One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love Novel - Chapter 4539
4539 The Other Side 508
After all, this virus hit out of the blue and no one was prepared for it.
This meant was that both the Baby Chu and Little Yichen were in danger.
As for the other children, although their illnesses had not acted up yet, it could not be ruled out that the influenza virus was possibly incubating in their bodies and their conditions might worsen.
Because it was a new strain of flu, no one could determine the fatality rate, cure rate, and the series of aftereffects of the flu. They could only do their best to manage it and study it.
!!
Many hospitals in Beijing had spread the news that the nurses and doctors had been infected. A few nurses had unfortunately contracted the virus because of inadequate protection and because they had been overworking.
Other than that, there were also many doctors who had been working hard at the front line for a long time. They were so tired that they became ill. Some even died suddenly at the operating table.
The constant news reports made the public nervous and the atmosphere was thick with fear of the influenza virus. On the streets, in shopping malls, and in schools, everyone wore masks.
It had become routine to measure one’s temperature every morning. Thermometers sold out at the pharmacies.
Everywhere in the city, people were on tenterhooks, afraid that they would be the next victims of this influenza virus.
No matter how unacceptable it was, people had to accept it.
Yun Shishi secretly cried in the bathroom for a long time. After wiping her tears and splashing some cold water on her face, she walked out of the bathroom and walked to Little Yichen’s bed to take over from Youyou.
Little Yichen gently held her hand and looked at the doctors and nurses who had gathered around the bed. He asked nervously, “Mommy, am I going to be sent to the full quarantine zone?”
“Uh huh.” The woman squeezed his palm and held back her sobs. “It’s fine. It’s just a small problem. Mommy will wait for you to get better, okay?”
“Yes, I think it’s a small matter too.” Little Yichen blinked his eyes and said disapprovingly, “I’m in such good health. How could I be defeated by such an insignificant influenza virus?”
“Uh huh!” She nodded emphatically, as if borrowing the boy’s words to convince herself.
The boy could not bear to see her suppressing her sadness. He pursed his lips and looked at the ceiling before forcing his tears back. He was not afraid of getting sick, he was only afraid that his mother would be worried.
She was so fragile. If she worried about him all day, she’d not be able to eat or sleep well. He must not show weakness, or it would worry her even more.
Hence, Little Yichen feigned nonchalance and said, “Mommy, when I leave the quarantine zone, cook me some black pepper steak.”
“That’ll have to wait till your return.”
“For Mommy’s black pepper steak, I will work hard to get well!” The boy vowed. “Don’t worry, Mommy; I won’t keep you waiting for too long!”
The doctor and nurse looked at each other, feeling a little sad.
The nurse approached them and said to Yichen, “Little boy, say goodbye to your daddy and mommy, okay?”
“I don’t want to say goodbye.” Little Yichen’s voice was choked with emotions, but he stubbornly said, “I’ll be back soon.”
He and Baby Chu were moved to the trolley bed and slowly pushed out of the ward. The small group of people surrounded them and walked them towards the full isolation zone.
The two beds were wheeled to the door of the quarantine zone one after the other. Baby Chu’s bed was pushed over and placed beside Little Yichen’s.
The two little fellows looked at each other, feeling like they were comrades in the same boat!
