Lan Xue sat on a separate isolation room bed. She was the closest one to the deceased patient, and her hands were stained with the blood he spit out. If it was really an infectious disease, she was the one most likely to be infected.
Her blood has been sent for examination. Right now, it was time to wait.
At school, the teacher was very serious when talking about infectious diseases.
He told them in detail about how to prevent infection and not to come into contact with patients too much, especially for doctors with wounds, and to avoid exposure to the air as much as possible.
Being a doctor may be one of the riskiest professions in the world.
They save the world, but they also expose themselves to danger.
A simple patient with a fracture may also be the source of other infectious diseases.
Doctors should treat their lives more seriously than others. They should protect their lives while avoiding risks from patients.
This was said by the teacher at the time. Lan Xue remembered it clearly, and she still thought at the time, ‘Obviously they emphasize on it. Health care workers were always the first to be infected whenever there were signs of widespread epidemics, thus risking their families’ lives. But they were still condemned.’
Now, knowing that she could be infected at any time, she calmed down.
Sitting in this small isolation room, she looked out through the window.
When she was anxious and didn’t know what to think, the door was pushed open.
Wearing protective clothing, a wrapped-up man came in. Although only the upper half of his face was exposed, Lan Xue recognized it as her Mingyan.
Lan Xue stood up, and the man came up and held her in his arms.
Lan Xue could feel that the body in front of her was shaking. He was silent, but his body was shaking violently.
She gently, slowly, stretched out her hands and held Wei Mingyan in her arms. Lan Xue patted him gently. “Has the test result come out?”
The man didn’t speak, but his arms tightened, holding her tighter.
He didn’t answer, but the silence had already given Lan Xue her answer.
She patted her beloved’s hand and paused. Her voice was astringent, but she was still trying to keep smiling. “Well, don’t feel bad, it will be cured.”
“You see, am I not well now?”
A suppressed cry sounded in her ears.
It was as if he had lost everything and was trying his best to hold back the sound.
Lan Xue’s white face also shed tears. She pushed back and gently lifted the man’s head to let him look straight at herself.
Under the protective clothing, Wei Mingyan opened his mouth and wanted to cry, but because he was too sad, he could only make a dumb sound. His normally calm face was full of tears.
Lan Xue gently touched his face, tears streaming from her eyes, “Okay, don’t be afraid, it’s okay, please stay with me … How’s it going out there? I want to know.”
“Ah Xue, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have gone out, I should have stayed with you …”
Wei Mingyan finally said his first words since he came in. His face was full of tears, and his eyes looked straight at his lover through the transparent protective clothing.
“How can this be your fault …”
Lan Xue knew she shouldn’t be crying, but she couldn’t help but look at her beloved who was taking everything into his own hands.
“Don’t blame yourself …”
“A vaccine is being developed now, and maybe, soon, it will be researched…” she said something she didn’t believe herself just to comfort her husband.
As Lan Xue had predicted before, the analysis results came out very quickly. It was confirmed to be an influenza virus, which was mainly transmitted by air. Lan Xue was confirmed to have the disease.
(TNote: yes, i see the irony in letting this chapter come out during the pandemic. No this was not planned… fate is ironic.)
The latent period of the virus is currently estimated to be three to seven days. After the outbreak, the patient feels chest tightness and distending pain, followed by a series of whole body pain and massive hemorrhage.
And then death.
The onset was so rapid that there was no warning before it.
After reporting the illness, the hospital quickly checked and found out many patients had already fallen ill. The first patient to suffer from this condition was the patient who had suffered massive hemorrhage after a car accident.
He died while being rescued by an ambulance, and because it was originally a car accident it didn’t attract much attention.
At that time, the medical staff on the ambulance were also infected by the disease, and the First Hospital started to become the hardest hit area.
Lan Xue was not the first doctor to be diagnosed with the disease due to contact with the patient, but she was the last doctor. She stopped the spreading.
Dean Lan also came in wearing protective clothing. He faced his daughter, just like Wei Mingyan, he had tears streaming down his face.
“I shouldn’t have let you study medicine, I really shouldn’t have…”
Lan Xue looked at the two men she loved most in her life, standing in front of her. Tears began to slide down and her voice choked. As before, she smiled sweetly.
“It’s okay Dad, I’m sure we can work this out.”
She was once protected by Dean Lan, then married Wei Mingyan, and now she was spoiled by him.
But now, she must face the wind herself.
After getting married, Lan Xue slept alone for the first time. Wei Mingyan wanted to come in to accompany her but was pushed out by her.
Lying in a narrow hospital bed, she didn’t turn on the light, staring at the ceiling with her eyes open, unconsciously touching the ring on her finger.
On that night, while she tried to smile to comfort her relatives with a smile all day, she finally felt afraid.
She didn’t want to die, she was less than halfway through her life.
