Jade grabbed Melanie and anxiously asked, "Tell me again in detail. What are the symptoms?"

"My stepmother said it's dizziness, vertigo, swelling of the limbs, and his wounds take a long time to heal. I don't know how it could be like this," Melanie said, looking worried.

Jade broke out in a cold sweat. The symptoms Melanie described sounded similar to the Notting virus from her previous life.

The Notting virus was caused by blood infection after mosquito bites, and the initial symptoms were very similar to what Melanie described. The virus carried by these mosquitoes was as deadly as a snake's venom, causing blood to deteriorate and eventually necrose. By the time doctors realized it, it was already too late.

In her previous life, when the Notting virus struck, Jade thought it was in September. What she didn't know was that some areas had already started to become infected. It was just that doctors had no idea about this virus at that time and treated it as a common illness, so th

    Melanie and Jade checked into a hotel but didn't rest. They went straight to the hospital.Before their arrival, they wore masks at Jade's strong insistence.The hospital was bustling with people, and they could occasionally hear someone coughing.Jade stood in the hospital lobby and looked around as if facing a formidable enemy, making Melanie nervous. "Hey, Jade, why are you so nervous? It's like there's some scary virus going around.""Let's go upstairs first." Jade didn't have time to explain to Melanie, so they went straight upstairs and found John's hospital room.John didn't expect Melanie to suddenly return, and his eyes welled up after not seeing his daughter for so long. "Melanie, w-why are you suddenly back?"John lay on the hospital bed, looking tired, but it was as if his illness had suddenly improved when he saw Melanie. He struggled to sit up and held onto Melanie's hand tightly.Melanie instantly burst into tears. In her family, only her father treated her sincer

    John nodded with a smile, but Jade's heart was heavy. Even without detailed examination reports, she was 90% sure that John had indeed been infected with the Notting disease."Dad, I'm back." Melanie brought water and a lot of food. She put everything down and said, "Jade, thank you."Jade came to her senses and replied, "I'll be right back."Without waiting for Melanie to react, she left the ward.Jade found John's attending physician, Tyler Emerson, and tactfully said, "Hello, I'm Jade Severin, a student of Professor Colin Fisk. I'd like to discuss John Newell's condition with you."Colin had a significant influence in the medical field, and his students were scattered across the country. Jade claimed to be his student to borrow his prestige, hoping to dispel any hostility from these doctors. Otherwise, she'd be seen as crazy for discussing a patient's condition without any credentials."You're Professor Fisk's student?" Tyler let down his guard upon hearing Colin's name. Being

    Naturally, Jade noticed the disdain that flashed across Tyler's eyes. Yet, when she thought about it, Tyler had been practicing medicine for over ten years, while she was just a naive university student. How could the two of them be compared?Even so, she wouldn't give up, especially since it concerned the lives of tens of thousands of people.Tyler chuckled and said, "Young lady, have you watched too many apocalypse movies? Mutations like that don't happen. You're overthinking it. Besides, if it weren't a mutated virus, wouldn't our hospital be the main culprit spreading rumors?" Seeing Jade's anxious expression, he continued. "I understand your heart as a medical practitioner, but even if you're eager to learn, you shouldn't be too hasty. I've been a student myself and can understand your desire to make a name for yourself. But medicine is different from other fields, it requires more caution, don't you think so?"Tyler was mocking Jade for wanting to make a name for herself, in

    "Hahaha! Kids these days don't know their place. You're saying there's an epidemic spreading, then what are we? Decorations?""Alright, just get out of here quickly and don't disturb our meeting. Security..."Initially, everyone was shocked by Jade's words. But once they processed it, they began to disdainfully laugh.The doctors present were all elite physicians in the hospital, some of whom had been transferred from Centus. They hadn't noticed any epidemic, and now Jade alone was asserting there was an outbreak. Wasn't this a joke?The hospital director, Vincent Gawley, slammed the table, silencing everyone and also expressing his anger. "What are the hospital security guards doing? Don't you know we have an important video conference today? This is outrageous."The security guards came in to drive Jade out, but then a deep voice came from the screen. "Hold on."The voice was so familiar that Jade turned around in surprise to see Caelan's face on the big screen. It turned out t

