Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030 Normal White Blood Cell

"Dr. Xue, we’ve already checked, and Dr. Bai’s physiological functions are recovering well. It’s surprising that after just a nap, her physical condition has improved so much. We’ll have blood test results in about five minutes. According to our current examinations, apart from slight physical weakness, there doesn’t seem to be anything seriously wrong." The doctor reporting to Dr. Xue was also amazed, not expecting someone they had pronounced dead to recover so well upon waking.

If it were typical recovery over ten days to half a month, no one would be surprised at such physical condition. After all, she was declared dead yesterday, and this morning she still showed no signs of breathing. Perhaps there was some breath, but it was too faint for our instruments to detect.

But now, only a few hours have passed, and for someone to wake up and recover so well is considered a miracle in medical history.

Of course, such cases are not unheard of.

Throughout history, there have been many instances where people appeared dead for a day or two, yet revived with normal breathing and full functionality.

Medically speaking, this is called suspended animation.

However, it’s rare for someone to recover with such excellent physiological function from a state of suspended animation.

Dr. Xue nodded, "This shows how young Bai is. Young people recover well, indicating that even during her coma, although her overall functions seemed to decline, they remained fairly stable.

As long as there’s no real physical issue, that’s good."

Dr. Xue instructed An Zhiyuan to take good care of Bai Xiao. With the vaccine yet to be developed, their mission remains challenging. Despite the urgency that brought him to see Bai Xiao, he needs to return to his lab for experiments as long as she’s alright.

Today is worse, with cases in nearby villages rising to 100, and a mortality rate now up to two people per day.

They’ve identified the virus source and informed the villages that snakes are the carriers.

However, besides snakes, human-to-human transmission through the air makes infected patients with a slight incubation period easily capable of spreading it unknowingly.

With such a high mortality rate and strong transmission capability.

The outbreak has already been reported to the National Epidemic Prevention Bureau.

The animal-based transmission is highly concealed.

You know the local snakes could move to other areas anytime, sparking a nationwide or even global pandemic, which would be a disaster.

The very day they reported it, suspected cases have already mildly appeared across the country.

The most troubling part now is, despite determining the pathogen, they can’t develop a vaccine.

They’ve sought help from other countries, as no nation can avoid a large-scale outbreak.

Dr. Xue, working under the microscope, is troubled as another virus experiment failed. The virus split and mutated after medication was introduced.

The virus mockingly smiled at him under the microscope.

Dr. Xue wearily set aside his tools.

In just a few days, Dr. Xue’s hair turned from graying to entirely silver, not a single black hair left.

It’s not just Dr. Xue; every doctor and nurse here aged significantly during this period.

The mental and physical toll they’ve paid surpasses any job. Facing life-threatening conditions, yet still unreciprocated, the outbreak grows direr daily.

The laboratory door burst open, banging against the wall, and Dr. Xue impatiently set down the sample slices.

"Who is it? So recklessly!"

Turning around, he saw Dr. Zhang running in breathlessly, holding a data sheet, shoving it into his hand.

"Dr. Xue... Xue... Bai... Bai..."

Dr. Xue unfolded the crumpled report in his hand, which turned out to be a lab test.

"Catch your breath first before speaking. Otherwise, it’s hard for me to comprehend."

"Dr. Xue... Dr. Bai’s... white blood cells are abnormal!"

Finally managing to say what he wanted, Dr. Zhang nearly fainted from exhaustion.

Dr. Xue’s eyes quickly scanned the report.

Stunned, he studied the report incredulously.

"Come on, grab the blood sampling equipment, let’s find Bai Xiao."

Bai Xiao is a virus carrier, which is why she was quarantined. Now, however, her white blood cells differ significantly from other patients, who show a marked decrease after falling ill, whereas Bai Xiao’s levels normalized.

This is incredibly surprising. noveldrama

Bai Xiao was sipping porridge, relieved the bustling doctors and nurses finally left, letting her enjoy a peaceful meal after long hunger.

"Second Brother! This porridge is so delicious, absolutely delicious, fragrant and sticky, and this pickled bamboo shoots, sour and spicy, perfectly matches the plain porridge." Bai Xiao ate happily; her stomach had been protesting for days without food.

Now, warm porridge and side dishes comforted their protest.

An Zhiyuan casually took her bowl, "One bowl is enough, save the rest for tonight! Or else your stomach won’t handle it."

Bai Xiao watched in dismay as her bowl disappeared, along with the porridge and side dishes.

But she was still hungry.

Looking at An Zhiyuan pitiably, "An Zhiyuan, I’m still hungry. Can I have another small bowl? Just one spoon? Half a spoon!"

An Zhiyuan remained unmoved, determined not to let Bai Xiao overexert herself after the fright she gave him, fearing another heart-stopping near-death experience.

Health is wealth; Bai Xiao is his wife. To avoid future loneliness or desperate measures, he must care for his wife’s health.

This is An Second Brother’s newest directive.

"Rest well, you just woke up, don’t mess around. In the afternoon, you may have an apple and a cup of milk, a special treat."

Facing his wife’s playful antics, he remained unmoved.

Bai Xiao sighed.

Fine, if An Zhiyuan is truly heartless, there’s nothing she could do.

Covering her stomach, growling with hunger, she lay on the bed, unable to sleep from hunger.

Tossing and turning.

Turning again.

A large hand stretched out to her, offering a piece of chocolate.

Bai Xiao beamed, "I knew you wouldn’t let me starve! You’re so good, Second Brother An, the best man in the world!"

An Zhiyuan blushed.

"Don’t talk nonsense, aren’t you embarrassed?"
