Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews, guys. And thank you for patiently waiting the new chapter, so here you go..
"Come on, sweetheart. Let's go home!"
"What!?" Bo straight her back on the bed, giving Evony a confused and surprised look.
"Let's go from this miserable place. Bianca is taking care of your check out procedure. Now you pack your stuff, Eric is waiting for us in the lobby."
"No! The doctor said I can stay longer here. I'm not ready yet to go home this evening."
"Oh, Bo. Don't be so petulant. I know you're fine."
Evony packed Bo's stuff on her own. Bo knew she would never win on any debate or fight with her big sister, especially Evony was a century older than her, she was more like her mom than sister.
"Okay. But give me a minute, I borrowed this iPod from a nurse, I need to bring back to her." Bo lied showing her own iPod.
"Don't be too long." Evony warned her sister.

Bo walked in a rush to the front desk.
"Hi, um- could you give me Dr. Lauren Lewis' phone number and address?"
"I'm sorry miss. It's private and we can't provide it to you." The officer rejected her request.
Bo used her succubus charm on him.
"You know? I really love men in uniform." Bo said in seductive voice.
"Oh honey, that makes two of us." He replied.
Bo rolled her eyes, then pulsed her energy harder on him. She looked at his name tag before tried the second time to enthrall the man.
"Okay, Greg. I know you love men in uniform, but am I not attractive for you?"
"No. You're so beautiful. It's weird, I shouldn't think about that."
"Well thanks, I'm flattered. Now, Greg, I need your help. Would you help me, please?" Bo asked with puppy eyes.
"Y-Yes.. But.."
"Shh.." Bo put her point finger on his lips. "Would you help me please, I really need a personal doctor for this ache." Bo said while placed his hand against her left chest until he blushed a bit.
He gulped his own saliva in nervous.
"Yes. But please don't tell anyone you get this from me, especially my boyfriend because he's such a possessive bastard."
Bo rolled her eyes for the second time. "How could somebody call his boyfriend a bastard?" Bo thought.
"Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me." she continued with a wink.
Greg opened a file from the computer then wrote it down on a piece of paper. He handed it to Bo.
"Thank you."
"I don't know what's happening to me, but do you want my number too?"
Without answering Greg's question, Bo left him.
"You really don't want my number?" Greg asked louder.

Bo looked stunning in the red gown that Evony picked for her. Satyr was arrived in The Marquis mansion. Evony greeted him with a kiss on his cheek, then introduced him to her sister. Satyr kissed the backside of Bo's hand. He was a very sophisticated and charming man. They had dinner together. Satyr told about his life in Europe to Evony and Bo. Evony laughed so hard every time he made a joke, but Bo only gave emotionless laugh. Bo tried to be polite but she acted cool during the dinner, which Evony wasn't impressed by her sister's behavior toward Satyr.
After the dinner, Evony guided Satyr to his room. Bo refused to accompany him, saying she was not feeling well this night. Evony forced her, but Satyr understood and said that it was okay. So after the guest settled in the suite room, Evony walked in to Bo's bedroom.
"What the hell were you doing, Bo!?"
"What the hell I was doing?" Bo asked back to Evony with annoyed expression.
"I don't like your misbehavior, Bo. You should show him some respect, he's our honorable guest."
"Misbehavior? Really? Evony, he's your honorable guest. I've tried to be polite as I can to him. But sorry, if you expect me to be sweet and pretend to enjoy every conversation like you do, I can't! Because this is your dinner, your plan, your stupid marriage arrangement that I never agree. I'm a big girl, Evony, a grown-up woman! Don't ever controlling my life like I'm a little kid."
"Such a mouth! Bo-"
"Oh shut up, Evony! I don't want to hear anything about this stupid arrangement that would never work!"
Bo stormed out of the room.
"Ysabeau Denise Marquis!" Evony shout her sister's name angrily.
Bo ignored her sister and kept walking outside her bedroom. When she almost got out of the room, Bo gave her sister a final glance.
"I don't know if you tried to be ignorant, Evony, but Satyr has hots for you."
Bo walked in hurry to the garage, then drove her yellow sport car to The Dahl.

