Victorino awkwardly pushed on his glasses, coughed dryly and said, “Sorry, I didn’t know the lady was here, sorry to interrupt”.
After saying that, he quickly turned around and walked out.
Very fast.
Allyce, who was facing the door, opened her eyes when she heard Victorino’s “señor” and tried to push Severo away, but he did not move.
She tried to push Severo away, but he would not budge. It was only when Victorino had left the room that Severo finally released her.
He gave Severo a gentle slap and said with some grumbling, “Doctor Griego has just arrived and you still haven’t stopped”.
“It’s not my fault he’s rude himself.” Severus said nonchalantly, helping her to her feet.
If Victorino had knocked on the door, Severo would have stopped kissing Allyce because she is a very shy person.
…
The two tidied their clothes before Allyce opened the door to let Victorino in.
“Victorino, you can go in now. Allyce still had some embarrassment on her face.
If it had been Neto, he would have just teased her, as he likes to play anyway, but it was Griego, such a strict and disciplined doctor, who stumbled upon her. …
Victorino entered with a slight nod of his head.
Looking at Victorino’s white coat, Allyce was a little puzzled. Had Victorino left the research room because of Severo’s health condition and come to this sanatorium to watch over Severo?
After giving Severo the usual check-up, he hesitated for a moment before speaking seriously: “Sir, your current state of health is such that you need to recover.
After saying this, he added: “It is not suitable for exercise”.
The first sentence sounded good, but the second made Allyce blush with embarrassment.
He looked down, thinking what could be more humiliating than this? And they had just been sitting on the floor …
Victorino limited himself to giving Severo a routine medical check-up, so he did not say much about his health, but only gave some instructions about his daily contraindications and so on.
When he came out, Allyce brought Victorino out.
Allyce sent him to inquire about Severo’s condition, and no one knew more about Severo’s condition than Victorino.
Allyce followed Victorino out and, after closing the door behind her, Victorino turned to her with a stern, handsome face and said: “As you can see, the gentleman’s condition has deteriorated.
Allyce nodded, of course she knew Severo’s condition had worsened, it was obvious.
Victorino saw her nod his head before continuing: “The medicine I developed earlier to suppress the K1LU73 virus no longer works, his situation is very grim, his body is exhausted even though he rests carefully every day, but his mind, bodily functions, organs of his body, this situation is worsening day by day …”.
He said something else, but Allyce didn’t even feel like listening to him, it was enough for him to recognise Severo’s state.
Allyce choked: “Isn’t there another way to get the antidote?
After a pause, Allyce’s emotions suddenly spiked and she looked at him hopefully: “You’re not sure you can develop the antidote? You’re so capable, there’s no way you can’t develop an antidote.
His voice became shrill as he lost control of his temper with Victorino.
Victorino’s heart didn’t feel good either. Severo was a colleague, a friend and someone he respected, so even though Allyce suddenly lost control and shouted at him, he didn’t show the slightest bit of anger.
A flash of self-recrimination crossed his eyes and he lowered his glasses, his voice a little lower: “I’m sorry, I haven’t developed an antidote yet, and the man doesn’t have much time left, he’ll be an old man in half a month at the most”.
Looking at Allyce’s deathly pale face, Victorino continued, though he felt a little uncomfortable: “An old man with white hair and a body that has failed to the extreme is the end of life.
Crash!
Allyce’s tears kept falling like broken beads, hitting the floor at once, but she wasn’t crying, there wasn’t even an expression on her face.
However, the look of her silent tears made Victorino feel a desperate sadness …
Victorino tried to console her, “Ma’am, you …”.
However, Allyce interrupted him: “You said there were fifteen days left?
“A fortnight at the most, but that is only a prediction, the time I can be completely sure of is ten days, a fortnight is possible if Monsieur can remain cheerful and no other surprises arise.”
“I see.” Allyce nodded with difficulty.
Whether it was ten days or a fortnight, it was such a short time that Allyce found it hard to breathe.
It was too brief.
But even if it was short, wasn’t there still a fortnight to go? If not, there were still ten more days.
Victorino saw Allyce’s face that refused to admit defeat, he thought for a moment and said, “Madam, there is another way to get the K1LU73 virus formula, if we can get the formula, then we are half way there, even if we can’t develop an antidote immediately, there is still a way to monitor the gentleman’s health status.”
Victorino had talked to Severo about the K1LU73 virus formula some time ago.
But after almost two months, Severo had not even found the formula, let alone the antidote, and Severo’s condition was getting worse by the day, so there was no way to delay it for a few days.
Severo hasn’t found it, so what can the Allyce woman do?
It was a way of life and a way of death.
At these words, Allyce’s eyes lit up.
He tugged Victorino’s shirt excitedly and said aloud, “We just need to find the formula for the K1LU73 virus?”
Seeing Victorino’s affirmative movement, Allyce was pleased in an instant.
He knew that someone as powerful as Severo could not just wait for death.
Wasn’t Delfina still in Severo’s hands?
He could use Delfina to threaten Adam to find the formula for the K1LU73 virus.
Adam cares so much about Delfina, he must be able to get the formula for the K1LU73 virus, he must be able to!
Without bothering to say goodbye to Victorino, Allyce pulled out her phone and headed the other way, dialling Adam’s number as she went.
But the phone doesn’t work.
Once, twice, three times …
She didn’t know how many times she had called, she had gone from being confident at the beginning to terrified at the end.
He shouted on the other end of the line: “Adam, if you don’t find the formula for the K1LU73 virus in ten days, you’ll be waiting for Delfina’s corpse! Do you hear me? You only have ten days, not a day more!”
