The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 1078 - Someone Deliberately Attempted to Infect Her

Chapter 1078: Someone Deliberately Attempted to Infect Her

It was already 11 PM by the time they returned to the castle.

The maids had all turned in for the night so the castle was very quiet.

He Xiyan gave Xi Xi a bathe and lulled her to sleep. Yuan Yuan was a little older, so he could already get in the bath on his own and he also slept in his own room.

He Xiyan felt very exhausted after the events over the past few days. She felt very drained and tired.

She didn’t even bathe before she collapsed on her bed and quickly drifted off to sleep.

She slept until it was 9 in the morning and didn’t even notice when her children left for school.

She finally felt as though some strength and energy had been restored after sleeping for ten hours. She didn’t look as haggard but she still couldn’t bring herself to feel happy because today was the day she had to go to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention for a check-up.

It has been 28 days since she had been attacked by a knife and a large majority of those who had been infected would know whether they had been infected by the fourth week.

Thus, she had been notified by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention to head over to the center for a check-up today.

She washed up and went downstairs to eat a bowl of congee and an egg.

She didn’t have much of an appet.i.te but she forced herself to eat.

She could temporarily forget about the fact that she might possibly be a carrier of disease when she kept herself busy but once she had more time on her hands, this was the only thing she could think about. She felt very anxious and terrified just as those who engaged in high-risk activities that could lead to this disease felt.

She rushed over to the center around 11 AM and this was the first time she came to this place.

It wasn’t as large as an average hospital and she immediately spotted many posters the moment she walked into the center. These posters contained information and images on all sorts of communicable diseases, including AIDS, syphilis, HPV, and other forms of terrifying communicable diseases.

Most of those people who visited the center were very young and they were all wearing masks as though they didn’t want to be recognized.

This was her first time here, so she didn’t prepare a mask.

She went upstairs to the consultation room on the second floor after she did her blood test. There were physicians and staff available to counsel those who could possibly be carriers of these diseases.

“Please take a seat,” a staff member said as he gestured for her to sit and poured her a cup of water.

The staff member could tell that this woman looked as anxious and nervous as all the other young people who visited the center.

He handed her a form and asked her to complete the form with her mobile phone number and her identification details.

“Ms. He, there’s no need to be so nervous. This disease isn’t as terrifying as you think it is. It was a chronic disease, so it can be contained with the help of medication. There are many infected patients who don’t show any symptoms 20 years later and who live like ordinary people. There are many infected patients who even managed to give birth to healthy children with the help of doctors,” he said comfortingly. He was afraid that this woman would burst into tears like many other youths who visited the center and have a mental breakdown as though he had just delivered the death sentence.

He Xiyan nodded and asked, “I just did my blood test. If the test comes back negative, does that mean I haven’t been infected?”

All she wanted to know was the result of the blood test.

“You’ll know the results in an hour. If the test comes back negative, this means that it is very likely that you have not been infected. However, you’ll still need to come back for a follow-up check-up three months later. If the tests on your follow-up check-up come back negative, there is a 100% chance that you haven’t been infected. We know about your situation and have already spoken to the police about it, so we know that someone had deliberately attempted to infect you. Someone must have held a grudge against you, so please try to watch what you say in order to prevent this from happening again.”
