Chapter Title: A Fraction of Me (1)

Chapter no. 1

(Prologue)

(Elizabeth's POV)

I was a major general.

A favored daughter of my father, and the most pampered child of my mother who passed away due to cancer of the blood. My siblings and I grew apart, I was the odd one among them and they don't usually get close with each other, so how much more having a close relationship with me? I became the center of my father's attention since I resembled my mother so well and I got her amazing IQ.

My dad was a proud man who did every righteous thing to keep the economy on top of the market. And I learned my amazing business skills from him. Before I officially signed myself to join military I was once a vice president in a large manufacturing corporation that my family owns. We eligibly hold a multinational corporation and a transnational corporation that eventually gave us a boundless wealth, it even proudly gave mass job hiring to the citizens which made everyone happy.

A large manufacturing corporation is a major player which sell goods and manufacture products. Production is done in developing countries all over the world where taxes are low, so we can make a higher profit and sell the goods/ products/ services in developed countries where people have disposable income; North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Disposable personal income is a key economic indicator used to gauge the overall condition of the economy that helps us determine high-end places where we can distribute products efficiently.

My eldest brother, James Lee controls a LEE-MNC; a global corporation that owns and controls production of goods and services in one or more countries aside from our country. While my eldest sister, Grace Lee take good care of LEE-TNC; a commercial enterprise that operates substantial facilities that does not consider any particular country.

Too much of the business talk.

I missed my mom.

She was once a surgeon who taught me medicine in the most complicated way.

But life was complicated. Five years ago I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), it is a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Acute lymphocytic leukemia is a common type of cancer which usually occurs in children, and treatments result in a good chance of being cured. But when it occurs during adulthood the chances of being cured is greatly reduced. Usually ALL occurs when a bone marrow cell develop errors in its DNA, these errors make the cells grow and divide rapidly, and the healthy cells would suddenly stop dividing and die. Then the blood reproduction becomes abnormal and the bone marrow will reproduce premature cells that develop into leukemic white bloods cells. These abnormal cells are not capable of functioning properly and eventually they will build up and crowd the remaining healthy cells.

Yes my mother died because of blood cancer but I wasn't a carrier of her recessive genes. And there were no studies affirming that cancer cells are hereditary. I did not have any symptoms since I was a child too, so the problem is not in my genetic inheritance.

I got ALL because of a military mission.