    The people in the conference room started whispering to each other. They were saying nothing but how the Fitzgerald Group ruled everything, and how they were the sole power."Mr. Emerson, you really need to consider this carefully. This is no child's play."The hospital's key elites still couldn't believe what Jade had said. In their eyes, considering a mosquito bite as a mutant virus was purely absurd.Vincent pushed his glasses up his nose, hesitating whether to believe Jade or not.Suddenly, Tyler burst inside."Mr. Emerson, I have an urgent matter to report to you," Tyler whispered in Vincent's ear. "There are several cases in our hospital today where patients were also bitten by mosquitoes. Their symptoms are very similar to what Ms. Severin described."Upon hearing that, Vincent looked at Jade in shock. Before he could fully digest this information, several doctors dashed inside."Mr. Emerson, the number of patients has suddenly doubled today. The hospital is now full, wit

    'So this was Mr. Fitzgerald's idea?' Jade felt a slight pang of disappointment in her heart. She had assumed Caelan had come specifically to pick her up, but it turned out she was just overthinking it.The helicopter landed on the hospital lawn, with the letter "F" on the fuselage representing the Fitzgeralds.Everyone in the hospital stared with envy as Jade boarded the aircraft and flew off to Centus.Jade had barely closed her eyes during her time at the hospital, so she fell asleep once she was inside the helicopter. By the time she woke up again, she was already in Centus."Ms. Severin, we've arrived," Samuel told Jade.Jade nodded, got off the helicopter, and saw a car waiting for her."Is this also Grandpa's idea?" Jade asked Samuel.Samuel was momentarily taken aback but quickly understood Jade's question, replying, "Picking you up and taking you home is Mr. Caelan's idea. He's even asked me to prepare the car."Jade finally felt a hint of joy.Centus was quite far fro

    "Things were going well previously. Madam would prepare some snacks for Mr. Caelan, and his attitude toward her had also softened quite a bit. Today, he even wanted to invite her to dinner. It's just that she was too busy and had to refuse," Samuel reported to Kennedy in detail.Kennedy looked at him in surprise. "What? My grandson was rejected?""Yes, Madam was too busy," Samuel said softly to excuse Jade.Samuel was taken aback when Kennedy burst into laughter, expecting anger instead."Rejected? Haha, being rejected is good. The day this brat eats the humble pie has come."Samuel was speechless.…Jade had been in the laboratory for several days. With her previous experience and her memories from her past life, she finally managed to develop an effective cure for the Notting virus after a few days."This is simply miraculous!" Colin exclaimed excitedly as he watched the Notting-infected mouse gradually improve. His eyes were filled with joy and even turned red.Everyone in

    His name was Justin Monaghan, and among Colin's students, he was the one most highly valued. In Colin's words, he and Jade were both prodigies in the medical field.The one attacking him was Maverick, a student who usually didn't talk much but was reliable.They were both favored by Colin, and their relationship was usually good.Maverick suddenly attacking Justin made Jade suspicious. She noticed how confidently Maverick was speaking as if he intentionally wanted to shift everyone's focus onto Justin."What you're saying doesn't make sense. I put the medicine in there, but you and Professor Fisk were there too. Besides, it's not just me who knows the password. Professor Fisk, you, and Ms. Severin all know it. Are we all suspects?" Justin defended himself indignantly.Seeing the two of them arguing, Colin intervened, "Both of you, shut up. Look at yourselves, getting all red-faced and worked up. Is this how I've taught you to behave?"Both students fell silent, but Colin's anger

