Karen Joy Kyle caught a cold and had a high fever. The fever made her feel dizzy and groggy, and she felt so disoriented.
She felt that she was being steamed alive. Her body had long been covered in sweat, drenching her thin pajamas.
"Water..." After a long time, she tried calling out painfully.
Karen Joy felt that she had almost lost her voice, and the water in her body almost dried up. She really wanted to drink water, but she was so weak that she did not have any strength at all.
She barely had any energy to move her lips. After struggling internally for a while, she fell asleep drowsily again.
Her family had taken good care of her throughout her growing years and she had been practicing dancing and martial arts since she was a child, hence she was a healthy and fit person. However, since she was born prematurely and nearly lost her life during infancy, she had a poor immune system.
Normally, when she was not sick, she was just a lively child in the peak of health. However, once she fell sick, it would be difficult for her to recover. She was like that since she was very young, so whenever she fell sick, her family members would be fussing all around her.
Two years ago, when she was 16 years old, she attended her birthday party organized by her classmates. Since the party was outdoors, she was caught in the rain, and she caught a cold after going home.
That time, her father was so worried and felt so bad that he wanted to demolish the event space where the party was held. Fortunately, her mother was more rational and dissuaded her father from doing so.
During that time, she stayed in bed for half a month and recovered really slowly. She felt so terrible and sad.
Therefore, she was especially afraid of falling sick. Usually, her diet was strictly planned by a nutritionist. She always tried her best to keep herself healthy.
She did not want her father and mother to worry about her. She couldn’t bear to watch them hurt.
After a long time, Karen Joy felt as if she had just emerged from the depths of hell, she finally regained some consciousness.
Her head still felt heavy and her body was scorching hot, but she could vaguely hear people around her whispering.
These voices sounded very unfamiliar. They were not voices of her father, nor her mother, nor any other family members.
Karen Joy tried hard to open her eyes and saw an unknown man. He frowned and said, "Miss Kyle's condition is very special. I can’t simply prescribe medications."
"Dr. Leopold, isn't this just a high fever? Why can't you give her medicine?" The one who asked the question was Jason Lesley, whose voice sounded very nervous.
Of course, he was nervous. The distinguished guest that Mr. President asked him to take care of had fallen ill at his house. Now that Mr. President had personally arranged for his private doctor to come over, how could he not be nervous?
"I could see that she’s physically different than others. The previous doctors must have given her some special antibody drugs. I can’t simply prescribe medications until I figure out what medicine the previous doctor had given her." People with her physique were relatively rare. Once she took the wrong medicine, the consequences would be disastrous, so the doctor could not take the matter lightly.
"But if this high fever continues..." She was burning up. If the fever continued, the organs in her body would get damaged.
The doctor added, "Just talk to her family and have her doctor in charge tell me what antibody-drug she used to take."
Karen Joy knew what kind of antibody-drug she had taken. She tried hard to open her mouth and wanted to tell the doctor, but she was struggling to even make a sound.
