"Yes!"
"I'll get back to you tomorrow?"
"Mm, I'll let you know once he calls back."
"Okay."
Wen Shi keeps his word. After learning about Wang Nan's child's condition through his comrade the next day, the first thing he does when he gets home is tell her about Wang Nan's child's condition.
"Preliminary diagnosis is meningitis!"
Yi Chichi's eyes widened abruptly, "Is it mild or severe?"
Meningitis was something far removed from her life in the original world; she hadn't encountered it in real life.
But she knew the peril of this illness and that it had taken many people's lives.
She also knew about the research on the meningococcal vaccine, which didn't start until 1975, and whether it's been fully developed is still unknown.
Mass vaccination began in the '80s.
Wang Nan's child...
"Can it be treated?"
"Don't know yet. The child is still in the hospital, and we'll find out more after the treatment."
The couple glanced at each other in silence.
