Qin and Madison left the office under Gerard's pressure. After examining Ayla, Qin realized that she didn't hit her head but her back and passed out because of the shock.
He also stated that Ayla had more marks on her body that wasn't just from that incident and all those marks seemed even more severe than the one inflicted by Gerard.
These results caused Gerard to wonder what she could have been subjected to while in Salem. He wasn't sure if all the Qin's were as a result of her life in Salem or something else.
One thing was for sure, and that was the fact that he wanted to protect her more than ever and to do that, he wished to grant her her freedom so that she could be away from him until he figures out how to break the curse.
He planned to watch her every day and look after her from a distance but staying with her would only make things worse because he could be a greater danger to her.
He recalled what Madison said on the day they met at the park. Ayla has become like a drug that he is addicted to and staying away would be hard because the more he gets, the more he wants and yearns for her and this is only going to put her at risk.
Ayla was still resting on the bed when Gerard got a call from Isaac the doctor who had brought Ayla home the day she passed out in school. He walked to a corner of the room and answered the call.
"Um..." Gerard responded reluctantly after hearing Isaac's greeting from the other end.
"Mr Jarek, we haven't had time to conclude the meeting we had the last time. The results from the tests are completed." Isaac explained.
On the day that Isaac handed over his card to Gerard, Gerard went to his study first and wrote the number down before returning to the room where Ayla was.
After Ayla had gone to school on that day, he had a meeting with Isaac but he asked Isaac to run a few more tests before concluding.
Isaac complied and had a sample of her blood with him at the hospital. Also, Gerard asked him to look into something very important.
"And?" Gerard asked. There was silence across the phone for a while and after a few seconds of waiting, Isaac responded.
"It came out positive. Ayla is indeed a carrier. With these results, I suggest you look after her properly. She must eat and sleep properly. Also, she shouldn't go through any stress because healing would be a lot difficult for her than a non-carrier." Isaac explained and Gerard nodded.
"Um" after saying that, he ended the call and heard a voice which caused him to look up surprised.
"Why?" Ayla's weak voice rang in his ear like bells from a church.
Gerard panicked for a second and thought of what to tell her.
'Ayla, I should have told you this a long time ago but for selfish reasons, I didn't but I'll tell you everything now. The whole truth.'
Gerard was just about to speak when Ayla looked at him with a puzzled gaze. "Why... do you look like that?" she asked seeing his dark eye bags and his pale face. He looked so stressed and this was the first time she was seeing him this way.
Gerard sighed and walked to her bedside. She tried to sit up straight and he helped her adjust the pillow.
He sat by the bed but said nothing for a long time. Ayla noticed that something was troubling him and she hoped that he would tell her what it was this time around.
"What's the matter? What happened?" Ayla asked confused.
Gerard looked at her and realized something. She wasn't worried about what happened before she fell unconscious and that was strange.
"You don't remember do you?" Gerard asked looking at her quizzically.
Ayla blinked twice and couldn't understand what he was talking about. "What do you mean? Did something go wrong with your meeting? I didn't snore, did I?" she got worried that she ruined his meeting.
Gerard's brow furrowed. She didn't seem to remember what happened and he could think of only one person who could have done this.
"What happened?" She asked again and Gerard shook his head.
"It's nothing. You should rest a little more. I'll get you something to eat." he suggested and she obediently nodded.
Gerard excused himself from the room and because it was already dark outside, he zoomed off like the wind.
Qin had just finished from the hospital and was back home. He turned on the light and was startled to see Gerard seated on his sofa with an angry yet calm aura.
"Jeez, you scared the living hell out of me." Qin clenched his chest and beat it violently to calm his tensed nerves.

He dropped his suitcase on another sofa and sat. "What brings you here? Did she wake up already?" he asked.
Gerard didn't answer his question but rather responded with a question. "Why." his voice was cold and his aura grew stronger. He was controlling himself because he didn't want to take a drastic step.
Qin had ruined his chances of telling Ayla the truth by erasing her memory. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for him to clear the air yet Qin messed it up with this silly mistake.
Qin sighed seeing Gerard tightening his grip on the armrest. He casually responded to Gerard knowing full well what this was about.
"Would you rather she hated you for the rest of her life?" he asked back and Gerard yelled at him.
"That is not for you to decide! What I do with my life is my business!" his gaze turned red showing that all the anger built up inside him was going to surface anytime soon.
Qin was the least bothered about what Gerard could end up doing. He stood from where he sat and walked to the small bar where he kept his wines.
He turned a red wine into two cups and walked back then put one on the table and pushed it towards Gerard.
He sat with the second glass in his hand. "Gerard, you may think I did this for you but you are mistaken. I did this for her."
Gerard looked at him quizzically. How can he sit there and like conveniently?
"Ayla is fragile and finding out this way would only traumatize her. You should tell her in your own time but you shouldn't waste any more time because it's better to know the truth than live a life of lies. If she truly loves you, she might understand." Qin explained and Gerard's grip on the armrest softened.
Any hand who saw his true nature would surely be traumatized or even end up in the psychiatric hospital. Maybe it was better this way. All he needs to do now is wait till she felt better, then he would tell her everything. He wouldn't hide anything away from her anymore.
"You should go now. I'm sure she would be looking for you already." Qin suggested and Gerard squinted his brow and went away.
Qin sighed seeing the wine still on the table. He turned the content into his glass and laid back to enjoy the sour taste.
Gerard stopped by Cold Stone Creamery and got some ice cream. He wasn't sure why but he wanted to give her these.
Soon, he got to the office and went to the room. There, he couldn't find Ayla on the bed but could hear the water from the shower running.
He dropped the ice cream and porridge he had gotten on a table close to the bed and sat patiently for her to finish.
Not too long after, he heard the door crack open and he saw a pair of white legs walk out.
Ayla was wearing Gerard's shirt which she found in the room. It was more like a short gown rather than a shirt.
She saw Gerard and froze for a second. A beautiful smile appeared on her face and Gerard was speechless for a second.
"Your back." she happily walked up to him with her hair still wet and sat by his side.
She saw the package on the table and for sure, she recognized the branded package.
Her eyes widened and she happily reached for it. "You bought Cold Stone Creamery for me?" she looked at Gerard as though he was an angel.
He nodded seeing how happy she was and took the package from her. "Let me," he suggested and she handed it over.
He opened the ice cream and handed her a scooper and whips. She was ecstatic and didn't even look at him again.
"I'll keep the rest in the fridge so it won't defrost," he suggested and she nodded with a smile still savouring the taste of the sumptuous ice cream.
Gerard's lips curved up slightly seeing her like that and put the rest in the fridge.
He got a beep from his phone and when he looked at it, there were several messages from Diana that he had ignored.
'Brother, it's very important. We have to meet.' he sighed and replied.
"Tomorrow, at home, 9:00 am."
