Chapter 1740
Madam Quartley then asked the doctor, "Doctor, will he be alright without someone to watch over him? Isn't there someone from the hospital that can do that?"
The doctor then responded, "Of course we have staff who can take care of him, but even though he has been infected with the WT virus, he is still conscious. Having someone close to the patient care for him will improve his chances of recovery. But I understand that this is a very risky thing to do, so it's fine if no one is willing to do it."
Yuliana quickly responded, "I really want to be there for him, but my body..."
After a brief pause, Yuliana seemed to have made up her mind. "Fine, I'll go in with him. Although my body will collapse after staying with him for a day due to the infection, I have to be with him. It's worth the risk."
Madam Quartley then spoke gravely, "Yuliana, don't be silly. Zorion is infected, you'll die for nothing if you do that! You should just take good care of yourself and wait for Zorion to get better!"
After a brief pause, Madam Quartley said, "That's settled then. No one needs to stay with Zorion.
Although Zorion would recover faster if someone did, we can't let any of us take that risk!"
Madam Quartley doted heavily on Zorion.
Even though Zorion had grown up with an underdeveloped brain, she loved Zorion a lot more than she loved Tremaine.
But she wasn't ignorant.
She wasn't going to risk another person's life just for the chance that Zorion would have a speedier recovery.
If she could, she would risk her own safety for Zorion's sake, but doing that would only cause more complications for her to get infected at her age.
Then the doctor said, "Madam Quartley, I forgot to mention. The best case scenario would be to have someone who has already been infected with the WT virus before to take care of him. If someone who has been infected with the WT virus and has already overcome it's symptoms, they would have then developed an immunity to the virus and won't get infected again."
As soon as the doctor finished his explanation, Yuliana turned around with red eyes and cried out loud, "Oh why haven't I been infected with the virus before?! If only I had been infected, then I could have gone in there with him."
Madam Quartley pitied Yuliana, she looked so miserable.
Her granddaughter-in-law was so sincere towards her grandson!
She held Yuliana's hand and said, "Yuliana, it's okay. Even though he doesn't have anyone to take care of him, he'll be fine! Zorion is blessed. God will take care of him."
Yuliana sneered in her mind.
"Doubt it!"
"I wish he'd die already!"
If he really was blessed, he wouldn't have been born with an under-developed brain!
Tremaine was the one who was blessed!
If these were ancient times.
He would be heaven's son!
Yuliana really hoped that Zorion would succumb to the virus and die as soon as possible. Then she could be with Tremaine.
After all, he was already interested in her,
Zorion was the only thing standing between them.
No one else in the family had ever been infected with the WT virus before.
So Madam Quartley had decided not to send anyone to take care of Zorion.
Just as she was about to declare this, a small voice suddenly asked, "Doctor, if someone has been infected with the WT virus once before, they won't get infected again?"
Everyone suddenly turned around and looked at Ruth.
Ruth had been standing quietly in the corner of the room, completely unnoticed by everyone in the room.
"Yes, anyone who has been infected once before will be immune to it," the doctor confirmed.
Ruth took a deep breath.
Suddenly, the corners of her lips lifted up. "Doctor, I've been infected with the WT virus before, I have."
The doctor replied happily, "That's great."
Madam Quartley was overjoyed.
She recognized Ruth as one of Yuliana's servants. Since she often took care of Zorion, she was considered someone close to him.
She then said, "Why didn't you tell us sooner? You will take care of Zorion then."
Ruth nodded. "Don't worry, Madam Quartley. I will take good care of Mr. Zorion."
Yuliana looked at Ruth suspiciously.
"Ruth had been infected with the WT virus before?"
She never knew.
Ruth had been a servant for her family ever since she was a child. If Ruth had been infected with a serious infection, she definitely would have known.
But there wasn't any time for her to ask.
Because Ruth had already changed into a set of sterilized clothing and went straight into the quarantine room to accompany Zorion.
Inside the quarantine room.
Zorion was fast asleep.
He was lying on the bed, his face was red.
Ruth sat down beside Zorion.
No one could hear her inside the room, so Ruth said, "Mr. Zorion, Madam Quartley said that you were blessed and that you'd come out of this fine. So you didn't need anyone to take care of you. I didn't agree with her however."
Having said this, Ruth smiled bitterly and said, "M, Zorion, the truth is I feel that you're actually very unlucky. You love your wife so much, but she doesn't care for you at all and would much rather see you dead. That doesn't sound very blessed at all."
She then bit her lip. "That's why I came in to accompany you, Mr. Zorion. Don't be afraid. I'll stay here with you. No matter what happens, I'll be here with you."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During those three days, Tremaine travelled back and forth from the President's Office and the hospital.
Zorion's condition wasn't changing but he was still at risk of losing his life. Even though Tremaine never showed it, he was extremely anxious.
Apart from handling governmental affairs at the office, he stayed at the hospital day and night.
He never went back to the Quartley Palace.
Montez hadn't seen Tremaine for several days.
He didn't know where he was either.
For fear of causing him unnecessary worry, the adults had avoided telling Montez about Zorion's condition.
Montez asked the butler about what was happening.
The butler was quite reluctant to say
that he was quite annoyed at Montez's persistent questioning then finally said, "Mr. Tremaine is at the hospital. He has been keeping an eye on his brother who has contracted the WT virus."
The butler had spoken to him very softly, so Montez didn't catch the whole sentence.
He thought he heard him say that Tremaine had been infected with the WT virus.
He had no idea what the WT virus was.
When he asked the butler again, the butler wouldn't respond.
Montez thought about this for some time then decided to ask Yesseca about it.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
It just so happened that he hadn't called her in awhile.
He took this opportunity to call her.
Montez dialed Yesseca's number.
A moment later, he heard Yesseca's voice, "Hi Montez."
Montez's heart filled with joy when she heard her voice.
After chatting with Yesseca for a little while, Montez then asked, "Yesseca, I was told that my daddy was infected with the WT virus and was taken to
the hospital. What is the WT virus? Is it like a cold or something?"
Montez didn't think much about it. He assumed this was just a minor thing, like catching a cold.
Yesseca heard Montez say that Tremaine had been infected with the WT virus.
She gripped her phone. "Montez, what did you just say?"
