"Well ... I think you're right, Auntie Veronica. And Daddy once asked her if Doctor Faraday could prevent my hair from falling out after chemotherapy, but she says she can't do it at all. How come she couldn't do it, she is a doctor." Joerg folded his arms. "Apparently, I'm not wrong for dislike her, right, Auntie?"

"That's right, my sweetie Joerg," Veronica continued. She shifted her position so she sits closer to Joerg. She stroked Joerg's remaining hair, and pretended to look sad. "Poor boy, but to treat your illness, there's no need to make your hair fall out and get messy like this, isn't it? What a cruel doctor!"

"Um, Auntie? Can you treated sick people? If you can, I want Auntie who treat me, not Dr. Faraday."

"Too bad Auntie can't do it, Joerg sweetie," Veronica said with a fake remorseful face. "Auntie only understands the legal world, like your father. Auntie did not understand anything about health. If Auntie were a doctor, Auntie would not hesitate to treat you without having to make your hair fall out."

Joerg suddenly looked disappointed. Very good, Veronica, great! In an instant, you have poisoned this boy's mind, and won the boy's heart. The more you conquered the boy's heart, your chances to get Mr. Edgeworth will bigger! And you have to make him really hate Doctor Faraday!

An evil and cunning idea then suddenly appeared in her head.

Slowly, Veronica pulls her cell phone out of her pocket. "Well, Joerg sweetie, may Auntie have your cell phone number? You must have a cell phone, don't you?"

"Yes I have. What's my cell phone number for, Auntie?"

"Here." Veronica put her lips closer to Joerg's ear, then turned around so no one would hear their conversation, and make sure that Edgeworth was still busy making mango juice and hamburgers in the kitchen.

"If Doctor Faraday makes you irritated and tempted your father again, you just call or send a text message to Auntie. Later Auntie will tell you ways to keep your father away from Doctor Faraday. How, Joerg sweetie? Do you like Auntie's idea?"

Joerg looked thoughtful and hesitated for a moment.

"Hmmm ... I like your idea, Auntie. But how about Daddy? What if he get angry?"

"So, don't tell Daddy about this. Let this be our secret, okay, honey? You like secrets, don't you? Auntie sure, this smart and handsome boy, surely can keep a secret, right, dear?"
Veronica blinked one of her eye. Joerg smiled and nodded with vigor. Shortly after, Edgeworth had finished cooked large plate of hamburger and three glasses of mango juice. As he returns to the living room, he saw Veronica was tickled Joerg, and Joerg bursts into laughter on the couch.

"HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA! I'm so amused, Auntiee! Stop, stop, stop!"

"Ready for the next attack, handsome kid?"

Edgeworth cleared his throat. "Here, the hamburger you asked for, son. Stop playing and eating first. Miss Veronica, please have a drink."

"Alright, Mr. Edgeworth, thank you very much, you don't need to bother actually," Veronica said in a very flirtatious voice and look. Felt disgusted, Edgeworth stared at Veronica with cold glare while sipping his juice.

"Daddy, the hamburger was so delicious," said Joerg. "Do you want a hamburger, Auntie Veronica? Daddy's hamburger really tasty! Daddy is not only good at catching criminals, but also a good cook!"

"Auntie?" Edgeworth asked in puzzlement. It felt strange and awkward for him Joerg had called Veronica as 'Auntie' when they have just met today. He watched in amazement as Joerg tore his hamburger and shoved the hamburger slice into Veronica's mouth. He knew he should felt happy to see his son could like Veronica quickly, but somehow, he dislike it. He felt Veronica's hospitality was just a mask. He still had not forgotten his annoyance when Veronica lied and did not tell him that Joerg was sick at home a few days ago.

"Wow, it's already 6. I have to go home. See you later, Joerg! See you later, Mr. Edgeworth! See you in the office."

"See you later, Auntie Veronica! Next time we play puzzle, okay!" Replied Joerg.

