"Vera?" Jackson called worriedly as he gathered her into his arms. "I'm sorry, look at me." 

Vera looked at his face with blurry vision. She smiled, raised her left hand to caress his face.

"If I don't die in your hands, then I will live long," she whispered before she lost consciousness again and her hand fell limblessly to her stomach.

"How dare you smile and crack such a joke in this condition?" Jack hugged her tightly and shut his eyes to subdue his tears.

He carried her into his office and called Mrs Briggs to help him get a female doctor.

"No one is allowed to come into my office, get me clothes that would fit Miss Vera. Bye!" He ended the call and tried to dress up before the doctor arrived.

Vera lay on the couch in his office and the only thing covering her nakedness was his jacket. He walked about restlessly in his office when he waited for the doctor.

When he heard a knock, he pushed the door open without making sure it's the doctor. He was lucky, the female doctor went straight to work.

"What exactly happened to her? This is an indecent act of brutality and seems to me like rape. Which dog did this to her? Maybe the person doesn't live in this country because of the penalty…"

"Doctor?" He cut her off.

"Oh, sorry, but this is too much!" 

"It's not rape! Besides, I called you here to treat her and not to pass judgement on anyone, the last time I checked, you are a doctor and not a lawyer!" He snarled.

The doctor became calm when she understood the message he's trying to pass to her. As she injected the vaccine into her, Vera's eyes opened and Jack rushed over to hold her.

"You are fine, right? I know the pain you must be passing through right now, but I can guarantee that you are going to be fine." He kissed her forehead and held her hand tightly.

"I fainted again? I should get used to the feeling by now," she turned her attention to the doctor. "There's nothing to worry about, I'm okay."

"I still need to prescribe some drugs for you to help your wounds heal faster. I also think you should be careful about…"

"Alright, doctor… I think you should go now, she's awake. Thanks for coming, Mrs Briggs will see to your payment." He cut the doctor off again and almost pushed her out of his office.

Just as the doctor left, Mrs Briggs handed three shopping bags to him as she waited by the door to see the doctor off.

Jack locked the door and helped Vera dress up in the new clothes and shoes. She was too weak to argue with him so he drove her to his house. She bathed with hot water and went straight to bed as soon as she got to the mansion.

She was awakened by Tim who came to her immediately after he came back from school.

"Good evening, Ms. Vera!" He greeted her excitedly.

"Hey, you're back from school already?" Vera asked in confusion, then she saw the time.

"You must've slept all day for you not to keep track of time. Dad wants to take me and Bili out for a walk, he rarely does that so I want you to come with us!" Tim requested.

"Who is Bili?" Vera questioned, petting his hair.

"My puppy, a gift from my grandma!" He replied happily. "You're coming right?!" 

How will she break his heart by telling him that she's in pain and can't go? She smiled weakly at him and nodded. It might help her.

"Young man, you have to wait for me outside while I dress up," she said.
