Professor Klaus had indeed made a breakthrough – and a very significant one at that!
Ren completely forgot about his aching body as he listened to Professor Klaus explain what he had found out, and Ren realised that they were very, very close to the final solution! There was only one last bit that they needed to figure out – and this was why Professor Klaus had sought out Ren. After all, the original proposal and research premise had come from Ren!
Ren listened carefully, reviewed the notes and the experiments that had been done so far, and then started discussing with Professor Klaus earnestly. The two of them discussed for well over two hours before coming up with three potential final steps – and then the whole research team got to work to test out all three.
Several hours passed. Fang, too, was immersed in the research at hand, but he still managed to keep an eye on Ren. Ren, on the other hand, seemed to have completely forgotten about everything except the work in front of him.
Fang was a bit worried. He knew how Ren got when he was completely focussed on something – he would end up pushing himself far beyond his ordinary limits, and then, once the work was done, Ren would be in for a massive and unpleasant crash. Fang didn't want that to happen to Ren this time – but from the way things were going, Fang realised that it was imminent, and that his hands were tied on this matter. Ren would never forgive him if he pulled him out of the research lab and dragged him home to rest at this critical juncture.
But then – Fang also didn't want to compromise on Ren's health. It was his own fault to begin with – he should not have been so fierce last night – in fact, he should have simply held it in till the weekend so that Ren would have gotten plenty of rest before having to return to SIMS!
Fang bit his lip, feeling guilty, and swore that he would be very, very gentle with Ren from now on. He would treat his fiancé as if he was a porcelain doll – but then, would Ren like that? What if he hated it? After all, Ren was a proud man, and no man liked to be made to feel that he was weak and fragile, especially by someone close to him!
While Fang was agonising over the matter of Ren's well being, Ren himself was completely occupied with the experiment that he was running.
Fang looked at Ren's face, which was as white as a sheet by now, and his slim body that seemed as if he would fall over any moment – but then, he could also see the determination on Ren's chin, and the bright spark in Ren's eyes which indicated that success was very close at hand.
Fang sighed and sent a text to Dr. Gordon instead. Dr. Gordon had practically become Fang's godfather by now, and his go to person for any kind of issues, be it about life or health or anything else.
Fang's phone lit up almost immediately, indicating that Dr. Gordon had already sent him a response. And he had. Dr. Gordon had said that he was in the vicinity of SIMS and would drop in to see them in a bit.
Fang heaved a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Ren finally put down his equipment and beamed at everyone, holding up a test tube in his hand.
"It's done!" he declared.
The whole research team stared at him, stunned.
Then Professor Klaus snatched the test tube from Ren's hand and quickly tested it in the big machine they had imported from Star Country.
The green bars on the machine lit up – and this really meant that they had succeeded!
Professor Klaus jumped and hugged Ren tightly, almost squeezing the breath out of the young man.
"You did it, son, you did it!" Professor Klaus cried enthusiastically.
Ren laughed lightly and extracted himself from the enthusiastic Professor Klaus's arms. "No, Professor," he said with a smile. "We did it – all of us!"
Dale blinked. "Does this – does this mean that we can actually start the trials now…?" he asked in a low voice.
"Yes, my boy, yes!" Professor Klaus cried happily, clapping his hands. "We can start the trials, and in a few months, if the trials succeed – and I think they will – we will be able to cure Thalassemia once and for all! Our Ash's little brother will be able to become a normal little boy without the need for constant medical treatment!"
Ash froze for a moment and then burst into tears. Dale quickly wrapped his arms around her in a protective manner, comforting her with his gentle care.
Fang moved close to Ren, who was smiling fondly.
"How are you feeling?" Fang asked Ren in a whisper.
"On top of the world, my big darling," Ren whispered with a rakish smile, but with his wan and pale face, it didn't have the usual charming effect.
Besides, Fang could see that Ren was unsteady on his feet.
Fang immediately slipped an arm around Ren's waist, steadying him, and turned to Professor Klaus.
"Professor Klaus," he said politely. "Ren has been a little under the weather since yesterday. May I take him home now?"
"Yes, of course, of course!" Professor Klaus said absently, already busy studying Ren's notes and the exact process he had followed to get the results.
Then he suddenly looked up and saw Ren's pale face.
A guilty expression flooded Professor Klaus's face. "My apologies, I have kept you in my lab for too long," he murmured. "But you can go home and get some rest now – I have it under control here."
Ren smiled at the fatherly professor and Fang said politely, "Thank you, Professor Klaus."
Then the two of them bid farewell to the rest of the research team and stepped out of the research lab.
Fang supported Ren with one arm and pulled out his phone to call the chauffeur to bring the car over to the main entrance, since it was easier for them to go from there instead of walking to the parking lot. Fang could feel that Ren was very unsteady at the moment, and it seemed like if Fang let him go, Ren would fall to the ground.
Just then, Fang spotted Dr. Gordon striding into the lobby. Fang waved his arm at the middle aged doctor, who came over quickly.
Dr. Gordon frowned as soon as he saw Ren's wan and pale face.
"What on earth has this little idiot been up to now?" he demanded angrily.
Ren sighed. "Let's go home first," he suggested pitifully.
Neither Fang nor Dr. Gordon would argue with that.
Ren fainted in the car on their way home. Fang panicked, but thanks to the presence of Dr. Gordon in the car with them, he was soon able to regain his senses and explain what had happened in the past few days to Dr. Gordon.
"Looks like he is just exhausted, then," Dr. Gordon murmured. "I'll check him properly once we reach your home – but young Fang, you really do need to learn to hold back a little, all right? And you also have to make sure that this lazy bum gets some exercise and builds some stamina – if he is going to be performing complicated surgeries in the future, we can't have the surgeon fainting in the operation theatre, right? Not to mention that you'll not be able to lay a finger on him unless you go on a vacation – that would be a bit too much for a fine young stallion like you."
Fang blushed as red as a tomato and nodded. There was nothing he could say to that.
The bigger concern here, though, was Ren's general lack of stamina. While there didn't seem to be anything wrong with Ren in general – a normal and healthy young man of his age shouldn't be like this, should he? It wasn't that Ren and Fang were the only couple in the world that were working hard and studying hard in their college – and obviously all these couples were not practising celibacy the entire time they were in college. So, then, why was Ren like this?
Actually, Fang knew that Ren was a bit delicate right from the beginning – it was one of the first things Wolf had told him about Ren the first time they had met. But it was impossible to see because Ren exuded such a powerful and domineering aura as CEO Ren that no one ever spotted it. And soon after, Fang had learnt the truth about Ren's transmigration from another world, and he had assumed that Wolf's words were applicable to the original Ren, whom Fang had never met, and not on his Ren.. But now that Fang thought about it seriously, the body was the same, right? It was only Ren's soul that had come from the other world. Wasn't that why the whole issue with the magic surge had happened?
