Chapter 1974
The Target Madilyn froze.
If Lucian shared the same notion with Roxanne, then that was a highly likely scenario.
In other words, someone with evil intentions had deliberately sent that patient to the hospital to cause chaos and spread the disease.
“But why would someone do this?” Madilyn wondered out loud, confused and shocked.
Roxanne narrowed her eyes.
“There are two possibilities for this.
One is to ruin our hospital and make us suffer alongside the patient.
They might be aiming to kill us as well.
Another is that this pathogenic bacterium might exist in other countries, but as there are no recorded instances of this bacterium in our country, we don't have the necessary drugs for treatment.
Eventually, we'll get the drugs from overseas, but by then, our hospital will already be embroiled in a major case.
Our reputation will suffer, and soon, the hospital will shut down.” “Is that why you're asking us to find out more details about the pathogenic bacteria on the international forums?” Madilyn deduced, impressed by how her good friend was capable of making swift judgments despite the dire circumstances.
Roxanne nodded.
Right then, Lucian said to Madilyn, “You might be the target.” Madilyn inhaled sharply at that.
“You're the director of the hospital, so you have a heavy weight on your shoulders.
If things take a turn for the worse, not only will you lose your job as the director, but you might even be held accountable for the incident by the law.
The same would happen for Roxanne.
After all, she's still the head of the hospital.” A moment of rumination had made Lucian figure that the person bchind this would not dare to mess with his wife directly.
Everyonc knew that it was a fight against the outbreak of a contagious disease.
Roxanne's presence and her capability to curb the symptoms with her acupuncture skills made everyone feel at case.
They all treated it as a mere cold and took the opportunity to rest.
In the meantime, in a tall building opposite the hospital, Coralie was watching the people rushing around in the hospital with binoculars while sitting in front of an office desk.
While she was keeping an eye on the situation, the vehicles from the Centers for Disease Control soon arrived at the hospital and imposed a lockdown in the building.
At that, a look of displeasure crossed Coralic’s face.
She muttered under her breath, “That's strange.
Why are they reacting so quickly? That can't be it.
Did the patient die? Is that why they grew wary?” Someone was standing behind Coralic, and the perfume wafting off her was a scent that made Coralie feel uncomfortable.
