NEVERTHELESS, Dra. Ko inserted a usb port on her laptop, and she watched the video inside the elevator whereas her niece went inside with a strange man, and then, a lot of people came in, which pressed the two at the back. She also saw how the two kissed unexpectedly. And before the man could go out, she pressed the spacebar to pause it. Seeing the face of the strange man, she took a sip on her coffee while she is planning of something big.

"LET GO," I demanded.
What is wrong with her? Why is she forcing me?
"Please... Zion, I'm begging you," she cried.
Staring at her, my world stopped because I don't know why I felt something fang my heart.
What did she do to me?
"Give me one valid reason why I should agreed with you," I mentioned while holding the back of her hand that is still gripping my uniform.
"Because you're the only one who I found attractive. I never liked anyone before. Just you," she confessed, and her one hand suddenly pulled my nape down to meet her lips.
My eyes widened due to sudden collission.
W-What did she say? S-S-She likes me? Is she for real?
I tried to push her but, she clang to me like a koala, and she wrapped her arms around my neck without breaking the kiss.
The heck!
This woman is unbelievable!
Let go!
But, she doesn't budge. She just continued to kiss me with her eyes close.
My heart... it's gonna explode. Her kisses are like spell that persuading me.
She's really pretty though.
Unconsciously, I couldn't stop my eyes from closing, and my hands gripped her waist as I response to her kisses.
I've been longing for her since our heated moment in the elevator.
Hungrily, I took over her, and I pushed her against the wall with my one hand on her head to support her.
I never thought that I'll be intimate with a woman. Not until now.
Her lips are very soft and sweet. I love it.
God, I want her now.
I pulled from our kiss when I go down to her neck but, I suddenly froze when my conscious finally came back.
Enough with the fantasy.
No. It cannot be.
She, then, grabbed my face to kiss me again when I pulled away before our lips could touch. With that, her eyes opened and she was puzzled to what happened to me.
"What?" she confusingly asked.
"No. This is outrageous. This is wrong," I stated, and I opened the door again to go back to the hallway like nothing happened.
While I left her there alone.
That is ridiculous.
What am I doing?

