Angie didn't want to just sit and wait until German dies in the hospital so he decided to do something about it.

She has been working on an elixir for the company before, but since it was about to close down after everything that they were doing came out to the media she couldn't finish it.

She quickly tried to find people that can help her and her old colleagues were ready to help her and on the same day they all got together to continue work on this elixir, but on a different way.

- Making a medicine? - asked one of them.

- Why would you make an actual medicine from this? - questioned the other - And how do you want to do it?

- Remember what I said in the phone - said Angie seriously - The person that saved your lifes is dying because of the people we have been working for! He nearly died while helping us!

- He only did that for his dead daughter - groaned the grumpy one - Not because of us...

- That's not true! Now... Will you help me, or not?!

The grumpy one grew quiet, but the others agreed to help which made Angie relieved, but still didn't calm her down as they still had a lot to do in a very short time.

Angie felt happy that they agreed to help her at the end, but she couldn't calm down.

She had a lot to do and also wanted to be there for German every time when he was awake and wanted to see him.

It was hard to keep up and she could barely sleep, but she went with it.

She went with it because she wanted to save him, although she also saw they don't have too much time left.

----- TIME SKIP -----

2 weeks since German has been struggling between life and death and by now his heart was beating very slowly.

Angie wasn't allowed inside his room anymore, but some doctors and nurses were around him.

One of the doctors, called William was actually Angie's cousin and he has been also trying to actually help German to survive, even though his co-workers thought he's crazy.

- German, German! - he talked to him - You have to stay alive, understood?! You make Angie happy! You can't die here!

German couldn't speak anymore.

He was so weak that he could barely breath and if it wasn't enough he was blind by now.

The radioactivity in his body was slowly destroying him from the inside.

Life was slowly disappearing from him.

Nobody knew what's going on.

Until a long beep cut the everything off...
