David slowly nodded with a small frown and wondered why he was excited. "It will be done in a few weeks..." He trailed off as the guy suddenly laughed again. "W..What is wrong with you?"
"No.. Nothing__ hehe," Zach replied and shook his head with a chuckle. He glanced upstairs and eagerly turned to the assistant again. "David, can you do something for me please?" He asked expectantly after remembering what his brother had told him in City M before coming here.
David's frown deepened and he gave the guy a scrutinizing look. " Is it something dangerous?" he asked unhurriedly to make sure the crazy guy would not land him in any trouble.
" No, No... Of course not." Zach shook his head again with a chuckle then lowered his voice and started speaking.
"Huh?" David's expression brightened as he slowly listened to the guy's instructions. "Oh." He nodded in understanding after he was done and also laughed softly. It was a perfect plan and he instantly agreed to it.
After some time, they both glanced upstairs and quickly stood up while watching the doctors that were coming down with the other younger staffs..
The older man stopped in his steps and started talking before they could ask. "He's alright now and thankfully, his lost memories are also back." He beamed, knowing how hectic it was to help him recover those memories as the hypnosis was very strong, and added to the fact that his memory of that night was erased, there was only a slight chance that he would remember.
"Y..You mean, those memories are back? All of them?" Zach's eyes widened in excitement and the man nodded with a huge smile.
"That's great." He chuckled and patted the old man's shoulder. He couldn't wait to get a hold of that mysterious man. 'Hehehe.'
After the medical crew left, David sighed in relief and they both started walking upstairs.
When they entered the room, the man's expression was now calm as his eyes were still closed while he lay peacefully on the bed and even the devices were now detached from his body.
They both sat down quietly on the couch, knowing that he was now asleep and would wake up a few hours from now.

__ City H __
"Urgh!" Mira groaned as she sat up on the bed while rubbing her eyes. She glared at the door and sighed exasperatedly.
"Lily, why didn't you just move into his room. I'm tired of this for goodness sake," She snapped, after turning to the girl who had already taken a bath and dressed up, and was sitting in front of the mirror while staring down softly at the huge diamond ring on her finger.
Lily smiled softly at the furious girl and carefully stood up, after wrapping her hair in a ponytail.
She glanced at her sister who was still sleeping on the bed then walked toward the door and slowly opened it.
"Morning..." Jack beamed at the girl who was staring back at him with a small smile and he lowered his head then pecked her on the cheek.
Lily laughed softly and opened the door wide after greeting him back. "How's Mum doing?" She asked as he followed her back inside the room.
Jack was about to reply when a pillow suddenly came flying in their direction and it landed on his face. "Mira!?" He sighed exasperatedly after pulling Lily aside.
Mira rolled her eyes and scoffed at the guy who had been their morning alarm for the past week. It was a good thing that they were going back to City M today, otherwise, she wasn't sure if she could control her anger anymore.
"Urgh!... What's with the commotion? I'm trying to get some sleep for God's sake." Clara sat up on the bed dazedly then glanced at the guy who is now smiling back at her.
"Oh, it's you... Brother-in-law." Her eyes lit up and she hurriedly rubbed the sleep off her eyes.
Jack chuckled and greeted her "Good morning." which she quickly replied as Lily walked toward the closet to pull out their luggage.
Clara's expression turned sullen and she softly muttered, "Jack... How's your Mum? We're so sorry for playing that prank." She couldn't believe that playing the ghost prank would have so much effect on Jack's mother, as she had heard that the poor woman had not come back to her senses and Lily who had frequently gone to see her said that her condition was getting not getting any better.
Jack sighed heavily and sat down on the couch. "It's okay Clara. She's acting like this because of an incident that had happened in the past. She'll be fine in a few days... don't worry," he replied softly as his thoughts drifted to the words his mother had been muttering, then sighed again.
"Clara, can you please come and see her later? She's saying that the ghost belonged to someone that had already passed away in the family... If she sees you, maybe she'll feel better."
'Huh?' Clara frowned then quickly nodded. "Sure, sure... I'll see her later before we go back," she replied hurriedly and also sighed.
She also wondered if there's really a ghost in the mansion as she had also heard the servants mentioned many times that the head maid had fainted whenever they take a stroll outside.
"Thank you," Jack muttered then stood up with a smile and walked toward Lily who was carefully packing her books inside the luggage.
"So excited to go back?" He asked with a chuckle after wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
Lily slowly nodded with a chuckle. "School will resume in a few days and besides, we'll go back together," she replied softly while staring up at him with a wide smile.
She was very grateful that after the engagement, his parents had not rushed him about their marriage and had even urged her to finish school first.
Jack chuckled and slightly pinched her nose. "I guess you're not gonna have much time for me after school starts... I feel like keeping you here, or else you'll end up marrying your books instead of me," he muttered slowly with a pout and the girl laughed softly.
