"Save him! Please, save him." He begged his father and Shepard, his voice trembling in fright, panic and sadness.
The two adults looked at each other seriously before Shepard walked to Julius' body. He cautiously placed his hand above the boy's nose to check if he was still breathing. Then, he examined Julius' body before turning towards the crying Arun.
He shook his head, frowning so hard that his face was distorted in an ugly grimace. "Do you know how busy I am? I don't have time to waste!" He said, his voice filled with annoyance while glaring at Vikram.
He was the one who contacted him after Arun shockingly revealed that Julius was dying.
"Sorry, Director Shepard. We only wanted to save a student..." Vikram lowered his head, his voice carrying a slight trace of sadness. He wasn't too attached to the boy, but Julius was still his son's best and only friend.