She has a father who loved her dearly and a husband who doted on her like a princess. How could she be willing to give up such a happy life?
However, she didn’t dare to show her sadness in front of the two of them while they were already very sorrowful to begin with.
Just as she was thinking, her cell phone rang.
Lan Xue sat up, glanced at [Mingyan] above, wiped away her tears, hesitated for a long time, then took it.
“Have you slept?”
Listening to the husky voice of the man, Lan Xue closed her eyes and tried hard to hide her sorrow. “I’m going to sleep, what about you?”
“I’m going to sleep.”
“Remember to tuck in the corners, you like to kick the covers at night, and always need me to get up and cover you again.”
Lan Xue could hear that her husband was also trying hard to pretend that nothing was wrong, so she cocked her mouth and asked sweetly, “How do you know I kicked the quilt away when you were asleep?”
“Little fool.”
Wei Mingyan said in a low voice, “We share a blanket.”
Lan Xue was amused by him. She smiled and tears fell down again.
She was afraid, she was afraid that from now on, she would never get another chance to share a blanket with her beloved.
“Do you want to guess what I was going to give you for your wedding anniversary?”
Lan Xue choked back her voice and asked softly, “What is it?”
“It’s a great gift. You’ll love it when you see it. “
The man droned on, “I’ve got it all planned for the day after tomorrow, I’ll give you the gift and we’ll go to a big dinner together and we can also go to the water park, haven’t you always wanted to go before? We can also go shopping, buy clothes, eat ice cream…”
“By the way, the last time you told me about that delicious restaurant– I learned from their chef, so we won’t have to travel so far if you want to eat it later. But I promised him I would eat there again, so when you’re better, we’ll go eat together, okay?”
“Ah Xue? Are you asleep?”
Lan Xue hid under the blanket and covered her mouth with a tight grip to keep the crying from spilling out, her tears falling onto the pillow and quickly dampening a part of it.
“Well, good night Ah Xue. I’ll see you tomorrow morning, sweet dreams.”
Mingyan’s voice had calmed down, which is good. If she really… Then Mingyan, there’s no need to be too sad.
The other end hung up. Lan Xue was in the dark. She slowly put down her hand. Desperate cries echoed in the whole isolation room.
Dean Lan was still worried about his daughter. He quietly came to the isolation room, but then saw a figure sitting in front of the door.
His head hung, his back to the door, his hands clutching the phone very tightly. Dean Lan couldn’t see the look on his face, but his body was trembling.
Dean Lan recognized him. He walked forward silently and came to him.
“Mingyan, go to bed. You’ve been busy all day.”
The man raised his head. Under the protective clothing was Wei Mingyan’s face.
With red eyes, he mumbled, “I want to stay with Ah Xue.”
“She’s scared now.”
“I want to stay with her.”
Dean Lan looked at his stubborn son-in-law in silence and sat down at the door.
“Move over.”
This is his only daughter and the person he loves most in the world.
He has already lost his beloved once and didn’t want to lose one again.
Inside, Lan Xue was tired of crying, so she closed her eyes and went to sleep. Outside, two men leaned against the door, silently guarding her.
Lan Xue heard the door open early in the morning. When she saw Wei Mingyan, she bowed her head, trying to hide her swollen eyes from crying in the middle of the night.
“Ah Xue, come eat.”
As if he didn’t see it at all, Wei Mingyan put down the things in his hand and placed them on the table one by one.
A bowl of rice congee, an egg, and her favorite side-dish.
This is the couple’s usual home-made simple breakfast. When Wei Mingyan prepared it, if they didn’t have time to eat it, they would bring it in a thermos cup.
“it’s delicious.”
Seeing that she could not hide, Lan Xue simply stopped hiding. She ate her meal and smiled with swollen eyes. “Really delicious.”
Seeing that there was no sad smile on his beloved’s face, the man relaxed a little. “What do you want to eat at noon? I’ll make it for you.”
At present, none of the medical staff of the First Hospital could go out. So, he borrowed the hospital’s kitchen to make it. Fortunately, all the vegetables are restocked, so they aren’t afraid of running out of food.
Knowing that the more she behaved like nothing was wrong at this point, the more relieved her lover would be, Lan Xue smiled and ordered a few dishes, even though she had no appetite at all right now.
In her eyes, she was hiding it well, but she didn’t know that the hastiness in her eyes was clearly seen by her two relatives.
Wei Mingyan told his wife that he ate and drank normally, but he actually didn’t sleep at all. He went through all the medical books like crazy, trying to find a solution that almost no doctor could find.
In the end, Dean Lan couldn’t watch it and wanted to stop him.
“You’re not even an expert in this field. There are experts in the field, and now the infectious disease specialists are already looking for ways to do it, and even if you read all these books, it won’t help.”
The man who had not slept for two days and one night raised his head blankly. He was now blue and pale, and he looked more like a patient than Lan Xue.
