Chapter 28 - Chapter-28

Continuously for two days, they fed Saeng three times a day and also treated her wounds.

They all were praying for her to wake up, they were extremely worried about her.

Then on the third day, Saeng felt something inside her rushing, she felt better, and she felt warmth spread inside her body, she then opened her eyes slowly.

Then her eyes adjusted to the sudden light, she raised her body upward and felt just a little bit of pain but it was better than before.

She looks around and realizes that she was again in her room, she felt doubt creep into her head, that she was still trapped there, but she noticed that she is not tied.

She then stood up and walked towards the mirror, and looked at her reflection.

She observed her whole body, and she noticed something different in her skin as her skin looked pale white but had a rosy hue at some places in her body, her black patches healed and her cheeks had a rosy hue to them, her eyes are glowing.

She felt energetic and had many emotions that she had never known in the past but now she has the chance, she felt a smile spread wide on her face.

She felt beautiful, alive, and vibrant. She hurries out of her room and ran into the hall room, where U-ram was no more trapped.

He was free but sitting far away from them, Mi-Ok sitting with her brother and Yeong's mom making web clothes and making her son wear those clothes.

Saeng then remembers U-ram's confession, she felt that she need to apologize as she did hurt him, but that doesn't justify his actions still she needs to do her thing.

Saeng walks forward, and they noticed her presence, their expression turned into joy and U-ram looked happy too but had guilt and pain in his eyes, she saw that same expression as when she rejected him.

Si-U looks at her in awe, she felt nervous at his gaze, which she never felt until now.

She then arranged her emotions and walks slowly towards U-ram and suddenly hugs him, his eyes widen in shock, they all were confused and shocked by her action.

She speaks in a soft tone, " I should have apologized to you at that time when I harshly broke your heart's feelings but I wasn't aware of the intense effect of it on your heart because of my response.

Still, my answer would have been the same, you should be grateful that I rejected your proposal in childhood, otherwise you wouldn't have found your sweet woman.

I rejected you because I was emotionless and it was since my birth due to some inactivated gene inside my body, and I could never return your feelings, so I thought it was useless to form a relationship.

I am sorry for the pain but not for rejecting you. But that doesn't give you any right to go this low and hunt me like some predator, your vengeful guilt made you a beast, who was blind in hunger for his revenge ".

U-ram started sobbing, and tightly hugs back, he then expressed to her, " I have done an irreversible action, which has hurt you the most.

You were always blunt, and I was just twisted in my buried guilt and grudge, which awakened the monster in me.

I lost my love and warmth in that, and even If apologize, it wouldn't be enough for you to forgive me, still, I am sorry for everything I did.

Please at least give me a chance to pay for my actions and a chance to earn all your trust again".

Saeng hums and then stepped back and hugs Mi-Ok, then Yeong, and also Si-U.

She announces, " We will fix this solution together and also show and make people realize that no one is superior and we humans and animals are made of same heart, we are all same.

After that, I will surrender myself to the Korean government for my actions and U-ram also needs to surrender himself for his doings, which will be justice and fairness for all ".

They all agreed, they knew that decision was hard and painful for them but it was fair and justified.

Saeng then asks them, " Do you see anything new in me? ".

She looked at them with curiosity and a kind of excitement hidden in her eyes, Mi-Ok then raised her tail and pointed her tail towards her hands and then pointed at her cheeks, and said, " Your paleness is the same but.., there is rosy hue at your elbows, knees, and cheeks.

Your eyes now shine more with emotions, which was quite rare in the past times, looks like something changed within you ".

Yeong's mom agreed with Mi-Ok, and said, " You look the same beautiful as you were before but now, you look livelier and alive ".

Yeong hopped onto Saeng's arm and she caught him in her arms.

Yeong says, " You look lovely as same before, it was just hidden as I knew my teacher is unique in beauty too. She is the best for me".

She smiled, her cheeks bringing out the rosy hue more prominent, then he exclaims, " Teacher, your smile is the best. Pretty smile".

She giggled and cuddled him close and rubbed her cheeks against his soft fur cheeks affectionately, they hear the click sound of a camera, then they looked forward and saw Yeong's mom click a photo of them, then Mi-Ok joined beside Saeng, then Si-U and U-ram stood beside Mi-Ok, then she clicked a photo of them.

Mi-Ok asked Yeong's mom to join and U-ram will click a photo of them.

U-ram agreed and Yeong's mom stood beside Si-U, then he clicked a photo.

The moment was bliss but only for seconds, then Saeng's expression turned from a happy to a serious face, which Mi-Ok noticed.

She patted her shoulder with her tail and Saeng turned towards her, her best friend mouthed everything will be fine. We will make it alive. 'Hwaiting'. Saeng nods slightly.

Then Saeng clears her throat and called for everyone's attention and told them, " I need to return to that lab so that I can try to fix this.

This can take weeks or months, but I will try to find the solution fast.

But I have to do this alone, as it needs a lot of concentration and focus, so I will stay there and no one can come there, and I am serious.

I might be a little different than before, but my work ethic is still the same. Not even you, Yeong".

All of them smiled at her, but still as she said something sweet, they agreed, so she hummed.

Then Saeng asks U-ram, "Why did you stop suddenly when you saw that metal box, do you remember that? ".

U-ram nods, Mi-Ok looked puzzled and asked, " Which metal box? ", then U-ram replied," The same box, which I gave her on her birthday when we were in primary elementary school.

I brought it, especially by requesting mom for thousands of times to buy that box as I knew that she loves these kinds of things.

The metal box had some weird pattern on the inside and I also carved it by scrapping it upon the metal surface with a needle, carving my name, then I gave it to her.

