He Tasted His Own Medicine

Synopsis

My sister-in-law got bitten by a viper, and the only antidote in the whole city was locked up in my husband's lab. I was frantic and called him right away. But instead of bringing the serum, he snapped at me over the phone. All I could do was watch helplessly as my sister-in-law took her last breath in the ICU. Later, I found out that very same night, his lab junior had also been bitten by the same snake. There were actually two doses of the antidote, but being afraid one wouldn't be enough, he gave both to her. I was furious, demanding to know why he hadn't come to save our sister. He shot back without hesitation. "She's always reckless and asking for trouble. If she hadn't gone near the snake, she wouldn't have been bitten! "And besides, she's just some high school kid. Sophie is a top talent—her life is worth way more than your sister's!" Seeing how righteous he looked while saying that, I went completely silent. Turns out he never realized—the one who'd been bitten was his own sister.
