There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure. I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time.

Amanda sniff and looked at Emma. Her eyes had turned red and swollen from continuous weeping. "Thank you." She sniffed, making her voice difficult to hear. However, the distance between her and Emma was not much. So Emma heard her.

"Don't mention. I'm just doing my part." Emma waved his hand unceremoniously. "But crying those not suit a beautiful lady like you."

Amanda had a slight smile on her pretty red lips. Her heart fluttered when she heard Emma called her beautiful. "Thank you." She avoided Emma's gaze.

"You don't need to think about where to stay any longer. I have provided a place for you and your mum." Emma paused, bring out his phone. "I have sent you the location of the house. Also, all your luggage had been sent there."

Hearing this, Amanda was amazed. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. Only to sigh. Having read her thoughts.

"You don't have to thank me or anything. I only need your trust and do your job wholeheartedly," Emma announced.

Amanda nodded. But she raised her brow. "What about the viper gang?"

"Leave them to me."

"Ok."

"if you need anything. Don't hesitate to inform me. Will you go to work tomorrow?" Emma asked.

>>Why would you ask that? Don't you see that what happens to her mother really hit her hard… Don't you have human feelings…Tsk.

'I know. But humans are unpredictable beings. I'm just asking so that I could make plans ahead.

Amanda was quiet when she heard Emma's question. She was in a dilemma of what to do. She wanted to stay by her mother's bedside.

However, she had already informed the job-seeking agency to find her suitable people for the available vacant post in the office. Besides, she didn't want to offend Emma because of her mother's health.

Seeing her trouble look. Emma understand what was going on in her mind.

"If you're worried about your mother. You don't need that. Your mother will probably wake up before midnight. So, you will have a nice chat with your mama. However, if you still decided to stay by her side tomorrow, no problem. A day off won't affect the plan." Emma convinced her with a slight smile.

>>That more like it. Hmm, you're still redeemable.

Emma: '..'

Amanda sighed. She looked at Emma gratefully and say "I don't want to be selfish, but… If my mother wakes up before tomorrow morning. I will go to work. But if not. I would like to stay by her side tomorrow when she wakes up. I want to be the first person she sees."

Emma nodded in understanding of her situation. "No problem." With that. Emma left the hospital room. He got a lot of things on his plate right now. He couldn't babysit Amanda.

Watching the backside of Emma, Amanda sighed, turning her head, and looked at her mother's peaceful face in agony. Tears dripped from her eyes as she caressed her mother's palm softly. 'Mother, this will be the last time you suffer because of me.' She vowed in her mind.

Inside the sanctuary, Emma had installed the Elementor pen writing board on the left side of the glass room. Emma connected the board with Zeus, synchronizing everything done on the board with the main server.

Currently, Emma was writing various complex equations on the board. It had been three hours since he returned from the hospital and he had started working on his research.

>>Ding*

>>*Daily Mission completed. 20 exp.

>>Keep up the good work.

Emma stopped briefly and looked at the notification. Quickly, he resumed his work, placing the notification behind his mind. Emma's hand danced on the board swiftly, pouring calculation on the board. The creaking sound of pen dancing on the solid glass board with the steady breathing of Emma filled the room.

5 hours later.

[[Master, you need to rest. It already 5 hours you have been working.]] Zeus reminded.

Without stopping what was he was doing. "Don't disturb me. Notify me when there is an urgent need for my attention. And notify me of anything that we can use against the viper gang. Anything from that, I don't want to hear." Emma said firmly.

[[..Ok..]]

>>You need to rest, though. But what are you working on? You've changed… you're not the Emma I know. Will you like to talk about it… Hmm?

Emma ignored Lily and continued to write various mathematics and physics equations on the board. After a few minutes, Emma whispered some indistinct words. 2 hours later, Emma was still working on the equation.

"Zeus, get me file Optic nebular imaginary particles," Emma command while his pen stopped on the board. Beads of sweats were all over his head. His eyes reflected a lot of fatigue.

[[File loaded.]]

>> What are you doing… I may help.

'Sensors.' Emma replied casually.

>>..W-What!

Lily was dumbfounded.

Emma ignored Lily's reactions, merging the new file with his equations. He wiped off the sweats from his forehead. 'I hope it worked.'

"Run the file in simulation 3A01"

[[Simulation initializing…. Simulation commencing in… 10…9…8…7…6...5…4….3…2…1...0. Running Sensor paralaz 0.01x]]

>>What type of sensors are you working on??

'The next revolutionary sensors. Motion, sound, predictive and analyst imaginary sensor and parallax wave interpretations.'

>>..W-What...

'Yeah. I know it a lot but… I believe it doable.'

>>… That...I don't know what to say…

'You don't need to say anything.' Emma replied while his eyes never left the simulation on the screen.

[[Simulation failed. Error. Error. Simulation failed.]]

*****Author Note*****

Please, I'm getting some feedback about the name of the MC (Emma), saying it's a female name. But the name has a backstory that is why I use it. But I got a suggestion that I could probably use a name like Manuel or Manny.

Should I change it or not?

Please, I need your feedback
