A Race to Melt Hearts

@@

Someone tugged my hand, I looked at Diana. "You're awake?"

"Give me…" she motioned for a drink; her voice was husky and low. Her eyes lost their usual shine, her face as pale as snow. She lost some weight too. I sighed, it's harder to take care of her than what I've expected to.

I loosen my hold of her hand and stood to get water from her kitchen. I placed the water on the side cabinet near her bed and helped her up. I slowly let her lean comfortably on the headrest of the bed. And pass a glass of water for consumption. This water isn't ordinary, the doctor advised me to put a few drops of a drug formulated to nourish her body. She drank from the glass.

"How are you feeling?" I set the glass aside

"I told you plain water will do, why did you put an HVxx23 Drug on it?"

"I was only following the doctor's advice" she glared at me more

"Bring me to my lab"

"No, you are strictly prohibited from moving. You cannot just wander around, I will not let you" she pulled my shirt, pulling my face inches from hers.

"I'll leave you with no choices, whether you help me or not I will still go. I only have 5 hours before the last batch of virus takes effect in my body. I have to formulate another toxin that would counter the artificial toxins produced by the virus."

"How can you counter something with its own form? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"I know the form of that drug through its effects. I wouldn't be one of those top notch assassins if I lack the capability of determining what virus I'll be encountering. Let's go, I don't have much time left to make the toxin. This will serve as an antidote to the virus."

I pulled a wheelchair from her storage room and helped her sit. Then we rushed towards the laboratory that she was saying. @@
