Chapter 1334
The constructions in the surrounding area had all been rebuilt, and looked very new.
Soon, Adam and Anthea came to the little girl's house.
The little girl's mother was watering flowers in the yard. She was a woman about more than 30 years old and very tall.
Seeing them entering the door with her daughter in their arms, she came up to them in a panic and asked what had happened.
Anthea explained the situation briefly and told her that she was a doctor. Then, she asked the direction of the bedroom and had Adam send the baby in first.
On the bed, she removed the little girl's clothing.
The condition was just as she had expected.
There were red herpes on her chest and back with centripetal division.
The little girl's mother asked anxiously, "Doctor Lee, is my daughter all right?"
Although Anthea was not wearing a white gown at this time, her appearance when she was treating the
disease was totally convincing.
Anthea smiled and said, "Don't worry. Your daughter is just having chickenpox!"
She was very confident about the diagnosis.
When she was in internship, she had come into contact with a lot of children with chickenpox, so she was very experienced in dealing with this disease. "Chickenpox?" The woman was stunned.
"Yes!" Anthea nodded. "It mainly happens in infancy and preschool children. The fever is also caused by it. It looks very dangerous at first, but it's not lifethreatening!" Hearing this, the woman was relieved. "That's good!"
"Now, you'd better change the clothes of your daughter first. And these quilts, you also need to change them into new ones!" Anthea told her what she should do. "Okay, I will do it right now!" The woman answered hurriedly. Then she turned around and went to the cabinet to pick up new clothes for her daughter.
Maybe she was too hasty, and other clothes had also been brought out by her.
Something unexpected was exposed in the closet.
Anthea and Adam looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
There was a lot of money in the cabinet!
Shocked as they were, they still quickly looked away and didn't think much of it.
They only thought that this family were rich and kept a low profile.
Anthea told Adam to buy some antiviral drugs from a nearby pharmacy. Then she helped the little girl's mother to put on clean clothes for the little girl and wrapped the ice with a towel for physical cooling.
After everything was handled, she said, "The disease will last about a week, so don't go out during this period! The scabs will form and fall off in the end. Just make sure that your daughter doesn't scratch her skin, which would cause infection, and there would be no scars left. So, you also need to cut her nails short!"
"Chickenpox is a kind of infectious disease. When people are in contact with the patients or inhale their saliva, they would be infected. That means that you should pay more attention to yourself and the environment at home, especially in cleaning and disinfection, in order not to get infected! Open the windows more frequently!"
Then she added seriously, "Oh, one more thing! Your daughter just played with a few other children. Could you please inform their parents to take care of their child? The incidence rate of the chickenpox can reach 95%. If they had it already, there is nothing to worry about. But those who never have it should be kept an eye on!"
"Okay, I'll inform them later!" The woman nodded vigorously.
At this time, Adam was back with the drugs.
Anthea then told the woman how to use them.
The woman was very grateful and expressed her gratitude again and again.
Anthea waved her hand. For her, it was the duty of a doctor. In order to ease her worry about the child, Anthea changed the topic casually. "Did you grow up here?"
"No, I'm from Ice city!" The woman replied. She paused for a while and continued hesitantly, "I just moved here with my daughter!"
Anthea laughed. "Oh, I also come from Ice city!"
She didn't expect that she would meet a fellowtownsman in this place.
Hearing this, the woman became more enthusiastic. "Mr. Chin, Dr. Lee, please have a seat! I'll make you a cup of tea!"
It was hard to refuse her kindness.
Anthea said hurriedly, "Don't bother. Water will do!"
"All right!" The woman answered with a smile and went to the kitchen to pour water for them.
The little girl lying on the bed woke up at this time. After the fever subsided, she looked much more energetic.
People who had had the chickenpox would be immune to it all their lives. Adam and Anthea both had it before, so they were not worried about being infected. They all went to the bed and helped the little girl up.
The little girl had a very good memory and had already recognized them.
"We meet again!" She said.
Adam smiled at her.
Anthea told her, "Well, you can call me Anthea! And this is Adam."
"All right, Anthea." The little girl nodded.
Anthea touched her braids lovingly.
Perhaps because she was sick, the little girl said pitifully, "I miss my dad now!"
Anthea had observed that there seemed to be only the mother and daughter living here, so she asked tentatively, "Where is your father?"
"Mom said that he has something to do and can't be with us now! I don't know when I can see him again."
The little girl said childishly while playing with her fingers. "But last month, when dad accompanied me to the amusement park, he promised me that he would take me to play merry-go-round after Christmas!" Hearing this, Anthea was relieved.
This was a complete family.
The little girl seemed to be really in the mood to talk and kept speaking. She took a photo out from under the pillow and handed it to Anthea. "Look, this is my dad. I miss him so much!"
Anthea took the photo with a smile, and then her face changed color immediately.
She felt a chill on her back.
This was a family photo, in which the husband held his wife, with their daughter standing in the middle and smiling at the camera.
However, the man looked very familiar to her.
It was Wesley, who had been serving his sentence in Ice city!
Anthea looked at Adam in astonishment, who also turned serious at sight of the photo.
A burst of fast footsteps came. The woman went back from the kitchen and snatched the photo from Anthea's hand right away. She held it tightly in her hand with a flustered expression.
