Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Shen Qianshu looked at the information and only felt a cold shiver run down her back. A thin layer of cold sweat covered her entire body, and there was something in her mind prickling her, making it was extremely painful.

It was simply too ridiculous.

Ye Ling actually never had a vaccination.

Nowadays, when a child was born, almost all vaccines that could be given within the age of three would have been given. The child mortality rate was high in ancient times, mostly due to smallpox and plague. At that time, there was no vaccination, so the children were weak. If they caught smallpox or the plague, there were few that could survive.

Now, medical knowledge was very developed, and children were vaccinated as soon as they are born. It was very rare for people to catch influenza, unless it was a mutant virus such as SARS. Even the doctors would never have expected Ye Ling to catch influenza.

Furthermore, it was an older body that had caught it.

In general, even without a vaccine, most outbreaks occurred in children and rarely in adults.

Ye Ling vomited very badly. He vomited out whatever he ate and had diarrhea once every few minutes. He lost weight every day at a rate that was visible to the naked eye. Fortunately, medical knowledge was developed, and with the root of the illness found, and a solution could be derived.

However, it was not easy to cure the disease. The illness had already started, and the effect of the vaccine would be small. One had to wait for the entire illness to surface. For half a month, Ye Ling had continued to have fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and lost almost 15 kg. His cheeks began to lose its fat, and he became bone-thin to the touch. He could not move without any support, and Shen Qianshu was distressed.

Luckily, half a month later, his condition improved slightly. His high fever retreated for two days and did not recur again. His vomiting was less severe, and he had fewer incidences of diarrhea. From only one bowl of porridge per day, he could now drink three bowls of porridge. Shen Qianshu was extremely grateful. It was already good to be able to eat.

The entire medical team was also elated.

“Master, at first I thought I would have another incidence of SARS. This time, you would be the source of the infection, which scared me to death.” Shen Qianshu spoke. In recent years, such large-scale infectious diseases usually appeared in relatively barren and poverty-stricken places.

Ye Ling pinched her palm.

His illness was not transmitted to anyone. Even though Shen Qianshu took care of him every day dutifully and slept beside him, she was not infected. His heart gradually calmed down.

This illness came quite suddenly.

“If we were in ancient times, I would have dragged Zhong Ran out and beat him to death. He actually let you catch a strain of influenza. He is too incompetent.” Shen Qianshu commented.

Zhong Ran shivered, Miss Shen, can this even be blamed on me? You can’t kill me even if your heart hurts for Master. I feel even more wronged than Dou E.

Ye Ling pinched her palm again and was not very willing to speak. He felt extremely embarrassed.

Since a young age, he had never experienced such a fever with constant vomiting, diarrhea, and lack of appetite. His image had been greatly damaged. He required care from others daily, and his legs often lacked strength, with his body feeling as if someone had dug everything out.

She had been watching movies recently, and some of the end-of-the-world films were all caused by infectious diseases that quickly swept through a village or a town within a month. Gradually, the disease would be spread far and wide, marking the start of a global epidemic. Many end-of-the-world films originated from that.

She did not dare to do anything but to imagine. The Miss Shen, who had a huge imagination had been crying and wondering if the end of the world was arriving. It felt so wrong for their castle to be the first batch to die.

As it turned out from the check, it was because he had never been vaccinated.

That was why he fell ill.
