FULL NOVELXO Chapter 256 Stand Together
"Blood appeared on Mary's arm," Robert told William on the phone.
The mortality rate of the RS virus was 100 percent.
The virus broke out suddenly and the experts had not yet developed a new drug.
The incubation period could not be checked. Robert chose a few people who had contacted Kylie in the past two days for inspection, including Pearl, but he did not get any result. Robert said, "It was already too late by the time the result came out."
The period from the onset of the illness to death was too short. But it would take at least a few months to develop this medicine.
He added, "I hope I am wrong."
Robert pretended to feel relieved.
He had calculated that during this period, Jane could get close to Kylie twice.
The first time was two days ago when Kylie went to the company to negotiate and purchase the Duncan Entertainment.
The second time was when Jane went to the hospital to visit Kylie.
Robert said, "When Jane went to visit Kylie, she was wearing a mask and had no contact with anyone."
Thanks to those fans. If they hadn't attacked Jane, she wouldn't have worn a mask when she went out. The risk of getting infected by the RS virus was greatly reduced.
But as for the first time when Jane contacted Kylie, it's hard to judge if she was infected.
After all, Kylie had stayed in the office of the Duncan Group for quite a long time.
Robert said, "I asked Pearl and she told me that Kylie had kept quite a long distance with Jane."
RS virus could be transmitted by droplets and blood. It remained unknown that if there were any other carriers. Some tenacious viruses could be spread just by air. Robert added, "Pearl is fine now. Jane should be ok as well. You should pay attention to her."
Robert finished speaking in one breath and scratched his hair with his hand. He was exhausted.
If Pearl was infected, Robert had used the same pair of chopsticks with her. He would be infected as well.
As a doctor, Robert was not afraid at all, and he even had a ridiculous idea that being infected sounded not bad.
Who exactly was sick? Robert suspected that Pearl was normal and the one who was sick was himself.
William replied, "I got it."
William was calm and told Robert not to tell anyone about it.
Robert wondered, "William, why are you not anxious?"
Before hanging up, he could not help but ask.
To Robert, it's a matter of life and death.
"It's useless to be anxious," William said.
On the phone, William's language was as cold as his expression.
If Jane did have been infected, William had to prepare for the worst. Anyway, he would not abandon her.
That's why William was calm.
William made up his mind not to tell Jane about it, but he underestimated the speed at which the news spread. On the next morning, everyone knew the news.
Jane bore the blame for a day before some domestic experts clarified that Kylie was infected with a new type of RS virus. Jane happened to visit her and had been in close contact with her, so Jane was likely to be infected.
Hearing the news, everyone hurriedly dodged with no one at the entrance of the hospital and no fans surrounding the Duncan's.
Chasing stars was nothing compared to life!
The private hospital of the Duncan's was immediately locked down. People who came into contact with Kylie had to be quarantined. When Jane woke up and turned on the TV, she also heard the news.
She asked William, "Honey, is it true?"
Jane was overwhelmed that she didn't expect that after confessing to William, there would be some changes waiting for her.
Jane thought that it's fine for her to be infected by the virus, but she and William were still kissing last night. If the virus was spread by droplets, then he...
Sitting on the sofa, Jane was scared and retreated to the corner.
"Isn't it too late to avoid me now?" William asked Jane.
William poured a glass of water for Jane. The incubation period of the virus was a week, and it was constantly mutating. The speed of this mutation made the experts quite nerve-wracking. Robert also participated in the research, and there was no progress.
"William, I'm afraid that I..."
Jane stroked her stomach and she was worried that it would affect the child. If she was infected, she might probably die.
"That's quite a long distance between you and Kylie. Don't worry. You'll be fine."
William comforted Jane with his expression calm, which made Jane feel that the RS virus was not so scary.
After a restless morning, it's said that Kylie's assistant, Mary, began to bleed a lot, and then there were signs of organ failure on her body. She would probably not survive tonight. Because Mary went to many places, the people who had contacted her were likely to be infected.
It was impossible to quarantine all of them. Some people who had come into contact with Kylie and Mary had even sought revenge on society by running to the streets to create panic.
In just one day, the news spread, and almost everyone in City J knew about it.
William said, "Janie, you stay here and rest. I'll get Lainey to take care of you."
Everyone in City J was in danger. The city was chaotic with the mall empty, very few people on the street, and the traffic almost paralyzed.
If the virus couldn't be curbed as quickly as possible, it would be quite terrifying.
William received an order from an organization and he needed to be on standby.
Next, the organization was going to search the Cart's casino to see if there was any RS virus hidden inside.
"Darling, I don't want to stay here alone. I want to go home."
Jane wanted to go home as she was a little panicked here.
"Alright, let Robert draw out your blood for a test."
William hugged Jane, hoping that she was not infected. If so, he would stand together with her.
As it took a long time to drive home, William transferred the helicopter and landed on the Duncan's. There was no one at the gate. Lainey said, "It's a little out of control now. People are robbing in the supermarket. Many people don't go to work but stay at home." Lainey heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Jane had returned.
The outside was not as good as home. With electricity in the house, the door was closed and no visitors were welcomed. "Lainey, stay away from me."
Jane wore a mask and lowered her head to say to Lainey.
Jane was worried that if she was infected by the virus, she would be the source of infection.
Lainey answered, "It's not that serious. You usually eat the same dishes as us."
Lainey didn't go out, but she felt that something was wrong.
When the RS virus appeared, it was unlikely that it would break out in just one night. The news spread so fast. Someone must be behind the scenes. But Lainey did not know why.
In short, the person behind it must be creating panic.
Kylie was dead, and her assistant was also infected. They had been together all the time.
Lainey comforted Jane that she had never been in close contact with Kylie and had never used the same cup with her. There's no need to be worried. Unless, the virus spreads through the air, and it is useless to isolate.
"You are right," Jane said to Lainey.
William was in a hurry to go out and asked Lainey to take care of Jane.
In the afternoon, Jane did not find out about the situation outside until Pearl accompanied Robert to visit her.
"People have run away left a lot of cars on the road randomly. We have to go out on motorcycles."
Pearl was worried about Jane and was afraid that she would have a burden. When she came, she found that Jane looked normal.
Robert said that pregnant women tend to think too much.
He said, "Even vegetable is very expensive now. It's becoming messy."
The international hospital had already been sealed. The basement that Robert went out through the basement. The safe passage was only for the Duncans.
When the hospital was built back then, in case of fire, they built a laboratory in the basement.
Otherwise, Robert would not be able to come out to visit Jane.
