In the past five days in Jamelan, Aaron had heard of Madelyn many times,
Some villagers regretted their previous indifference to Madelyn who was r
was rich now.
The others dreaded Madelyn who had killed her family at a very young age. They said that nobody dared to help her, except Betty
Gradually, Aaron’s interest in Madelyn grew.
While Aaron was lost in thought, Owen walked on. He quickly caught up with Owen after he snapped back to reality.
Because of the flu, both Owen and Aaron became idle. They bought medical stuff and gifted them to the villagers.
Owen stopped by his car and said to Aaron, “I’ll drive them to the hospital. You stay here
yhere!
Aaron said, “I will go with you.”
“You stay here to help the villagers. Be careful. Your safety comes first. Hand out the stuff to the villagers, and stay out of trouble.”
Most villagers were either little or old, so Aaron could do something for them. Aaron nodded. “All right.”
Owen started the engine and caught up with Kate “Kate, let me drive you to the hospital.”
The car moved faster than the wheelchair did.
With Kate’s help, Owen carried Botty into the car, and the wheelchair was placed in the trunk.
Kate couldn’t help but thought, “It is great to have a man around!” However, the car was stopped before it left the village.
There were four or five masked villagers and police officers on the other side of the roadblocks.
Kate recognized the leader of the village, Winston Morton. “Winston, why are there roadblocks? Betty is sick, and she should be rushed to the hospital right away.”
With a worried look, Winston
will be infected.”
explained, “It is confirmed that an unknown virus has spread in our village. Take Betty back to her home. Be careful, or you
Winston’s voice was muffled by the mask, and there was unmistakable gravity in it.
A police officer added, “Jamelan is quarantined, and the medical team is coming. For the public good, no villager is allowed to leave.”
An unknown virus… How dangerous!
Owen glanced at Betty in the backseat and frowned. “Betty is severely sick, and there isn’t enough medicine.”
Nodding, Kate said, “Winston, Betty is old. Any delays in treatment is risky”
Winston hesitated. “Well”
“No,” one officer said sternly. “The virus is highly infectious, and we can’t put the public at risk.”
He handed some medicine to Kate. “Go home, and take good care of the sick. The medical team will arrive today. The hospital is full of patients, and most of them are from the villages nearby. Jamelan is the worst–affected village. It should be quarantined, and we will help the sick. After the medical staff arrive, we will send a doctor over to check on the sick.”
Winston warned, “Kate, you can’t go home if you go to the hospital now. What will happen to your granddaughter?”

Chapter 239
Violet was sleeping at home, and Kate finally realized that her granddaughter was infected by the virus. Instantly, her heart tightened right away.”
Owen took the medicine and said, “Thank you, Kate, let’s head back.”
“Okay,” Kate replied.
On the way back, Owen called Aria. He said, “Betty is sick.”
Three hours ago, Aria got news that many people in Jamelan suffered from the flu. She felt weird and quickly packed up her stuff for a trip to Jamelan
For the trip, she bought a lot of drugs and medical equipment.
She was on her way to Jamelan when Owen’s call came. “Is she infected?” she asked.
“Yes,” Owen responded.
“I’m coming.” Then, Aria hung up her phone and focused on driving.
⚫ Night fell. Thunder roared, and rain lashed down.
