Emma's POV
I ran to the hospital wing immediately I received the call from Alex.
"You've found a drug that can cure it?" I asked standing outside the glass door.
"Yeah, all we needed was a very strong antibiotics that kill the bacteria and repair..."
"Just tell me the drugs you need" I said interrupting him.
"Streptomycin and doxycycline injection" he said.
"Okay, I'll be back with it soon." I said as I quickly walked out and went to meet Nathan and Megan attending to a patient.
"Do we have streptomycin and doxycycline injection available here?" I asked.
"Those are rare drugs, you barely see those drugs around nowadays" Nathan said.
"What do you need the drugs for?" Megan asked.
"Alex found the cure for the bubonic plague, we need to get those injections and administer it to them before nightfall" I said.
"We don't have those injections here" Nathan said.
"What about the millitary headquarters where the Captain went to carry out the bubonic plague cause we do not have the required equipment, they might have the drugs" Megan said.
"Where's the Captain?" I asked.
"He went out with some of the soldiers but he should be back by now" Nathan said.
"I'll go check" I said as I ran out of the hospital wing.
"Where are you going in such a hurry sweetheart?" Ryan asked as I bumped into him outside the hospital.
"Where's the Captain?" I asked.
"Why are you looking for him?" He asked.
"Just answer the damn question Ryan!" I yelled.
Two military Captain suddenly drove in and the Captain came out of one of the cars.
"Thank God you are here Captain, I've been looking for you" I said.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Can you find out if the military headquarters has streptomycin and doxycycline injection?"
"What's the injection for?" Ryan asked but I ignored him.
"Lemme make a call to find out" the Captain said as he brought out his phone and dialled a number.
"Is the drugs available there?" I asked immediately he finished the call.
"Luckily, yes, what's the drugs for?" He asked.
"It's a cure for the bubonic plague we have to go there and get it immediately."
"Cure?" Ryan asked surprised. "Bubonic plague has no cure."
"Alex found a cure, he isn't as dumb as you are after all" I said and them turned to the Captain. "Let's go Captain."
Captain and I entered one of the cars and drove straight to the military headquarters with high-speed and we got there in less than an hour.
"What brings you here Captain?" A soldier who seems to be of higher rank than the Captain asked.
"To get some drugs from the infirmary" Captain replied.
"I was actually about to call for you Amir, some Taliban forces were spotted close to your camps" the man said.
"I'll take out a soldiers search for them and kill them when I return back to the camp" Captain said.
"Great, you can go to the infirmary, don't let me keep you waiting" the man said and Captain saluted and we left.
We got to the infirmary and luckily we got the injections.
We entered the car and Captain drove back to the camp.
"I am taking my men out for a patrol so go inject those drugs to the infected ones." He said as he parked the car in the camp and I nodded.
I quickly went to the hospital wing and met Andrew and Megan.
"You got the drugs?" Megan asked and I nodded.
"Let's go then" Andrew said and we went to the room where the protective overalls were kept and we wore them and went to the quarantined room.
"Got the drugs?" Alex asked weakly.
He was sitting beside Jasmine who was unconscious.
"What happened to Jasmine?" I asked.
"She lost consciousness few minutes ago" Alex replied.
Andrew went to inject the boy, Megan injected Jasmine while I injected Alex.
"Told you I won't let you die, I saved you" I said as I injected him.
"Actually, I found the cure so technically I saved myself" he replied and I smiled.
"Well, who gave you the will to live?" I asked raising my brows.
"Talking about the will to live, you owe me answers to alot of questions" he said.
"And I'll answer them once you are out of this room."
"I'll have to get out of here fast then, since the drug has been administered, let's wait till tomorrow to see the effects" he said.
Alex's POV
"Do you want to lay on the bed?" Andrew asked.
"No, I'll just continue sitting here beside Jasmine" I replied and he nodded.
They left the room and I was left alone with Jasmine and the boy.
I stared at Jasmine.
Even though she's unconscious, she remains so beautiful.
How could someone be so pretty and innocent at the same time.
I continued staring at her till I dozed off...
I slowly opened my eyes and met Jasmine sitting on her bed and staring at me close to my face.
"Jasmine! Are you okay?" I asked as I quickly held her hands.
"Yeah, I feel much better, I guess the drugs are working" she said.
"We will be alright soon Jasmine" I assured.
"Yeah, all thanks to my amazing doctor" she said with a smile and I chuckled.
"How long have you been awake?" I asked.
"Been long, I woke up to see you sleeping on the chair" she replied.
"So what were you doing all the time I was asleep?"
"The boy was conscious momentarily and I checked up on him."
"And after that?" I asked raising my brows.
"Well I just sat down" she said.
"You just sat staring at your amazing doctor?" I asked and she laughed.
"What's wrong with you Alex, you are becoming extremely cheesy for your personality" she said.
"I know right, what's wrong with me."
"But I kinda like this new side of you" she said and I smiled.
"So, about that passionate hug in the morning..." I said but she quickly interrupted me.
"I am suddenly feeling sleepy, I should probably go to sleep." She quickly said as she tried to lay down but I held her hand arm.
"You don't want to talk about the lovely hug?" I asked.
"Wha..... what lovely hug? What passionate hug?" She retorted.
"You don't remember hugging me?" I asked and she nodded nervously.
"Yeah, I don't remember" she said.
"Let me remind you then" I said as I moved closer to her and kissed her on the head.
