Chapter 527
The final stage would happen a short time after the third year. The patient would continuously cough out
blood, have a lowered immune system, and have continuous fits of fever. They would suddenly die
because the organs could no longer handle it.
Maisie thought of something and stood up, “By the way, if… if the sleeper virus didn’t have an incubation
period and the patient started getting fever and coughing out blood soon after the infection, what kind of
virus is it?”
Strix turned around to look at her, “That’s a mutated sleeper virus that makes people sick at an
accelerated rate. The patient would only have three to four years left to live.”
Three, four years…
Maisie turned pale. How could that be? Nolan was already in his third year!
“What’s wrong, Zee?” Strix looked at her curiously. 3.
Maisie snapped back into reality and said, “Dad, is there a cure if infected?”
Strix furrowed his brows as though he was thinking.” The current medical research is not advanced
enough to find the pathogen. It would be possible after a few years. There’s nothing we can do if one is
infected. I’ve run experiments during your mother’s final stage, but i .
.
t didn’t work. A mutated version would be even harder to deal with.”
“The antibodies you kept won’t work either?”
Maisie pretty much broke down when she found out that Nolan had less than one year left in him. She
should have noticed sooner, but
Erwin had only told her that he was gravely sick but not from what.
Nolan hadn’t told her how long he had left either. He knew all along. Since he had forced her to get a
divorce and leave him to hide his infection, he would already have known he would not be able to live for
much longer.
He had spent three years in sickness, and even when she learned about it, he never showed her how
much pain he was in..
“Zee, are you asking for Mr. Goldmann?”
Strix could tell. Maisie paused, then nodded.
“Erwin told me about you and him. It’s tough that he was infected with the mutated virus.”
“Is there no solution?”
“It takes time,” he answered.
Maisie asked anxiously, “How long?”
He said in a deep voice, “Don’t put too much hope in it. There’s only a very low chance, but I’ll try my
best.”
Maisie held her hand tight. A very low chance was better than no chances.
At the East Island Villa…
Nolan heard that Maisie was discharged from the hospital from Quincy, slowly put down the documents
he was holding, and said, “She’ s with Wayion?”
“Yes, Young Master Wayion and Ms. Vanderbilt are at the Easton Estate,” Quincy answered.
“Good.”
She would probably be happy with Wayion by her side. He thought of something and asked in a low
voice, “Did you find out anything about Rowena’s whereabouts?”
Quincy shook his head. “No, Rowena worked with Daniel Kent three years ago, but I have no idea why
she disappeared.”
Nolan looked cold.
Rowena had caused the accident three years ago, but Daniel was the mastermind behind it.
He had probably tried to make the de Armas go against the Goldmanns because of the incident, but he
had miscalculated because Hernandez already knew their motive.
Rowena had been hiding for three years and must have changed her looks or identity. Otherwise, it
would be impossible to hide her traces.
