Wife is Fierce, Don’t Mess With Her! - Chapter 532

Chapter 532: Shouting For Her Mother in Her Dreams
There was an army officer on patrol downstairs.

Upon seeing Gu Qian and the rest, he walked over intending to interrogate them, but when he heard that Gu Qingjiu was running a fever, he immediately notified the infirmary.

He also notified Gu Qingjiu’s commanding officer, just in case.

When they reached the infirmary, the doctor was already dressed up.

“Why did she suddenly catch a cold?”

The doctor realized the students brought in a rather familiar-looking lady. “Wasn’t she the young lady who came in here previously?”

Gu Qingjiu left a deep impression on her because she was pretty.

Upon closer look, the doctor noticed that Qi Xiaoran had also been around before.

The doctor also had a rather deep impression of her.

“Yeah, Doctor, can you please look at what’s wrong with Qingjiu?”

Gu Qian and the rest hurriedly brought Gu Qingjiu to the bed. The doctor checked by touching her forehead first, then checking her eyes, and then assessing Gu Qingjiu’s overall condition. With a solemn expression, she said, “Why did this child contract infectious influenza?”

“Infectious influenza?”

It puzzled Gu Qian. She knew a little about infectious influenza, but how did Gu Qingjiu get infected with it?

“I heard influenza has been spreading in the capital lately. But it’s not very serious, mainly because it’s not highly infectious,” Qi Xiaoran suddenly explained with a low voice.

The doctor nodded in agreement. “Lately, an infectious virus called HS1 has been spreading in the capital. It’s a flu virus. But only upon direct contact would one be infected with it. Moreover, there aren’t many of such cases, so it didn’t cause a widespread commotion. There are no such cases in our military school. Where did she get infected?”

The doctor’s question baffled the three of them.

They had no idea either.

“Gu Qingjiu went out yesterday. Is it because she ate something outside?”

Qi Xiaoran speculated. The teacher nodded in enlightenment. “That’s possible. If it wasn’t direct contact with the source, it’s hard to get infected with this flu.”

Unless she came into contact with contaminated stuff with poor handling whilst she was outside.

But how could they possibly know what Gu Qingjiu ate yesterday and with whom she was in contact?

“No, I can’t deal with this flu here. I’ll first try to ease her fever. We’ve got to send her to a hospital to get her on intravenous fluids.”

The doctor’s words made Gu Qian’s face turn pale. “Is it very… very serious?”

She had heard that back then, SARS killed plenty of people. “Of course, it’s serious when she’s sick with the virus. But so far, I haven’t heard of anyone dying from this virus. After dealing with the fever appropriately and giving her timely treatment, she should be okay. There’s no need for quarantine. Just don’t go close to her mouth when you speak. She won’t spread the virus to you guys if you follow this rule.”

“…”

Gu Qian and the rest were relieved to hear the doctor’s words.

They would only find out how Gu Qingjiu got infected with this virus after she woke up.

The doctor conducted some emergency measures. By then, the notified commanding officer was up and rushing to the infirmary in the middle of the night.

After learning of the situation, he naturally arranged for the school to send Gu Qingjiu to the hospital without hesitation.

Just in case, her dorm mates followed her to the hospital.

Because they had been in contact with Gu Qingjiu, the three of them had to go to the hospital for a checkup for safety considerations, even if this virus wasn’t alarming.

There weren’t enough facilities to do such a checkup back in the school.

The trio merely gazed at Gu Qingjiu in the vehicle.

Sleepy to begin with, they started dozing off.

In a half-awake state, Chu Lian heard someone saying, “Mom…”
