Meeting You Was Fate

"This kind of bacteria can hide in the human body very well. It's impossible to detect it during the early stage of infection.
Furthermore, if we need to know more about it, we have to extract a lot of blood from him. The body of a four-year-old won't be
able to bear it." John sighed helplessly while shaking his head.
At that moment, the expression on Nathan's face looked rigid. He almost looked furious. He said in a somewhat ferocious tone,
"So, what are we supposed to do? Are we going to just wait and do nothing?"
"Not really. If by any chance, another kind of bacteria enters Adrian's body, this bacteria may act as an anti-body that could kill
the existing bacteria. In this case, he can be cured."
"That method is widely used in the medical world. But the chances of success are really low. What if the bacteria in Adrian's body
is more powerful? The existing bacteria will just absorb the anti-body. And what if Adrian's body rejects the anti-body, and it
becomes toxic for him?" Mandy asked in a serious tone. The expression on her face was turning a little bit sullen.
"You're right, Mrs. Jin. But I really think that the only thing we can do for now is to wait. Take him to the hospital regularly for
physical examination. If we still don't see any symptoms after six months, then that means we have nothing to worry about,"
John asserted.
The atmosphere in the living room became dreary right away. Everyone had a deadpan expression on their faces. Nathan, Nacy,
and Simon, who didn't study medicine, realized the seriousness of the matter as well.
Mandy closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath. Somehow, she felt so much pain in the deepest part of her heart. It really
seemed as if Adrian had been targeted by Eve. 'Damn you, Eve! If you really did this, I will make sure that you'll suffer! When I'm
done with you, you'll wish you were dead instead.'
It wasn't long after that when John left.
Originally, Nacy and Simon had come to ask if there was any progress in the matter of the perfume. But with what was
happening to Adrian, they had set it aside for now.
Instead, Nathan told Nacy about what happened. For the past few years, Eve became really close to a person called Doctor
Ouyang. The doctor specialized in the study of bacterium. It looked like the doctor had the ability to kill people easily.
"Nathan, Mand, let's try to calm down first and think about this logically. What if we're just overthinking and jumping to
conclusions?" Nacy tried to ease the tension in the room.

"Yes, I know. Don't worry. I'll go and read some books on bacteria. I refuse to believe that there is no cure for this one." Then,
Mandy pressed on her forehead as she felt her temples aching a little. Her face was still pale by that point.
Then, Simon noticed the time and realized that it was very late already. He stood up, held Nacy's hand, and said, "It's getting
late, we'd better go home now." He then turned to the rest of the group and said, "You need to have some rest, too. Don't stress
yourself too much. We'll find a solution soon enough."
"You're right," Mandy and Nathan answered in unison. Then, both of them stood up to bid their goodbyes to Nacy and Simon.
The autumn night breeze that night was cold, sending shivers and goosebumps over their skin. The entire city was lit up while
Nathan's eyes were as dark as the ocean. He and Mandy were silently standing in the yard.
A gust of wind, which was especially strong, blew in their direction. Instantly, several leaves fell from the tree. Mandy looked at
the starry sky above her, but she couldn't appreciate the night view.
Nathan reached out his arms and embraced her more tightly. But the man restrained his strength with so much care so as not to
hurt her. He pursed his thin lips and looked at her intently. "Mand, no matter what will happen in the future, I'll be with you. We'll
protect Adrian together. I will never let you face any challenges by yourself."
Upon hearing what he said, Mandy was dazed for a while. She didn't expect that Nathan would suddenly be so affectionate. With
his words alone, she was really moved to tears. She sniffed, and a stream of hot liquid filled her eyes. Then, she felt a lump in
her throat. "What are you doing? Why are you suddenly becoming so sentimental?"
"I'm only like this when it comes to you. Don't be too bothered by it. Adrian is a lucky boy, and he will be fine." His deep voice
was like the sound of the violoncello. After listening to it, Mandy was finally able to calm down.
"Yes, our little Adrian will be fine," Mandy softly said.
"Silly girl." A touch of a smile appeared in Nathan's deep eyes. He turned around with his arm still on Mandy and gently said,
"The wind is becoming stronger. Let's go back inside."
Mandy nodded her head. She snuggled up against Nathan's chest before they walked towards the house. They went to a room
containing all kinds of building blocks. Nathan had specially prepared it for Adrian.
At that moment, Lillian was building blocks with the little boy. He was scrutinizing every block with his round eyes. He looked
really cute when he was extremely focused on something.

Mandy walked over to him and saw that it looked like Adrian was building a car.
"Adrian," Mandy said in a trembling voice. She then sniffed, trying her best not to cry in front of her son.
Raising his head, he saw how red Mandy's eyes were. He immediately dropped the building blocks in his hands and hugged her.
In the tender voice of a child, he said, "Mom, why are you crying?"
As soon as he finished saying that, he buried his head in her chest. In turn, Mandy embraced him tightly. At that moment, she
couldn't help the tears from flowing anymore.
Meanwhile, there wasn't a single tear in Nathan's eyes. He didn't say a word but stretched out his arms and silently held his wife
and son. For a while, the three of them just firmly hugged each other.
It was the happiest moment in Nathan's life. He could embrace the people he loved the most.
The hug gave Mandy a sense of security. It truly felt like Nathan would always be by her side. In that distressing moment in their
lives, they at least had each other.
"I'm fine, Adrian," Mandy said in a gentle voice. She sniffed some more and calmed down after a while.
That same night, Dean Tyler held a party at the MK International Restaurant for Audrey.
In order to welcome her, the Dean had put in a lot of thought for the event.
The restaurant was located in the most prestigious commercial area in City A. It was a relatively high-end hotel.
At night, the lights were bright, and the view on the riverside was breathtaking. It was like a luxury painting.
The Dean had booked eight rooms, which were all connected to one another. Separating every two rooms was a glass door
covered with a Chinese style painting on it. When the door was opened, the people in both rooms could see each other.
All of the people who came to the party were directors of JR Hospital. Except for the doctors of the Cardiology Department,
everyone else had high positions. Even the four vice deans were present, which was enough to show how much importance the
Dean had regarding Audrey.
The party was specially prepared to welcome her. In fact, a celebration like that had never been done before.
