His eyes lingered on her with deep reluctance before he gave a heavy nod.

Lucas cast one last, lingering look at Sloane before finally turning away. The pain in his chest made every step
feel heavier than the last.
Sloane watched his figure disappear down the corridor. She forced herself to push down her emotions, then
turned back and threw herself into the work that awaited her.
The moment she returned, she adjusted the treatment plan. She also ordered the hospital to release regular
updates on the progress of all seventeen patients, even staging footage for the media that showed patients
undergoing “memory recovery training.”
Then she called every doctor into the conference room to discuss the next phase of treatment.
But once the doors closed, the fear everyone had been hiding finally surfaced.
“Dr. Rivers, are you absolutely sure about your conclusion?” Maxwell, a young attending physician, slammed the
table. The report in his hand trembled violently. “I've been practicing medicine for eight years, and I've never
seen a virus that can hide in the bloodstream like this!”
Head nurse Jesslyn clutched the collar of her protective suit so tightly her knuckles turned white. “Dr. Rivers, are

She let out a slow, shaky breath and pointed at the screen. “Look closely. These nanoscale viral particles have a
unique protein structure.” Her fingers trembled, but her voice carried steady determination as she traced the
outline. “They disguise themselves as neurotransmitters and can stay dormant for up to twenty- one days. But
what's worse-" She switched the slide to an animated model. “Once activated, they can spread through sweat,
saliva, and even a single breath. Its infection rate is nearly four times that of influenza.”
The room went dead silent. Maxwell's pen slipped from his fingers and hit the floor with a sharp crack.
“If...” Sloane's voice caught in her throat. She clenched her hand so hard her nails bit into her skin, forcing
herself to keep speaking. “If this virus ever gets out of this hospital, three days. That's all it would take. In three
days, every subway, every school, every marketplace in Stonebridge-” She broke off, unable to finish. The light
from the projector carved deep shadows across her face.
The doctors sat frozen, a chill crawling down their spines. None of them dared to picture the
