That was the most outrageous request I have ever heard in my lifetime.
Mr. Parker and my uncle refused to obey at first, because they knew my life was in danger, but people had already surrounded the entrance of the VIP ward!
The good news was that we were surely and thoroughly secured, but they were trying to create a breach in the security system of the hospital by force, even though they (my uncle and Mr. Parker) were under pressure, yet draining me of my blood meant my death. My uncle was not ready to lose me, he wasn’t to break the promise he made to my father, and I think he refused to get married, so that he could have more time to take care of me and give me the attention and care I needed.
The people were trying to break through the security system and the life of everyone would not be safe, especially I and the president, if they succeeded in their rampage. The bitter truth was that the people were taking desperate measures in order to get a prompt solution to their life and death situation. The people outside were behaving like mad people to me, then there was a spark in the mind of the Calisthenian president.
The president suddenly brought up another proposal, he would ensure my uncle becomes the president of Sosthenes plus the three of them would really gain a lot from the sales of my blood, and the cure of the Ilsviper disease could make Sosthenes and Calisthenes become the two greatest world powers.
He persuaded my uncle to make me a heroine and a legendary figure of my time, he was obviously appealing to the egoistic side of my uncle. What he meant was, I should sacrifice my life for the people, because draining my blood meant my demise, and my uncle agreed to this proposal with sadness, though I was an atheist because my uncle was also an atheist, yet I had some sort of faith in God, and I also believed that my uncle was right in whatever he did, but… so… even though I did not hate God, yet I did not believe in God because I had faith in my uncle. And he was now leaving my faith in him on the brink of collapse.
Mr. Parker spoke up to the unhappy and seemingly angry crowd through a high-powered live transmission system.
“Please, be calm!” Mr. Parker shouted to the raging people. And there was great quietness amongst them almost immediately after he uttered that statement.
At the time he had started the visual live transmission, the doctors had already started transfusing out my blood into pints. The point of visual transmission was suddenly focused on me, I think it was done to make the raging people outside have a change of heart, and it worked! That is, if the staff outside the VIP ward at that time told me the truth when they narrated their own experience of this incidence.
Mr. Parker did not drain me out completely, he thought that I could survive with the little I had left, my blood which were in pints were transferred into some injection syringes.
My uncle rushed to my side crying, the best he could do (I guess) was sympathise with me. As he was… mourning? He noticed my heartbeat, he made a stupid guess, which is, ‘my blood was regenerating itself rapidly!’ I think that was a very stupid idea! But he happily broke the news to Mr. Parker anyway,
“Mr. Parker! I think my niece has regeneration abilities! Her heart is still functioning properly! My uncle broke the news to him in a very happy way.
Mr. Parker also had a good news to inform my uncle, both of them were with the president at this time.
“Stanley, guess what? While I was working with Mr. President in overseeing the distribution of the injections, a cured patient told me of the use of genetic engineering to clone blood, and I did not even think of it until he said it, can you see what I see?” Mr. Parker responded with a lot of enthusiasm.
“Yeah! We have to do something… uh!” My uncle responded thoughtfully.
The three men quickly began to take drastic actions immediately.
Mr. Parker and my uncle quickly worked hard to resuscitate me, while the president of Calisthenes supervised the cloning of my blood and the distribution of it, and my cloned blood actually worked, it cured the disease.
My uncle and Mr. Parker were also able to revive me back to life fully, the president sought to turn my cloned blood to drugs, but Mr. Parker and my uncle opposed the idea, so my blood was sold only as blood transfusions and injections, and soon enough, the cases of the Ilsviper disease dropped drastically. And that was how I escaped the jaws of death once again.
My uncle soon became the president after the then-president of Sosthenes relinquished his power after some meetings held in the city of the Western Sun. My uncle was a good president, and he ruled Sosthenes well. As for the president of Calisthenes, he consolidated and established his rule in Calisthenes.
Soon enough, both he and my uncle became dictators. Europe also became a world power due to the fact that the cure and immunization of the Ilsviper disease was found in Europe.