“Ah Xue said I was good, and she believed me…”
Wei Mingyan mumbled as if to cheer himself up, “I can find a way to save her, I can do it, I can definitely do it…”
On the ground, the books lay all over the floor, all of which he had cherished carefully in the cupboard. The man looked through them hastily, trying to find even the slightest bit of information.
But no, there was nothing.
“Why… why am I so useless…”
His eyes were filled with grief and he buckled weakly, “I can’t find it, why can’t I find it…”
He could save countless people, but not the ones he loved.
“Isn’t that the most ironic thing?”
The man who previously had been fresh and clean, but now had red eyes, asked him.
He kept searching like a madman. Dean Lan could not bear to look away, his red eyes filled with sorrow.
In just two days, like dominoes, five patients died of seizures and pain, similar to bed eight’s patient, despite countless precautions from the medical staff.
The most terrible thing about this disease was that there was no chance to resuscitate someone. In other words, the doctors had no way to save them.
The only symptom before the attack was chest tightness, followed by massive hematemesis and severe pain. All rescue methods were ineffective. Right now, only one patient managed to maintain signs of life after hematemesis, but could barely speak because of the pain.
Dean Lan’s head throbbed at the mere thought of all this happening to his own daughter, but he was the Dean in the end, so he had to endure his grief and start cooperating with the various research studies being conducted by the experts.
The treatment has not been developed, but it has been researched, and those who were already severely wounded, or those who have just begun to recover, may not even be resuscitated. They were not even given the opportunity to do so and died because their bodies could not handle the severe pain and massive blood loss.
However, those who are in good health could still hold out for a longer period of time, but it wasn’t certain for how long.
Just now, the nurse who barely survived the illness passed away.
She survived for two days, luckier than others, but only for two days.
The nurse who died was very young. She just got married this year. All of the nurses in the same department received her wedding candy gift.
She was only 22 years old and should’ve had a bright life, but in the end, she fell to her job.
Dean Lan personally participated in the resuscitation, and he also announced her death.
Nurses and doctors had seen birth, sickness and death.
But watching former colleagues fall was definitely different.
They don’t even know when the nurse contracted the disease. Before she died, she was still crying because of the pain.
At the end of a tired day, after sending off several doctors, the last news came.
Lan Xue was ill.
Pain swept through her whole body. She rolled on the bed, thinking in her mind about how she was going to pull through, about the bits and pieces she had with Wei Mingyan.
She wanted to live …
“Ah Xue…”
Wei Mingyan received the news. He wanted to hold up his beloved for comfort, but was blocked by heavy protective clothing.
Lan Xue has lost half of her consciousness. Her mouth bled and she coughed painfully. Someone wanted to connect her to a ventilator.
“It hurts …”
After listening to the painful voice of his loved one, Wei Mingyan finally could not help it any longer.
Dean Lan madly rushed over and came to see the man holding his daughter tightly.
“Don’t be afraid, Ah Xue, I’m here, I’m here…”
He took off his protective clothing, revealing his white coat, which was now stained with the blood from his beloved.
The man’s voice was trembling and reassuring. He said, “Today is our wedding anniversary. I have brought the gift. Do you think it’s good? It’s your favorite flower. It’s very beautiful.”
On the table next to them, a potted flower was blooming brightly.
Lan Xue was so engulfed by the pain that she couldn’t think of anything. Her hand clung to her husband’s clothes, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Dean Lan stared at the two hugging each other.
“You… you don’t have to do this.”
The man looked up with red eyes and smiled. He gently hugged his wife and looked at Dean Lan. “I can’t find a way to save Ah Xue.”
So, he chose to protect her.
There was Wei Mingyan’s hoarse voice in her ear. Lan Xue managed to recover a little consciousness from the pain. She tried hard to pull her hand back and coughed. “Let go…”
She didn’t want him to die with her.
For the first time, Wei Mingyan didn’t follow her wishes and wrapped Lan Xue’s cold hand tightly in his own hands. He kept kissing Lan Xue’s tearful cheek and comforted her with a smile, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here, I’m with you, it’ll be fine…”
Looking at the couple, hugging each other, the eyes of the people around them looked like they couldn’t bear it.
They always knew that Wei Mingyan was in love with Lan Xue, but they didn’t expect that he would give up his life for her.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here…”
He gently hugged his wife, and his voice was still as indifferent as when she first saw him.
“I love you.”
Lan Xue was held by him and snuggled up in the man’s arms, coughing with tears in her eyes.
The door was pushed open and someone excitedly came to Dean Lan.
“Dean, Dean! The research is out!!!”
“They’ve figured it out!”
Lan Xue sat on a separate isolation room bed. She was the closest one to the deceased patient, and her hands were stained with the blood he spit out. If it was really an infectious disease, she was the one most likely to be infected.
Her blood has been sent for examination. Right now, it was time to wait.
