Chapter 40: chapter 40

In the dim isolation of a privately outfitted lab, buried beneath layers of dust and secrecy, Dr. Ram Mehta stood rigid, holding a printed medical report that felt heavier than any death certificate he’d ever signed. “He did it without her knowing,” he said bitterly. “Her own husband. And now my daughter… she’s sterile.” The words tasted like poison. Across from him, the scientist tapped through digital scans on the lab’s display screen, her brows furrowing. “Sterlix D. Type V strain,” she confirmed. “Advanced protocol—neural-hormonal suppression encoded at the epigenetic level. This isn’t a standard version. It’s designed to last a lifetime.”Ram’s voice dropped. “Then we find a way to reverse it. I didn’t come here to weep—I came to fix what was taken from her.”The scientist hesitated for a second, then began pacing the perimeter of the lab. “Traditional hormone therapies won’t work. Sterlix D silences the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis permanently. It makes the body forget it was ever capable of fertility. But—” She turned sharply. “There’s a prototype. Something I worked on before the regulators buried me: Anti-Sterlix X. A synthetic antibody that can target and deactivate the Sterlix markers. But for it to bind successfully, it needs a compatible mitochondrial signature.”Ram narrowed his eyes. “Meaning?”“A bloodline key,” the scientist explained. “Someone of close maternal lineage—ideally a sibling or the mother herself. The antibody needs a mitochondrial match to bypass the cellular immune barrier.”Ram’s face hardened. “Her mother’s still alive. But no—she can’t know. It would destroy her. She already worries that the girl married the wrong man. If she finds out what he did...” He trailed off, swallowing his emotion.The scientist nodded, respectful of the unspoken pain. “Then?”“She has a brother,” Ram said at last. “He’s thirty-three. Strong. Healthy.”“That’s more than enough,” the scientist replied. “We can extract mitochondrial markers from his blood sample and graft them onto the antibody chain. Once synthesized, the Anti-Sterlix X should bind cleanly. Her system could begin regenerating ovarian signals within weeks.”Ram didn’t hesitate. “What do you need?”“A Class-3 biosynthetic machine. Stem cell access. Twelve to fourteen hours of uninterrupted time. And complete secrecy. If the health authority catches wind, they’ll shut us down before we load the first sequence.”Ram stepped toward the door, his eyes focused. “I’ll get the equipment and my son’s blood.No one will know—not even his sister.”“And if it fails?” the scientist asked quietly.“Then it fails in silence,” Ram said. “But if it works... we return her right to choose. That’s all I want. Not motherhood. Not revenge. Just her choice—back in her hands.” The scientist looked at him, then turned toward her workstation.Ram sends a message to Adi and Amar asking them to meet in their meeting spot. He pockets his mobile and feels quite relaxed that somehow he found a way. Although unsure of where it would lead to.       Upra and Jagdeesh was still lost in their passionate kiss. Upra was the first to separate from him and with a blush she turned aside and tucked her hair looking away from him. Jagdeesh smiles at her flirtatious and his hands keeps tracing her exposed hip. Although Upra was burning within for his every single touch she was prepared for all of this from the moment she planned to use Jagdeesh. And him touching her inappropriatly isn't a new thing to her. Jagdeesh " Upra how long are you going to let me wait. Already I am hiding to my wife's family". Upra found it interesting and asked why? Without bothering his hands over her. Jagdeesh " My father in law asked me to attend a MOU in London. It's actually a month and a half work. As you said you can't be without me, I sent someone else on my behalf. But your still putting up a distance ". He feign disappointment. Upra uses this opportunity and talks in her seductive tone" baby even I need you, but... She pause and says Kajal... Why can't you divorce her" jagdeesh applies break and looks at her, and continues driving. In His mind " is she mad how can I divorce Kajal, daughter of a billionaire". I know you won't, Upra acts perfectly that even Jagdeesh fell for her act because of his lust. Finally he says I'll divorce her once I change some power of attorney from her to mine. Till that we have no option Upra, we have to see eachother just like this. Upra pulls him through his shirt and says I want to be yours soon Jagdeesh. Sure, definitely he says and finally halts the car. Upra sees a huge bungalow and raises her eyebrows. Jagdeesh comes to the other side and picks her up in his arms. As he keeps walking the sensor activates and locks when he Crossed  the passage. He puts her in his bed. Upra didn't show her fear, because above fear vengeance was standing tall.    As he got into her slowly, her mind was completely blank and all she thought was Amar. Thinking of him a drop of tears slippped from the corner of her eyes. She apologize silently to her parents. A man in black records everything that's happening between Jagdeesh and Upra. And he focuses on Upra's face and clicks some pictures. And finally before leaving the house, he loots all the jwellery and documents along with the cash. Who is this mysterious man? Is he the one who towed Amar? Let me know your opinion in the comment section.Upra's Revenge...
