“Fortunately, Qianqian and Ruirui haven’t had much contact with Baby Chu. Otherwise, according to the doctor, such young children would probably not be able to withstand the influenza virus. It could be life threatening.”
Yun Shishi felt a lingering fear when she heard that. It was not that she did not notice it, but who would have thought that a new influenza virus would suddenly appear? She also noticed that in recent times there had been an increase in the number of children being hospitalized. Moreover, the symptoms were surprisingly similar.
It all started with a simple cold, followed by a high fever that would not subside. The recurring fever would come and go, and then come back again.
No one thought about a flu bug going around.
Linxi always slept in the same room as Baby Chu, but Qianqian and Ruirui were in separate rooms. Still, Chu He could not be at ease. She hired an authoritative doctor to take a look at them personally. Only when the doctor confirmed that there were no problems did she feel relieved.
“But Baby Chu is already in semi-quarantine. It looks like the new influenza is real. They’ll have to announce it.”
“Semi-quarantine?” Yun Shishi was curious. She asked, “What do you mean, semi-quarantine?”
“There can only be one parent to take care of the sick child. Because Qianqian and Ruirui are at home, he’s worried, so he volunteered to stay and take care of Baby Chu.”
Yun Shishi returned to the ward feeling uneasy. The ward was very large and had a total of four beds in it. Initially, Yun Shishi wanted to place Yueyao in the VIP ward, however the VIP ward was already occupied and they couldn’t possibly kick the occupant out. Hence, she had no choice but to place the girl in an ordinary ward.
In the end, three of the children ended up sick.
Apart from Youyou, who went without saying, even Little Yichen succumbed to it, which only went on to show how aggressive this new childhood influenza virus was.
Soon, the test results were out. Youyou was a category 2 influenza patient, so he had to be quarantined as soon as possible. The children who came into contact with him also had to be quarantined.
This meant that Yueyao, Little Yichen, Youyou, and Jing Yang all had to enter the ward in the quarantine zone. Moreover, only one parent could accompany them.
Yun Shishi was a little stunned when she was informed of this. The doctor and nurses came in a hurry and took blood samples from Yueyao and Little Yichen for further testing. Naturally, Jing Yang was not spared.
He only had an ordinary cold, but because Yueyao and Youyou had been tested positive, Yun Shishi could not help feeling guilty about it. She repeatedly apologized to Jing Qi, and although the latter was worried, she did not say much.
“If it’s really a new type of child influenza, it’s inevitable even if we had left the hospital. It’s a good thing to be able to get a diagnosis immediately. Anyway, let’s wait and see!”
“Uh huh.”
The next morning, the doctor and nurse walked over and sent the three children to the quarantine area.
To enter the quarantine zone, Yun Shishi had to wear the hospital’s special quarantine uniform.
It was a category 2 blue isolation suit, with a mask, and even protective goggles.
Feeling awkward in this quarantine suit, she walked into the quarantine zone. At this point, she ran into an extremely tall man. She could tell at a glance, from his astonishing presence and aura, that it was Gu Jinglian.
She walked over and glanced at him. The man turned around and was a little surprised to see her. However, he then recalled that Chu He had mentioned this to him, and the surprise quickly faded.
