Qie Wenyang looked grim as he walked into the hospital ward. He wasn’t sure if he should hand the medical report to Ye Linlang.
He was worried that Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning could not handle the truth.
“Wenyang, let me have a look at the report.”
Qie Wenyang hesitated for a moment but gave Ye Linlang the report in the end.
Ye Linlang took the report and read it carefully. One of the indicators was higher than average by a hundred times.
Ye Linlang froze when she saw the report.
“This is…”
Ye Linlang turned to look at her daughter lying on the bed.
How was that possible?
When did her daughter catch the deadly virus?
“This virus currently has no cure.” Ye Linlang glanced at Xie Xuning after saying that. She then asked in a low voice, “The question is how Tianxin got infected with it.”
Ye Linlang held onto the piece of paper containing the blood test result and thought hard of what she had studied earlier about the virus.
She had found a plant that might be able to suppress the virus, but when she went to look for the plant, she found out that they had been destroyed by artillery bombardment.
“Don’t let your thoughts go wild at this time.”
Xie Xuning told Ye Linlang not to think of anything bad.
They had to wait for Li Qingcang to arrive before discussing the next step of treatment.
“I know, I know.”
Ye Linlang was worried. How did her daughter contract such a virus?
The new virus, scientifically known as the X-Virus, was a disease transmitted by blood.
Moreover, it was usually transmitted by blood or between mother and child.
X-Virus was more serious than the A virus. The X-Virus had no symptoms at the onset and had a longer incubation period.
Given the current medical conditions, if someone were suspected of being infected with the A virus, they would be able to contain it with drugs.
In contrast, someone with the X-Virus would start out having no symptoms.
Once the X-Virus set in, it would be an incurable disease.
“Linlang, you need to calm down.”
Xie Xuning did not know much about the X-Virus or the severity of Ye Tianxin’s infection.
“I know.”
Ye Linlang looked at her daughter and motioned for Xie Xuning to close the door of the room and follow her to the suite outside the ward.
“Xuning, Tianxin’s babies might not be able to survive this.”
Ye Linlang’s eyes were slightly red.
Her daughter being pregnant with twins was very good news. Everyone thought that she was very lucky.
Who would have expected such a tragedy to befall Ye Tianxin just when she got pregnant?
Ye Linlang sat on the couch, motionless. Her mind went fully blank.
She seemed to have entered a maze. It was as though everything in front of her that looked like an exit was a dead end.
“How can this happen? Every time I run checks on her body, everything was all right.”
Ye Linlang sighed. Nobody expected Ye Tianxin to contract the X-Virus.
During her pregnancy, they would run a normal blood test on her and did not think of doing any other tests.
“It’s all my fault. I hadn’t thought of the possibility at first, so…”
Xie Xuning wrapped his hands around Ye Linlang’s shoulder and comforted his wife.
“Linlang, don’t blame yourself too much. This isn’t your fault.”
Ye Linlang took a deep breath and said, “Why not? I was so close to finding a drug that could cure the X-Virus.”
