Lu Jingyao carried Su Xia into the hospital.

The lobby manager was very considerate and did not go back immediately. He was busy here. Su Xia was placed on the ambulance bed and pushed into the room. Lu Jingyao was standing outside waiting. He glanced at the lobby manager who had finished everything and came to wait with him, and spoke in a flat voice.

"Thank you."

The lobby manager was flattered. He quickly waved his hand and shook his head: "No need to thank me, no need to thank me. It's all my duty."

The corridor was eerily quiet, with only the sound of nurses' footsteps coming and going, which made it inexplicably depressing.

Lu Jingyao frowned and looked at the closed door. There was no expression on his face, but it was frightening.

It's just a fever, why didn't you come out for so long?

But at this moment, the door suddenly opened.

The doctor and nurse who had just entered came out with horrified faces. Lu Jingyao immediately walked over and asked, "What's the situation?"

The doctor waved his hand without saying anything, turned around and quickly left with the nurse. Soon a large number of people came over, wearing protective clothing and looking very serious.

A nurse stood in front of Lu Jingyao and the lobby manager and said, "Sir, please stay away from this area and wait a moment. We will let you know after we confirm it."

After the two of them were taken to another place by the nurse, the nurse left in a hurry. Lu Jingyao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He had never been as restless as he was now. The huge uneasiness coming from the unknown made his heart feel uncomfortable. He didn't know how long he waited. When it was dark outside, he saw a few doctors and nurses finally walking towards him with tired faces.

"Sir, I'm sorry," the doctor sighed, "your lover has been infected with the T3 virus."

Lu Jingyao was stunned, and the uneasy premonition in his heart gradually became a reality.

"We just received a patient infected with the T3 virus this morning. It's a man. Has your spouse had any contact with this man?"

The nurse placed a photo in front of Lu Jingyao. It was the person who had suddenly fallen ill and collapsed on the ground in the canyon that morning.

He nodded with almost difficulty: "Yes."

"Sir," the doctor's voice came, "T3 virus can only be transmitted through saliva and blood. We found a blood-stained tissue in your lover's pocket. Preliminary judgment is that the blood sprayed by this man must have sprayed on your lover's body, which led to the infection."

"The virus spreads very quickly. Once it gets on the saliva or blood of a person with the virus, it can spread within a few hours and begin to show signs. The first is lethargy and fever, the second is coughing and spitting blood, and the third is weakness in the limbs."

"Your spouse has had the first two symptoms, but such a long time has passed and you have no symptoms, so you are not infected."

Lu Jingyao clenched his fists tightly, and his lips were frighteningly tight.

The doctor continued, "You have to be mentally prepared."

Lu Jingyao suddenly raised his eyes: "Why?"

"The T3 virus is difficult to cure, and the mortality rate is as high as 80%. Currently, there are less than ten cases in S country, and no one is in good condition. Even if the situation improves, it will soon become dangerous again. At present, it is unknown how this virus entered S country, and the police are gradually investigating."

"There are about a thousand cases in the world, and only one person has been successfully cured, but it took about two months to be completely cured. This is a long tug-of-war, and we have no way to completely guarantee your loved one's life. We will do our best, but please be mentally prepared."

Lu Jingyao couldn't help but gasp for breath.

His whole body was shocked, and a huge pain came from his heart, which then spread to his limbs and bones. The unprecedented tremor made his tall and thin body tremble, and the pain in his heart was unbearable.

After a long while, he spoke slowly, his clear voice hoarse: "Can I go in and see her?"

"I'm sorry, sir," the doctor said, "I can't."

He paused and continued, "But you can see your loved one outside the isolation ward. There is a glass there, and your loved one can see you at the same time."

Lu Jingyao clenched his teeth, his whole body felt as if he was surrounded by a cold wind, and he was at a loss for a moment.

This was the first time in his 28 years of life that he felt helpless.

It was so shocking that he almost lost the ability to think or react. He was panicked and didn't know what to do.

80% mortality rate.

He had no choice, he was powerless.

It felt as if a cold wind was sweeping into his chest, making him shiver with cold.

Lu Jingyao closed his eyes and suppressed the bitterness in his eyes. It seemed as if something was choking his throat and he was unable to speak for a moment.

He said hoarsely, "Please, doctor."

"She is my life."

"Please do your best."

——

Su Xia felt like she had a big dream. She was running desperately in the endless darkness in the dream. When she woke up, she felt weak in her limbs and her whole body was uncomfortable and anxious.

She was lying on a hospital bed with various instruments beside her, including a multi-functional monitor that could monitor her heart rate, blood pressure, etc. at all times.

She couldn't help but frown in confusion and looked around.

The nurse next to her was writing something down. She was wearing a white protective suit. When she saw that she had woken up, she immediately came over, pressed the ward call button, bent down and said to her gently, "Do you want some water?"

Su Xia nodded.

The nurse poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

Su Xia was thirsty and felt uncomfortable. After drinking, her throat felt better. She opened her mouth and asked, "Excuse me, what happened to me? Someone must have sent me here. Did you see the man who sent me here?"

The nurse looked at her, as if considering what to say.

She paused and spoke slowly: "Miss, you are infected with the virus, but don't worry, we will definitely cure you. This is an isolation ward, so your husband who came with you can't come in, he can only watch you outside."

"He was here the whole time. The next room is the VIP ward. He went back to get something so that he could be with you all the time."

The nurse seemed to want to relax her: "Your husband is really good to you. I wish I could have such a good husband."

Su Xia didn't quite understand. She pointed at herself and said, "Me? Infected with the virus?"

There was a small disinfection room outside the isolation ward. As soon as she finished speaking, several doctors came in wearing the same protective clothing after disinfection.