"Auntie Veronica is nice, right, Daddy? She is also pretty!" Said Joerg when Veronica had gone home.

"Do you think so? You like her, son?" Edgeworth frowned, his astonishment growing.

"Yes! Auntie Veronica is nice and funny, Daddy! Not like Doctor Faraday!"

"Not like Doctor Faraday? Joerg, isn't Dr. Faraday also very nice to you as well? Remember when she take care of you until almost midnight when Daddy was busy working in the office? Then how she cheer you on chemotherapy?"

Joerg shrugged his shoulders, and said nothing more. He got up from the couch, and yawning.

"I'm so tired, Daddy. I want to go to bed, Daddy. Good night."

"Do you want Daddy to hold you to your room?"

"No need to bother, Daddy. Good night. I love you, Daddy." Joerg kissed Edgeworth's cheek and went to his room. Edgeworth watched his only son from afar with great confusion.

There must be something. It is impossible Joerg like Veronica so quickly without any apparent reason. And it can't be Veronica could be so kind to Joerg. If she likes Joerg, why at that time she lied to me and did not tell the phone from Helena? Why she didn't tell me when Joerg sick at home at that time? What were they talking about when I was cooking in the kitchen?

"What's the matter, little brother?" Franziska poked his back. "You looked so serious and confused."

"About my secretary."

"Veronica Stevenson? The woman who visited here earlier?"

Edgeworth nodded. "Yes. She and Joerg looked so close. Joerg looks very like Veronica ... I don't know, Franziska, but I don't like Joerg too close with Veronica. Somehow she gave me the impression that her kindness and hospitality were fake."

"I agree with you, little brother. And you have to be careful."

"Careful? What do you mean?"

"She seems to like you, little brother. Maybe she deliberately using Joerg to win you over. If you're in love with Dr. Faraday and wanted her to be Joerg's new mother, she can become a nuisance. She seems dangerous, little brother."

Edgeworth fall into deep thinking in his room after hearing Franziska's words.

You have to be careful.

Yes, he must be careful. Because a woman who was in love, can be so reckless to do any stupid things.

The Saturday that Joerg had been waiting for came. He woke up very early. With enthusiasm, he tidied his room, and breaks into Edgeworth's room. He shook Edgeworth's body violently. However, because of fatigue, Edgeworth still asleep, snoring, breaking the silence around the house. After three attempts to wake Edgeworth, but only snoring he got as an answer, irritably Joerg take a small bucket. He then flushed Edgeworth's face with the bucket. Edgeworth awoke with startled, ready to shout and get angry, but after saw that the one who flushed him was his son, his anger subsided immediately.

"Son, if you want to wake Daddy, don't flushed Daddy like this! Look, Daddy's mattress, pillow, and bed sheet, all very wet now. Poor Helena, you give more job to her."

Joerg grinned innocently. "Sorry, Daddy. Because Daddy is so hard to wake up. I tried to wake Daddy three times but Daddy was snoring. So I flushed Daddy. Come on, get ready, Daddy! Daddy didn't forget Daddy's promise, isn't it? Bayern Munich vs Manchester United!" Cried Joerg as he jumped up and down with joy.

"How could Daddy forget the promise to Daddy's own son? Now get out while Daddy gets ready. If you want to eat breakfast first, go on."

"Alright, Daddy!" Joerg jump out of Edgeworth's room quickly, cause a loud noise and cause a stir.

Edgeworth shook his head and took a short breath. He took off the sheets, pillowcases, and the wet blankets. He took Lana's framed photo, then whispered, "Lana, you see our son? Although suffering from severe illness, he was still nimble, naughty, and energetic. Just like you."

After bathing, dressing, and breakfast, Joerg and Edgeworth bid farewell to Helena and Franziska.

"Have fun, little brother, Joerg."

"Have fun, Master Miles! Take it easy, leave home to me."

"Thank you very much, Helena, Franziska. Joerg, let's go now, son."

In the car, Joerg did not stop talking. Edgeworth listened carefully while continuing to concentrate on the road. He was happy to make his son happy.

