The next day, Helen sat on her bed, studying her pharmacy books ahead of the practical examination they had the following week. It was 2 p.m., yet she hadn't bathed nor eaten her breakfast since morning. Due to her plus-size figure, Helen was trying to lose weight. She busied herself studying for her project test and practical coming up the following week. Tasha returned from having her lunch and looked stunned to see Helen curled up on the bed, her books in her hands. "Damn it, Helen! How could you not leave this room for a whole day just because we have examinations and practicals next week? Come off it!" Tasha shouted, as she strolled up to the bed to meet Helen. Her hands reached for the book that Helen had been studying, and she snatched it and shut it. "Tasha, give me back my book. I do not want to fail this exam," Helen said as she frowned at her best friend's behavior. "You are beauty with brains, Helen. Obviously you wouldn't fail even if you didn't study your books for

When Helen finished packing a few of her clothes, she placed the medicine in her bag and prepared to leave the room. Tasha arrived and seemed shocked to see Helen already set to leave the hostel. "Helen, where on earth are you rushing off to?" Tasha asked, blocking Helen's path. "Tasha, I don't have time to explain. I have to hurry home. It's urgent," Helen replied, pushing past Tasha and dashing out of the room. "Fine. Call me when you get home, and be careful out there," Tasha said as Helen hurried away. "Alright," Helen replied. She made her way out of the hostel, carrying a black school bag on her shoulder, wearing a pair of black shoes and her blue dress. She walked out of the women's hostel and headed off the university grounds. As Helen continued trekking across campus, Samuel spotted her. He had been searching for her. Though it was a bet, he couldn't help wanting to speak with her. He called out, "Helen!" Helen froze and turned to see Samuel hurrying toward her. "What

Samuel hesitated before answering his mother's call. "Hello, Mom." "Samuel, how could you go behind your father's back to help the Robert family? Your father has been trying to cripple that family for years, and now you've succeeded in saving the Roberts' boss," Mrs. Stacey said, her voice calm but laced with annoyance. She was aware of all her husband's evil schemes that kept the Kingston family at the top of the pharmaceutical charts in their state and globally. "Mom, I have no idea what you and Dad are talking about. I didn't give any potent drug to anyone, and I don't know who Mr. Robert is. The last potent drug I made is still in trials and hasn't been distributed to the market," Samuel said, answering the call in his room. John stared at Samuel in shock, not knowing that Samuel was the secret genius who had created the last potent drug used to cure the paralyzed rats in the lab. Then why hadn't the lecturers announced Samuel? Was it because of his father's wealth, and they we

Helen, who had just arrived at the hospital as the same time as her brothers were leaving, was shocked when she saw them departing with frosty auras. "Big brothers!" She called to get their attention and wanted to rush over to them, but they looked at her as if she were not their sister. They got into their cars and drove off, and Helen was shocked by how her two older brothers had reacted at the sight of her. They didn't even look sympathetic; they glared at her as if she were the cause of her father's illness. "What's wrong with Dad? Why did brothers Paul and Zion glare at me like that?" Helen muttered, her voice tinged with confusion. Having no idea, she made her way into the hospital to find out what had happened to her father. Helen hadn't gone to her father's house. She got the hospital address from her mother and came directly to the hospital after leaving the university grounds. The university was a one-hour drive from the hospital. Helen had rushed over in the hope of see

Helen's heart softened under her mother's warm embrace. She hadn't expected that her father would automatically recover and even be able to talk and move his hands and legs on his own—something that he had not been able to do before. "Helen, do you have anything to say to the media? What university do you study at? Is it the well-known renowned Avalon's University?" an interviewer asked, and Helen got to realize that it was because her father's company went bankrupt and it was announced on the news that he was owing hundreds of workers' salaries. Not just that, some other hospitals that he was supposed to supply his medicine to—he failed to meet up with the supply. But now that he had been miraculously cured, they hoped that Helen would take over Roberts Pharmaceutical and distribute the medicine to other hospitals with other stroke victims too. "Miss Helen! Can you shed more light on how you got this miraculous medicine? Who created it, and what ingredients were used to create it? W
