Chapter 95 Injected With Virus
Caleb, who had returned unexpectedly, suddenly had a change of heart. Subconsciously, he felt a strong urge to safely escort Erin back home. Just as he stepped out of the subway station, he was startled to find Erin lying on the ground.
Just as Caleb was about to rush over, another man arrived ahead of him. It was Hans.
“Miss Lane! Miss Lane!” Hans‘ expression was stern. He had been discreetly following Erin the whole time.
To prevent Erin from recognizing him, he had even disguised himself with a fisherman’s hat and a thick beard.
Without hesitation, Caleb also crouched down to assess Erin’s condition. Worriedly, he said, “Erin! Wake up, please…”
A crowd began to gather, and Hans immediately said, “We need to get her to the hospital right away! We can’t afford any further delays…”
He wanted to carry Erin himself, but considering Chandler might mind, Hans took the initiative and said, “Mr. Grant, could you kindly help carry Miss Lane? I’m Hans, Mr. Frost’s bodyguard, and it might not be appropriate for me to do so.”
Caleb glanced at him and, without a word, immediately lifted Erin into his arms. Hans quickly stepped forward to hail a taxi.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the nearest hospital with Erin.
Although it wasn’t a top–tier hospital like the Liberty General Hospital, at least this hospital was an upper first–class hospital.
Caleb and Hans waited outside the emergency room. Hans had already called and informed Chandler and Kyle about the incident. He asked Kyle to send someone to retrieve the surveillance footage from the surrounding area to identify the mysterious woman.
Over an hour later, Chandler and Logan rushed to the hospital.
Ten minutes ago, Erin was transferred from the emergency room to a VIP ward.
Chandler’s face was dark when he pushed open the door and entered the ward. Seeing Erin lying unconscious on the bed, still wearing an oxygen mask, he felt a wave of inexplicable anxiety in his heart.
His eyes turned cold as he looked at Hans, who knew he had failed his duty. Hans immediately approached him and lowered his head before saying, “Mr. Frost, it was my mistake! Please punish me!”
Chandler replied coldly, “You did indeed fail in your duty! I’ll punish you after Erin wakes up. Why is she still unconscious? What did the doctor say?”
“The doctor said Miss Lane has been infected with a rare virus. This virus can cause prolonged unconsciousness. If there is an antidote, she will wake up soon. Unfortunately, the hospital doesn’t have such an antidote.” Concern washed over Han’s face.
“What will happen if they can’t find the antidote?” Chandler’s eyes were trembling with unease.
Hans avoided Chandler’s gaze and said solemnly, “The doctor said if Miss Lane doesn’t receive the antidote, she will remain in a permanent coma until one day her brain ceases to function…”
Upon hearing this answer, Chandler flew into a rage and delivered a powerful kick toward Hans. Despite Hans‘ agile body, he couldn’t withstand such a close–range strike and stumbled back several steps before managing to regain his balance.
Logan and Caleb frowned. Chandler’s kick was so powerful. It must have caused Hans to have internal bleeding. “Gather all the experts in the city to develop the antidote as soon as possible! Make sure Kyle finds the woman in the surveillance footage!” Chandler strode toward Erin. He then pulled out a chair and sat beside her.
He never expected such an incident would occur just because he failed to accompany her home for one evening!
Chandler’s heart was consumed with guilt.
“Chandler, I’ll call Alan immediately and ask him to come over. Perhaps he knows something about this virus…” Logan’s expression was grave.
Chandler’s eyes were fixated on Erin as he held her hand, and a chill ran through his body. The mere thought of Erin being brain–dead sent shivers down his spine!
“Call him.”
Logan immediately stepped out of the ward to call Alan.
Face pale, Caleb stood in the room, consumed by regret. If only he had insisted on sending Erin back to the villa, she wouldn’t have been targeted and fell unconscious.
Five minutes later, Chandler turned around and said to Caleb, “Caleb, you should go back. There’s not much you can do here.”
Caleb maintained a stoic expression as he replied, “Chandler, I won’t leave until Erin wakes up.”
His unwavering determination drew a cold smirk on Chandler’s face. He responded, “Suit yourself. If you want to wait, go outside and wait. Right now, I don’t want to see anyone.”
Chandler’s mood was at its lowest, and he had no patience left, even for Caleb.
Caleb didn’t insist any further and exited the ward with a gloomy face.
Meanwhile, Hans had already left earlier to attend to some matters.
At three in the morning, Alan walked into the ward wearing a white coat. He removed his mask and said to Chandler, Chandler, I have identified the composition of the virus. An overseas hospital has also sent an email confirming the existence
of an antidote for this virus!”
Chandler immediately stood up and asked, “Where is the antidote?”
“They require a series of approvals and procedures there. It will take at least a week to obtain the antidote.” Alan’s expression was extremely grave, clearly displeased with their response.
Chandler cursed upon hearing Alan’s words. Soon, he forced himself to calm down and started thinking of other solutions.
No one could guarantee Erin wouldn’t be brain–dead within this week!
Now it was a race against time to save her life!
Chandler uttered, “Alan, negotiate with the other party. Regardless of the cost, I want them to provide the antidote as soon as possible! Call Mike and see if he has access to this antidote! I’ll go find my uncle now.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“Alright, once either of us has any news, we’ll inform each other.”
Chandler immediately noticed Caleb, who had been waiting in the corridor, as he exited the ward with Alan. He said, “You go in and take care of her. I’m heading to the military base now. Give me a call if anything happens!”
Caleb nodded and replied, “Alright! Don’t worry. I’ve got it covered.”
Chandler drove straight to the military camp on the city’s outskirts.
Over two hours later, Chandler arrived at his destination, looking disheveled and exhausted. Holding a special pass, he drove his car directly into the military camp.
In less than twenty minutes, Chandler’s uncle, Andrew Frost, returned to his own quarters.
As soon as he arrived, Chandler explained the purpose of his visit.
Andrew seemed troubled when he heard the story but couldn’t ignore the matter that concerned Erin’s life and death.
He said, “Chandler, I will report to the higher–ups immediately and strive to speed up the approval of the antidote. I will also order a thorough investigation to determine if this virus has leaked from our side.”
Chandler was shocked to hear Andrew’s words. He didn’t expect such a virus to exist within the country!
If he had given up the thought of approaching Andrew at first, Erin might have missed the opportunity to recover earlier.
After five agonizing hours of waiting, they finally received news.
Andrew hung up and said, “Don’t worry. I have arranged for Simon to deliver the antidote personally. He is currently rushing to the airport.”
His words temporarily eased the heavy burden in Chandler’s heart. Surprised, he asked, “Simon is back? When did he return?”
