Just thinking about it made Lily clench her teeth and want to kill whoever created the disease.
“It was an unusual case.” Dr. Blanc sighed and was rather sad. No one would be in a good mood seeing a weak child enduring such pain.
“Unusual? Unusual?! There are patients in their 60s and 70s here, aren’t there? The girl’s mother would only be 30 at the most! How could she die?” Lily knew she had slightly lost it.
However, she felt terrible when the child told them her mother had died. It was as if someone was choking her throat, and she could not breathe.
“That’s because her mother had cancer.” Dr. Morris said blandly.
Lily looked at him in disbelief and was in a daze for a moment.
“Her mother had late-stage cancer and got infected with the virus. Her condition quickly worsened, and she died within two days, probably because she was already frail from her cancer.”
Dr. Blanc sighed and continued, “Since the kid stayed by her mother, she got infected. However, the kid’s symptoms are relatively mild. She seems to have only a cold and fever and is still receiving treatment.
“If we can find a way to generate the antibodies, it would be great news to all the patients here and even those who are still healthy now.” Dr. Blanc turned to Lily and continued, “That’s the meaning of our work here.”
‘He’s right. That’s why it’s meaningful.’