"... ..I hope Robert Lewandowski will play too! He's the best player Bayern Munich ever had! His kick, his dribble, his speed... And if I can, I also want to ask for his autograph later! Also take pictures with him! Can I, Daddy?"

"Of course you can, son. But you're sure you'll just ask for Lewandowski's autograph and photograph? According to Daddy, Thomas Mueller much better than him. And Mueller is a World Cup champion, not like Lewandowski. A soccer player can't said to be the best player yet if they haven't won World Cup, isn't it?" teased Edgeworth. He actually did not know much about soccer, but for his son, he was willing to read soccer newspapers for hours and learn about soccer.

"Huh! Lewandowski will be the World Cup champion later! It's just a matter of time, Daddy! Messi and Ronaldo also never won World Cup, but everyone always says they are the best soccer player in the world!" Joerg snapped. Edgeworth laughed out loud, then ruffled Joerg's hair with his right hand.

"Daddy just kidding, son."

He slowed his car and stopped in front of Kay's apartment.

"Why, we stop here, Daddy? This is an apartment, not a stadium?"

"Yeah, Daddy had to pick someone first, then we go to the stadium. You just wait in the car, son, while Daddy goes inside. And don't be naughty."

Joerg frowned. Pick up someone? Who? Isn't Daddy never said that he will invite someone else to watch this match? Perhaps…. What Daddy meant was ...

Inside, Kay was waiting. She wore a pink polo shirt and blood-red training pants. She also wore headbands and lipstick with faded red color. Her appearance was looks casual, simple, yet elegant.

"Good morning, Kay. Eh ... you look ... pretty." Edgeworth said nervously.

Kay blushed. She watched Edgeworth from head to toe. Edgeworth still wore his burgundy jacket, but he didn't wear his cravat. As the replacement, he wore a plain black T-shirt and looked elegant as usual.

"And you ... er ... looks elegant as usual, Miles. Um ... where are your son?"

"He's waiting in the car. Let's go now."

"Miles, I really thank you that you want to invite me."

"It is me who should thank you for taking care of my son well, Doctor." Edgeworth smiled a little.

Joerg felt the flames of anger burning him as he glanced at the car window. His suspicion was true. Daddy invite Doctor Faraday! Why should Daddy take Doctor Faraday to the Bayern Munich game? She is a woman, is there any woman who like soccer ? Huh, definitely Doctor Faraday who forced Daddy to invite her! What a flirty!

"Hello, Joerg." Kay greeted kindly. "How are you, honey?"

"Fine." Joerg answered stiffly. He folded his hands, tapped his fingers to his elbow, and looked at her hatefully. But Kay did not seem to be aware of Joerg's cold reaction, so she got into the car casually.

On the way, Joerg pretends to sleep. Occasionally he peeped and saw Kay and Edgeworth talking to each other and they looked so close. Joerg was annoyed. He wants to spend time alone with his father, why Doctor Faraday bothers both of them?

Quietly, he picked up his cell phone and sent a message to Veronica.

Auntie Veronica, I'm so upset. Daddy took me to watch a pre-season tour match Bayern Munich vs Manchester United but it's turned out he invited Dr. Faraday too! And Daddy did not tell me at all if he invite Doctor Faraday! I am so annoyed! I'm going to go out with Daddy alone but Doctor Faraday disturb us. What should I do, Auntie?

Not until 10 minutes later, Veronica answered his message.

Wow, is that right, Joerg sweetie? It must be very annoying, huh? What did Auntie say, Joerg, she will do everything to take your father. Suggestions from Auntie, make that flirtatious doctor feeling very uncomfortable. Disturb her, be naughty, then she will gone. Okay, Joerg sweetie? Good luck, handsome boy!

Hugs and kisses

Auntie Veronica

Joerg smiled slyly. Look, Doctor Faraday! I will not let you take my father from me!

Because the streets were jammed, they just arrived at the stadium half an hour later. Edgeworth bought VIP tickets for the three of them.

