What She Broke
The new junior researcher in our lab destroyed my antigen.
Because of that, I could not submit my thesis. I lost my chance to study abroad. Three years of work gone, just like that.
I was furious. I wanted to call the police, to have it investigated, to make sure she was held responsible.
However, my fiancé stood in front of her, shielding her, and turned on me instead.
"It's just a small experiment," he said. "Is it really worth making such a big deal out of it?"
I nodded.
"Of course," I said calmly. "After all, it was only an antigen that could treat your lupus. Definitely not worth making a fuss over."
He froze on the spot.