Meanwhile, Toni got back home, and she immediately sat down the couch and covered her face with embarrassment because of what she did. She also tossed and crumpled her hair like a crazy woman.
"What the hell was that, Toni? You just said to him that you like him. Like, are you for real??? Are you an i***t? That was a very desperate move! Gosh!" she annoyingly hissed to herself.
Her melt down was interrupted when her phone ring for an incoming call. Seeing that it's her doctor, she answers it.
"Where are you right now?" Dra. Ko asked while calmly sitting on her chair at her office.
"I'm at home. Why?" she replied, and fixed her hair that she crumpled.
"I got a perfect candidate for your natural way of how to get pregnant. He's 35 years old, and has a blood type of negative O. And that means, even the child will have the father's blood, it won't be a problem if you take someone's blood if your child needs a blood tranfusion. He has a good physique, not too thin, not too fat. Just right. Like you wanted. He's also smart as he excelled in his academics before so, you don't have to worry about the child's intelligence. He's a hardworking man, and love his younger sister even though his parents were both dead," Dra. Ko enunciated.
Toni nodded in response as she likes what she is hearing.
"There's one problem though."
"And, what's that?"
"He's poor, and his younger sister has down syndrome. That would be a real problem because your child might have one too."
"I see nothing wrong about having a child with down syndrome. Every child is special on their own. I would be happy to take care of my child regardless if he or she is sick, or not," she genuinely said, and she smiled without judging anyone.
Dra. Ko smiled too for she is proud to her niece's comment after knowing that she doesn't care if the child will have a gene problem or not because every child is a special gift from God.
"You're right. So, let's set you up?" she asked again.
"Yes. Let's do it. I'm ready," she confidently recited.
"Okay. I'll send you the details when and where you two will meet. Don't worry, he's negative for any sexually transmitted infection, okay," Dra. Ko informed.
"Alright. We're settled then."
And, Toni ended up the call.
.
.
Afterward, someone knocked at Dra. Ko's office.
"He's here, Doc!" the man behind the door announced.
"Come in, please," she replied, and she put down her phone on the desk as she is ready to meet the perfect candidate for Toni.
The door swung to open and Mr. Ting walked inside with Zion. They both stood in front of her.
"I'll leave him alone, Doc," Fred told with a little bow, and he left Zion alone with her.
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Ting," she acknowledged with a smile.
The time Mr. Ting left, Zion was confused of what is happening.
"Please have a seat, Mr. Zion Rilo." She gestured the chair in front of her desk.
Zion sat down in front of her obediently.
"Let's not beat around the bush anymore, Mr. Rilo. This is you, right?" she mentioned, and she turned her laptop around for him to see his own face on the pause video in the elevator.
In response, his eyes widened in surprise seeing himself caught in cctv camera with a woman.
"Tell me, Mr. Rilo, do you know that woman you just kissed?" she asked with an arch eyebrow at him.
"Y-Yes. I just discovered that she's the famous engineer in Manhattan. That's Toni Wayman," he seriously answered, and he gulped the lamp on his throat nervously.
"That's right. And, do you know that I could sue for harassing my niece?" she said to intimidate him.
"Your niece, Doc? I didn't know. I-I apologize, Dra. Ko. That wasn't really intentional. I didn't know, I swear," he frustratingly replied.
"Well, we can sort this thing out. You just have to follow everything I said, or you preferred behind the bars?"
"What do I have to do?" he queried, afraid for his life.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Rilo. This is strictly business only. And don't worry because you will be paid after it. I'll give you the details tomorrow night."
"W-What do you mean by I 'will be paid after it'?" he asked more.
"Let's just say I'm helping a patient who are in desperate need and you are the perfect fit for it." She then stood to stand in front of him, and she smiled at him. "Relax. I'm just kidding about suing you. I'm not really going to do that, you silly man. Well, I didn't hear her complain about it so, I don't think it's considered as harassment. Anyway, I heard about your financial problem and your sister. And if you help me out, I'm going to cover all of your younger sister's hospital fees. The vaccines, the medicines that she needs, and whenever she get sick, I'll take care of it as long as you stick with our deal. Not to mention that you will also receive a 10 billion dollars for it," she announced in a negotiable way.
"What kind of deal is it?"
"The deal is to make her pregnant. You know, Toni is a wonderful woman. She built her own career without her parent's help in a young age. She has everything. The wealth, the beauty, the brain, and the skills. Though, she has one problem. She's getting old and her uterus is gonna expired, meaning menopause. Just so you know, she's gonna be 33 this year, and if she doesn't get pregnant by this year, it will be a devastating years for her. So if you are kind to help her, I'll set up everything. And just to be clear, your health insurance will be covered too, not just your younger sister. So, would you help us? You don't have to think of the child too if you ever produced one because she can take care of that, and because she's been wanting to have a daughter or a son. You know, have a little family of her own."
"Can I think about it first?" he mentioned.
"Sure. But you only have 24 hours. Text me your answer once you have been decided," she said, and she gave him a calling card.
He accepted the card and stared at it while thinking.

SOON, Zion went home to Sarah who is sleeping soundly already. Silently, he sat down in front of her to gaze at her while thinking about the good offer for him.
"A secured health insurance for me and for her. That's a really nice offer. But, am I really going to sacrifice my dignity just so we could get that benefit?" he whispered to himself, deliberating what's right from wrong.
His thought vanished when all of a sudden, Sarah's both hands started to move so, he reached for it to be able to stop it, but it didn't that gives him a panic.
In a rush, he carried her younger sister to the emergency that the nurses and doctors began to do their job. While he cried for her while watching them put needles on her skin.
"Are you the relative of the patient?" the male doctor asked.
"Yes, I am her elder brother. What happened to her?" he queried.
"As we assesed her situation, she had a seizure. Tell me, is this the first time she had an attack?"
"I think so. This is the first time I saw her like that."
"I see. Well, good thing and you brought her here immediately, or she would have died instantly. For now, we are going to wait for her laboratory results. I am also going to send her for CT scan and MRI so, we could diagnose her illness properly."
"Meaning, she's going to stay here for a while?"
"Yes, unfortunately."
"And, how much would that cost? All of the tests?"
"I think it's around 30 thousand dollars. We can inquire to the Radiology department if you want. And, if you have any more questions, you can ask our nurses. They will answer you."
"Okay, Doctor. Thank you so much."
The doctor then left him, and he sat down beside his sister frustratingly due to their growing bills. He so fished his wallet to see how much money he have left, and when he opened it, he saw a hundred dollar bill only that stressed him more. He closed it in despair when he noticed a card fell on the floor. He picked it up, and he saw the calling card that Dra. Ko gave.
He stared at it for a long minutes thinking if he's going to take it or not.
To be continued...
