One last time

Walking towards the little boy, Liza sat down beside him. "Why aren't you eating?"

Looking at Liza with his big round eyes, he wrapped his tiny hand around her thumb and murmured, "Mama...feed."

When the nurse breathed a sigh of relief, Liza asked, "What happened?"

"It's nothing ma'am, I am just relieved that he can talk." 

Liza frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Actually this is the first time he has said something after we have found him. No matter how hard we tried, he wouldn't say a word." In order to know where the kid was from and how he ended up at the hospital, the police as well as the hospital staff tried to take things out of him but nothing worked. The little boy wouldn't say a word no matter how hard everyone would try. After several failed attempts, they all thought that he might be dumb.

Turning towards the little boy, Liza smiled and caressed his cheeks. "Well, hello handsome boy. Why aren't you eating anything? Don't you want to become strong like a superman?"

When the boy nodded his head, Liza picked up a slice of fruit and started feeding him. 

"Mama...feed?" The boy asked.

When Liza smiled and nodded her head, the boy opened his mouth and started eating the fruits happily. 

"I'll go and look for Dr Bailey okay? You can stay here with him and I'll be back soon." When Liza smiled and nodded her head, Jackie left.

...

Dr Bailey's cabin.

"The little one?" Dr Bailey asked.

When Jackie nodded his head, Dr Bailey sighed, "Things are really messy with the little one. We all can say that he is super lucky to have received medical help from nurse Silvia. If not for her fast actions, he would've surely been dead by now."

"But what exactly happened to him?" Jackie asked.

Taking out the boy's medical reports, Dr Bailey added, "He was given a mixture of different kinds of chemicals. It was actually injected into his body but he is lucky that the dose was not so high. And surprisingly all the chemicals used have a really slow metabolism rate. It was injected in his body at least three days before the incident happened."

Pausing for a while, Jackie asked, "What about Silvia? Was she given the same medicine?"

Dr Bailey shook his eyes and answered, "Luckily Silvia was just given an average dose of sedative. As I said before, she must've woken up the same day but I don't know what happened but that is a really common phenomenon. Silvia's reports are very normal and there are no abnormal signs."

"So you mean both of them were purposely targeted?" Jackie asked.

Dr Bailey thought for awhile and explained, "You are Mr Jones, I can't say anything about the boy because he was found outside the hospital and we don't really know what might've happened with him but for Silvia, I would say that yes she was purposely dragged in to this. We still don't know what the main source of the fire is and very surprisingly, the CCTV's have been inactive only for the time when this incident happened." 

"So what about the boy now? Is he stable?" Jackie asked.

"I am afraid of that Mr Jones. The boy seems very quiet and calm even after the whole fiasco. Usually kids of his age don't behave so calmly after going through something so huge but he seems a bit different." 

"You think he isn't normal?" Jackie asked.

"Well, his reports are normal and nothing seems to be wrong about him." Passing the boys reports to Jackie, Dr Bailey added, "I think he has some kind of psychological problem."

...

Somewhere in the UK.

The glass table shattered into pieces when Gorus knocked it down using all his strength.

"Why did you do that?" Gorus shouted his lungs out. 

Without waiting for the man's reply, he added, "Both of them were supposed to be dead by now. You were supposed to kill them and we have been planning this since a really long time then what happened? What went wrong?" 

Giving his father a blank looks, Johnathan flatly answered, "I don't know what you're talking about father, I did what you asked me to."

"Don't lie to me Johnathan, you purposely gave me the wrong drug. We were supposed to kill Silvia Green, not just sedate her. Do you know how you have made things difficult for me? I was happy and relieved because I thought she was gone but I was wrong." Gorus shouted. 

"I did each and everything that you asked me to. From starting the fire to testing that stupid drug so it really isn't my problem if your plan failed." 

Gorus narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Only if you weren't my own flesh and blood I would've shot you dead by now." 

When Johnathan did not say anything, Gorus asked, "You like her don't you?"

When Johnathan frowned, Gorus pursed his lips. Keeping quiet for quite some time, Gorus added, "Out of all the women in the world, all you got was Sabrina Jones' daughter. Well, that is just great. Apart from the fact that I'll never let anything happen between the two of you, remember that she is a married woman and someone's wife. Save yourself some dignity and stay out of this. Silvia Green has to die no matter how hard anyone tries to save her because I'll be at peace only after I see her dead body lying inside the coffin."

Tucking his hands inside his pocket, Johnathan said, "Silvia is not someone who can harm you or anybody." 

"Okay so what about the boy? Why didn't you kill him?" Gorus asked. 

Johnathan shook his head and answered, "I don't know what happened with him. I had already told Elias about the dosage. Infact, Elias was responsible for injecting the drug in that kid. 

Gorus narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Elias."

Slamming his hand on the table, Gorus shouted, "Call Elias."
