Chapter 1593
Anne went to the hospital for a checkup and confirmed that the black spots were the onset symptoms of being infected.
Also, within 24 hours, the fluid would start oozing out of the ulcers.
Therefore, the clothes that she wore and the things that she used from then on had to be disinfected and destroyed.
Otherwise, if another were to use them, he or she would be infected.
It would not be fatal, but the person would be in great pain.
Of course, if the person were being treated like Lucia did, the symptoms would be relieved, but the virus would still be there.
When this spot got better, the ulcer would appear at another spot. They could only treat the symptoms but not cure the condition.
Anne lowered her gaze and stared at the floor without making a sound.
Someone then held her hand that was placed on her lap. She subconsciously wanted to break free, but when she looked up, her eyes met Anthony’s deep, black eyes.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here."
"I want to stay alone," Anne requested.
"No."
"But I will infect other people!"
"We'll stay apart from the children," said Anthony.
"But you..."
"Don't you even think of leaving my line of sight," Anthony said domineeringly.
Anne felt that Anthony was truly a stubborn man. He simply would not listen to anything she said, which made her anxious and helpless.
Kathryn, who was next to them, said, ‘It's better for Mr. Marwood to be with you. Even if he was infected, it's good for you to get treated together."
Anne looked at Kathryn in shock. Was that something a doctor should say? She was even Anthony's personal physician!
Kathryn smiled politely.
She was helpless too! She was simply voicing out what Anthony had in mind.
This man had long been hopelessly in love with Anne.
How could he stay away when such a thing had happened to Anne? If he had to trade his life for hers, he absolutely would not hesitate at all.
"Were you in contact with the infected person in Athetin?" asked Anthony.
Anne shook her head. "No. I didn't even meet the other person in the past, either. The only person who came in contact with him was Lucia. But this toxin can only lie dormant in the body for three days. In other words, I was infected when I was in Athetin. Three days ago..." Was that not...
"What came to mind?" Anthony stared at the interesting expression on her face. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"It's the day Beth and Marshall passed away," said Anne.
"Tell me everything about that day in detail."
"I was keeping Ashlynn accompanied at that time. Then, I received a call from Corentin saying that something had happened. I went over immediately. When I got to the place, I saw that Beth and Marshall had been murdered. I did touch them at that time because I helped when
Jeremy carried them into the car. I don't think there's anything else..." Anne carefully recalled the details of what happened that day.
Kathryn asked, "If both you and Jeremy had signs of being infected, then that means there's something wrong with the bodies."
Anne immediately took out her phone and gave Jeremy a call. "Just wanted to ask, do you have any signs like black spots on your body?'
"Black spots?"
"Like skin that's about to rot."
"I wasn't paying attention." Jeremy was completely out of it. His parents had died, so he did not have the time to even care about himself at all.
"Check your body now. I'll wait for your call," said Anne, then she hung up the call.
She then continued to think about what had happened that day.
Anthony just stayed kneeling in front of her without making a sound or interrupting her.
Was it Tommy or Corentin's scheme? Regardless of who it was, he certainly had to let them have the most severe punishment!
Anne immediately answered the call when her phone rang. "Do you have any?"
"No."
"Not even a little? Did you look closely?"
"I took off all my clothes to check," said Jeremy.
Anne shook her head at Kathryn and Anthony. In other words, the bodies were not the problem.
