Chapter 29

This opens with Alice witnessing the most terrifying scene ever!!! And that is seeing her parents drink Roman's tea and calling him son-in-law. Before her parents leave, her Mom threatens to sever their mother-daughter relationship if Alice gets dumped again.
Seems like Roman is serious with his declarations. He already packed his bag and is very much ready to go leave. Now the table's turned and it's Alice time to beg that he stays. He relents. And as an act of goodwill, she drafts a contract. The contract states that she will never hit him and she will help him find his enemy. As for his part, he must continue pretending to be her boyfriend minus any hidden desires he may feel for her. However, he finds it childish and crumples the paper. For him, as long as she keeps her promise, he doesn't need a contract.
Alice and Jacqueline visit Phillip at his penthouse. Alice can't help but be amazed at how rich Phillip is. Jacqueline brags that once they are married, both francis and mogan family Corp's stock value will rise. Alice then asks if she could buy their stocks. Jacqueline won't let her though. She reminds Alice that she's downright unlucky and no matter how strong the stock fares in the market, it'll surely drop if she buys it.
Moving on, Alice says sorry to Phillip on behalf of Roman. And because he has a weak physical condition, she recommends that he try taekwondo at the station road where Roman works.
Jacqueline and Phillip attend the turn over ceremony for the Welfare Institute Phillip constructed. After their interview, Phillip feels compelled to tell her some personal information. He was an only child and his Mom died giving birth to him. He inherited the Morgan company after his Dad, whom he never met, died. After hearing his story, Jacqueline feels sorry for him.
At the research facility, Bill accidentally gets a hold of one strange blood analysis report. He talks with Professor Gerald about it and the latter confirms he conducted the blood test himself. Bill is thrilled by this because the analysis shows that the blood sample contains perfect enzyme threads, just like the hair sample from the dormant body.
To find the enemy, he instructs Alice to visit Hilton at the police station. She will serve as the diversion while Richard studies how the police servers work. She's wary of the plan but after Roman convinces her that it's the perfect avenue for her to exact her revenge at Hilton she concedes.
The trio celebrates the successful execution of their plan at a bar. After a few drinks, Alice gets drunk. She's starting to make a scene and Richard worries for paparazzi. She excuses herself and to their surprise, she goes to the stage, singing her heart out. Just like what Richard fears, her little stunt is published in the newspaper. Jacqueline goes to Hilton to show him the papers. She relays that Alice started to behave weirdly after she met Roman She suspects that Roman is a con artist and so, she persuades Hilton to check on Roman. Hilton thinks it through and agrees to look into it.
Alice meets with Bill. He's rather confused why she wanted to meet all of a sudden and thinks she wants to brag about her new boyfriend. Alice denies having that kind of thoughts and offers her condolences because he lost the dormant body. Bill doesn't believe her though and ask what she really wants. She feigns innocence and probes about Professor Gerald instead. She tells him that Professor Gerald wanted to test her blood. Bill finds it odd and he starts to suspect that Professor Gerald is up to something.
Roman's boking class is re-scheduled so he goes to pick up Alice at the film set. He asks her about the date with Bill and she answers it's a failure. She complains that no matter how much she talked about professor Gerald, Bill can't take a hint.
Roman is too engaged in the conversation and didn't notice the car in front of them. He immediately steps on the break and because of that, Alice gets a little scratch. He looks at the wound, but she tells him she doesn't need the special cure. Roman says it's okay because his blood may still be in her system. He reminds her that she mustn't let anybody get a hold of her blood, pointing out that getting her blood is easier than she imagined. Right then, he remembers Professor Gerald wanting a blood sample. And though she refused, she got hurt the next day. He puts two and two together and concludes that Professor Gerald was the one who sabotaged the prop.
That night, Bill waits for Professor Gerald in the lab. He asks if the donor of the blood sample he tested was Alice and if he was responsible for hurting her. Professor Gerald admits to the misdeed. Bill can only ask him "Why?".
The answer is quite simple for the professor. He had so many sacrifices for this research. But still, even after 10 years, there's no remarkable discoveries. He is frustrated and he's resolved to grab every opportunity for a breakthrough. And so when there seems to be irregularities in Alice case, he investigates on his own. With Alice blood, he has proven that his theory is correct. The only downside is that the enzyme in her body is only a minimal trace, so even if they drain her blood the discovery is still limited. Bill is disappointed at his professor's declaration. On the verge of tears, he tells him that this is the only time he'll pretend he doesn't know anything.
At home, Alice mulls over the fact that Professor Gerald might have known that something is different from her blood. Roman agrees and adds that he probably knows the dormant body is revived. Alice panics and tells Roman that they must hide. Roman explains that if only she keeps her mouth shut, no one will know he is the dormant body. Roman reminds her again to distance herself from Professor Gerald. He may not be the enemy but there's a big chance the enemy knows him.
Jacqueline invites Roman and Alice to a double date. Alice was pretty excited that she even buttons Roman's shirt. He finds her actions cute and says that she's already overdoing it. She defends that she just want them to look like a real couple for their debut date. In return he fixes her hair.
Jacqueline and Phillip are already waiting for them at the table. When they arrive, Phillip extends his hand to Roman. However, Roman holds his hand quite firmly which puzzles both girls and Phillip. After awhile, Roman tells Phillip that his hands are sweaty and he has a fast heartbeat which are clear signs for a fragile health. Phillipconfirms his findings and admits that he needs physical exercise.
Unmistakable encounter.
