Knight Syndrome

Ren

Ren wanted to be forthright with his feelings, having hidden them once, he ended up playing games and tricks. Ameena is a great girl and she deserves to know how he feels.

The only problem is that Ren doesn't know how to talk to her or how she'll react if he tells her his feelings.

In response, she raised her eyebrows in question, realizing he had been staring at her the whole time.

An innocent smile spread across his face.

He waved his hand as to say it was nothing since she was at least five metres away.

The rural medical camp was successful and Ameena as usual had done well.

"Ren"

"Gorya? Why are you here?"

"Need to talk to you, it's urgent"

Ren followed her to the car.

She turned her head twice in both directions to check if someone was overhearing.

"Ameena...She came to see me yesterday. She told me to break up with Thyme. Something about him being responsible for her sister's death."

He couldn't believe his ears. Ameena had done the very thing he believed she wouldn't — hurt Gorya. What is going on here? He had to talk to her right away.

"Did you ask Gorya to break up with Thyme?" he pointedly looked at Ameena.

There was no surprise on her face.

"Don't know why she wants to be with a murderer" she said, with that frown on her face like she was angry at everything around her, unlike the calm and composed girl he had pursued before. He'd never seen Ameena look so cold.

"From now on, every word you say might be your last. Be careful." he scowled angrily at her.

"I will not forgive you for your crime, you will pay for it."

Ren was caught off guard by that.

"What?"

Then she pulled out some papers from her bag and handed them to him.

"Read this and tell me who's guilty!" she stormed off before he could say anything.

Gorya walked over from behind the wall.

She glanced at the paper. Gorya's eyes grew wide as she read the article.

"Ren, these are clearance documents for the cough syrup ALPACA."

A sigh escaped his lips as he sat on the ground.

"By the time I came to know of the phase 3 clinical trials, it was too late. I was in France when the board gave the medical clearance, they hid most of the subjects whose organs were affected due to lack of oxygen. Thyme and I went behind their backs and sent an anonymous report to the Drug Administration. But by then the first batch had already been distributed."

Gorya's eyes widened further at this revelation. "Ameena's sister was one of the victims?"

"MedSphere, the company with whom we partnered had betrayed us."

"I think you should let her know this. Maybe she won't like you after this. At least at least she will see you aren't guilty."
