-Something happened? - Mike asked when we entered.
-Lila could get infected. The glass from the test tube hit her finger.
-Do you pulled it out?
- No, it's too deep.
-Let me try. - Mike said and took the tweezers. I held out my hand to him. The finger in which the glass was already turned red. Mike was able to pull out the glass very quickly. As soon as the glass was removed from the wound, blood began to flow. Mike wiped the blood with a cotton swab, treated with iodine and glued the patch.
-Thank.
-It's my pleasure. You’ll come again tomorrow morning.
-What for?
-Will need to check the blood for the virus.
-Good.
-And now you can’t? - Ian asked.
-Now it's impossible.
-Why?
- Very little time has passed.
-Clear. Come on. - Ian told me.
Then we went to Yen's former room. There we talked a little, and I went to dinner. Nellie made me dinner. I was not allowed, for some reason, to cook, especially against, was Nellie, so she always cooked herself. I went into the kitchen, and Ian left somewhere, leaving me alone with Nelly. I started to eat. In about ten to fifteen minutes I ate.
-Yummy? - asked Nellie.
-Highly! Thank. - I said with a smile. “I'm going, I’ll find Yen.”
-Yes, he's in the lab.
-Thanks, you have facilitated my search.
-It's my pleasure.
I went out and headed to the lab. When I got closer to the laboratory, I heard Ian talk to Mike, it even seemed like an argument.
- Why aren't you doing anything? You know that later it may be too late! - Ian told Mike.
- Now it will be very difficult to find him, if possible.
-Well, what if she was already infected?
- In any case, until tomorrow morning we will not know!
-But there is no medicine even against this virus!
- You have to hope for the best.
-If we delay, then there will be nothing to hope for!
- In any case, we have time.
-What time? Day? Two? Can you find a cure during this time ?!
-I'll try.
-But it's not real!
-Okay, call Leela.
-What will you do?
- I'll take the blood.
-Clear. I'll call you now.
- I don’t need to call. - I said, entering the laboratory.
- Did you hear everything? - Ian asked.
-Yes.
-Give your hand. - Mike said and I held out his hand.
Mike peeled off the patch from the finger where the glass was and poked the finger a little harder. Then he took a tube with which blood was taken from his finger, and began to squeeze blood from his finger.
“Ah ...” I squealed softly as Mike pressed hard on his finger.
-Sorry. - Mike said and let go of his hand.
-All? I asked.
-Yes. You can go. - Mike turned to me. - Lead Leela and come back. - He turned to Ian.
-Good. Come on. - Ian told me.
We went to a room that was already mine. As soon as we entered the room, Ian kissed my cheek, wished me goodnight and left, and I took a shower and went to bed. In the morning, when I woke up, I washed and had breakfast.
-Yen in the lab. Nellie said when I asked if she knew where Ian was.
-Thank. - I said and went to the laboratory.
Ian and Mike were arguing about something again.
-Well, and what is my diagnosis? I asked when I went inside. But they looked at me like that, as if I had said some utter stupidity.
“Leela ...” Ian began but didn’t finish.
- You better get a blood transfusion. - continued Mike.
-What for? I asked.
- I found in your blood the very virus that causes a cell mutation. - Mike answered.
-Clear. When is the transfusion?
-The faster the better. Therefore, if you do not mind, then right now.
-Yes of course.
After some time, they gave me a transfusion and I fell asleep. I woke up in my room after a couple of hours. Ian sat beside my bed and thought about something, but as soon as he noticed that I was not sleeping, he asked:
-How do you feel?
- The head is spinning a bit.
-Well, this is probably normal.
-Yes of course.
-I will bring you tea.
-Good.
Ian is gone. I tried to get up. Although my head was spinning a bit, I reached the toilet. Then I went into the bathroom and washed my face.
-Lila, why did you get up? - Ian asked when he found me in the bathroom.
-I am able to move myself. - I answered him so that he would not be too worried.
“But maybe you still lie down until your strength is restored.” - He worried about me.
-Good. But do not worry so much. If I am a person, this does not mean anything.
-Yes. Sure. Ian said, and taking me by the waist, he led me into the room. It takes care of me like a little one!
I drank tea and lay back in bed. An hour later, the dizziness passed, and I began to feel good. Despite the fact that Ian was sitting nearby, I decided to get up anyway.
-Why are you getting up? Ian said, getting out of bed.
-Well, I can’t lie like this forever, and I already feel good.
- Right?
-Yes for sure, for sure. I’m not small to worry so much about me!
- You're the same person.
