"Shane, hurry and take a look at Yvonne," Henry yelled anxiously.
Only then did Shane see the person in Henry's arms." What’s the matter?"
Shane walked over.
Henry said as he lowered his voice, "I suspect that Yvonne has been infected with the virus!"
"What?" Shane said in horror.
Henry walked past him and put Yvonne on his desk. " Hurry up."
Shane snapped out of his daze. "I'm coming."
He walked over and began to do a routine examination on Yvonne.
After he finished checking, he shook his head. "No, the routine examination can only tell that she has a normal fever. We can't tell whether she's infected with the virus or not, so we have to do a more thorough examination!"
"Then go!" Henry roared and his eyes were red.
Shane could understand his feelings so he did not make a fuss. He carried Yvonne and walked towards the examination room.
After a period of time, Shane came out from the examination room with a solemn expression.
Henry was sitting in the corridor outside and he immediately stood up when he saw Shane. "How was i t?"
Shane did not speak.
His expression had already explained everything.
Henry clenched his fists. "I guessed it right? She really is infected with the virus?"
"Yes." Shane nodded.
Henry's eyes turned dark. "How did she get infected?"
From what he remembered, Yvonne was never in contact with anyone who was infected with the virus.
If they were to talk about contact, it should be him instead.
He was the person who took part in the task of arresting the organization.
"I don't know, but the virus is airborne. So obviously, Yvonne either met someone who was infected with the virus, or she went to places where a patient infected with the virus had been to. However, to find out which one, we’ll have to ask her," Shane said. 1
Henry's face was gloomy. "She’s still in the early stage of infection, right?"
"Yes," Shane responded.
Henry stared at him closely. "Can it be cured in the early stage?" "No. If it could be cured in the early stage, those who were infected with the virus would have recovered already, instead of slowly deteriorating from the early stage to the late stage of infection," Shane said in a deep voice.
Henry felt like his heart was congested. "You mean, her infection will develop from the early stage to the late stage?"
"Yes. The virus spreads very quickly, and it'll only take a few days before it turns into a late-stage infection. Generally, patients will die within half a month." Shane lowered his head.
Henry grabbed his collar abruptly, "What do you mean? You mean Yvonne will die in half a month?"
"I'm just saying, but as long as the vaccine can be produced after research, it won't happen," Shane answered with a frown.
Henry's eyes became even redder. "Then has the vaccine been researched and produced?"
"Not yet."
"Then what’s the point of saying all that?" Henry said emotionally.
Shane tugged his collar. "I understand how you feel and I can empathize, but what's the point of getting so worked up now? I've never stopped researching about the vaccine, and I’ll try my best to treat Yvonne.
However, the priority now is to isolate people Yvonne has been in contact with."
"People she’s been in contact with?" Henry suddenly calmed down.
Shane looked at him. "Yes. Yvonne was infected with the virus and the virus has a certain incubation period. So before Yvonne showed symptoms, no one knew that she was infected with the virus, and she didn't know that either. So, she must’ve been in contact with quite a number of people, especially in the Lancaster family. All of you must be isolated and tested immediately."
Henry pursed his thin lips. "I understand. I'll make arrangements right away."
After Henry said that, he immediately took out his cell phone and called Frederick. He asked Frederick to take everyone in the Lancaster family to the hospital for an examination. If the examination came out fine, they would go back home and quarantine.
If there were symptoms after half a month of quarantine, it would mean that they were fine.
After Frederick heard that Yvonne had been infected with the virus, he made all the arrangements without saying anything.
Soon, a group of people came to the hospital, and Shane checked each and every one of them.
Fortunately, there were no traces of viral agents in them.
