Derek watched as the car zoomed past him and clenched his fists while wondering who the guy was and what was it to her. He quickly hailed a taxi and stared down at his wristwatch with a sigh.

Jack sighed and his eyes darted toward the girl who had laid her head sideways. He used one hand to support her head while the other one was on the stirring wheel.
After a while, he sensed her movement and stopped the car at the roadside. " What is wrong, Clara?" he asked softly while staring at the girl who had suddenly opened eyes.
" Jack, I want__" she covered her mouth and made a gagging sound. " I want to__".
His pupils instantly dilated and he dashed out of the car then went to her side and opened the door.
She came rushing out and squatted down then started vomit.
Jack chuckled and wondered what a weird drunkard she was. He also bent and started patting her back slightly.
" Water" he heard her say and quickly went back to the car then cursed while looking at the empty water holder. " Clara, wait for me, I'll get you water now. Don't go anywhere, okay?"
She slowly nodded while covering her mouth with one hand and he closed the door with a sigh of relief then strode toward a convenience store ahead.
" Jack, water," she muttered some minutes after he left and instantly covered her mouth then got out of the car and vomited again. Then she stood up and her eyes darted lazily around the empty street. " I should go back to the car," she muttered and started walking.

Meanwhile, at another end of the city.
" Big bro, how was it, what did the doctor say?" Zach glanced at his brother who was in the passenger's seat.
" Slow down, " Carl ordered and coldly glared at his brother who had been speeding the car on the empty street.
" Big bro answer me, what did he say? Is there any improvement,?" He asked after slowing down the car.
" No." Carl sighed and shook his head.
" But, Big bro, isn't there another way to remember?" He also sighed and wondered why his brother was so persistent to remember those memories. " and your sickness, can't you just go for full treatment like last time and stop taking drugs?"
" Shut up, " Carl muttered lazily while rubbing his forehead. As his brother had kept bombarding him with talks since they left the airport.
" Inform the men to begin the training soon." He said after some minutes and Zach sighed.
" Big bro, don't you think you are overthinking? I don't think they'll dare to attack us as we're__" he quickly stopped as his brother glared at him.
' Argh, this is frustrating.' Zach grimaced inside and remembered how deadly their last battle was, he had almost lost his life for god's sake. He was even surprised that his brother had sent all their private guards back to the basement to start training.
" Stop!!! " he was still in his thoughts when he suddenly heard his brother's voice.
" Big bro, what is going__ what!?" His eyes widened as he watched the figure in front of them.
" S..Sister-in-law!!!?" How did she suddenly appeared in front of them like a ghost? He watched in shock as his brother darted out of the car toward the girl.
Carl's eyes darted around the empty street with fright, then stopped in front of the girl who almost got hit by the car.
" What are you doing here, Clara?" He said anxiously and held her shoulders while looking for any sign of defect in her body. " Didn't I tell you not to go out?" He gazed into her drowsy eyes with a sigh of relief and wondered what she was doing alone in the empty street and also smelling of. . . ' alcohol?'
" Clara!?" His eyes widened at the girl who was staring at him stupidly. Just what did she do? He had asked the guards to go to the basement and informed her not to go anywhere, just how would he knock sense into her.
" Who are you, " she looked at him stupidly and held his collar. " let go of me, pervert. . ., help!!!"
Carl chuckled and looked down at her hand which was grasping tightly on his collar and wondered who the real pervert was. He effortlessly scooped her into his arms and went back to the car while she struggled violently.
Zach couldn't close his mouth as he watched everything that had unfolded. He watched as his brother put her on the back seat while sitting beside her and he quickly broke out of his trance and went inside the car happily.
" Sister-in-law, what are you doing outside here, where are you coming from?" Zach glanced back while driving. He was so happy to see her again after so many weeks.
" Who are you, " she frowned and stared at his back wearily.
" Hehe, of course, I'm your dear brother-in-law, " He replied happily but then frowned, didn't she remember who he was?
" Brother-in-law? When did I get married, and why didn't daddy invite me to my wedding?" She said with a pout and her expression turned gloomy. Then she glanced toward Carl.
" Is he my husband? When did we marry?" she pointed at him with a frown then Zach nodded.
" Yes, yes he's your husband. . .hehe" he found the whole situation amusing. Not expecting his sister-in-law could be so funny like this.
" haha, I forgot. Sister-in-law, you also have children, don't you remember?" He chuckled and glanced at his brother who was glaring at him through the rearview mirror.' hehe, I won't let this opportunity go.'
" Yes, yes I remember." She nodded her head frantically and both brothers stared at her in astonishment.
" Huh? You have children, " Zach frowned and asked the question for real.
" Yes, they're twins, driver," she said affirmatively and turned to Carl with a sweet smile. " Hubby, tell the driver to go faster, little Mia and Lea must be waiting, we need to bring them biscuits."
