After all, no one was prepared for the sudden onset of the flu.
What he meant was that Xiao Bao and Xiao Yichen were in a similar predicament.
As for the other children, even though they were not suffering from any symptoms yet, they could not rule out the possibility that the flu virus was still in its incubation stage.
Since it was an unknown flu, no one could determine the mortality rate, cure rate, and sequelae of the flu. All they could do was try their best to save the children and study them.
Many hospitals in the capital had news of nurses and doctors collapsing. A few nurses' immune systems had deteriorated due to inadequate protection and working overtime. Unfortunately, they were infected.
Apart from that, many doctors had been fighting on the frontlines for a long time and fell ill from overwork. Some even died on the operating table.
The constant news reports made the public anxious and immersed themselves in the fear of the flu.
On the streets, in the shopping malls, and in schools, everyone was wearing a mask.
Taking the temperature every morning had become a routine.
The thermometers in the pharmacies were sold out.
In the alleys of the city, everyone was on tenterhooks, afraid that they would fall victim to the flu virus.
Even if they could not accept it, they had no choice but to accept it.
Yun Shishi secretly cried in the bathroom for a long time. She wiped her tears and applied cold water to her face before walking out of the bathroom. She walked to Xiao Yichen's bedside and replaced Yoo Yoo.
Xiao Yichen gently held Yun Shishi's hand. He looked at the doctors and nurses who had surrounded the bed and asked nervously, "Mommy, am I going to be quarantined?"
"Yeah."
Yun Shishi squeezed his palm and choked back her sobs. "It's okay. It's just a small problem. Mommy will wait for you to get better, okay?"
"Yeah, I think it's just a small problem too."
Xiao Yichen blinked and said disapprovingly, "I'm in good health. How can I be defeated by such a small flu virus?"
"Yeah!"
Yun Shishi nodded her head vigorously as though she was using Xiao Yichen's words to convince herself.
Xiao Yichen couldn't bear to see her holding back her sadness.
He pursed his lips and looked at the ceiling to hold back his tears.
He was not afraid of getting sick, but he was afraid that Yun Shishi would be worried.
She was so fragile. If she worried about him all the time, she would not be able to eat or sleep well.
He must not show any signs of weakness, otherwise she would be even more worried.
Therefore, Xiao Yichen pretended to be relaxed and said, "Mommy, when I leave the quarantine zone, I want to eat your black pepper steak."
"That will have to wait until you come out."
"For the sake of mommy's black pepper steak, I have to work hard to get healthy!" Xiao Yichen said confidently, "Don't worry, Mommy. I won't make you wait for too long!"
The doctor and nurse looked at each other and felt a little sad.
The nurse walked over and said to Xiao Yichen, "Little boy, say goodbye to your daddy and mommy, okay?"
"I don't need to say goodbye."
Xiao Yichen's voice was a little choked up, but he still said stubbornly, "I'll be back soon."
He and Xiao Bao were moved to a gurney and slowly pushed out of the ward. A group of people surrounded them as they walked towards the quarantine zone.
Two hospital beds were pushed to the quarantine zone door, one after the other. Xiao Bao's bed was pushed over to be next to Xiao Yichen's.
