Chapter 191 - 93: The Spy

The doctor was startled by Simone's question, he just gapes at Simone like a child who was caught doing something wrong.

Simone stared at the doctor as she don't know what to say next, the doctor looks like, he was about to collapse from guilt because he was caught studying the house like a thief.

Simone: ah, I'm sorry doctor, I startle you, Simone apologizes to the doctor upon seeing his pale face. She was worried that the doctor may have a heart disorder and will eventually have a heart attack.

The doctor shook his head, smiling awkwardly at Simone.

Doctor Marquez: No, it's I who should apologize, we were chatting, and yet, here I am admiring the house, not listening to what you are saying. I am sorry for that, pardon me for I am used to being alone that sometimes I tend to ignore the people around me. Besides, you are right when you ask me if I am looking for something.

Simone: what do you mean? Doctor? Simone asks surprised to hear the doctor's words.

Doctor Marquez: What I mean is I am really looking for something. I noticed that this house is very big, a house this big is supposed to have had a rooftop for a chopper to land. Yesterday we landed right outside the house, it is understandable because the plane carrier is too big to land on the rooftop. But since that, this is an island I think having a chopper and a landing field is a necessity. As I can see, there are no stairs that will lead to a rooftop landing pad, so I assume that there is no landing pad at the rooftop.

You are right about that doctor, Morgana interjected as she heard the doctor's statement the moment that she walked out from the kitchen.

Doctor Marquez: ah, you're done eating??? I'm sorry if I'm being too nosy, it's just that, this house and this island caught my interest the moment we walked out from the plane yesterday. I find this place suitable for a big laboratory. That's why I am looking for a helicopter landing pad on the rooftop.

Morgana: We don't have a landing pad or a rooftop cause I find it unnecessary. The helicopter and the plane carrier can always land right outside the house. Furthermore, we don't have a car here because this is a private island and the only buildings you can find here is this house and the cabin. You can only leave this island by plane, the one that we use yesterday. Or by helicopter. As for the carrier plane, if you are curious because you didn't see it outside..... I have a special place for it. Morgana explained while studying the doctor's reaction.

Doctor Marquez: ah, now I understand why I didn't see it outside. Anyway, the real reason why I came here is that I want to talk to you about the formula for the antidote. You see... Doctor Bonjovich and I are best of friends. He told me about the antidote and the formula, I was the one who helped him escape that night. I don't know if someone knows about it and his plan to escape, but I am sure that Doctor Bonjovich didn't tell anyone about it, except me.

I am old, just like my friend doctor Bonjovich. I have no other family, that was the reason why I want to adopt Eric, but since you rejected my offer..... I respect it. Now, I only want to ask you if I could remain here, I see that you have a laboratory there at the cabin. You also have some medicinal herbs planted near the creek, I assume that you know something about alchemy??? Well... Like doctor Bonjovich I have a little bit of knowledge about alchemy but I am not as good as him. If you could let me, I am willing to pay rent. You don't have to worry about me, I won't disturb you and your family, I will only stay in the cabin. Doctor Marquez explained elaborately.

Morgana: You want to remain on this island even if the problem with the virus is gone???

Doctor Marquez: Yes... yes... I do, I want to stay here and try to research for the virus antidote. Even if the problem with the virus is gone, we can't be too sure that a problem like this won't happen in the future. We need to be prepared so that if it happens again we already have a cure for it.

I know that you are aware of the viruses character, Sars and the other viruses that were released before the N- COV has the same characters but different symptoms but it all targeted the weakest part of our organs, the lungs. All viruses often plagued the lungs and started as a pulmonary symptoms. It is because we caught the virus by inhaling the air with droplets of unseen particles of the virus from the infected person. It is very deadly, but if we are prepared things like this won't happen again. Please let me stay..... I am willing to pay the rent. Doctor Marquez beg Morgana

Morgana stared at the doctor, pondering about the words he just said. Simone beside her was also surprised about the doctor's proposal, she didn't expect that the doctor came here just to ask Morgana to let him stay on the island

Behind the door in the kitchen, Morgana's sister and the others were eavesdropping on their conversation, David was also surprised to hear the doctor's proposal. He didn't expect the doctor to actually like the place and he actually begs Morgana to let him stay.

David pondered about the doctor's intentions, he couldn't think of a reason why the doctor will unexpectedly asks to remain in the island. If the doctor is sincere with his intention to rent and stay in the island to study the virus and to find a cure, then it is possible that Doctor Marquez is not the spy.
