<b>Chapter </b><b>243 </b>
Because of the virus, Betty became weak. She had hypotension.
<b>The </b>virus resembled Hantavirus. It was harmful to the kidneys and lungs and might result in death.
<b>The </b>elderly were vulnerable before the attack of this virus.
Thinking, Aria listed the herbs needed for the treatment. Then, she sent the list to a druggist and paid the bills.
The druggist: (Ms. Saxon, you paid more than you should.]
Aria: [Please send me all the herbs you have as soon as possible. Then, help me buy more.]
The druggist: [Ms. Saxon, I’ll get right on it.]
Aria then bought a lot of benzalkonium bromide and special UV lights.
After Betty fell asleep, Aria gently tucked her in and did the cleaning.
Aria then washed up. She breathed a sigh of relief after it was confirmed that the medicine and the medical equipment would be sent to Jamn that day.
Betty got up early. At six o’clock in the morning, Aria was preparing breakfast when <b>a </b>knock sounded on the door.
Owen arrived with some food containers. “I brought you some breakfast.”
He cooked for Aria at home and prepared breakfast for her now. He deliberately delivered the breakfast before Betty woke up.
Touched, Aria moved aside and let Owen into the house.
Owen opened the food containers, so the porridge came into view.
Betty needed a light diet, so the breakfast Owen had prepared was perfect.
Owen then produced a bowl of soup. “Drink the soup after breakfast, It’ll help warm you up.”
Aria gripped her spoon. She then raised her head and joked, “Are you going to cook for me for the rest of your life?”
Owen’s heart skipped a beat. “If you want me to.”
Time seemed to freeze. The atmosphere in the room became subtle.
Aria was stunned. When she tried to figure out the meaning of Owen’s answer, Betty coughed.

Instantly, Aria rose to her feet and ignored those subtle feelings.
Owen reminded, “We know little about the virus. You had better put on your mask after breakfast. I am gonna run a couple of errands, and I wille to collect the containerster.”
The vigers were busy clearing the road, and Owen and Aaron intended to go help them.
“Give me your car key. I’ll drive your car here,” Owen said.
Aria silently handed Owen her car key and then left to look after Betty.
After breakfast, Aria fed Betty some medicine, washed the food containers, and took out a pen and notebook. “Betty, when did you fall <b>sick</b><b>? </b><b>What are </b>your symptoms?<b>” </b>

<b>Recalling</b><b>, </b><b>Betly </b><b>said</b><b>, </b><b>“</b><b>The </b><b>day </b>before <b>yesterday</b>, <b>I </b>lost <b>my </b>appetite, felt nauseous, and had a <b>headithe </b>
<b>“</b><b>Where </b>have you been? Who did you see<b>? </b>Did you have contact with animals<b>?</b><b>” </b>
<b>Betty </b>thought for a moment before she said, “I seldom left this house. Four days ago, I attended a wedding <b>party </b>held in the vige, and then may ran
If Betty was infected with the virus at the wedding party, both Aaron and Betty would be at risk.
“What did you eat at the party? Did you get bitten by the bug…”
Aria asked a lot of questions and took notes. “Betty, take a good rest. I will have a walk in the vige. Call me if your need anything<b>” </b>
Her phone had died yesterday. She didn’t charge her phone till she arrived at Betty’s house.
Betty read Aria’s mind. “It is not your job to please them…”
Nearly all the vigers dreaded Aria, so Betty was afraid that they wouldn’t be cooperative.
<b>“</b>I know, Betty.”
Aria quickly checked the food in the kitchen and the drinking water before she left the house with a mask on.
After the news about Jamn was released, Caleb let his assistant prepare for a donation.
He called Aria. The news that she had to Jamn distressed him. Without hesitation, he left his office.
Through the talk over the phone, Caleb saw through Aria. “Caleb, many herbs and machines are needed here. I need your help.”
Caleb said, “No problem.”
After the call with <i>Aria</i>, Caleb rang Jeffrey and said, “Get gowns, hair covers, and analyzers ready, and I will deliver them personally. Call the hospital to see whether there are any volunteers going with me.”
Jeffrey hesitated for a moment and asked, “Boss, should I inform the Chairman?”
“No.”
This was Jamn.
After the road was cleared, Owen took off his gloves, moved aside, and let the cars drive past.
In <b>a </b>van, Hannah had her face covered by the mask. Someone said, “Ms. Gibson, it is another great chance for you since you could make protease inhibitors.”
Hannah smiled. “You tter me. I am still a trainee manager.”
The man said tteringly, “You are so modest, Ms. Gibson. For fairness, you chose to be a trainee. Given your ability, you can be a manager. Besides, the director let <i>you </i>lead this team. It is an <i>honor </i>few doctors have. You should have confidence in yourself.”
At first, Hannah was not satisfied with her job as the manager in clinical pharmacology. She didn’t ept the job till the director promised <b>to </b>let her <b>treat </b>patients.
“The director trusts me, and I won’t disappoint him.” Hannah looked out of the window<i>, </i>spotted a figure, and shouted, <b>“</b><b>Stop </b><b>the </b><b>car</b><b>.</b>”
“Ms. Gibson, what’s wrong?”
Hannah exined, “I saw an old friend. You may leave first.”

<b>Her </b>colleagues also <b>spotted </b>Owen. Hearing Hannah, <b>they </b>had a look of surprise,
<b>They </b>remembered that Hannah had helped Aria as hei divorcewyer. In other words, Owen and Hannah were supposed to be adde
<b>Why </b>did Hannah <b>act </b>as if she was close with Owen?
<b>The </b><b>road </b>was rough, and the van was crowded. Therefore, when Hannah wanted to get out of the car, the others were d for more space <b>in </b>the rari
<b>“</b>Ms. Gibson, see youter.”
Hannah gave an authoritative nod. “Okay.” She got out of the car, walked to Owen, and said, “Owen, wiry are you here?”
At the sight of Hannah, Owen became expressionless. “I am a passerby here.”
“Come on, Owen. I know that you’re here for charity.”
“If so, why did you ask?” Aaron thought.
Owen pulled out a car key and looked at Aaron. “Let’s go.”
Hannah seemed oblivious to Owen’s indifference. She quickened her steps to catch up with Owen. She asked after Owen pulled open the car door, <b>“</b>Owen, could you please give me a free ride? I was sent here by Heffner Hospital to help the vigers.”
Owen gave Hannah a meaningful smile. “This is Aria’s car… Don’t you mind?”
