Madeline:
Honestly, I was stunned by their actions. It reeked of entitlement, cluelessness, and arrogance.
The way those people treated me, like I was just some tea vendor, snatching from me and refusing to listen, honestly left me deeply disappointed.
It felt like all this time I had been helping people who did not deserve it.
If this had not been about the children, I might never have helped them at all.
The first time they wronged me, I only endured it for the sake of those children.
No matter how many times I requested them to give me the cure back, they kept pushing me away.
"We got the cure!" the man yelled, informing anyone who had not heard.
That was when Sean finally got out of the car.
"That is enough!" he shouted.
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
"Give us back what you stole from us!" he warned, pointing at the cure.
The man looked at the women standing with him, then at the men on the side.
After that, they all started shaking their heads.
"No, this is the cure for our children," the man replied arrogantly.
"Give it to me, he will not be able to steal it from me!" one of the women yelled, trying to snatch the cure, probably to hide it in her bra so none of us could reach it.
The moment she snatched it from the man’s hand, and moved it to her bra, she dropped it.
The bottle shattered, making me gasp. The hair on the back of my neck stood up.
The crowd had become so restless that a stampede had almost begun, but the moment the bottle shattered, everyone went silent.
Then I saw it. The liquid had spread across the ground.
"No, no, no, no. This cannot be," I cried, pushing the woman away and dropping to my knees.
I tried to soak the liquid into the hem of my dress, trying to save some of it, but it dried too quickly, almost like magic.
Right in front of my eyes, the cure was wasted.
I lifted my head and looked at Sean. I saw the same anger on his face.
After looking at me, he turned toward the man responsible for all of this, the one who had taken it from me in the first place.
He could not say anything more, but he grabbed the man by the collar.
"How fucking dare you? Do you have any idea what you have done?" he shouted.
"Because of you, an innocent soul might not survive anymore."
Sean’s words fell heavy on me, and I realized that what he was saying was the truth.
I pulled out my phone to check the time and to inform the hospital to buy more time.
I knew it would take hours, but if we hurried, we could make it to the valley and get the cure again.
I waited for Sean to finish the call while people around us whispered, complaining about how ridiculous it was that I was not helping them.
"What?" Sean snapped into the phone, and my heart instantly dropped.
He looked at me, and the sadness in his eyes petrified me.
"What happened?" I almost whispered, the world blurring around me.
"But we had the cure. They dropped it. We can go and get it again," I said quickly.
Sean started to explain, and in that moment, I realized it was about Yuvonne.
Suddenly, I snatched the phone from his hand and pressed it to my ear.
"We will get the cure," I said, not even realizing who was on the call.
"It is too late. She passed away just two minutes ago," Lord Jonah whispered from the other side.
That half-hour struggle had killed my sister.
From the border to the hospital, it was only a five-minute drive.
We would have made it in time if these people had not ruined everything, acting completely entitled.
