Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 745 I'm Afraid There Wouldn't Be A Good Ending

"Please don't say that, Miss Qian. I believe Leo is serious about you. He didn't have a girlfriend when he was still in college. At that time, our tutor wanted to introduce him to a lot of girls, but he wasn't interested in any of them." Audrey took off the glasses. With a black frame, the pair of radiation-proof blue light glasses had been given to her by Leo.

One year ago, Audrey's eyes had some severe irritation. Her eyes were red for a whole week because she had been staring at the computer for a long time. Leo was very considerate to send her the pair.

From then on, Audrey would wear the glasses every time she would use a computer. It had become a habit.

"Really? He didn't even have one girlfriend during his college years?" Milla had suspicion all over her face as she rolled her eyes. It was really hard for her to believe that Leo hadn't been in love.

Milla felt that if ordinary people like her could experience love, how could Leo, a man who was so adept at schemes and plots, not be in love yet?

Everyone had experienced the magic of falling in love and being loved in return while they were growing up.

"I don't know..." Audrey smiled, but it wasn't from the bottom of her heart. It seemed shallow and empty. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Milla couldn't hear clearly over the phone. She just thought that Audrey was a nice person.

At that time, Leo came out of the bathroom to Milla's surprise. The man was not wearing anything on his upper body. Not just that, he was only wearing boxer briefs to cover the lower part of his body. Baring his wide shoulders and thin waist, Milla could clearly see that his body was comparable to a male model of a prestigious fashion show. The standard eight pack abs outlined his attractive male figure. Even from a distance, he was breathtaking.

Holding Leo's phone, Milla blinked for a few seconds before she found her voice. "Well... Uhm... Your senior is here."

Audrey raised her eyebrows. Her mood was instantly lifted. She picked up a pen, opened the notebook which she had prepared and smiled gently. "Okay."

Leo noticed that Milla was holding his phone, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he calmly walked to the bed and took the phone, which Mila had kindly handed over to him. Looking at the caller ID, he slowly said, "Hello, Audrey."

"Leo, I'm really sorry to bother you at this late hour. I just have a question to ask you, but I don't know if you can give me the answer." Audrey smiled in an elegant and dignified manner. However, her posture was a little stiff.

"Okay, tell me." Leo's tone was calm. He wasn't even embarrassed or bothered by talking to someone while he's next to Milla.

Milla stared at him with a blank expression on her face. Since Leo had come back, she thought that she didn't have anything to worry about. She could just let him talk with his junior classmate from college. With that thought in mind, Milla blinked her tired eyes and got into the bed.

"I don't know much about experimenting with bacteria from the blood. Will the coagulation function of the blood be damaged once a person was injected with some sort of bacteria?" Audrey put on her glasses once again and adjusted it at the bridge of her nose with her slender finger.

"I'm not so sure about this. It depends on which kind of bacteria it is. If it's the kind of bacteria that can damage the coagulation function, then it will definitely have a significant impact," Leo stated with a frown. He then pursed his thin lips tightly while thinking about the situation a little more.

"Then, can you detect all of the bacteria which had been injected in his body in a short period of time?" Audrey carefully asked while she recorded the information in her notebook.

"Yes, basically, the bacteria can spread and immediately cause damage upon entering the human body. Either they are devoured by some cells in the human body, or they enter some cells and use these as hosts to produce more viruses. But as far as I know, some of them will remain stagnant inside the human body for a while before they can do any damage. For example, the incubation period of AIDS can last for many years." Leo turned a little and looked at Milla with his sharp and cold eyes.

He noticed that while he was talking on the phone, Milla was also holding her own phone and laughing a lot. He didn't know what she was looking at.

Audrey immediately frowned and said, "So, there's no way we can detect and examine the bacteria?"

"Not really. If we can extract some bone marrow samples from the patient, there is still hope in this case. But we need a lot of specimens, and we need it from every part of his body. Some of the bacteria are hidden in certain organs or blood vessels. Anyway, who has been injected with the bacteria?" Leo asked while squinting his eyes at Milla.

"It's Mr. Jin's son. It's possible that someone has injected his body with the bacteria. We haven't confirmed it yet, but I'm looking into it right now."

"What? Nathan's son was injected with bacteria?!" Upon hearing the information, Leo became serious. Even his tone was a little more severe.

Milla was startled when Leo raised his voice. Her hand that was holding the phone froze for a second. She turned around and looked at Leo with confusion. Out of shock, her mouth was wide open, and her eyes were completely focused on him.

Did she hear it wrong? She couldn't believe that Nathan's son had been injected with a bacteria.

"It's possible. We've already taken some samples of his blood and had it tested. However, we still don't know the result," Audrey explained.

"Well, what kind of tests have you done? How is the boy?"

"Something is wrong with the coagulation of his blood. But everything else is normal for the time being." Audrey bit her lips and felt deeply frustrated.

It turned out that Mandy was right after all. Because Audrey did not have sufficient knowledge and experience about Adrian's condition, she would become the laughing stock of the hospital.

"If this is the case, then it's going to be very complicated and dangerous from here on out. If there is a problem with the blood coagulation, we're going to have a lot of problems. First and foremost, the process of extracting the bone marrow is going to be critical."

"But... It's still safe to extract some bone marrow samples. Besides, the body can regenerate the bone marrow on its own," Audrey said in bewilderment. She shook the tip of her pen. She couldn't understand why she was getting more and more confused while talking to Leo.

"That's right. But since there's something wrong with his blood coagulation, everything is different now. Even if we extract some bone marrow samples, it's possible that we won't find the virus in there." The expression on Leo's face darkened when he spoke. He had never encountered such a difficult problem. And now, Audrey was the one handling this. But even if it was his responsibility, Leo was certain that he would have headaches for days or weeks.

"Leo, what should we do? The child is really cute. I don't want anything bad to happen to him."

"First of all, you should test his blood again. You also need to do a thorough physical examination on the child. If both tests show that he's fine, then you don't need to extract the bone marrow. But if there's something wrong with his blood, it could cause inflammation and other complications. By then, you can

conclude that the bacteria resides in the blood. Since blood circulates in every part of the human body, it can be removed by anti-bodies. If the bacteria is very potent, that would mean it would be hard to completely eliminate it. By then, the only thing to do is to test the bone marrow." Leo narrowed his eyes a little and met Milla's eyes. The expression on his face was hard to read.

"Okay, I get it. Thank you, Leo." Audrey was starting to have a severe headache. According to Leo, Adrian was certainly in a critical condition, and there was a high possibility that it could only get worse from here on out.
