On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 127 Infectious Influenza

Seeing that the fever reducer was not working, Wang Lichun did not dare to delay and quickly took her twin brothers to the hospital.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Liu Yuwen carrying Tiantian in her arms, walking hurriedly.

"Yuwen, what's wrong?"

"Tian Tian has a fever that won't go down, so I'm taking her to the hospital."

"What? Sweetie has a fever too? My two kids have fevers too, let's go together!"

The two of them took the child and went to the hospital together.

Upon arrival at the hospital, the doctor measured their temperatures, which were found to be 39 degrees Celsius.

"When did the fever start?"

The doctor examined the twin brothers while asking about their condition.

"Around noon, they were fine at school in the morning, but started having a fever when they came home at noon. They complained of headaches, sore throats, and weakness. I gave them fever reducers at home, but it didn't work. Doctor, what's wrong?"

Wang Lichun explained the situation and looked at the twin brothers, whose faces were flushed red with worry.

"We don't know the specifics yet, but it doesn't look like a common cold. I'll give them both a fever-reducing injection to bring the fever down first, and then we can examine the other symptoms more thoroughly."

After taking the temperature, the doctor couldn't determine the specific situation yet. The most urgent task right now is to bring the fever down, as the consequences of a continued high fever are unimaginable.

Wang Lichun frowned deeply. "Okay, I understand. Thank you, doctor."

The doctor immediately gave the twins an injection to reduce their fever and asked them to stay in the hospital for observation until their fever subsided.

Sweetie's temperature also rose to 39 degrees Celsius. Fever reducers didn't work, so she had to get a fever-reducing injection.

When Tian Tian saw the syringe, she was so frightened that she burst into tears and struggled to leave.

"Sweetie, you'll feel better after the shot. How about Mommy takes you to buy some milk candy after your fever goes down?"

When Liu Yuwen saw her daughter crying uncontrollably, she felt heartbroken and tears streamed down her face. She held her in her arms, patting her back and gently coaxing her.

Sweetie isn't the kind of child who makes a fuss, and she doesn't cry much usually, but today, under the double blow of feeling unwell all over and being afraid of getting a shot, she kept crying at the top of her lungs.

"Don't cry, Sweetie, it's okay, you'll be fine in a minute. You need a shot to heal faster."

"Sweetie, you're the bravest. Look, both your brothers got shots. How about we let the doctor give you one too?"

The doctor and Wang Lichun walked up to Tiantian and gently coaxed her.

Even the twin brothers, who had just received acupuncture, came over to comfort their sister despite their own pain when she kept crying.

No matter what they said, Tian Tian kept crying and wailing. Helpless, Liu Yuwen had to harden his heart and, together with Wang Lichun, forcibly held her down.

"Doctor, quickly give her the injection."

The doctor quickly stepped forward with a syringe and gave Tian Tian a shot in the buttocks.

"Don't cry, Sweetie, it's okay, it's okay."

After the acupuncture was finished, Liu Yuwen quickly hugged her and rubbed his face against her flushed and hot cheeks.

"Sister-in-law Yuwen, Sister-in-law Lichun? What's wrong with you two? What happened to Tiantian?"

Song Jinyue heard the crying from afar and immediately followed the sound to the clinic, only to find that all the faces she saw were familiar.

"Sweetie had a persistent high fever that wouldn't go down, and the medicine wasn't working. She refused to get a fever-reducing injection earlier, but she's fine now. Jin Yue, don't worry, go on with your work."

Liu Yuwen explained, and fearing it would affect Song Jinyue's work, immediately urged her to go about her own business.

"Have a fever?"

Upon hearing this, Song Jinyue walked over to Tiantian and touched her forehead. Feeling the burning heat, his handsome eyebrows immediately furrowed. "Tiantian, be good, don't cry. It's all over now, and it won't hurt anymore."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe away Tian Tian's tears.

Perhaps because Liu Yuwen and Wang Lichun had forcibly held Tiantian down so that the doctor could give her an injection, she had developed some inner trauma. When she saw Song Jinyue, Tiantian immediately cried and reached out her arms to her, wanting her to hug her.

Seeing this, Song Jinyue took her and comforted her by letting her rest on his shoulder for a while.

Ten minutes later, Tian Tian's emotions finally calmed down.

Liu Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, Tian Tian's face had turned purple from crying, which had frightened her quite a bit.

"Jin Yue, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Liu Yuwen wiped her eyes and looked at Song Jinyue with gratitude.

“Sister-in-law, what are you saying? You call me aunt every day, it’s only right that I take care of her.”

As she spoke, she patted Sweetie's back, "Sweetie, tell Auntie, is there anywhere else that hurts?"

Sweetie, who had just finished crying, leaned on Song Jinyue's shoulder, her eyelashes still wet.

When Song Jinyue asked her a question, she obediently straightened up and whispered, "Auntie, I have a headache, a sore throat, and my arms and legs hurt."

Upon hearing her say that her whole body ached, Song Jinyue's expression turned serious. "This is probably not an ordinary cold."

Wang Lichun and Liu Yuwen agreed with her statement.

For a common cold, fever reducers shouldn't be ineffective, and it's too much of a coincidence that their children all started having fevers around noon.

"Jin Yue, what should I do? She was fine this morning, but she suddenly developed a fever shortly after getting home at noon. Will she be fine once the fever goes down?"

Wang Lichun looked at Song Jinyue with a worried expression.

"Not necessarily. I need to test the virus first to see what's going on. Until then, let them stay in the hospital. Just in case, you should also wear masks for protection."

Song Jinyue gave a few instructions.

Liu Yuwen and Wang Lichun immediately nodded, "Okay, okay, we'll listen to you."

"I'll go get them some masks."

The doctor who had just given injections to the three children took two masks from the drawer and handed them to Liu Yuwen and Wang Lichun.

Song Jinyue then used cotton swabs to collect nasopharyngeal swabs from the twin brothers and Tiantian, and took them for virus isolation.

Following Liu Yuwen and Wang Lichun, many more military dependents arrived at the hospital, including adults, children, and the elderly, all exhibiting the same symptoms.

The patient had a persistent high fever, felt weak and fatigued all over, and was also in pain.

The hospital was extremely busy.

As more and more patients came to the hospital, Song Jinyue's guess was confirmed.

They did not have a common cold, but rather a contagious viral influenza. However, the specific virus will only be known after the virus isolation results are available.

For safety reasons, all patients who came to the hospital were isolated in wards, and the hospital distributed masks to all family members who were not sick so that they could take precautions in advance.

In addition, the hospital began to carry out segmented disinfection, with a thorough disinfection every two hours.

The sudden outbreak of infectious influenza has made all the doctors in the hospital take it seriously.

After a week of experimental testing, it was finally determined that this flu was caused by a completely new strain resulting from the recombination of avian influenza virus and human influenza virus.

Upon learning of this news, the military immediately began investigating the source of the virus strain.

They initially thought it was just a small number of soldiers who had contracted the flu, but then they received news that the flu had also broken out in nearby villages!
