Chapter 319
Not long after, the attending doctor strolled in, fully armed.
A few minutes after entering the patient’s room, he suddenly burst out, urgently asking: “Farrah, you didn’t touch anything in this room just now, did you?”
Seeing the doctor so anxious, Farrah’s face turned pale, and she quickly shook her head. “No, I didn’t touch anything!”
The doctor said: “The patient has been infected with an unknown virus that’s super contagious. The two people inside have already caught it too. This virus is very scary, and our hospital doesn’t have the medical technology to treat it!”
“You’re her mother, so you need to take him home and quarantine him for now. When the international medical experts arrive, we’ll treat him.”
A virus?
This is one of the top hospitals in the country. If they won’t take Colton, she might get infected just on the way home!
Farrah turned pale with fright, quickly backing away, fearful of touching the doctor’s protective gear. “Doctor, you’re joking, right? My son has always been healthy. How could he suddenly get infected with a virus?”
The doctor paused, then let out a sigh: “He was poisoned before, and you said he was missing before he came home, so it’s highly likely that he got infected during that time. There is an incubation period, and he’s just now showing symptoms.”
“Right now, I can only use drugs to maintain his vital signs; and there’s no better treatment. Our hospital has a lot of patients, I have to consider the others, so Farrah, please take him home for now.”
“No, no, no, Farrah was in total denial, “Doctor, how can you ask me to take him home? If I get infected, won’t I be done for?”
“Doctor, you can’t do this!”
The doctor said: “As long as you wear protective gear, you won’t get infected. You’re his mother. Now’s when he needs you the most. How can you just abandon him?” “Doctor, can this virus be cured?” Farrah was scared out of her wits, “And also, if it can be cured, are there any after–effects?”
The doctor said: “I’ve never seen this virus before, so I don’t know if it can be cured. But right now, you need to hurry and take him away, or else if the virus spreads, the entire hospital is over!”
Would the whole hospital be over? Farrah was horrified. She’d been hoping for Colton’s death. How could she possibly take him home?
Colton was poisoned by her and infected with a virus. It looked like he won’t be around much longer,
Once Colton died, she could rightfully claim all of the Fortner family’s wealth!
With these thoughts, Farrah and her bodyguards made a beeline for the exit!
Seeing her leaving, the doctor called out urgently: “How could you do this! He’s your son. Are you going to abandon him?”
“How can you be so heartless. If you give up on him he’ll definitely die!”
Farrah had been hoping for Colton’s death, so hearing the doctor say that Colton will definitely die, she left even quicker!
After watching them disappear into the elevator, Keen immediately walked out: “Caldwell, thanks for your help just now.”
“Dr. Banfield, if I wasn’t wearing a mask, there’s no way my lousy acting could have fooled those people!” Caldwell scratched his head a bit embarrassedly. “But Dr. Banfield, what’s with these lumps on your face?
“I’m fine. Just help me prepare a stretcher and ambulance. I need to take Colton away.” Farrah was only temporarily fooled. Once she came to her senses, she would probably come looking for the doctor again. Before that happened, he needed to get Colton out of there.
“Alright, I’m on it.”
