The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 1046: Chapter 992: New Virus Strain (2)

"Where is Sheehan?"

"I asked Sabrina Conner to take him home." Afraid she’d worry, Adrian Desmond continued, "Mom will take care of Sheehan."

"Hmm."

Almost reaching People’s Hospital, Sienna Johnson called her classmate Ben Harmon, told him about Curly’s situation; he said the hospital admitted a suspected infectious disease patient, and he was heading to the hospital.

"Is it Curly?" Sienna Johnson asked.

"They just mentioned a little girl. I’m not sure. We’ll contact each other once at the hospital."

"Okay."

Sienna Johnson hung up the phone, buried her face in Adrian Desmond’s embrace, crying silently. Adrian gently stroked her back and said, "Sienna, be strong."

"As long as she’s alright, I’ll do anything."

Adrian kissed the top of her head, saying, "She’ll be okay! You say you’re unlucky, but I don’t believe in fate! When you were young, you were swapped because of Sabrina Johnson’s mother’s greed and malice, not because of heaven!"

"..."

"The transformation of life is always filled with pain and helplessness, just like a seed, which must endure countless hardships to become a towering tree, supporting itself and providing strength to others.

Even if you’re unlucky, your current bad luck is temporary. As long as you are unyielding, optimistic, and strong, you can turn bad luck into good luck."

"Why does that sound so familiar?" Sienna Johnson choked.

"It’s your motivational speech you posted in your Story."

"You actually memorized it."

"That’s because I care about you deeply..."

"Sixth Master, we’re here," Marion said.

Sienna Johnson sat upright, looked at the hospital right ahead, and wiped away her tears.

A mother is not allowed to be weak!

Once the car stopped steadily, Sienna Johnson quickly got out of the car.

"Sienna!"

Sienna Johnson froze in her tracks and saw Ben Harmon, saying, "My daughter is sick and hospitalized. I’ll see her first and come find you later."

"Curly’s not here; she’s in the Infectious Disease Building at the back. I’ll take you there," Ben Harmon said with a solemn expression.

Sienna Johnson was a bit bewildered, not understanding how Curly ended up in the Infectious Disease Building.

Ben Harmon had just arrived and clearly didn’t know the situation either, so Sienna Johnson didn’t ask him.

A few of them went to the Infectious Disease Building.

Compared to the crowded outpatient lobby, the infectious disease department was much quieter.

After SARS, highly infectious and dispersible viruses frequently appeared, so the health system set up an Infectious Disease Building in every area. Once someone with a SARS-like virus infection is found, they’ll be sent to a special infectious disease hospital to prevent spread.

Ben Harmon walked in and stopped a colleague to ask, "The little girl named Jayce Johnson that was admitted today, where is she now?"

"She’s in the isolation room."

"What’s the situation exactly?"

Sienna Johnson listened intently as the doctor said, "She’s infected with a virus similar to the SARS coronavirus. This NCoV coronavirus belongs to the same family that causes SARS... but we’re currently analyzing the virus composition."

Ben Harmon asked, his expression growing more serious, "Has the virus composition changed again?"

"Yes. It’s similar to MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome). MERS and SARS belong to the same family, but MERS can’t be treated the same way as SARS."

Sienna Johnson listened with icy cold hands and feet, as even using the known SARS treatment would be the last resort.

During the SARS treatment, "glucocorticoids" were used extensively, saving lives but causing femoral head necrosis.

Curly is so small; how can she bear such pain?

Sienna Johnson understood the danger of coronaviruses better than anyone; she felt as if the sky was falling. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Adrian Desmond held Sienna Johnson’s shoulder, she almost put all her body’s weight on Adrian.

Adrian asked, "Can you cure her?"

"We’ve reported the case to the Health Bureau. Even if we can’t cure her, they’ll send national experts to treat her."

These words might comfort unknowing parents, but not Sienna Johnson; she questioned, "What’s your treatment plan?"

"For now, we can only isolate the patient. Once the expert group arrives and we research the case, we’ll discuss treatment plans."

Sienna Johnson said, "You must get my consent for any drugs given to my daughter!"

"...If it’s really like the SARS infectious disease, then for public safety, deciding on treatment plans and drugs won’t be up to you or me."

Sacrificing the interests of a few for the sake of many, Sienna Johnson understood their approach.

But this is her daughter, her treasure, her hope, her solace... Everything she hadn’t achieved, she hoped her daughter would. She wouldn’t allow anyone to harm her treasure!

"I want to see my daughter!"

"Your daughter is currently in isolation; you can only see her through the glass."

"Okay."

A calm Sienna Johnson made the wisest choice; she mustn’t fall now. Her well-being is essential for Curly’s well-being.

The nurse took Sienna Johnson and Adrian Desmond to see Curly.

"Curly!" Sienna Johnson burst into tears.

In the transparent isolation ward, Curly’s small body lay there alone, excessive blood loss made her face a bit pale. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Upon hearing her name, Curly slowly opened her eyes, saw her parents, and smiled at them.

Adrian Desmond’s eyes also reddened, placing his hand on the thick glass to look at his daughter inside.

"Curly, don’t be afraid; Daddy will protect you."

Curly couldn’t speak but smiled and gestured an okay sign.

Sienna Johnson sobbed uncontrollably, embraced by Adrian Desmond, unable to accept the result.
