The doctor frowned, looking nervous.
This venomous snake is particularly cruel. It doesn't kill people immediately, but rather tortures them slowly, like a slow and painful execution.
Just now, I have already lost nine of my close friends and families who didn't receive the life-saving antivenom in time.
Some of them were my aunt and cousin, and two of them were my closest friends.
Now, my parents were still lying in bed, struggling to hold on.
I couldn't help but feel sad, so I forced myself to stay strong and pinched my thigh.
"Doctor, please wait. The antivenom is coming soon," I said.
"Don't worry, I know the person in charge of the antivenom supply channel, and he has promised to send it over immediately."
Oscar was my boyfriend of many years, and he was also the person in charge of this antivenom supply channel.
Two hours ago, when I heard the news, I thought there was still hope.
But until now, nine bodies have already been laid in the morgue, and I haven't seen Oscar or the antivenom he was bringing.
I kept comforting myself that he would come, and that he was just delayed by something on the way.
