Somehow, they could relate to Drystan. They were all concerned for her. However, they needed to be strong for their brother-in-law. Achlys sat on the far side of the couch. He then noticed that Franzlie’s phone was ringing incessantly. He glanced at the screen and saw that Macy and Malik had been calling repeatedly.He knew that they were calling to inform her about work matters and they didn't even know that something bad happened to her.

“Llyr, do you have the number of Macy and Malik?” 

Achlys asked his brother. Llyr and the rest of the family look at him. Arthur on the other hand takes out his phone and gives it to Achlys.

“Here, make a call from my phone and all of you should have their numbers as well.” 

With a gloomy instinct Arthur feels the calls. Achlys dialed Malik’s number. 

“Malik, is there something that Franzlie needs to know? If that’s business you can tell me and I’ll convey it to her. She’s not feeling well right now.”  

A straightforward talk to Malik. On the other end Malik sighs. He could feel that something was wrong.   

“I know she doesn’t feel well now and something happened to her. Even if you conceal that she’s resting, I will not buy it. Franzlie faints earlier tonight, right?”

Malik answered Achlys in a nice manner. He on the other end is monitoring the screen of the health condition of Franzlie. 

“Yes, you are right that she fainted earlier but I’m kinda confused right now that you know it even if you're not around my sister. Don’t tell me you’re spying on her?” 

Achlys knitted his brows with concussion. Malik sighed at his end. He prepares butterfly needles . Three vials and needles for injections and a liter of IV. Malik puts all the  medication in a backpack, he picks up the keys to his bike and his phone. He leaves the room.

“I will come to the villa Achlys kindly inform your father and her fiancé.”  

Achlys is dumbfounded at what Malik said to him. Arthur just waves his hand however Drystan is being puzzled to Achlys conversation to a guy named Malik. There’s a pricking pain of jealousy that he feels. Why is there a man that knows what happened to his fiancée when it’s not even around her? What if the man is a killer? If he is a killer, he could be the one who killed someone else and that could be Malik. He is not sure if Malik is a killer or not but he can feel his blood boiling.He feels very confused and anxious. He wonders what is  happening. 

“Brother-in-law, Malik is a subordinate of my sister. He’s a brother to her too. Since we haven't been around for her for ten years. He’s the one that fills the void for us. I can tell you feel inferior to Malik, you should let it slide. You will meet him tonight. And I guarantee you that you will thank him too.”   

Xanth explains to console his brother-in-law. Although Drystan feels doubt about what Xanth has stated. Yet, he nods his head. Within thirty minutes of driving Malik reaches the villa and parks his bike near the gate. He pushed the doorbell and it was Rhory that came to open him.

“Hey, good evening and  pardon me for intruding on this late at night. I just need to see Franzlie’s condition so I can determine what medicine to give her. Perhaps you can accompany me to her room so I can take my assessment with her. I am Malik by the way, Franzlie’s subordinate and I am a doctor but I don’t practice medicine. Since I work for Franzlie.”

Malik lends his hand to Drystan since he's the newest face in the room. 

“You are Franzlie’s fiance, if I’m not mistaken. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Please don’t get mistaken about me  being her  subordinate. I’m just doing my job for her and I’ve known her for a long time.” 

Malik states his predicament to Franzlie’s fiance. Drystan shakes Malik's hand and smiles weakly. He nods his head allowing Malik to follow him. As they walk to the hallway till they ascend the staircase, Malik observes Drystan silently. They reach the room and Drystan opens the door to let Malik in. The moment that Drystan is about to leave the room Malik stops him.

“Please don’t go stay here. I need a hand and you can call Sir Arthur and the rest of her siblings here. I do understand your predicament, but Franzlie is always so careful and we have to be careful of her condition right now.”

Malik said quietly as he looked at Drystan. Drystan nods his head and complies with what Malik has said. He took his phone and dialed Arthur’s number.

“Papa, please come to Franzlie's bedroom.” 

His voice sounded stern. Franzlie’s old man signals his sons to follow him as they trailed to his daughter’s room. As they reach her room. Franzlie is lying on bed and is in a state of coma . The old man looks at Franzlie  as he sits on the bed.  

Arthur sobs on Farnzlie’s hand as he holds it. He then looks at face as he sees his daughter is in a state of coma. He looks at Malik that stares at him. 

“What are you going to do with my daughter? My doctor said she just needs rest and then she will be fine. She is exhausted from the things she has been through.” 

A few words that Artur said as his voice trembles in sorrow. Malik smiled and took out all the things that were in his bag. He gazed at the headboard and tilted his head. 

“Uhmm, do you have any long stick or tubular poles that I can use for the IV?  I guess two or three feet long and a mount hook to attach it to the pole. Warm water is needed too.” 

Malik said all the things he needs for the IV.  He prepares the IV while they are looking for the stick and the hook for the IV. Malik took out a few vials and syringes. He takes time to shake it before he puts it on the syringe. The last piece that he let out to his bag is a bottle of pills. He put it aside on the bedside table. 

“Are you sure that all this is needed by my daughter? Those vials and syringes are too much. I don’t think my daughter’s frail body will take all this medicine.” 

Arthur worried, shaking  his head, staring at Malik and back to his eldest Achlys. Malik on the other hand knows what Arthu’s concern. He smiles and slips his hand to his pocket.

“Seriously Sir Arthur, your daughter is stubborn as hell. I asked her before to tell you what she is going through and she just refused to talk about it. She is a good daughter to you. She loves you that much that she doesn’t want you to worry about her illness. And yes, Franzlie is ill. The thing about her illness is unknown, that's why she hired me.”

“When she hired me I studied all her files and she underwent a series of tests and scans. Up till now I still don’t have any idea what her rare disease is. All I know is that all this medicine in front of you is what she needs to survive. Now, if you’re going to allow me to do this, I will carry on. However, if you decline not to treat her, it's all up to you.” 

Malik expresses himself freely yet with concern to his boss. He steps aside and pauses for a while. Franzlie’s siblings came and gave the remaining tools to complete the paraphernalias to create a makeshift IV stand drip . It took a minute or two to create it and he hung the IV, inserted the hose while he waited for him to resume it completely.  Achlys stares at his father back to his brother-in-law. Arthur sighed and nodded his head. 

In a span of seconds Malik doesn't waste time and begins to insert a suture to the right hand of Franzlie. Then after he adjusted the small tubes, he glanced at his watch while watching the fast drip of the IV. Next is, Malik injected the medicine in one of the tubes of the IV. He exhales all his stress after he has done all the procedures. 

“”Sir Arthur, I guess you have something for Franzlie later to feed. In a matter of an hour or more she will be awake and she will ask for any food to eat. This happened in the past. That's why as her doctor and subordinate I want my boss to pass through this.” 

Malik states nicely and warmly, he wipes his sweat on his face. And take a step back after he treats Franzlie. Hours passed Franzlie’s hand moved slowly and reached her father’s hand. Arthur feels something that touches him. He looks at her daughter and he sees a weak smile on her face. 

“FRANZLIEEE!!!!!” 

“Thank God you’re awake now.” 

Her old man kissed her forehead and hugged her. All of her siblings are sniffing at the corner. They can’t help it that their tears roll down while they are worried about their only sister. Even Drystan breaks down seeing that she’s awake. He feels an overwhelming joy and relief. 

“You are such a badass lassie that I’ve known my whole life. I told you that you can’t ever hide this scenario to your family but you are hard headed as a bull yourself. Nevertheless, welcome back, Miss Franz.”

Malik tilted his head down greeting her precious boss. Franzlie smiled at him weakly and rested her head on her father.