"Wow, VIP! This meant I could see Lewandowski from very close range! Thank you very much, Daddy!" Cried Joerg with bright eyes. Kay also looked surprised when saw the tickets given by Edgeworth.

"The match will start in 10 minutes. Alright, let's go inside now. Otherwise we can miss it." Edgeworth took her hand quickly. Sheepishly, Kay grip Edgeworth's hands back, and they both go hand in hand while heading into the stadium, while Joerg follow them in the back with fury. He then ran very fast on purpose, and hit Kay. Kay, shocked, takes off her hand from Edgeworth's grip and slipped to the ground. In an instant her whole clothes became dirty.

Edgeworth was furious. It never occurred to him that his son would do such a disrespectful thing. He shouted, "Joerg! What the hell are you doing? Why did you run into Doctor Faraday like that? Look, her clothes now very dirty!"

Frantically, he approached Kay. "Kay! Are you okay?" Edgeworth held out his hand and helped Kay to get up. He then helped to clean the ground stains on Kay's clothing. He took off his burgundy suit and put it on Kay's body so her dirty clothes became unseen. Still upset, Edgeworth tweaked Joerg's ears.

"Naughty boy! Who taught you to behave like that?!"

"Sorry, Daddy, I didn't mean to! Really!" said Joerg with half crying.

"Miles! There. there, it's okay, don't exaggerate! You heard, Joerg was not intentional! Don't be rude to your own son!" said Kay. Edgeworth finally released his hand from Joerg's ear.

"Apologize to Doctor Faraday." said Edgeworth firmly. But, Joerg just stood, his head bowed to the ground.

"Daddy said, apologize! Now!" Edgeworth said again in a slightly rising tone. Reluctantly, Joerg took a step forward, and murmured, "Sorry, Doctor Faraday."

"It's okay, honey. Next time be careful when walking, okay?" Kay said with a sweet smile. She is still not able to mollify Joerg.

Huh, surely she's purposely fall so Daddy gets mad at me. What a cunning woman! I hit her slowly, not fast! Now she's even wore Daddy's burgundy jacket...huh!

The atmosphere becomes uncomfortable when they enter the stadium. Joerg was angry because his ears tweaked by his father, while Edgeworth also still annoyed because of Joerg's rude attitude. Fortunately, the match will begin. When Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller getting into the field, both Joerg and Kay screaming hysterically. The kickoff whistle was sounded, sign the match had started. The stadium becomes very noisy. Edgeworth joined in cheering, pretending to enjoy, when in his heart he felt this game was a foolish game and a waste of time. 22 people fight over one ball for 90 minutes ... Why don't just give each player one ball? He did not understand why both Kay and Joerg seemed to enjoy the game.

"LEWANDOWSKI ! WHAT I SAID! HE SCORED ! LEWANDOWSKI IS GREAT! LEWANDOWSKI THE KING!" Shouted Joerg. Edgeworth glanced at the corner of the pitch. A replay screen showing when Lewandowski was scored. According to Edgeworth, the way he scored was mediocre, pretty similar like insert an empty bottle into the fridge.

"Lewandowski is not only handsome, but also very good at playing soccer, right?" Said Kay.

Joerg glared. "Huh, woman! It's a soccer game, not the election of a model or commercials, Dr. Faraday! Don't look the player from their faces, but from the skill! Women, didn't understand anything about soccer but watch soccer just because the player faces!"

Kay's face changed from cheerful to became gloomy. Edgeworth furiously gripped Joerg's shoulder.

"The way you talk really impolite, Joerg! Did Daddy and Auntie Franziska ever teach you to talk like that ?! Once again you're being rude and naughty, we're going home! No asking for autograph and taking pictures with Lewandowski!"

Joerg frowned.

Huh, why don't this doctor go home yet?

Joerg shrugged his shoulders indifferently, while Kay continued to smile, though with a sad smile.

