Our Marriage's Final Chapter

During the Easter, the whole village suffered from uremia due to drinking contaminated water.

The only effective medicine is only available from the company of Kyle Iversen.

However, he broke his promise to deliver the medicine on that day.

Bodies were being transported to the morgue one by one, and I didn't know what to do.

Meanwhile, my parents were critically ill again, so I called him for help.

But I heard Bethany Page, his unforgettable first love, say, "Kyle's taking a shower, do you need anything?"

I felt cold all over and questioned, "Wasn't he supposed to come and deliver the medicine...?"

Soon, Kyle's voice came through, "I was busy and forgot. I'll have someone bring it to you later."

But it was already too late.

That day, I lost all my loved ones.

——

"If there is no more medicine, no one will be saved!" The attending doctor urged me again.

"There is no miracle drug, even if the gods come, they can't save this disease."

He was right.

This disease was fatal.

Out of the 72 people in the village, 59 died last night.

I stood in the corridor, watching one body after another being taken to the morgue.

They were all my neighbors in the village.

Some of them once held me when I was a little kid, and some gave me candy.

I could only watch them die helplessly.

And then, it's my parents and my younger brother and sister's turn.

My originally dull eyes slowly focused.

"Doctor, please make sure to save them. I'll go find the medicine right away."

He didn't say anything, just glanced at me and sighed deeply before leaving.

I knew he didn't believe me anymore.

I've said this too many times. If the medicine could be obtained, it would have been obtained long ago.

Kyle, who promised to deliver the medicine, was nowhere to be seen.

I couldn't reach him on the phone, so I called his assistant.

After learning that he received my call, he left in a hurry with the medicine. And no one knew where he was.

Now I not only had to worry about him not coming, but also worry about his safety.

59 people died tragically overnight, but I didn't have time to mourn.

Because a new round of critical illness has started again.

I kept calling him.

I called until my phone was about to power down.

Still, no one answered.

Just when I was about to collapse, I heard Bethany's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Kyle is taking a shower, do you need something?"

She and Kyle grew up together, and she was his unforgettable first love.

Her tone was arrogant, as if she had caught a mistress.

But I was clearly Kyle's girlfriend.

At this moment, I didn't care what they have done.

Knowing that he was safe, I breathed a sigh of relief.

I urgently asked, "Where is Kyle? Didn't he promise to come and deliver the medicine?"

There was a noise over there, and Kyle answered the phone, "I forgot it, why are you yelling at Bethany?"

I listened to his words, my mind went blank.

No time to question him.

I pleaded desperately, "Kyle, my parents and sister are in urgent condition. The doctor said if there is no more medicine, they will..."

I haven't finished speaking.

Kyle interrupted me, "I know."

I was afraid that he will forget about this matter soon.

I repeated again. "Please, you must be quick, they can't hold on much longer..."

But Kyle was annoyed by me. "Are you annoying? Are you done? If you say one more word, I won't deliver it."

I held my breath, afraid to utter a word of complaint.

"Kyle, it seems like the goldfish is about to die."

"No, it must still have a chance to survive."

Kyle's voice was the gentlest I had ever heard.

I didn't hang up the phone either, quietly listening to Kyle comforting her for a long time.

Long enough for the doctor to come out and ask if the medicine had been delivered.

"Kyle, the medicine..."

Before I could finish my sentence, the phone was hung up.