    Chenelle's words made Jade clench her fists in anger. For someone so heartless, she really wanted to wake her up with a good beating.Taking a step forward, Jade grabbed Chenelle by the collar.Chenelle screamed, thinking Jade was about to hit her, and retreated in fear. "What are you doing? Do you want to hit me again?!"'So, she can also feel fear.'Jade sneered coldly, rolling up her sleeves to show the scars on her arm. "While you complain about the world's injustices, open your eyes wide and see that not everyone is as fortunate as you."I was also adopted, but compared to you, our lives are worlds apart. While you resent not getting enough attention, others are struggling to find their next meal. When you let jealousy drive you to harm others, some people are just praying to survive."Chenelle, you truly don't appreciate the blessings you have."Jade's fair arm was covered in scars of various sizes—burns, cuts, and a long stitched wound that looked like a centipede. Althou

    Chenelle forcefully shook off Jade's hand, her eyes filled with venom as she spat, "You bitch! Stop pretending to be so righteous. I despise people like you the most. Do you think the Fitzgeralds adopted me out of kindness? No, it's because they felt guilty."Her face twisted with intense hatred, her gaze sweeping across everyone in the hall with a sharp, accusatory edge.When her eyes landed on Kennedy, her resentment peaked. "Ever since I stepped into the Fitzgerald household, you've treated me with hostility, never once showing me a kind face."My efforts to make you happy were like a dog desperately seeking attention. When you were in a good mood, you were somewhat kind to me, but when you weren't, you completely ignored me. "Do you think bringing me into the Fitzgeralds would make me grateful? No, it won't. I hate you. I hate every single one of you! You took away my only family and snuffed out the last bit of warmth I had."If it weren't for my father trying to protect Cael

    After changing her clothes, Jade applied light makeup while standing in front of the mirror. As she gazed at her rosy reflection, fragments of the previous night's events flickered in her mind. Her cheeks flushed, and she covered her face with her hands, fanning herself nervously. 'What to do, what to do? How should I face Caelan later?'After much hesitation, Jade decided to face him. After all, they had already crossed all boundaries. Avoiding him now would be unnecessarily dramatic. Moreover, they would be living together in the future. It wasn't practical to keep avoiding him.With this thought, Jade felt significantly more at ease. As she approached the door, she heard Caelan's voice from the living room. "Hold her there. I'm coming right over." Puzzled, Jade opened the door and looked at Caelan.He ended his call and said, "We've found the person who drugged you. I'm heading over now.""Who is it?" Jade asked angrily.Caelan gave her a deep, serious look before replying,

    'And then…' Thinking about it further, Jade couldn’t bear to continue. 'Could it be that I spent the night with Orion?!'"Morning..." The familiar deep voice sent a shiver through Jade, followed by a surge of joy enveloping her entire being. That voice, she would recognize it even in death.It was Caelan. This was Caelan's voice!Jade remained motionless, her body stiff. The swing from immense sorrow to immense joy was too overwhelming—she needed a moment to process it all."Why aren't you saying anything?" Caelan noticed Jade's odd behavior and propped himself up to look at her face, only to find her silently shedding tears.His heart clenched, and his first instinct was to apologize. "I'm sorry, last night I had no choice. Your situation was too dangerous—"Before he could finish, Jade threw herself into his arms.Caelan was at a loss, his body rigid, afraid to move a muscle.Tears dripped onto his chest, scorching his skin and softening his heart."Are you still in pain?" h

    Jade felt as if her head was about to explode, her body burning, with her organs seemingly on the verge of combustion."Jade, Jade, wake up." Caelan gently patted Jade's cheek. The moment he touched her skin, he was startled by how scalding hot she felt.Jade's eyes fluttered open in a daze, her vision blurred, unable to discern the face looming close to hers. She grasped the cool hand on her face, pressing it tightly against her skin."So cool… So cool…" Jade murmured unconsciously, her body instinctively leaning closer. She wrapped her arms around the man's neck, rubbing against him desperately. "Help me… I feel so uncomfortable, so hot."Seeing her in such a state, Caelan felt an indescribable pain in his heart. His fists clenched tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands as he commanded Samuel, "Find out who did this."Samuel nodded. "The doctor is on his way, but we need to lower Miss Severin's temperature immediately."Caelan's eyes darkened momentarily. He bent down,

