The female doctor shook her head and said, "He was rescued too late. He had been injected with too much poison and had been in the sea for one day and one night. The coldness had made the poison work faster."
"Faster?" Marvin frowned. "Didn't you say that the first stage will last a month?"
"It will be less than a month now." The female doctor shook her head with some regret. "If he doesn't wake up soon, he will probably go through the first course of treatment in bed."
Marvin's face suddenly turned pale.
He did not believe it. He grabbed the female doctor's arm tightly. His knees went soft, and he almost knelt down. But the doctor stopped him.
"Hey, Marvin, don't be like this..."
Marvin said earnestly, "Do something. He just made up with his wife. His life has just turned for the better. Nothing must happen to him."
"Marvin..." The female doctor looked troubled.
