Ryan's POV
I laid on the bed in my room and I heaved a sigh.
"I wish it was Alex that got the plague and not Jasmine."
I took my phone and I decided to call Dad to know how he's doing.
"Good evening Dad" I greeted immediately he picked up the phone.
🗨️ "Is Alexander Sanchez dead?" He asked.
"You didn't even reply my greetings."Â
🗨️ "Do not call me unless it's to announce the news of Alexander Sanchez's death" he said and ended called.
"Wow! What a strict father I've got" I said as I dropped the phone.
And then, an idea clicked in my head.
"Perfect!" I said as I quickly stood and left the room to the hospital wing.
I got there and I met Susan.
"Is anyone else here?" I asked.
"No, I am the only one, the rest of them are in the meeting room trying to find a cure for the bubonic plague" she replied.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" She asked.
"No, just don't let anyone know I came here" I said and she nodded.
I went to one of the rooms and dressed in plastic overall and mask to avoid contacting the bubonic plague.
Then I took an injection needle.
I went into the quarantined room, both Jasmine and the boy were unconscious in their respective bed.
I went to the boy's bed and took some of his blood with the injection needle.
And I left the room.
"Now how am I going to get this blood in contact with Alex?" I asked aloud.
"Susan!" I heard Alex called from the patient's ward.
"How are the patients doing?" I heard him asked and I suddenly got an I idea.
"Bingo" I said with a smile.
Still with my overall, I took a cup from one of the tables and went to the washroom.
I put some water in the cup and put all the blood from the needle into the cup.
I throwed the injection needle into the bin and removed the plastic overall then I took the cup and went to meet Alex.
Alex's POV
"How is Jasmine? Is she awake?" I asked Susan.
"No, she's still unconscious" she said and I nodded.
"Megan will be here soon to take care of the patients so you can go rest."Â
"Okay" she replied.
One of the doors suddenly opened and Ryan came out holding a cup.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Came to check on my patients, I am a doctor after all" he replied.
"I just didn't know you to be a hard-working doctor."
"Are you trying to say I'm lazy?" He asked.Â
"You know the answer to that" I said as I began to leave.
"Alex" Ryan called and I turned back.
And he suddenly poured the water in his cup all over my face.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled.
"Oops, slip of hand, I am really sorry, you should go clean up" he said but I wasn't convinced.
It was obvious he did it deliberately but I'm in no mood to fight now.
I walked back to my room and showered.
I change into a new cloth, took my laptop and went off to Andrew's room.
I don't plan on ever sleeping with that evil jerk.
"Are you okay doctor? You look tired" Andrew asked immediately I got into his room.
"I am tired but I can manage" I said as I sat on the chair and placed the laptop on the table and I started my research.
"Can I help you with the research?" Andrew asked.
"No Andrew, you can go to sleep" I said and he nodded.
I slowly opened my eyes and it's already morning.
I fell asleep on the chair while making my research.
I feel so tired and weak and gosh, I am running a high temperature.
I tried to stand up but I fell on the floor.
"What's wrong with me?"
My muscle feels so cramped and I felt my neck, it's swollen!
"Are you okay Alex?" Andrew asked as he came closer to me and was about touching me.
"Stay away from me!!" I yelled and he flinched.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"I think..... I think I've got the plague" I said and he looked at me wide-eyed.
