Chapter 527
The final stage would happen a short time after the third year. The patient would continuously cough out blood, have a lowered immune system, and have continuous fits of fever. They would suddenly die because the organs could no longer handle it.
Maisie thought of something and stood up, “By the way, if… if the sleeper virus didn’t have an incubation period and the patient started getting fever and coughing out blood soon after the infection, what kind of virus is it?”
Strix turned around to look at her, “That’s a mutated sleeper virus that makes people sick at an accelerated rate. The patient would only have three to four years left to live.”

He had spent three years in sickness, and even when she learned about it, he never showed her how much pain he was in..
“Zee, are you asking for Mr. Goldmann?”
Strix could tell. Maisie paused, then nodded.
