“Exactly, why would it take so long?” queried Damien.

“Well, all we have to do is observe. I’m sticking to my bet of three years.” retorted Darius.

 
 

Jeremy grinned and looked at his companions. “The cost of the wager will be three months of our salary. Winner takes all!”

“Deal!”

“No problem.”

 

While they were gleefully betting on Evan’s progress, the four were not prepared to see the state Evan was in the next day.

 

Jeremy was the first to be shocked by Evan’s appearance as he made his way towards them.

He rubbed his eyes hard, thinking he was mistaken. “No, that’s definitely Mr. Seet. Are my eyes playing tricks on me?”

 

“If you mean that he looks so gaunt and ghastly that he might die at any given moment, then your eyes are not playing tricks on you,” said Damien, wide-eyed.

“If what I’m seeing is real, then why does Mr. Seet look so horrible? There’s no real way to describe this, this…”

 

Jeremy sighed and trailed off, gesturing vaguely at Evan. Meanwhile, the other three were already making their way towards Evan in a hurry.

“What’s the matter, Mr. Seet?”

“My time will come soon,” replied Evan weakly.
