I’m Someone Else

“His name is Thomas Clifford. He’s a friend of mine. Please help us, Rose. He’s very important to me. I can’t let him die…”

“Who did you say it was? Thomas Clifford?” Rose was stunned. Was it just someone with the same name?

“Is the Thomas Clifford you’re referring to a rather tall and skinny man who doesn’t talk much?”

Olivia nodded. “That’s right. He doesn’t like to smile either and acts a bit cool.”

“That can’t be!” Rose’s jaw dropped. The guy Olivia is talking about is the one I know! Thomas is an extremely capable man, so how did he get poisoned? Is he acquainted with Olivia? Then, she ran over to Timothy and asked, “Where’s the Myria Herbal Pill, Dad? Do we still have it?”

Time was of the essence so she didn’t waste it. She didn’t even bother greeting the other men.

Raymond and Timothy exchanged glances in confusion. What’s going on with Rose? She came running to us for the pill after exchanging a few sentences with Olivia, but she knows what we need the pill for!

“We still have it, of course.” Timothy eyed Rose. She’s usually so calm and dependable. What’s going on with her today? Why is she so flustered?

“Quick! Give it to me now! I need to save Thomas!”

“Thomas?”

Timothy thought his mind was playing tricks on him. Save Thomas? Could it be that Thomas Clifford’s the one who has been poisoned?

Quincy and John were startled by Rose’s agitation too. Why is she trying so hard to save Thomas? Do they know each other?
