Chapter 1148 Mason Had a Fever
After that, Corey wouldn’t talk about the virus no matter how Janet forced him. He didn’t say a word about the virus and its antidote. Since she couldn’t get answers from him, she could only find another way.
Hence, she started doing research on the virus. She looked into the body parts that Lee had brought back thoroughly. From the body parts, she could still find the virus that was still alive. The living viruses were all infused in the blood which explained why their blood was black. In fact, the virus was the most highly mutative strain she had ever seen. Not to mention, the virus posed a higher risk to Mason’s condition.
She sighed, but she felt grateful. She was glad that she had captured Corey. Otherwise, the virus might be injected into Mason. The consequences of that would’ve been unimaginable.
Besides that, it was heard that Melissa had used a month for the research of the virus. Meanwhile, Janet simply used half a day to look through it thoroughly. However, it would take a longer time to create an antidote for it. She had planned to do research on the antidote within five days. She hoped that she could do sufficient and thorough research on it. After all, if the virus was spread, she could always use the antidote as a backup.
After settling things, Janet wanted to explain everything to Mason. However, he started having a fever after he came back from Yobril. As someone who didn’t get sick once in a few years, he was getting sick a lot after meeting her.
Looking at him sleep, she couldn’t help but feel her heartache for him.
“Janet.” Suddenly, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, and Old Madam Lowry entered the room.
Janet casually rubbed her eyes before she looked up. “Grandma, why aren’t you asleep yet? It’s pretty late now.”
Old Madam Lowry held her hand firmly before saying, “Janet, you’ve been taking care of him for the whole day now. You should get some rest.”
Shaking her head, Janet refused. “His fever was caused by the infection of his back wound, and that was because he didn’t get enough rest. That’s on me, so I must take care of him.”
Frowning, Old Madam Lowry sighed. “Since young, he rarely made others worry for him. He rarely gets fevers, much less severe ones like this that he’d be out all day. This is really weird.”
Hearing that, Janet had her head hung low as she remained silent.
“Janet.” Noticing that Janet was upset, Old Madam Lowry panicked. She then held Janet’s hand before reassuring her. “This isn’t your fault. Don’t overthink it. It’s probably just his worries that are making him sick. When he wakes up, you guys can talk it out. The illness will then go away.”
“Okay.”
“So, you should eat something now. That way, you will have the energy to talk with Mason when he wakes up. The maids and I will be here to take care of him in the meantime. Nothing will happen.”
Hearing that, Janet glanced at the man who was lying in bed. After a while, she finally nodded. “Grandma, I’ll go downstairs to eat then. When he wakes up, you must tell me immediately.”
“Don’t worry, I will surely inform you immediately.”
…
After taking a bite or two, Janet returned to check on Mason. He remained in the same position that he was in from when she left. He didn’t even turn around at all. It seemed that the fever was quite severe.
At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang. There was an incoming call displayed on the phone screen––it was Lara.
Janet asked, “Lara, what is it?”
“Corey Hills has been asking to see you. He’s been going at it for a whole day. I thought that he stopped, but he was still persisting when I checked in on him just now.”
Hearing that, Janet replied coldly, “Ask him to talk to you instead. I’m occupied here.”
Lara explained helplessly, “I did, but he insisted on telling you in person.”
Taking a glance at Mason, Janet hesitated before saying without an expression, “I’ll head over now.”
Before she left, she told the maid outside to let her know at once when he woke up. Nodding, the maid saw Janet, who was still worried, off.
After the bedroom became quiet, the man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
