Chapter 19

Leo's POV
I have to be good at hiding myself from her. Before she finally reveals everything. I must not be caught off guard until she is able to read my movements.
"Doctor Leo, why are you silent?"
"Huh? Oh no, I was just thinking about what if the final result is that we fail?" I started to suggest bad things to her so that her performance would decrease.
"Hey, don't say things like that, it's not good. We have to stay optimistic and be able to reveal everything. For that, let's increase our efforts so that we can produce results that are following our expectations and satisfactory."
"Um, I hope so too." Although in my heart said otherwise.
"Um, okay, that's good, stay enthusiastic!"
A few moments later, Doctor Ismaya approached Doctor Zara and said that the number of patients today had increased again. Finally, Doctor Zara excused herself from me and started examining the patients who were now queuing.
I also thought that apart from Zara, I also had to get an ovum from Ismaya. My thoughts became even wilder. I went out of the room for a moment and started to look at the queue of patients, which was now getting longer. It's no wonder this happened because last night my group and I were in action. Then we got a lot of victims last night. Although I failed to put the hormone fluid into Zara's mouth. But at least I got more ovum from other women.
I smiled faintly, but suddenly, Karel surprised me.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" While watching my gaze.
"Oh, you're looking at the queue, I wonder why there are more and more patients with the same complaints. In fact, the number is increasing every day."
Without further ado, I left him alone and he was still frozen standing there. I went back into the room and made sure that Noe and Briant would be able to work well. Noe is the figure I recommended to Zara as the leader of the gynecology experts. Here is Briant, he is the figure I recommended to Zara as the leader of the nutrition experts. I hope they can work optimally by manipulating the research results so that it is not known that we are cheating. I also started contacting them by phone. To make sure that tonight we have to hold a closed meeting.
After calling them both, I started to think about something else. Suddenly I remembered the human figures named Orion and Julian. Especially Julian started to become dangerous for me and the other aliens. I think he is a journalist who is skilled at finding data and information. So I have to stay alert to his movements. There must be one alien who is female. Yes, I have to tell her to deceive in the field. So that she gives false testimony so that the information starts to become plural and confusing. Of course, I will tell my sister, Hira, to do it.
For a moment I thought about this important thing. Again and again, Karel bothered me. Hmmm, this stupid human is often very annoying. He really always messes up my thoughts by suddenly appearing and surprising me. Then he makes useless chatter.
"Hey, you're daydreaming again and again."
"Hmm..." Obviously, I felt disturbed by his arrival.
"What are you doing? Why have you been daydreaming all this time? Are you thinking about the number of patients from that strange phenomenon? Or.... Emm... Oh yeah... maybe... You..."
"What is it?" I waved his hand that was pointing at my face.
"Don't tell me you... Yes, I think you're falling in love with Doctor Zara."
I was shocked and automatically turned to him without being able to say anything.
"See, it's true, why are you silent? Is it true what I just said that you've fallen in love with Doctor Zara?" He repeated the statement again.
"See, I almost forgot." While slapping my forehead.
I started to change the topic and get out of the discomfort zone with Karel. Starting to do other activities that were considered more productive. Rather than having to respond to Karel's chatter. But again and again, he bothered me and kept following me while talking unclearly. It made me really annoyed. But I tried to ignore him and ignore him. Just let him talk as he pleased. But clearly, I didn't care about what he was talking about. But his presence here made it difficult for me to concentrate.
I felt like strangling his neck to stop talking. I couldn't continue my thoughts to plan something that could thwart Orion and Julian's work. But I chose to just give up for now. Leave Karel alone for now. Hopefully, there would be a miracle that would make him get out of my sight and disappear. Yes, I waited for that moment to happen. But it never happened.
Suddenly Doctor Zara returned with a critical expression. She walked towards us while taking off her latex gloves. Walking hurriedly and her sweat was pouring down her face. I started to shift my focus to her who was now getting closer to me. Likewise, Karel's gaze began to focus on Doctor Zara's presence.
"Why, doc?"
"Yes, doc, what happened?" Karel also asked.
"Enough! Let her sit down first. It seems like Doctor Zara is really exhausted."
"Sit down, doc, please!" Karel took a chair for Doctor Zara to sit on.
Meanwhile, her breathing was still irregular. Her sweat slowly began to drip. I let her rest until she was really ready to talk. A few moments later, her breathing began to stabilize and she could speak fluently. She conveyed some news that she thought was important.
"This is really serious! Emergency!"
"Why? What's wrong?" Karel and I became more curious and paid attention to what she was going to tell us.
"Like this..." Taking a deep breath as if she was conveying a very difficult problem for her.
Then she spoke again and continued her conversation.
"Most of the patients who came earlier were patients who had come here yesterday to check themselves. However, there were also some new ones. But the old ones complained of other symptoms. I was surprised, I thought they were new people, I thought they were new patients. But it turned out they were old patients who had complained about the symptoms they experienced yesterday."
"Emm, so what else happened? What did they experience?"
"Yes, after they experience early menopause. It turns out that after a few days, they also experience premature aging. Where their faces become older than before. Even though they are women with a young age in their teens to early adulthood. But strangely their skin becomes dull and wrinkled. In addition, they also experience osteoporosis, especially calcification of the joints in the pelvis, waist, and knees. This is truly a rare phenomenon. How do we restore the situation to its original state?"
After a moment of silence even though I hadn't answered, she spoke again.