"Vodka please, Trick."
"Have a rough day?"
"A stupid rough night actually."
Trick served the drink to Bo. Bo swallowed in one gulp.
"Refill, please."
"Easy, tiger. You must be upset."
"Not only upset, but I'm totally angry. Make me wanna 'rawr' and counting to a hundred in French."
"C'est ton deuxième verre de vodka. Mais fais attention, ne bois pas trop. (Here's your second. Remember don't drink too much.)" Trick advised Bo wisely.
"Okay, French police." Bo gave her adorable smile to Trick.
"Besides, I'm hungry now."
"I can make you pancake if you want."
"I love your pancake so much, Trick. But it's not that kind of hungry. After the incident three nights ago, I didn't feed yet."
Bo wandered her eyes to the entire room, searching for a potential suspect. She captured her gaze on a sexy blonde girl who danced lively to the music.
"Game on." Bo gulped the vodka before approached her prey.
Trick watched Bo with concern. Him and Bo weren't blood-related, but for Trick, Bo was like his own daughter.
Flashback:
It was a nice day in Summer. Fitzpatrick McCorrigan took his day off to take his only daughter walking in the park. His wife didn't accompany them because she had a job to do at home, sewing Miss Darien's wedding dress. Vacation to theme park or out of the town was exclusive for them, thus taking their daughter to a park near their neighborhood was enough for them. They needed to save some money for her education, because their daughter was in her first year of elementary school now.
"Excuse me, could you take a picture of us, please?" A man asked Trick.
"Sure." Trick replied and took the camera that the man thrust to him.
The couple stood in front of a fountain, smiling.
"Ready? One.. Two.."
"Daddy, look! A chipmunk!" the blonde little girl squealed happily to her father, but Trick ignored her because he was focus taking a photo.
"Three."
"Thank you."
"My pleasure." Trick gave them a warm smile.
He was about to hold his daughter's hand, but he couldn't find her. He tried to find the little girl and desperately called her name.
"Lorraine!?"
Still no answer nor the sight from the blonde haired girl.
"Lorraine? Where are you? Daddy is thinking it's not a right time to play hide and seek.."
Suddenly a loud and screeching sound of vehicle break was heard. Panic rushed through Trick's entire body.
Trick walked to the source of the noise. He almost collapsed when he witnessed his little girl lied on the concrete, eyes closed, with blood all over her tiny figure. Blood. But not her own blood. It was someone else's, flooded from a tall man who held the little girl protectively between his arms. The savior.
The man was pale. His dark hair was wet with blood, flowing through his handsome face. He barely breathed for air, but his body was weak.
Trick approached them.
"Lorraine?" He called his daughter's name.
"Daddy." Lorraine stretched her arms to her daddy. Her pinkish cheeks were wet with tears, she was frightened.
"Oh my God. Sweetheart, are you alright?"
The little girl gave him a nod. Trick felt relieved knowing his little girl was fine. He kissed her forehead.
Then he looked to the savior with a grateful stare.
"Sir, thank you very much. I don't know what to do if you don't save my daughter, she was the most precious person in my life."
The man only gave them a weak smile.
"It's okay. I have a daughter too, she was about her age."
"I owe you huge, I don't know how to pay for your sacrifice?"
"No. She's still very young, she deserve to live." He caressed Lorraine's wet and fat cheek with his thumb.
But the man grew weaker and weaker. He knew his time was about to come in seconds. His body was trembling because he lost so much blood.
"I'm.. *cough* old.. e..nough.."
Trick was confused because he looked like forty. That was not old enough of course in Trick's opinion. But the man failed to finish his sentence. After coughed several times, finally he closed his eyes and gave up his last breath.
"No! No! Sir, please stay with me. I'll call the ambulance. No!" Trick shook the man's lifeless body.
He realized everything he did won't revive this noble man, because he was already gone. Trick took the wallet from the man's pocket, searching for his ID card.
Looking at the ID, he swore to the world. "Sebastian Marquis. You gave your life to save my daughter. Now I'll dedicate my life to pay your sacrifice."

Bo was barely satiated from her feed. She didn't have sex with the random blonde girl in the bar. Moreover she couldn't concentrate because every time she kissed the blonde girl, the image of Lauren's pretty face appeared in her mind.
After their hot make out session in a stall of bathroom, the girl gave Bo her number, telling Bo to call her anytime she wanted to finish what they left undone. Bo gave her a sweet smile then said goodbye with a kiss on the cheek.
Leaning her back against a wall, Bo breathed out a long sigh.
"Dr. Lewis, what did you do to me? Did you give me a love sick potion inside the medicine?" Bo smiled to herself, feeling stupid to have a thought like that.
She shoved her left hand inside her jeans pocket, taking a piece of paper that Greg had given to her. Looking at the address, she tracked how to reach there on her smartphone GPS.
"Well, actually it's not really that far from here."
She grabbed her leather jacket, then drank one last gulp of vodka and put it down on the bar table.
"Trick, I'm off now."
"Safe drive!"
Bo walked to the exit door, waving her hand to Trick.
It only took about ten minutes to Lauren's apartment from The Dahl. Bo parked her car next to the curb outside Lauren's apartment. She was not sure to go inside or not. Besides, she didn't know what to say to Lauren if they met right now. She was afraid that Lauren would feel horrified if a patient suddenly visited her in this hour without making an appointment before. Bo didn't want Lauren labeled her as stalker, even though literally she was a stalker tonight.
"What should I say to her? -Hi, Dr. Lewis, it's me Bo if you still remember me, your patient in St. Michael Hospital.- But it was so weird, wasn't it? If I say that I visit her in order to say thank you, I don't bring anything for her. I should bring flowers or cake or wine maybe, or something else. Dammit Bo, why didn't you think about it before?"
Conflicting with her thought, she noticed the blonde doctor walked out from the car in front of her. The succubus' heart beat rapidly, feeling surprised by Lauren's sudden appearance. But the blonde doctor was not alone. A brunette man run from behind her and called Lauren's name. Bo was sure that this man drove the blonde doctor home. He talked something to Lauren, but she shook her head and her mouth formed words "thank you". He seemed pushy and held Lauren's hand inside his palms. After the small argument, Lauren gave him a nod, but Bo could see that the blonde didn't look excited. With a wide and meaningful grin across his face, he opened the lobby door for her. Lauren replied with a polite smile before stepped inside the building. From the large glass windows, Bo saw them entering the elevator together. Unconsciously, Bo squeezed the wheel until her knuckles turned white. Curiosity filled her mind while jealousy burned inside her chest, and absolutely those were not a perfect combination for the night.