So, when I saw that I remembered the moment I met her and the times we all spent together and also how she stared at my gift for more than one minute, which I thought, maybe she liked it.

I felt happy at that time, it made it worth it for her".

Saeng said," I did get habituated it to the most and it has my precious memories stored in. Where is it?".

U-ram replied that the same place where it was.

Si-U speaks in a slightly teasing tone to U-ram, " You are brave to approach her in her childhood time and lucky too, to have a chance to able to be friends with her and also the only boy she ever interacted with until now, as she has me as a friend too, right, Saeng-a?".

Saeng says, " Yes, of course, you are my friend". Si-U asks hesitantly," only friend ? ".

Saeng says, " No, you are my best friend from now on but your sister will always be the dearest to me".

Si-U nodded sadly, U-ram then pats his shoulder and whispered in his ears, " It is okay, you can try next time, to know her feelings about you. But you do love her right?". Si-U nodded yes.

Saeng advises, " Stay safely in this house together until I come back. No one will try to come there. I would be quite annoyed at this and might scold also".

They agreed by nodding their heads, Yeong's mom asked her to take food items at least for some days on the way to that building. She hummed yes.

She then went to her bedroom and packed her essential things like documents, papers, books, also laptop and some dresses and hygienic items, and that metal box and then she also took out the snack items inside one of the bed drawers and then walked into the kitchen and put them into metal storage containers.

Then she kept it on the top of the refrigerator, and then she greeted goodbyes, and then she asked Si-U to give the number of his friends. He sent the numbers via message.

Then she went out of the building, then she walked at a fast pace, she looked either way as she needs to be alert at least.

She then reached Sky road, where her most frequently visited bakery was closed like everything right now in the city because of her.

She then saw a mart, it was closed though, but she have money with her, she will leave it inside the reception drawer with a note.

She, then noticed that it was impossible to get inside from the front side, so she went to the backside of the shop and found a door, which was locked though.

But, she needs to unlock it, she tried to open it with a needle or hairpins, but it was quite hard, then suddenly she heard someone coming near her, she froze and puts her hand inside the handbag and slowly took out the scalpel that she brought.

She then turned instant, and when she saw that no one was there, she turned back and found a cat who was standing upon a raccoon, and that cat was using his sharp pointed claws inside the lock and twisting to unlock it maybe.

She then observed that it was the same cat, she found in that cloth store and that raccoon is his mother, so that means, they are safe and alive.

The door opened, and Saeng smiled at them and politely bowed for helping her, the raccoon lady said, " When we saw someone walking on the sky road, we thought of alerting that human, so we followed you.

But when we came closer, we knew it was you and we saw you trying to open the door, so we came to help you for helping us at that time".

Then they ran away after that. Then she grabbed necessary instant food packaged items and some drinks, then paid the cash and kept it inside the bill counter drawer with a note.

Then she walked out of the mart and closed with a huge thud sound.

She then started walking faster as the sun was setting, and the evening was setting in, she reached that building after walking for 30 minutes.

She then unlocked the lock at the entrance and then went inside, then went to the basement and covered the door space with a large wooden board.

She then walks upstairs and observes that the lab room door was heavily damaged and broken, she needs to fix it after fixing all this.

She then walked into her lab room and kept aside her handbag upon the stretcher and then she cleaned the room and picked up all her scattered documents and articles and other items, she then also rearranged the position of the instruments.

Then she grabbed some books from her bookshelf attached to the wall, she then picks up one bundle of documents and kept it on her study table.

Then she started researching and reviewing and reading through each page and each document thoroughly, simultaneously she also noted and wrote down some points, statements, possibilities, mathematical annotations, and also necessary points.

She also drew some drawing structures of normal and transformed living beings, and also wrote gene sequences, and patterns, and also analyzing her experiment's success and failure and errors.

She works continuously for 5 hours without taking any breaks, then she finished reviewing one bundle, and then she also collected some review articles, information, and research papers from the internet, she then took out print out of those materials.

She took a break of 30 minutes. She ate some cookies and drank a soft drink, and then listened to some old Korean songs.

Then after 50 minutes, she resumed her work, reviewed, and analyzed another bundle along with another set of books present there, then night came, but still, she didn't find any important information, which can help her solve this situation, to remain patient and calm.

Then another day, she continued to work like yesterday, like this, three days, passed.

She did collect some key points and statements and hints but still, she didn't know how to fix the situation, she did many experiments and tested many chemical combinations, then inserted them inside the instrument, which was quite expensive as it can develop some like model animal simulator, which can give you almost all reaction and result by just collection of some part of a living being, which she collected as a veteran doctor.

She didn't throw the hair strands, which she used to collect when an animal patient was brought into her clinic, she knew that it is not legal but she didn't have any choice, she also used to visit Upo Marshland as she used to collect the petals of some rare flower beneficial species and also used to search every corner of that place every week to collect any trace of animals, even tiny traces could help her and it did.

She collected more than 500 traces of animal species, which helped her carry out this experiment.

Now back to the present, she continued working for a week, she isolated herself from her phone, and she only checked when she needed to search for something.

After two weeks, one day she finally found one big hint or answer, but it was not alone enough to fix this. But still, it was progress for her.

Then after three weeks, she finally found all the answers she needed and she also found the error. But this experiment was irreversible as well. Which was good, she guessed for everyone.

She then did an experiment and also checked all the points and effects of the experiment, she checked many times, and she also observed its long-term effects by that instrument, she set the time for more than 50 years, and it showed no problem, but there were some minimum side effects like pain or normal fever for some days but after that it becomes normal.

She then again rechecked and reviewed her experiment and results and found it all good enough.

She smiled and laughed, that finally, she succeeded in making the solution, she just needs now a public conference, volunteers, and some big vehicle.
