Chapter 796
Half an hour later, Bruce arrived at the Paragon Infectious Disease Hospital.
The ambulance doors swung open, revealing a waiting line of doctors and nurses.
“Hurry up and push the patient into the protective room…
“Immediately extract the patient’s blood and take it for testing.
“This is the patient’s treatment information in our hospital. It can be used as a reference.”
The doctor from the Northshore Hospital quickly handed a stack of test results to the doctors at the epidemiological hospital.
“Alright, thank you.”
:
Soon, Bruce was pushed into the protective room.
The doctor had already collected his blood and saliva for testing
Because Bruce’s illness was so unusual, a few specialists in the hospital were invited to the consultation.
Their country had never seen a case like this.
Joanna also got out of the car. Seeing the line of doctors entering Bruce’s ward one after another, she jumped forward and begged every one of them.
“Doctor, please, you must save him.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll do our best.”
Joanna looked at Bruce being pushed into the protective room and felt a sense of desolation in her heart.
Then, like a snake with its spine removed, she slumped weakly onto a nearby stool.
Now, there was really no other way but to pray
Seconds ticked by.
To Joanna, every second felt like a year.
Another half an hour later, Carson rushed over with Bruce Everett’s phone.
“Miss Haynes, Mr. Everett’s phone is here.” Carson panted as he handed the phone to Joanna.
“Okay.” Joanna quickly took the phone and hurriedly opened his call log.
Her eyes lit up immediately.
There was an unfamiliar call record on it.
Joanna held her breath and hurriedly dialed the unknown number.
Beep, beep, beep.
“Hello, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please check before dialing.”
Joanna was even more anxious by now. “How can it be an unused number?”
“Darcy. Are you sure this number is the one he called?”
Darcy looked serious. “I’m not sure. I only know that Mr. Everett spoke to the other party at this time. It should be this
number.”
“But why does this show that it’s an unused number?”
When Carson and Darcy heard this, they were also confused.
With the call failing to go through, Joanna felt even more desolate.
The situation looked very bleak.
Their only hope had failed them. Now, she could only place all her hopes on Aria.
Crack! The door of the ward was pushed open.
Two doctors walked out.
Seeing this, Joanna quickly went up to ask, “Doctor, how’s the patient?”
“The patient has been quarantined. His condition is highly unusual. Regular treatment plans don’t work at all. We have an emergency meeting now to create a new treatment plan.”
Hearing this, Joanna’s legs trembled like she had fallen into an ice cave. “Then… is it serious? Will his life be in danger?”
“The patient is infected with a strange virus. We believe it’s a form of chemical radiation. In a short period, it can cause a person’s organs to fail rapidly.
“The only thing we can do now is to use the antiviral serum to suppress the poison temporarily.
“Next, we need to wait for the test results to be out and then formulate a new treatment plan…”
The doctor went on to say a lot of technical terms.
Joanna was no longer in the mood to listen. She only knew that Bruce was seriously ill.
“Let’s go to the meeting first. It’s useless to be anxious now.” After the doctors finished speaking, they did not say anything else.
Joanna called Aria every hour.
Now, she could only count on her.
Ten hours later, Aria got off the plane.
When she turned on her phone, she saw that she had several missed calls.
Knowing that this was Joanna Haynes, she called her back immediately.
Beep, beep, beep…
Just as Joanna was about to give up, her phone finally rang. As if suddenly on steroids, she quickly picked up the call.
“Hello?”
“Is this Aria Bridges?” Joanna’s voice was hoarse and excited.
“That’s me.”
“I’m Joanna Haynes.”
Aria replied calmly, “Oh, I know.”
Joanna asked anxiously, “Where are you now? I have something important to ask you!”
“Did Bruce ask you to contact me? I just arrived at Greyport and got off the plane…”
“Bruce Everett is in trouble. He’s in the hospital now,” Joanna explained the situation bluntly.
When Aria heard this, her entire body stiffened. She asked nervously, “What happened?”
“The doctor said he was infected with a virus and is in a coma. He’s being treated at the Paragon Infectious Disease Hospital in Sootheration.”
“Infected with a virus?” Aria’s eyes widened!
“Yes, I heard from Darcy. When Bruce was in Antlen, he met you alone. You should know the source of the virus.
“The doctor said this virus has never appeared in the country, let alone a good treatment method. So, I want to ask you, do you know if there is a good treatment method?”
Aria didn’t have time to explain anything to Joanna. She asked anxiously, “How is Bruce now? How bad is he?”
“His condition isn’t ideal! He’s already in a severe coma. The doctor said that his organs are rapidly failing…”
“I understand. I’ll rush to Sootheration now!
“Give the phone to the doctor. I want to ask them to explain!”
When Joanna heard this, she didn’t have time to ask further and hurriedly ran to the office to find a doctor.
In the office, the doctors were in a meeting to study the treatment plan.
When they saw Joanna rushing in, all of them pursed their lips. “Family members are not allowed to enter here.”
“Doctor, please listen to the phone!”
A doctor in his fifties who seemed to be Director answered the call patiently. “Hello!”
On the other end of the phone, Aria said anxiously, “Please inject the patient with saline first, as well as antiviral serum number three…”
Then, she mentioned the names of a few more medicines.
When the Director heard this, his expression became even more solemn. “If so many serums are used together, there will be a rejection reaction.”
The next time Aria spoke, she sounded more stiff. “I’m Aria Bridges from Antlen’s Institute of Advanced Studies. Treat the patients according to my method first. I’ll rush to your hospital immediately.”
