Chapter 173

Ch. 173 / 324 Jul 29, 2025

After contacting the local medical staff, Sara and others were assigned to the place where they lived. Because there was limited resources, all of them had one bed for two people. Sara and Elaine were together, and Rolando and Alex were together.

Alex dragged Sara's luggage out of the car. She intended to take Sara into the room first and then take her own. Elaine had already pulled Sara's suitcase. She glanced at Alex lightly and said, "I'll take it."

Alex raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything. She just let go of him.

Elaine put the luggage into the room. Sara was removing the quilt because they were all locals' rooms. No one knew how many people had slept in the room before. Before they left, Aunt Dovlin especially asked Sara to bring a small blanket and sheet.

The houses of the locals were all courtyard- like, and there were four rooms in total. Kenzie and Jaelyn also lived in this house.

When they passed by and saw them, Jaelyn immediately sneered, "I think some people are really on vacation. Don't count on her help!"

Kenzie sneered and said, "You still want to have a good reputation after suffering a lot. It's as if you're dreaming all day long!"

Sara ignored them and laid down the sheets he had brought with him. She did not think that this was not right. There was no conflict between bringing the sheets and treating the patient herself.

Kenzie and the others were probably bored, so they went to find Rolando.

They had to go to work after half an hour's repair. Alex and Elaine were not familiar with this, so Sara taught them how to take care of the patients. Kenzie asked "President, why don't you send the patients to the hospital?"

Rolando sighed. "All the ward in Mamond is now full, and even the corridor is full of beds..." He whispered, "In fact, it's meaningless to send people to the hospital. Once they are infected, the death rate will be 100%. Now we just want the infected people to live a better life and isolate the infected source."

Kenzie and Jaelyn were both studying in the university this year. The reason why they joined the association was to get a good reputation. They could be admitted to a good hospital after graduation in the future. They didn't care about the life and death of these people and just forgot them. They didn't care.

Sara was not in good health, so she couldn't move the patients. She used a thermometer to measure the body temperature from one house to another, separating the patients from the ones who weren't.

Alex followed her and asked, "Is it okay to use the thermometer?"

Sara nodded. "Well, that's fine. The infected will have a high fever. As long as the temperature exceeds 39 degrees, the patients must be separated from each other."

She pulled her mask and said, "Do you regret coming with me now? It's hard and tired here. How can you feel comfortable in Jena City?"

However, Alex laughed and said, "Do you think I have never suffered a lot? When I was a child, my mother and I lived in a much worse place than here. The people who dealt with me all day were either fans or gambling. There was no good thing. At that time, my mother was worried that I was taken bad by them and kept an eye on me all day long."

Sara was taken aback. "Aren't you the young master of the Selmy family?"

Sara didn't know that he mentioned Alex's most taboo thing. If someone else asked this question, Alex would immediately fall out with him. But in the face of Sara, he just smiled and said, "Yes, I am the young master of the Selmy family, but it will happen after 15. Before the age of 15, I have been wandering with my mother."

He paused and continued, "My father was not a good person. He abandoned my mother at the beginning, but he really wanted me to hide with me. Later, when I grew up, she asked me whether she was willing to follow her to suffer or my father to enjoy happiness I said that I was willing to live with her for more than a decade, so I said that I was willing to live with her. Those years she was very sad. She didn't have the skill to make money. She used to learn the violin. In order to avoid the Selmy family, we lived in the slums. Who would listen to the violin? So it was very poor and she died in bed." It was difficult to operate."

"When she was about to die, she called the old man and asked him to pick me up. Then I went back to Selmy family."

Alex told him about the misery of the past 15 years, as if she was talking about other people's things. She had no mood swings at all. She didn't want to mention her own despair when her mother died and a series of fighting against her when she refused to go back to the Selmy family.

He squinted his beautiful eyes and said lightly, "My mother is a stubborn person. She won't look back until she hit the south wall of the Yellow River. If she is a little softer, she won't die in the small rented house. She taught me to be smooth and flexible, to be able to bend and extend, but she has never suffered a bend in her life."

Sara did not expect Alex to have such a past. He paused for a while before saying, "That's because your mother loves you very much. It's because of her stubbornness that she has led an unpeaceful life. So she hopes that you won't be so stubborn and let yourself live a happy life."

"Yes," Alex said, "I'm the young master of the Selmy family."

Sara said softly, "Grandpa Selmy loves you very much."

"Okay." Alex took out a thermometer and said, "Okay, let's not talk about me. Let's hurry up and work."

Sara saw that he was really open- minded, so he didn't say anything more.

Sara had been busy until evening and found 30 patients. She was very upset because these people, who had tested their body temperature today, would soon become cold corpses.

The temperature on the thermometer was like a letter from Death, and she was the messenger who personally declared the death of these people.

The village's conditions were not very good. so the dinner was also very messy Sara ate a little and went back to the room. She carefully observed the patients today and found that their conditions were very similar to that of an ancient medical book. But Sara forgot which one it was. When he returned to the room, he took out a medical book from the suitcase and looked for it.

However, she didn't bring many books with her when she came. There were only two or three books, and she didn't know if they were in there.

After reading dozens of pages, her mobile phone rang. It was a video call from Hank.

Sara hurriedly got up from the bed and closed the door. Elaine glanced at her and said nothing.

Sara climbed back onto the bed and received Hank's video call.

Apparently, Hank was not in Reminisland. Instead, he was in a simple and cold office. Sara asked curiously, "Is this where you work?"

Hank said in a cold voice, "Yes."

"How is it going?"

Sara wrinkled his face. "it's not good. More than half of the villagers in this village are infected. They're going to set up a cremation tomorrow."

Hank asked in a low voice, "Are you afraid?"

Sara nodded. There was a look of confusion in his eyes. "I'm a little scared."
