Chapter 1149 Blood Test
However, he didn’t seem like he had recovered. To be exact, he seemed to be rather uncomfortable. As he could no longer bear it, he rushed to the washroom and coughed out blood.
Looking at the blood on the floor that was almost black, he was stumped. The color of the blood was similar to that of the monsters.
Ever since he got back, he noticed that his body felt odd. Nonetheless, he didn’t dare to show it in front of Janet. Tonight, the pain was excruciating. If she were to stay around any longer, he would have spat out blood right in front of her.
…
Suddenly, a small rain suddenly poured outside. It was the first rain in Sandfort for the past 6 months.
In the Lowry Residence, Mason came down from the second floor.
Seeing that, the maid downstairs said joyfully, “Mr. Lowry, you’re finally awake.”
“Hurry up. Hurry and inform Miss Jackson to come back,” the leading maid said cheerfully.
Waving them off, Mason said, “There’s no need. Let her finish her work. You are dismissed for now.”
Just like that, he dismissed all the maids in the living room of the Lowry Residence. However, the leading maid didn’t leave immediately. She poured a cup of water and placed it in front of him. “Mr. Lowry, you don’t look so well. Are you still feeling under the weather?”
Taking a glance at her, he said coldly, “I’m fine. You can leave.”
“Okay.” After putting down the cup, she didn’t dare to say anything else.
At this moment, the light from the ceiling seemed extra bright. As he was lying on the couch with his eyes half-closed, he said disdainfully, “Is he here?”
“He’s here.”
Upon the cue, a doctor wearing a white coat walked to Mason’s side. “Mr. Lowry, I’ll withdraw your blood for the test.”
With a nod, Mason took the initiative to roll up his sleeve. The moment his arm was revealed, Sean’s pupils shrunk slightly; shock was evident in his expression. His fair arm had many red spots on it. Taking a closer look, Sean could see that the spots were getting to his wrist. W-What is this?
Snapping out of the trance, the doctor knitted his brows and quickly withdrew Mason’s blood.
At this moment, Mason showed no expression. “When will the blood test results be out?”
“I’ll have to send the blood samples to the research center. The results will be made ready for you in twenty minutes.”
After his blood was taken, Mason rolled his sleeve back down with a calm look. When the doctor left, Sean asked, “Mr. Lowry, what are the red spots on your arm?”
Without replying to him, Mason pulled out a cigarette box before putting a cigarette between his lips. After some time, he finally said, “I just noticed that too.”
After saying that, he inhaled the smoke before saying calmly, “Earlier, I threw up blood upstairs and the blood was black. It was the same as the monster’s blood. I suspect that I’ve been infected by the virus.”
Sean’s expression changed the moment he heard that. He felt as if his blood was frozen. In the beginning, he thought that Mason had called for the doctor for a simple test. He didn’t expect that it’d be this kind of test. No wonder he seemed unwell.
At this moment, Sean didn’t know what to say.
Smoking the cigarette, Mason looked out of the window. He quietly waited for the results of the blood test. Half an hour felt longer than half a year.
His phone finally rang after the rather extensive half an hour. At this moment, Sean’s heart was pacing. He felt like his heart could jump out of his chest at any given moment. Even after a minute, Sean’s hand that was holding the phone was still shaking. Struggling to take a deep breath, he blankly looked at the man sitting on the couch.
After he finished smoking the last cigarette, Mason looked up and asked with a calm expression. “What’s the result?”
Sean fell silent.
“Tell me, what’s the result? I can take it.”
“The result is out. It’s the virus, without a doubt.”
Hearing that, Mason simply shut his eyes without saying anything. Typically, the body would start to rot after 20 hours of virus infection, and the infected would die in 48 hours. Since he came back from Yobril, he had been infected for approximately 20 hours. However, there weren’t any rots on his body yet, just red spots.
