Chapter 28

She felt very guilty when she heard the woman's words. She is determined...

Dr. Caroline who at that time had been working at the hospital for a long time, Sarah Thompson was an internship student under her supervision. She didn't even know this was happening. Seeing Sarah's trembling body, her chest breathing heavily, her breathing records were also falling, she was very worried and before she had time to do anything, the ventilator beeped indicating that Sarah's breathing had stopped. The chest that was moving is now just stiff.

Nasogastric tube goes through her nose and into stomach; endotracheal tube goes through her mouth and into windpipe which is connected to machine ventilator is also removed.

The beautiful face was pale and just stiff like her soul already left her body.

Suddenly, Dr. Zhang pressed the chip that had been planted on the back of Sarah's neck. At first she was still lying stiffly, after waiting a few seconds full of seconds, the female doctor looked straight at him.

Sarah who was lying stiffly on the operating bed, now her eyes slowly opened, she sat on the bed looking around with a confused face.

The female doctor smiled happily and all the surgeons cheered with joy. She happy for another reasons but another doctor happy for their succession of this experiment.

Dr. Zhang also smiled when he saw that his experiment was successful today.

He walked towards the woman.

"Your name is Iris, a clone from my experiment."

Iris didn't answer and just stared at him with unblinking eyes.

"System activated, command received" A mechanical voice in her head spoke.

She who felt all of it felt her head hurt suddenly.

"Iris?" He said slowly and proud while looking at his creation.

"Yes. Your name is Iris"

"Clone?"

"Yes! You're a clone!"

Dr. Zhang replied proudly.

Suddenly the chain that was locked in Iris' hand broke. All of them who were watching with pride, are now in fear when the chain suddenly breaks. The previously blue iris is now turning red.

"Iris, you say?!"

She laughed out loud like crazy women and got up from the bed and walked towards all the surgeons.

One step Iris took towards them, one step they retreated. Iris with red eyes looked at doctors and the man in front of her.

"Old man, who are you? You seem arrogant when you talking to me earlier."

She said sarcastically as she reached for the scalpel that still had blood on it. She looked at the scalpel with interest, and suddenly she felt like testing the sharpness of the tool and began to slowly slice her palm. She cannot felt the pain when it slice deeper in her palm.

The female doctor who saw her behavior change 100% cried sadly, seeing the student who was once soft, intelligent and kind now turned heartless in front of her.

"No!" She said unconsciousness and shouted.

Iris who heard her cry looked at her with an emotionless and blank face. She started to change direction and walked towards the female doctor who was standing not far away, only her eyes could be seen because the rest were covered by the mask that was being used.

Dr. Zhang who was shaking with fear, where he stood, thought Dr. Caroline calls out to the crazy Iris to distract Iris from harming him. Iris, who was still holding the scalpel, asked the female doctor in front of her flatly. She looked into the green eyes, there was a pool of tears that almost fell down the woman's cheeks.

She felt something in her heart but a mechanical voice in her head erased the feeling without her knowing what it meant. "Who are you?"

She asked Dr. Caroline with emotionless tone and observed the women movement.

The surgeons who were there wanted to run but suddenly the lights in the room went out. Dr. Caroline who was in front of Iris was also shaking because of fear.

"People are stupid, even the dark is afraid." She said laughing happily.

"Dr. Caroline, kill her. Remove the chip embedded in the back of her neck." Dr. Zhang said from a distance. They were in the operating room in the dark.

"Kill?" Answered Iris representing the female doctor in front. She can see clearly even in the dark. One of the functions of the chip was to control her but the opposite is happening now.

"Is the chip malfunctioning?"Said one of the surgeons who were in the room at the time.

"Dr. Zhang please runs. I will distract her." explained Dr. Caroline and her eyes focus on Iris while she instructs Dr. Zhang.

Dr. Zhang felt Dr. Caroline is a loyal friend.

After giving the instructions, she continued to hug Iris with all her heart and Iris also at that time was on her knees.

Immediately after hearing the words of Dr. Caroline, Dr. Zhang and the others ran wildly in the darkness. They opened the door of the laboratory and ran out leaving only Dr. Caroline was the only one in operation room who was still hugging Iris tightly at that moment.

Iris who saw them running wanted to chase but the woman doctor's hug made her feel safe.

"Let me go, I'll kill them"

She said rudely to the female doctor who was in her 30s.

"I will save you."

That's all Dr. Caroline said to her in this moment.

"Please turn the lights back on" She said softly to Iris and she was still hugging the woman tightly. Iris also didn't know why she followed the instructions of the female doctor who was still hugging her now. Her blue eyes turned red, she looked at one of the lights above them, then at all the lights on the ceiling.

"My name is Caroline." She softly answered the question that Iris had been asking her for a long time.

"Caroline?"

"Yes. We've met before.

"I do not remember."

"It's okay. I'll help you. Now you help me fist okay."

"Helping you for what?"

Iris asked confused why these women suddenly question her. Does this Caroline thing she not capable?

