Fade explained what had happened to Lily and Quin as soon as he hung up the phone. Then, he left and immediately drove to the Jade Central Hospital.
Fade saw Titas coming up to him at the entrance of the hospital as soon as he got out of the car.
"Here you are, Mr. Chen!" Titas quickly walked forward.
"What happened, Sergeant Xu? Why are you in such a hurry?" Fade curiously asked as both of them walked into the hospital.
"Mr. Chen, you reminded me of a previous incident that was related to seafood poisoning," Titas said with a pale look on his face.
"What's the matter? Did you get any more information?" Fade asked.
Titas nodded and said, "We did obtain some information but the situation is currently out of control. Although we ordered Best Shell Seafood Company to withdraw its remaining products, a lot of them have been sold. Ever since yesterday afternoon, people have suffered from nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and other symptoms, which were very similar to what you mentioned."
"What? A large- scaled poisoning case has happened!" Fade exclaimed as his worst fear had been realized.
Titas grimaced and spoke, "There have been 36 patients who were sent to Jade Central Hospital ever since yesterday afternoon until this morning. Moreover, it's unpredictable how many people have been poisoned."
"Mr. Chen, you are the only doctor who knows about the disease and has successfully cured it. Therefore, I humbly ask for your help to diagnose these patients and confirm if it was caused by seafood poisoning."
Fade nodded and said, "I see. Let's go and have a look!"
Titas led Fade into the hospital ward and he began to examine the patients.
After a thorough examination, Fade nodded to Titas and said with a gloomy expression, "I can confirm that the symptoms of these patients are related to seafood poisoning. It's very similar to those of Eric's seafood poisoning symptoms."
"Furthermore, these patients are full-grown adults and their immune systems are much stronger. Therefore, their symptoms are more serious than Eric's."
Titas's heart sank despite the expected outcome.
He asked Fade once more, "Dr. Chen, is there any way to treat it?"
Fade glanced at the patient and said, "I can easily cure him using the treatment method I prescribed to Eric. It's manageable when there are fewer people like now. However, it will be difficult for me to treat them if many more people are admitted."
Titas frowned as he heard Fade's response. He spoke to Fade with his head bowed, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Chen. Please treat them first!"
Fade nodded and ordered the hospital's staff to prepare the necessary equipment and medicine. He began to work on the treatment as soon as he was ready.
Fade diagnosed and treated all the thirty- six patients in the ward after he tirelessly worked for half a day.
At that moment, another thirty-two patients were admitted to Jade Central Hospital. That indicated that the spread of the virus was faster than the previous day.
A large-scaled poisoning incident was inevitable.
At that moment, Fade examined the thirty- two patients and brought terrible news to Titas, "The previous thirty- six patients' general symptoms were about the same as Eric's. They can be cured with the previous medication. However, several patients' conditions were particularly serious in the second batch of patients. There was an uncertain toxin in their bodies. I can't cure it now."
"How could it be? Even you can't treat it?" Titas asked as he was overwhelmed by Fade's response.
Fade spoke with a degree of seriousness in his expression, "If I can't find out the composition of the toxin, I can't set a precise prescription. I can only try it one at a time by exclusion. In that case, I'm afraid it'll be too late."
