Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 718

"This kind of bacteria can hide in the human body very well. It's impossible to detect it during the early stage of infection. Furthermore, if we need to know more about it, we have to extract a lot of blood from him. The body of a four-year-old won't be able to bear it." John sighed helplessly while shaking his head.

At that moment, the expression on Nathan's face looked rigid. He almost looked furious. He said in a somewhat ferocious tone, "So, what are we supposed to do? Are we going to just wait and do nothing?"

"Not really. If by any chance, another kind of bacteria enters Adrian's body, this bacteria may act as an anti-body that could kill the existing bacteria. In this case, he can be cured."

"That method is widely used in the medical world. But the chances of success are really low. What if the bacteria in Adrian's body is more powerful? The existing bacteria will just absorb the anti-body. And what if Adrian's body rejects the anti-body, and it becomes toxic for him?" Mandy asked in a serious tone. The expression on her face was turning a little bit sullen.

"You're right, Mrs. Jin. But I really think that the only thing we can do for now is to wait. Take him to the hospital regularly for physical examination. If we still don't see any symptoms after six months, then that means we have nothing to worry about," John asserted.

The atmosphere in the living room became dreary right away. Everyone had a deadpan expression on their faces. Nathan, Nacy, and Simon, who didn't study medicine, realized the seriousness of the matter as well.

Mandy closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath. Somehow, she felt so much pain in the deepest part of her heart. It really seemed as if Adrian had been targeted by Eve. 'Damn you, Eve! If you really did this, I will make sure that you'll suffer! When I'm done with you, you'll wish you were dead instead.'

It wasn't long after that when John left.

Originally, Nacy and Simon had come to ask if there was any progress in the matter of the perfume. But with what was happening to Adrian, they had set it aside for now.

Instead, Nathan told Nacy about what happened. For the past few years, Eve became really close to a person called Doctor Ouyang. The doctor specialized in the study of bacterium. It looked like the doctor had the ability to kill people easily.

"Nathan, Mand, let's try to calm down first and think about this logically. What if we're just overthinking and jumping to conclusions?" Nacy tried to ease the tension in the room.

"Yes, I know. Don't worry. I'll go and read some books on bacteria. I refuse to believe that there is no cure for this one." Then, Mandy pressed on her forehead as she felt her temples aching a little. Her face was still pale by that point.

Then, Simon noticed the time and realized that it was very late already. He stood up, held Nacy's hand, and said, "It's getting late, we'd better go home now." He then turned to the rest of the group and said, "You need to have some rest, too. Don't stress yourself too much. We'll find a solution soon enough."

"You're right," Mandy and Nathan answered in unison. Then, both of them stood up to bid their goodbyes to Nacy and Simon.

The autumn night breeze that night was cold, sending shivers and goosebumps over their skin. The entire city was lit up while Nathan's eyes were as dark as the ocean. He and Mandy were silently standing in the yard.

A gust of wind, which was especially strong, blew in their direction. Instantly, several leaves fell from the tree. Mandy looked at the starry sky above her, but she couldn't appreciate the night view.

Nathan reached out his arms and embraced her more tightly. But the man restrained his strength with so much care so as not to hurt her. He pursed his thin lips and looked at her intently. "Mand, no matter what will happen in the future, I'll be with you. We'll protect Adrian together. I will never let you face any challenges by yourself."

Upon hearing what he said, Mandy was dazed for a while. She didn't expect that Nathan would suddenly be so affectionate. With his words alone, she was really moved to tears. She sniffed, and a stream of hot liquid filled her eyes. Then, she felt a lump in her throat. "What are you doing? Why are you suddenly becoming so sentimental?"

"I'm only like this when it comes to you. Don't be too bothered by it. Adrian is a lucky boy, and he will be fine." His deep voice was like the sound of the violoncello. After listening to it, Mandy was finally able to calm down.
