, you need not bother to come to the Bureau. Here's the marriage agreement, all you need to do is to provide us a passport photograph and put your signature here. Then you are officially Mr. Dmitry's wife." The woman thought she was dreaming. Her heart leaped for joy but it was also palpitating. She quickly brought out her purse and brought out a passport photograph then handed
At the most gigantic mansion in Leaf City, Mr. Pushkin sat on a soft cushion in the forth living room. He was impatiently waiting for his grandson. Soon, Dmitry walked in, his male personal assistant, Yuri entered with him. For they grew up together. "Grandfather," Dmitry greeted and went to sit. Yuri walked up to Mr. Pushkin and handed over the marriage certificate of Dmitry and the miracle Doctor to him after which he went to sit on a random seat, both of their attentions were set on Mr. Pushkin. Mr. Pushkin could be seen focusing his absolute attention on the marriage certificate, his old eyes bore seriously through his custom made glasses. After seeing that all necessities had been done on the marriage certificate, he placed it beside him, a beautiful smile now plastered on his face. "You have done well, Dmitry." Dmitry only nodded. "I'll take my leave now." He was about to stand when Mr. Pushkin quickly spoke. "Bring her over for dinner tomorrow." Dmitry paused, staring at h
While Natasha was waiting at the receptionist, she called the nanny overseeing her kids in order to ask about her kids, "hello, how are my kids doing?" "They are sleeping at the moment, ma. Although someone is currently knocking, I'm going to see who it is." "Don't. Don't even dare. Just pretend you aren't home, okay?" Natasha asked. "Is there a problem, ma?" "Not at all. Just do as I've said." Natasha then ended the call. She didn't care who the person knocking at the door of her house is. For all she cares, that person or persons could be from her father. Pavel had told her to wait for ten minutes, eight minutes had now passed. Precisely two minutes later, the receptionist who had just finished receiving a call said to Natasha, "Mr. Pavel said you may come upstairs." Natasha nodded and stood. Soon, she entered the elevator, she was about to press the close button when she saw two men walking directly towards the elevator that she was. One was about 6.5 ft tall, he was slim an
Dmitry, standing at the top balcony of the Pushkin's mansion, watched as the ambulance quickly took his grandfather away from the compound of the villa. "I thought that miracle doctor had permanently cured him of his illness?" Yuri, who was standing beside him answered, "perhaps, the healing isn't fully done. Shall I immediately send for the miracle doctor and order her to go to the hospital to treat Mr. Pushkin?" "Do that," Dmitry said with an aching heart. "This miracle doctor better find a solution to grandfather's sickness."Yuri at that moment had already placed a call across to Ruby and it had been answered. "Please go immediately to Virgio hospital, Mr. Pushkin is seriously sick and needs your attention." Ruby on the other end shivered in fear, for she had no knowledge of medicine. How would she treat Mr. Pushkin? Before she could even utter a word, Yuri already hung the call up. Ruby quickly went to meet Zara, her mother who was at that moment in the living room of the Iva
Meanwhile, Yuri received a call from Kenji while himself and Dmitry were on their way to Virgio's hospital. After the call had come to an end, Yuri said to Dmitry, "one of our low level men in the underground kidnapped a twin that are less than two months old. This isn't in our codes of honour. Should we ignore it or take action against this person?" "Kidnapping two months old baby? That's gross. Deal with the men and ensure the babies are safely returned to their parents," Dmitry said. "By dealing with them, you mean exterminating them? Cause that's the written punishment for anyone who commits this particular offense?" Yuri asked to be sure. "Leak what they did to our friends in the police." Dmitry commanded. "Got it. I'll ensure the babies are safely returned." Yuri said. Soon, their car came to a halt at the underground garage of Virgio's hospital. As soon as Dmitry stepped down, Yuri quickly walked up to him and spoke, "it was said that the babies are having serious temperat
As the doctor treats the kids, Natasha sat at a side. Not believing her eyes. She was still staring at the images that Google provided. This man- Dmitry Pushkin is not only the man she had a one night stand with a year ago but is infact, the CEO of Virgio's company. The company where she now works. What sort of a twist of fate is this? Natasha thought. Still trying hard to process everything that had happened in recent times. Did Dmitry know the kids are for him already? Soon, the doctor was done. He handed over a small paper containing lost of drugs that Natasha was to get for the kids. 'the kids will be fine in a couple of hours. They are just stressed." "Thank you doctor," Natasha said gratefully and as soon as the doctor became absent, she raised her gaze up at Naomi who was watching on the kids, she asked, "Naomi, did you tell Dmitry you are the kid's nanny?" Naomi thought about it and answered, "no. He thought I'm the mother." Only then did Natasha sighed. "Good. Good! Let'