This boy seems didn't like me...And I've tried to be nice to him. Instead I became disturber, I'd better go home now. However, before Kay had excused herself, whistle marks completion of the first round sounded, and Joerg whines that he was hungry.

"What do you want to eat, Joerg?"

"I'm going to eat instant noodle cup, Daddy! And milk chocolate!"

"And you, Kay? What do you want to eat?" Asked Edgeworth to Kay.

Kay smiled weakly. "No, Miles. I'm not hungry."

"All right, let's go to the cafeteria then."

They go down from the VIP seats and headed toward the cafeteria. Edgeworth ordered two cups of instant noodles and three glasses of milk chocolate. He handed a glass of chocolate and a cup of instant noodles to Joerg. Joerg whistled, pretending to look up at the sky, then deliberately, pouring his instant noodle cup into Kay's face. Kay screamed in pain because of the heat. While Joerg struggling for not to laugh.

"KAY!" Stutteringly, Edgeworth took his handkerchief and wiped Kay's face. When finished, he glanced over Joerg who laughing quietly. Trembling with anger, Edgeworth pinched Joerg's arm.

"Let's go home." Edgeworth whispered shortly. "Now."

"But, Daddy! The game is not finished yet...?"

"NOW!" Edgeworth shouted again. "Don't argue with Daddy!" He gripped his son's arms and drag Joerg into the car.

On the way home, Edgeworth incessantly apologizes to Kay while driving. Kay did not answer at all, her face was red from holding tears. Arriving at Kay's apartment, Edgeworth drove Kay to the inside.

"Kay, I'm really sorry. Really, I also don't understand why my son acted like that. He is usually a calm and quiet boy."

"Come on, Miles. Your son really didn't like me. It would be better if we don't have to meet again. You can look for another doctor to treat your son. Good-bye, Miles."

"Kay! -" Too late. Kay had closed the door right in front of his face. Edgeworth walked back to his car, and this time driving at high speed.

The Edgeworth Family Residence
April 30 th, 2028

"Go into your room. Now!" Shouted Edgeworth. Joerg opened his mouth to argue, but eventually he obeyed Edgeworth after saw the stern gaze of his father. Edgeworth followed him from behind, while Franziska watched him in bewilderment.

"What happened, little brother ? Why are you yelling at Joerg like that?"

"Later, Franziska." Edgeworth replied shortly. He stepped into Joerg's room, then closed the door.

"You know that your deed was totally intolerable and can't be justified, Joerg?"

Joerg said nothing. He was pretending to play with his cars toy without looking at Edgeworth's face at all. Edgeworth took a deep breath, closing his eyes for a moment. God, give me patience. He is my son. He is my son and he has a serious illness, don't forget it, Edgeworth. There must be a reason why he behaves like that.

"Joerg, did you hear Daddy?" Edgeworth tried to lower his voice. But Joerg was still silent. "Explain to Daddy, why are you behaving like that to Doctor Faraday ? You make Daddy embarrassed. And because of your attitude, Dr. Faraday won't to handle your treatment again!"

Joerg cheered silently. Yippieeee! That's what I want, Daddy ! But to be safe, he chose to remain silent and continue to pretend to play with his car toys. Edgeworth sighed once again. He picked up Joerg's balls, and said,

"Alright. You don't want to explain to Daddy why are you behaved like that. Alright, you also don't want to apologize. This means, a punishment. You can't play the ball until you want to talk and apologize to Dr. Faraday in person."

Joerg raised his head quickly. He threw his cars toy into the mattress and tried to snatch the ball back from Edgeworth's hands.

"No, Daddy! Not my ball! Daddy know I really like to play ball!"

"This is a punishment because you're naughty. Our conversation is over." Edgeworth stepped outside with carrying Joerg's ball, and closed the door.

Two weeks have passed since the incident at the stadium. Edgeworth repeatedly tried to contact Kay to apologize, but both of his text messages and phones never answered. In fact, Kay's cell phone number is still active. Kay was really angry and offended. Edgeworth can't blame her. Because he never managed to reached Kay, Edgeworth began to find a new doctor to handle Joerg's treatment.