"Please hit me with the scalpel, and then we'll go out, okay?

"Okay"

That was all she an answered she given to Dr. Caroline. She followed all the instructions given.

Iris could see the look on Caroline's face. She looked pale, scared and her hands were shaking. She wanted to laugh but when she heard the instructions given she began to comply.

Dr. Caroline took a slow breath and calmed herself down and just then she saw Iris's hand holding the scalpel swinging rapidly. Iris stabbed her stomach hard with the scarpel; it seemed to penetrate her epidemic skin.

The wound on her stomach started to feel painful and blood started to flow out. She tried to cover the wound with her palm but the blood continued to flow out profusely.

Iris just looked at her blankly. She did not know what Caroline feel now but from the expression, Caroline feel pains.

She led Iris's hand, they walked out of the lab 8, no one was aware of what happened at that moment. Iris who saw the blood coming out of the wound on Caroline's stomach took the white coat that was in the lab, and then she bandaged the wound slowly. Due to the bandage the blood does not come out and is absorbed by the relatively thick white coat.

They walked out to the parking lot, her hand still being led by Caroline.

"Where are we going" Iris asked her because she didn't know this place.

"We'll talk at home later, okay? We shouldn't talk here"

"Why not? I also want to know who I really am, I can't remember anything."

Once in front of her car Caroline unlocked the car, she opened the right door for Iris and asked her to enter. After Iris entered, she also walked a bit her lip slowly because her stomach was getting painful, she opened the driver seat door on the left and went in and closed the door behind her.

She groaned in pain as she bent her body to reduce the pain. She unzipped her handbag; her hand was shaking while holding her car key when she wanted to poke the key because her finger that was holding the car key shaking uncontrollably it fell to the floor.

Iris saw the car key fall and said while picking up the key that fell to the floor of the car. "Let me drive and you try to tell me where we're going. I mean the address" After saying that she adjusted Caroline's driver's seat back and there was a space there. Her position was now facing Caroline and without delay she continued to lift Caroline who was moaning in pain to the back seat. She placed Caroline in the back seat slowly.

"We go to Heaven 3 apartment". Caroline choked out each word, moaning in pain as she hugged herself.

Iris who was driving also felt annoying hearing her moaning in pain .She drove according to the map shown on the led screen in the car. It took almost 30 minutes to drive them to Heaven 3 Apartment. She parked the car in the parking lot and opened the back door to help Caroline.

"Room No. 21, 2nd floor" Caroline said slowly and stuttering. The wound of the scalper on her stomach felt painful as if it was being torn apart.

Iris nodded her head slowly and supported Caroline who was moaning in pain. She climbed the stairs to the 2nd floor and finally reached room no 21.

"What's your room password? I want to key in to the system so we don't have to wait a long time." She said flatly while still holding Caroline in her arms.

"023487" Caroline said as her voice cracked from crying.

Iris quickly pressed the password because she heard the sound of crying from Caroline. After the door was successfully opened she went inside carrying Caroline and placed her on the sofa.

"Please take the first aid box that is place on the shelf in the bathroom, the box is white"

Without much questioning, Iris continued to go to the bathroom shown by Caroline. She opened the bathroom door, it looked very clean, the floor was dry and the walls were white. The interior of the bathroom looks boring in Iris's eyes. She searched the shelves and finally found a First Aid box arranged on a shelf near the sink.

He took the box and brought it to the living room and placed it on the table opposite the sofa where Caroline was lying weakly. Caroline at that moment cried a little because of the pain. When she saw Iris carrying the first aid box she asked Iris to open it.

"Let me help you to clean the wound." She continued to unbutton Caroline's blouse one by one and her skin was white and flawless. Only now there was a small wound on the right side of her stomach.

Caroline just watched as Iris unbuttoned her shirt, she wiped her tears that flowed down her cheeks. This is the pain that Iris felt earlier, but Iris didn't cry like she did. The wound in Iris back neck is much deeper that her and also implanted with chips.

Yes. Chip. She must unactivate the chip so that Iris' memory can be restored. Her memory was not deleted, it was just blocked by Dr. Zhang. She hates seeing Dr. Zhang face. Dr. Zhang can give orders for Caroline to kill Iris. How many patients were killed because they were not successful? Dr. Zhang was not what she thought all this time.

Iris poured alcohol liquid on the surface of the cotton she was now holding, then washed the wound slowly. She used a lot of cotton to clean the wound. After that, she applied antiseptic to prevent infection. Her face was serious at that moment and Caroline who watched her movements was amazed and grateful that Iris still had a caring attitude. Iris took the bandage that was in the First Aid box and used it to wrap the scalpel puncture wound. Her dressing was very neat and she was careful. She didn't even know why she could do this.

"Okay, the dressing is done and your wound has also stopped bleeding." She told Caroline in a flat voice.

"Iris, can you sit down for a moment, I want to see the lump on the back of your neck?"

Iris looked at her in confusion but still she sat next to Caroline without questioning her purpose.
