Their car drove out of the compound very smoothly. This street, which was usually crowded with traffic, now had only a few cars speeding past.
But when their car turned into the road leading to the hospital, the number of vehicles suddenly increased, and it became congested. When they were still one road away from the hospital, the traffic was jammed.
Normally it would only take ten minutes to walk from their residence to the hospital, but this time it took them more than half an hour to reach the outskirts of the hospital.
If you want to drive to the hospital gate or parking lot, looking at the traffic jam in front of you, you may not be able to get in for another hour.
From the position of their car, they could just see the front of the hospital across the road. The scene could be described by an idiom: a sea of people.
When Father Lin saw this situation, he looked very anxious, but the problem was that he had no other choice.
Lin Kexin's heart gradually calmed down. She held Lin's mother and sat in the back of the car. She could feel the temperature of Lin's mother's body slowly decreasing and she stopped twitching.
Time passed by, and the convoy did not move at all. The weather today was not hot, and in order to prevent Lin's mother from getting too hot, the temperature of the air conditioner in the car was very low. Although Lin's father did not look anxious, he was sweating all the time, which showed how worried he was about Lin's mother.
Seeing that if things continued like this, they didn’t know how long it would take to get to the hospital. Finally, Father Lin made up his mind: “Xiao Ke, crawl over here and drive. I’ll take your mother across the road to the hospital.”
"Dad, Mom's fever has gone down." Lin Kexin touched her mother's forehead again before speaking.
Father Lin turned around and looked at Lin Kexin in disbelief. He had some understanding of the flu, which had been identified as an epidemic by the country, and that was why he was so worried about his wife's illness. He thought Lin Kexin was comforting him when she said this.
But when he saw Lin Kexin's serious expression, and the fact that he did not hear Lin's mother's moans, Lin's father believed it a little.
When Father Lin turned back from the driver's seat, he leaned over and touched Mother Lin's forehead. Mother Lin seemed to be awakened by his touch. She opened her eyes and asked vaguely, "What are you doing?"
Father Lin looked very excited. He placed his hand on Mother Lin's forehead again. After making sure that her fever had really subsided, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"My head hurts, and my body hurts too." Mother Lin complained as she sat up straight and looked around: "Where are we going?"
Although Mother Lin said that she felt pain all over her body, her expression and tone showed that she was recovering, or at least her condition was not bad.
"You had a fever and fainted before, and we were just about to send you to the hospital," Lin's father replied.
Father Lin looked at Mother Lin's condition again, then turned to Lin Kexin and asked, "Xiao Ke, did you give Mom something to eat?"
"Before you came back, Mom had a high fever of almost 41 degrees, and her whole body was convulsing very badly. I thought there would be a lot of people in the hospital...so I gave Mom the medicine I made myself." Lin Kexin said a little uneasily.
She did not seek the consent of the two elders and took the initiative to give Lin's mother the medicine. This was wrong.
"Thank you, your medicine should be very effective." Father Lin not only did not blame her, but also expressed his gratitude.
Father Lin looked to the left. The road leading to the hospital was jam-packed, but the road on the left leading out of the hospital was empty. He backed the car out and drove back the way he came.
"Aren't we going to the hospital?" Lin Kexin asked puzzledly.
"I'll tell you when we get back." said Father Lin.
When he got home, Lin's father told some of the things he knew.
It turns out that this influenza-like epidemic is not only found in City B, but exists all over the world. It’s just that it’s more severe in some places and less severe in others.
This flu is a new type of epidemic disease. It broke out suddenly yesterday afternoon. Traditional flu drugs are completely useless and cannot reduce the patient's fever.
So far, no one who had a fever and was in a coma has been able to wake up. At 10 o'clock this morning, more than 3,000 people had died in City B alone. According to statistics from relevant agencies in Huaguo, the epidemic in City B is still moderate.
In this modern society, it is very scary that the epidemic has caused such a high death rate in such a short period of time, considering that there are still thousands of patients in the hospital.
After taking Lin Kexin's medicine, Lin's mother's fever subsided and she regained consciousness in about an hour, which could be considered a miracle.
"Do you use the recipe from our world to make the potion?" asked Father Lin.
"The prescription is from our place, but the herbs are from this world." Lin Kexin said.
"Then, can it be used by the country?" Father Lin felt a little embarrassed. This should be a secret recipe, and it was not nice for him to ask like this, but so many people were in danger, so he had no choice but to be thick-skinned.
"Okay, Dad, you just make the arrangements. I'll go write out the prescription." Lin Kexin said. She understood her father's heart.
Lin's father was a soldier. Although he was only an employee of an arms factory, he was very loyal to his country.
Although Lin Kexin was not unfamiliar with this world, she still had a poor sense of integration. She had never thought of using the potion to save other people. However, she had no objection if Lin's father wanted it. This was not a precious prescription, and she was happy to be able to save people.
Father Lin took the prescription and some potions prepared by Lin Kexin and was about to go out again. Mother Lin understood his worries and said to him, "My fever has subsided and I am awake now. Apart from being a little weak, I don't feel any other discomfort. Go ahead and do your things. If I feel uncomfortable, I will tell you and Xiaoke immediately."
Father Lin nodded and said to Lin Kexin, "Xiao Ke, pay attention to your mother."
Mother Lin spoke lightly to Father Lin, but after Father Lin left, she could no longer conceal the fatigue on her face. The epidemic had caused great damage to her body.
"This epidemic must be very poisonous. Mom, you just had a high fever and your body must be much weaker. You need to rest well." Lin Kexin said.
"Well, I'll go in and lie down for a while. Thank you so much, Xiaoke, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."
Father Lin was out for a long time, but he called back a few times to ask about Mother Lin's condition. Although Mother Lin had been resting, she no longer had a fever.
When Lin's father came back in the evening, he said to Lin Kexin happily, "The medicine you gave me is quite effective. The fever of those who took it has gone down. The medicine made by the people in the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine according to your prescription is not as effective as the one you made, but it can also reduce fever. The country has noted your contribution to donating medicine, and will commend you when the epidemic is over."
At about 11 o'clock at night, Lin's mother had a fever again. Lin's father was worried about her and stayed by her side. Therefore, when Lin's mother's temperature started to rise, Lin's father knew about it and fed her the medicine given by Lin Kexin.
This time, Mother Lin only had a low fever and was not unconscious. After drinking the medicine made by Lin Kexin, her fever went away in about half an hour.
Lin Kexin and Lin's father finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time it was just a low fever and the patient was very awake, so they were not panicked.