Unexpectedly by Edgeworth, the search for a new doctor for Joerg was so stressful. First he tried to go to Doctor Hernan Crespo, an Argentine male doctor who, according to a review on the internet, was a very capable and really good with children. The reality is the opposite. Doctor Crespo was very rude and impatient. When Joerg was screaming and crying in pain when undergoing the chemotherapy, Dr. Crespo instead yell and scare him. At the end of the chemotherapy session, Edgeworth shouted each other with Doctor Crespo because he did not accept his son being treated like that.

Second, he tried to Dr. Audy Katharina Evans. A pretty doctor and often starred on the health commercials. It turns out, Doctor Katharina is a big fan of Edgeworth. When Edgeworth met her and asked her to handle Joerg's treatment, the young doctor was screaming with joy, jumping, and tried to kiss her lips to Edgeworth's lips. Edgeworth like a thief who were chased by a chicken when leaving the hospital. He tried several other doctors, and the result was the same, all the woman's doctor is a big fan of him and always teased him. Even Doctor Tania Hills, without much ado, asked Edgeworth to marry her.

Indeed, there was no other doctor as great as Dr. Faraday, complained Edgeworth in his office after once again failed to find the right doctor. While Joerg's condition day by day more and more worrying. His appetite decreased drastically, he often felt dizziness, easily get tired lately, and nosebleed at least twice a day. Makes Edgeworth forget his anger over what happened when they watched the game and also could not concentrate on working. If he can't immediately persuade Dr. Faraday to want to handle Joerg's treatment again, Edgeworth afraid that his son condition will gets worse.

"Mr. Edgeworth, here, some files that you need to sign, after this you have a meeting with Mr. Jamson Phillips. At 8 in Tres Bien."

Edgeworth raised his head from his laptop, and rolled his eyes. The last thing he wanted was to see Veronica.

"Mr. Edgeworth, sir? Are you okay? You seems confused and upset... If there was something bothering you..." Veronica walked to the back of his chair. "I am ready to listen."

Then Veronica wrapped her arm around Edgeworth's neck. Edgeworth hurriedly get rid of Veronica's arm out of his neck.

"Thank you very much for your attention, Miss Stevenson. But I don't want to bothered by anyone right now. You can come out now, and see me again if the meeting time has come." Edgeworth said coldly.

"Miss Stevenson? You used to call me 'Miss Veronica' why are you calling me with my last name now, Miles?"

Edgeworth was dumbfounded. After dare to touch me, this woman even dare to call me by my first name when I never once asked her to call me that way?

"Edgeworth. Mr. Edgeworth, Miss Stevenson." Edgeworth gritted his teeth, trying to look elsewhere from Veronica's face.

"Wouldn't be nice if we call each other by first name, so we can relieve tension due to pressure of work, Miles?" Whispered her again. She move her face closer to Edgeworth's, so the distance of their faces now only about one centimeter. Uncomfortably, Edgeworth pushed his chair backward.

"I would prefer if we maintain professionalism in our working relationship, Miss Stevenson, thank you."

Veronica scowled. Why is it so hard to flirted with him? While Dr. Faraday can easily hold his hand? Actually, what's that bitch Dr. Faraday have instead of me?

May 21st, 2028
Tres Bien

"Yes, and it's enough for our meeting today, Mr. Edgeworth, it's nice to meet and talk to you."

"And also an honor for me to meet great person like you, Mr. Phillips." Edgeworth bowed.

"See you again Mr. Edgeworth."

"See you again too, Mr. Philips, don't hesitate to contact me if you need to."

Edgeworth and Mr. Philips shakes hands. After Mr. Philips had gone, Edgeworth tidied up scattered papers on the table from the meeting before. When Edgeworth was busy cleared up, Veronica tenderly leaned her head into Edgeworth's shoulder.

