Leading them to a special room, Aldric continued, “Thankfully, an antidote for the S404 Virus has been developed.


    The virus is no longer considered highly lethal.


    So, try not to worry too much.


    Fortunately, Colby doesn’t have a high concentration of the virus in his body.


    With the right treatment, his life isn’t in danger.


    ”


    Lucinda’s face rxed a bit.


    After the blood draw, Colby and Destinee were both lying on a hospital bed.


    Colby drained from the blood draw,y weakly and soon fell asleep.


    Feeling her brother’s difort, little Destinee remained quietly by his side.


    Lucinda approached and sat next to the bed.


    Upon seeing her, Destinee smiled brightly, attempting to call out to her mother.


    Lucinda ced a finger to her lips, softly shushing her to avoid waking her sleeping brother.


    Aldric and Nathan observed from the side.


    Seeing Lucinda with the babies, they preferred not to speak loudly to prevent waking Colby.


    They silently exited the room to continue their conversation in Aldric’s office.

    Nathan asked, “When can Colby receive the $404 Virus antidote?”


    Aldric carefully looked over the test results again and shook his head.


    “Colby is too young.


    The antidote is too strong for his delicate body.


    Given his current health, he would need to wait until he’s 18.


    ”


    Nathan scowled.


    “The S404 Virus is extremely aggressive.


    If we don’t treat it, Colby might not survive to 18 because ofplications.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    The virus causes terrible pain.


    ”


    Nobody knew the agony of this virus better than Nathan.


    The pain was excruciating, akin to living through hell every day.


    Aldric sighed, feeling powerless.


    “If we give him the antidote now, his body won’t be able to withstand it.


    It’s safer to wait until he’s older, even though it’s hard.


    ”


    Nathan asked, “What about a suppressant? If we can’t cure it right now, can we at least lessen his pain?”


    Aldric shook his head again.


    “Right now, neither the antidote nor a suppressant would be safe for him.


    ”


    Nathan’s gaze became intense as he pondered deeply.


    Aldric added, “At this point, we can only use conservative treatment, like IV fluids and mild medications to improve his immune system and resilience.


    We should keep Colby here for the next few days to monitor him.


    We need to make sure the new medications are working well and are safe for him.


    Also, pay attention to his nutrition.


    Feed him soft, nutritious meals to help build his strength.


    ”


    Throughout the morning, Lucinda and Nathan did not leave theb.


    The town of Stastle remained under a bleak rainfall, as if it was quietly narrating a sorrowful tale.


    Colby was connected to an IV in theb.


    Lucinda, Nathan, and their one-year-old daughter stayed by his side throughout.
