As a test subject of the clinical trial, Cole was at the center of it all.
Samuel would surely see that and find out where we were.
But that did not matter anymore. What was important was Cole’s health.
I rented a two–bedroom apartment with the money the director had paid us and moved in.
Neither Cole nor I had much luggage. We went overseas with nothing much and returned with nothing much as well.
If I had to be exact, I did bring back something. I brought back a healthy Cole.
At exactly 12:00 p.m. UTC, the vaccine was revealed to the public.
Once the media found out that Cole was the test subject, they started digging around for more information on him.
I had not expected that the first person to find us would be Samuel.
When I came back home from buying some groceries with Cole at night, I found Samuel standing in front of the door. I instinctively stopped.
Cole noticed my reaction and looked around in confusion to find out what was wrong.
The moment he saw the person at the door, he immediately stood in front of me like a shield.
Samuel ignored Cole and just stared at me.
“You’re not welcome here. Leave!” Cole snapped at Samuel
Samuel finally looked at Cole.
“You look much healthier. Looks like the vaccine really worked,” Samuel said.
Cole scoffed. “That’s none of your business!”
Samuel snorted. “How do you think you were able to survive until the vaccine came out?”
Cole deflated at that, but he shielded me behind him so that I would not get hurt.
I patted Cole’s shoulder. “I’m fine. Head in first.”
Cole gave me an uncertain look. After I gave
him a
firm nod, he left
reluctantly.