"Miss Stevenson, if you keep leaning like this, my hand so hard to move and I find it difficult to tidy up these papers." muttered Edgeworth. He refrained from throwing anything at Veronica's face. Argh, I wish I could fire her and find a new secretary ...But her work was very great, I couldn't fire her...

"Why are you so cold to women, Miles ...?"

"Edgeworth, ED-GE-WORTH." cut Edgeworth impatiently, while still sorting the files.

"Alright, alright! Why are you so cold, Mr. Edgeworth, you still can't forget the late Lana? She's dead, why are you remembering her again, those who had died, will never come back, you know that, Mr. Edgeworth..."

Edgeworth raised his hand quickly. "Miss Stevenson. I don't want to hear you talk about my deceased wife like that..." Suddenly Edgeworth stop his words when saw a woman across the table. He didn't wrong. It was Kay. Edgeworth hurriedly stuffed all the files into his briefcase, then walked over to Kay's table, completely ignored Veronica.

"Hello, Kay," says Edgeworth. "Glad to see you again."

"M-miles!" Kay jumped. "Eh ... what are you doing here?"

Veronica narrowed her eyes, watching both of them from distance. So, is that Doctor Kay Faraday? That short and thin woman? She is no more beautiful than me! And she called Mr. Edgeworth by his first name? Mr. Edgeworth also called her by her first name? Meanwhile if I call his first name, Mr. Edgeworth was so upset. Damn you, Doctor Faraday...!

"I just had a meeting. Kay, I tried to call and send text messages to you several times, but you never responded."

Kay smiled weakly. "Sorry, Miles, but, like I said, it's better we don't have to meet again..."

"You're still angry with the incident in the match? Kay, I really am sorry, I ..."

"Well, it's actually understandable why your son behaved like that, Miles, I just feel sad he dislike me after I try so hard to be nice to him."

"And Kay, my son actually really need you. I've tried to find another doctor who can handle his treatment, but really, Kay, there are no other doctors as good as you. I beg you to want to handle Joerg's treatment again. Every day his condition worsened, Kay. He always tired, his appetite dropped drastically, and he often nosebleeds than before. I... I can't bear to always see him like that." Edgeworth pleaded. With trembling, Edgeworth hold and stroked Kay's hands with pleading gaze. He and Kay spent the next few minutes just looking at each other. Although initially wanted to deny Edgeworth's request, but when their eyes met, Kay could not refuse.

"All right, Miles. It's just ... behave professionally in front of your son. So he won't feel annoyed again."

"Thank you very much, Kay. I leave it to you to heal my son. By the way, next week your birthday, isn't it? I saw your date of birth on your business card. Do you want to ... go to the movies with me ? Think of it as an apology and a birthday present for you. I beg you for not refuse."

Edgeworth's eyes melted Kay. She finally nodded her head.

Edgeworth took Kay's hand once again and kissed it. Saw all of that, Veronica quickly approached the two of them, and cleared her throat softly. Kay threw asked glanced to Edgeworth.

"Oh, uh, sorry, I forgot to introduce both of you. Kay, this is Veronica Stevenson, my secretary in the office. And Miss Stevenson, this is Doctor Kay Faraday, the doctor who handle Joerg's treatment."

Kay and Veronica looked at each other coldly, and shake their hands with force, before hastily released their handshake. Saw Veronica, Kay suddenly felt jealous.

This secretary is so gorgeous, as the models that I usually saw on America's Next Top Model... And she looks so elegant beside Miles ... Kay scrunched up her face a little. Ah, what the hell am I thinking? What's my right to be jealous? Indeed, this man had slept with me, I've even handed my virginity to him, but, still, our status still nothing more than a doctor and a patient's parents. There's no yet continuation of our status to be more serious...

Meanwhile, Veronica also observed Kay with envy and jealousy.

This doctor is just a kid! She's like a child who play doctors game! Of course I'm much better than her! Okay, the drums of war had begun, Dr. Faraday, and you must know, that I will win this fight!

To be continued...