    Orion's face had turned a shade of red that was far from normal, yet he struggled to stay conscious, shaking his head with a bitter smile."I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be outsmarted."Jade's heart tightened in response. She had reserved a VIP suite in the hotel, with only two rooms on the entire floor. To ensure privacy, she had explicitly instructed that no one was to come upstairs. Now, Orion had been drugged, and she…A sudden spell of dizziness caused Jade's legs to give way. She clung to the door frame to avoid collapsing. To her horror, she realized she had been drugged too. 'Damn it! How could I have let my guard down?!'"I'll call for help. Don't move."Overwhelmed by the heat coursing through her body, Jade was on the brink of losing her sanity. In a bid to stay conscious, she dug her nails into her palm. The pain brought a moment of clarity, but it was fleeting. The heat surged back, stronger and more relentless than before. Fear crept up from Jade's feet

    Jade arrived at the hotel and easily found the floor, unlocking Room 2020. As soon as she stepped inside, she was taken aback—red roses filled the entire room, and candles burned softly in the corners, creating a romantic and cozy atmosphere.This was the result of Melanie and Tiffany’s hard work all afternoon.As Jade walked on the soft carpet, Jade's heart danced with excitement. Today, she would give herself to Caelan—she was finally going to be his woman. She had been waiting for this day for so long.Her phone buzzed with a text message. Jade opened it and saw it was from Tiffany.Tiffany: [There's a gift for you on the bed. You're welcome.]'A gift? What kind of prank is this girl up to now?'Following Tiffany’s instructions, Jade found the gift on the bed. She opened it and gasped. A few black straps connected to bits of sheer fabric!'Lingerie?' Jade’s face turned crimson, and she quickly shoved the outfit back into the box. If she wore this to see Caelan, she’d rather

    Caelan: [Alright, go ahead and get busy.]Jade felt a slight chill in her heart as she read the message from Caelan. Shouldn't he have asked where she was going? Why did he just reply with that?There was something off about Caelan's mood, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.Seeing Jade lost in thought, Melanie waved her hand in front of her friend's eyes. "Hey, snap out of it. Did Caelan say when he's coming?"Jade, feeling a bit down, replied, "I haven't figured out how to tell him yet.""What's there to figure out? My goodness." Melanie grabbed Jade's phone and quickly typed a message to Caelan.Jade: [I'll be waiting for you at 5:00 p.m. in Room 2020 of Serendipitus. We need to talk.]With a flourish, she sent the message and tossed the phone back to Jade.Jade's eyes widened in shock. "Melanie, can we really do this?""Why not? Trust me, right now Caelan is probably as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof, wondering if you're going to break up with him."Tiffany c

    The car sped toward Jade's villa, coming to a stop.Caelan immediately took out his phone and called Jade. Just like before, there was no answer. While staring at the tightly shut door, Caelan's heart clenched. 'Could it be true, as Chenelle said, that Jade has fallen for Orion?'..."Hey, can't you two stop this?" Jade sighed in exasperation.She had been perfectly content at home when Tiffany and Melanie had barged in and dragged her out.To make matters worse, they had taken her phone. Their excuse was to make Caelan worry and see if he would dare to disappear again. Most importantly, they wanted to surprise him."Just relax and stay here. Tiffany and I will handle everything else," Melanie said, pressing Jade into a chair and thrusting a makeup brush into her hand. "You just focus on looking beautiful and don't worry about a thing, okay?"Jade couldn't help but laugh. "Can you two stop being so overbearing? I'm the main character here. Can't you show me some respect?"The
