Chapter 1149

After arriving at the hospital, Tarquin immediately sought out Benjamin to inquire about Verity's illegitimate son's condition.

However, Benjamin hadn't been able to see him in person and had to relay the details over the phone.

"His condition is deteriorating rapidly, more severe with each passing day. He's infected with an unknown virus we've never encountered before," Benjamin explained with a tone of urgency.

"And this virus is mutating quickly; we haven't managed to develop a cure yet."

"What's certain, though, is that the virus is contagious, and while it doesn't infect everyone, it's highly transmissible. Several nurses who've been in contact with him have already shown identical symptoms."

"I haven't been infected yet, but as a precaution, we've quarantined everyone who's been in close contact with him."

Tarquin frowned, his thoughts drifting back to the pandemic from a couple of years ago.

"Did he contract this before returning, or did it develop after he came back?" Tarquin asked, trying to piece everything together.

"It seems he was already infected before his return. The virus has an incubation period where the infected show no symptoms," Benjamin clarified.
