UNNOTICED MUTATION

Doctor Gill William tried every medical treatment, every experimental drug, and every 

possible medicine to save Lisa. But as minutes turned into hours and hours turned into 

days, the days turned into weeks, he knew he was running out of options 

and time. One day, while researching ancient medicines, he stumbled upon a modified text 

that mentioned a rare herb, hidden deep within the rare plants, with extraordinary healing 

properties. Desperate to save Lisa, Doctor  William was set out on a mission to create 

medicine that would heal his wife and their unborn baby. He packed his bag early in the 

morning, said goodbye to his sleeping wife, and ventured into the dense forest across the 

city to gather the remarkable healing properties of certain herbs, hoping against hope. 

As he ventured into the forest, the dense foliage welcomed him, and the sounds of the city 

faded away. He walked for hours, his eyes scanning the forest floor, top of the trees and 

within springs for any sign of the herbs. The sun beat down on him, and exhaustion began 

to take its toll. While he searching through the underbrush, his eyes landed on a 

shimmering crystal nestled among the leaves. Interested, he picked it up, feeling an 

inexplicable pull towards it and placed it in his pocket. 

After getting the herbs Doctor  William rushed back to his home, eager to begin testing the 

rare herbs he had collected from the forest. He placed the crystal aside on the table and 

started sorting the herbs with precision. As he worked, his focus narrowed to the task at 

hand, and he became completely absorbed in categorizing, boiling, and preparing the 

herbs for testing. Minutes passed, and the room grew warmer, the air thickening with the 

scent of boiling herbs. Doctor  William didn't mind the rising temperature, too 

engrossed in his work. The crystal, forgotten on the table, began to melt, its edges growing 

soft and pliable. As the heat intensified, the crystal started to drip, its gooey tendrils 

stretching down towards the herbs below. Doctor  William, still oblivious, continued his 

work, carefully measuring out portions and recording his findings. Unbeknownst to Gill, the 

crystal mixed with ancient properties, infused the herbs with its energy, enhancing their 

potency. Doctor  William, driven by his love for Lisa and their unborn baby, and his 

determination to save them, conducted rigorous tests on the new batch of herbs, unaware 

of the crystal's influence. He worked tirelessly, day and night, pushing his skills as a 

scientist to the ultimate test. Finally, after a day and night of testing, the results were in - a 

staggering 91.567% positive test rate. Doctor  William couldn't believe his eyes; the 

medicine was more effective than he could have ever imagined. With trembling hands, he 

made out a tablet , his heart racing with anticipation. He rushed to Lisa's side, placed the 

medicine into her mouth so that it dissolves and then she swallows it. 

After Lisa swallowing the medicine, the crystal cells within the medicine separated from it 

and traveled through her bloodstream, reaching the womb. There, they mingled with the 

cells of her unborn baby, causing a sudden, unexpected mutation. As the baby's cells 

began to transform, Doctor  William remained unaware of the subtle changes taking place 

on the baby because Lisa began to experience a remarkable recovery. Her vital signs 

stabilized. The medicine seemed to be working 

wonders on her. The baby's development was altering in ways that would only become 

apparent later. Doctor  William overjoyed the recovery of Lisa, he checked on the baby and 

he was completely fine. 

Doctor  William sat beside his wife, on the hospital bed, relief washing over him as he held 

her hand. "I'm so glad you're okay after that accident," he said, his voice filled with emotion. 

Lisa smiled weakly, still shaken. "I'm feeling much better, thanks to you. But what 

happened? One minute I was in a taxi, and the next, I was waking up in your laboratory." 

Doctor  William explained the details of the accident and the treatment she received. Lisa 

listened intently, her eyes locked on her husband. He reassured Lisa that their unborn baby 

was fine and that she would make a full recovery. Lisa's eyes sparkled with tears as she 

squeezed his hand. “I’m excited,” she whispered. “and a bit nervous, but knowing you're 

here with me makes all difference.” Days passed, and the Lisa's health continued to 

improve. Eventually, the nine months came and she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. "We 

need to name him something special," Lisa said, on the hospital bed, beaming with joy as 

they gazed at their newborn baby boy. "I've been thinking about that," Doctor  William 

replied, "and I keep coming back to James. It's a strong, classic name that suits him 

perfectly." "I love it!" Lisa exclaimed. "And what about a middle 

name?" Doctor  William thought for a moment before suggesting, "How about Williams? It's 

my grandfather's name, and I've 

always wanted to honor him in some way." Lisa face lit up. "James Williams is perfect! It 

sounds so handsome and 

dignified.” The family was overjoyed, and their happiness was 

palpable. 

However, James was a baby like no others. From the moment he entered the world, he was 

sensitive to every sensation, every 

touch, and every feeling. Whenever he experienced physical pain, he would cry 

uncontrollably, louder and longer than other babies. His parents, Lisa and Doctor  William, 

would try to soothe him, but nothing seemed to work for long. As the months went by, 

Doctor  William and Lisa grew accustomed to James' intense reactions. They thought it was 

just a normal aspect of his personality, that he was simply more emotional than other 

babies. To alleviate his distress, they would administer painkillers, which seemed to help 

calm him down.
