As on countless occasions yesterday, what seemed like a long road in endless iterations has finally come to a triumphant end!
First, a vaccine was developed against the rabies virus in cats, but the vaccine was not used on a large scale to develop antibodies for human use.
While the nation rejoiced, the reversal came so unexpectedly that the first injections of antibodies were not effective….
Charles was psychologically prepared, and this batch of antibodies he did not give to the girl, but he could not help but feel a bit disappointed to see such a result….
So much effort, manpower, material and financial resources have been invested….
In the evening, Anlandana’s friends send a group video and Alba anxiously asks about the test results:
-How did it go? Come on, let’s see Micaela….
Micaela turned into a cat, Anlandana’s friends in that the next day, in the mouth of Carlos know, everyone is anxious, every day they are worried about this side of the news, Alba, this is not religious people, they have started to burn incense every day to pray, just hope that Micaela recovered quickly …
To Alba’s relief, Micaela still recognized her, every time she videotaped her, she looked at her, smiled at her, and once she sent her dried fish through the screen, which made Alba very happy, if she was not pregnant with her second child, and Ernesto did not want to see her tired from the trip, and with the current situation of Salamonsa, which does not let anyone in, she would have had to fly to receive the Dried Fish ….
Carlos said to all those who were watching the screen with a shrinking heart:
-Failed, the first injections did not have the slightest effect…..
The expectation on the faces of the friends on the other end of the phone dissipated and a look of loss appeared…
After a long moment, Ernesto sighed and said:
-Hey, looks like he hit the nail on the head to those two fortune tellers, ‘A match made in heaven, good things come in threes’, look at you guys, one forgets her, sees her for the first time, and still falls in love with her, another becomes a cat, and still loves you, Carlos, grind slowly, drops of water can penetrate stones, you guys can always grind to rain after the sky is clear.
A match made in heaven, a good thing?
Carlos pondered the words, looked at the girl next to him, who was watching Cat and Mouse on her ipad with Mike, and nodded, regaining confidence….
Days passed, the research team kept changing the structure of the antibody, repeated the trials, and after another three months, it was time for the seventh injection of the antibody to patients who had received consent from their families.
In the testing room, a male patient was tied up and sitting in a chair, his condition was more serious, although he had not been bitten by a cat, he was still aggressive, he was looking at the people around him with scarlet eyes, and he was still struggling, and his mouth was covered, but he was still doing.
Carlos was next to Nilson, who had approached on purpose, and watched nervously as Thiago came up behind the man and stuck a needle into his bare arm….
Because of the pain, the man struggles harder and harder, grazing with his head to bite Thiago, but his mouth is covered….
One minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, the man’s struggles became fainter and fainter, little by little his head drooped and he seemed to fall asleep….
The reaction, unlike any previous experiment?
Everyone’s heart hung in the air….
No one left the lab, everyone watched here, watching him, more than an hour later, the man slowly raised his head, everyone immediately a few points closer, saw his scarlet eyes have returned to normal, fierce expression is gone, full of shock looking at the people around, finally, eyes rested on his own mother beside him, tears fell …
Everyone’s heart shrank as Thiago stepped forward and ripped the tape from his mouth and immediately looked in his mother’s direction and burst into tears:
-Mom…
The woman also cried, jumped up and hugged him, mother and son hugged each other and cried….
The laboratory resounded with applause and cheers, it is a great advance, the dawn of victory is near….
Nilson couldn’t help but reach out and hug Carlos at his side, incoherent with emotion:
-Carlos, great! Great, Moya can get back to normal!
Halfway through, sensing that the gesture was too intimate, that Carlos and he weren’t close enough for that, no, he hadn’t been that close to anyone except with Lluvia, he hastily stepped back and coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment.
Carlos’ heart swelled with the same joy and he had no time for Nilson’s gesture, looking at Thiago, he asked:
-Shall I bring Micaela for an injection?
