Night Wanderer

Chapter 42 I don't know when we'll meet again

The second sister was already burning with anger, but Rong Ying's words doused most of that fire. Her nostrils twitched, and she was left with a face full of anger that she had nowhere to vent.

Sheng Qingrang turned around and looked at Zong Ying at the door. He obviously did not expect her to come in: "Miss Zong?"

Zong Ying entered the building, not only because she was worried that Sheng Qingrang would get entangled with her family again, but also because of a subconscious reminder as a doctor. As a result, she heard the second sister arguing with her husband as soon as she arrived at the door and completely rejecting Sheng Qingrang's well-meaning warning—

At a time like this, failing to prioritize properly was irresponsible not only to her child and herself but also to others.

Zong Ying continued: "Vomiting and diarrhea are not necessarily cholera, but typical cholera symptoms after returning from the epidemic area must be handled with caution. If it is really cholera and is ignored, Ah Hui may suffer from dehydration, shock, or even death due to severe vomiting and diarrhea, and everyone in this building will also face the risk of infection."

Her voice was neither loud nor low, but it exuded a sense of authority. It was as if her voice alone filled the entire house.

Second sister knew there was an epidemic outside, but she always believed it only affected the refugee areas—never imagining it could reach her. So, she pointed at Zong Ying and snapped, "You—you're fearmongering!"

Zong Ying walked over and handed the newspaper to her, saying, "It's not too late to draw a conclusion after you read it."

The social news section of the rented newspaper contained an announcement from the Health Bureau, which explained the current situation of the epidemic, reminded the residents of the concession to be vigilant, and required them to go to the cholera hospital specially set up in the concession for isolated treatment if any suspected symptoms appeared.

Although the second sister's English was not very good, she could at least understand the notice. Before she could come to her senses, the second brother-in-law snatched the newspaper and glanced at it quickly. His tone and behavior immediately became anxious: "Hurry up, tell Uncle Yao to take Ah Hui to the hospital immediately. Where is the hospital that specializes in treating cholera?"

"Send him to what cholera hospital?!" The second sister's arrogance suddenly ignited again, and her tone was obviously higher: "That kind of hospital is a plague area in itself! If you go there, you will get sick even if you are not sick!"

Her voice was shrill. It practically pierced Zong Ying's eardrums. She frowned and replied, "Epidemic hospitals have professional disinfection and isolation procedures—"

Before she could finish, Second Sister interrupted, "Have you been there?"

"I've been there." Sheng Qingrang said, and walked quickly downstairs. He walked in front of Zong Ying, separating her from her second sister: "As Miss Zong said, they do have professional treatment procedures, and I also have friends who have recovered and been discharged from the hospital. The sooner cholera is treated, the safer it is, so we shouldn't waste any more time." He immediately turned to his second brother-in-law and said, "It's better to send him to the hospital as soon as possible."

Although his second brother-in-law had some grudges against him, he was of the same mind at this time and immediately called the servants: "Hurry up and bring Ah Hui down, ask Uncle Yao to prepare the car, and we'll go to the hospital right away."

"Don't you dare!" Second Sister blocked the staircase herself, barring the servant from going up. Her eyes were full of panic, but she resisted instinctively, her voice growing more hysterical: "Even if it is cholera, we're not going to the hospital! Call the doctor here!"
