Chapter 1242 Her Blood Type Is Different
Luke's expression remained the same when Queenie mentioned Luca." We'll see after we get the testreport." "But Bea isn't..." Queenie sighed. She knew that she would be bothering Luca by asking herabout it, and Luca had made it known that she wanted to remain anonymous.
"Let's listen to Luke on this," Jack said. "Bea might only be down with the common cold. It's probablynothing too serious."
Queenie nodded slightly, though she seemed just as worried as earlier.
After being ill for so long, words of comfort no longer held any meaning for her. Even though she wasrecovering day by day, her outlook remained pessimistic.
An hour later, Dr. Blake and a nurse came into the room. They brought the apparatus for taking bloodwith them.
Mr. Crawford, We'll be taking a blood sample from Mrs. Crawford now," Dr. Blake said. Usually, hewould not have to take a blood sample himself, but he did not want to offend the other party.
Mm." Luke nodded and stood by the bed.
The nurse sterilized a patch of Bianca's skin and extracted two vials of blood from Bianca.
Bianca was still unconscious because of the fever, so she did not feel the needle at all.
After the blood samples were taken, Dr. Blake said, "Send the samples to the lab now. Tell them that Iwant a report as soon as possible." "Yes, Dr. Blake." The nurse left with the blood samples immediately.
Dr. Blake turned to talk to Luke. "Don't worry, the report should be done in about two hours. We'll findout the reason why Mrs. Crawford is having a fever." "Mm." Luke glanced at Bianca on the bed. Herbody temperature only went down by one degree after the nurse and caretaker wiped her with rubbingalcohol for one hour. Things were not looking good for her.
Even though he was not knowledgeable in medicine, he could tell that the medication had no effect onher so far.
Queenie asked out of concern, "Doctor, didn't you give her an injection earlier? Why isn't her conditionimproving?" "Mrs. Crawford had been taking regular medication over the last few days, and she wasrecovering just fine. We don't know why the medication didn't work until we have the results from theblood test," Dr. Blake said. He dared not make any wild guesses without the report.
Queenie nodded when she heard that.
Luke sat on the couch and sent Johann a message. [When are you coming back?]
Soon, Johann sent his reply. [I'll only be back in another week. I've heard about Sis's condition from Dr.Blake. Don't worry, we'll see what the blood test tells us.]
Even though he was away in another city, he knew what was going on in the hospital.
When Bianca refused the blood test earlier, Dr. Blake had complained to him about it.
Luke put away his phone after reading Johann's reply, though Johann sent him another message soonafter. [I'm just wondering why Sis didn't want her blood sample taken.]
Luke frowned. Ever since Bianca lost her memories, he had never heard of Bianca passing out at thesight of blood.
Queenie noticed the expression on Luke's face. "You should go back and rest, Luke. We can take careof Bea. You still have to work tomorrow, so don't tire yourself." "I'm fine." Luke placed the phone back inhis pocket.
He had been wondering why Bianca refused the blood test even before Johann asked him.
Seeing that Luke insisted on staying, Queenie nodded and leaned onto Jack. They waited for the bloodtest report.
An hour later, when the horizon was beginning to light up, Dr. Blake received Bianca's test report.
His expression was grim when he came into Bianca's room.
"Dr. Blake, is that the test report?" Among all the people in the room, Queenie was the most anxious.
Dr. Blake nodded and said, "It is the test report, but..." "What are the results?" Judging from thedoctor's expression, Luke could tell that he did not have good news.
Dr. Blake took a deep breath and said, "We've run all the tests with the sample, but we didn't findanything irregular. You can take a look at the test report."
Luke took the report from Dr. Blake's hands. The data shown in the report showed that Bianca'scondition was normal.
"Dr. Blake, are you saying that Bea only has a common cold?" Queenie asked after browsing thereport. After being ill for so long, she was quite proficient in reading medical reports.
"Her body has a stress response toward the abrupt rise in body temperature. Aside from a slightlyhigher white blood cell count, everything else is normal. I can only conclude that she has a commoncold," Dr. Blake said, a lot more confident now that he had the report.
Did you say something about pneumonia?" Luke asked. Before he came to the hospital, the doctor hadtold him that Bianca's condition might turn into pneumonia.
"If her body temperature continues to rise and fall, there's a chance that it might develop intopneumonia." Dr. Blake replied.
Queenie was worried when she heard that. "What should we do, Doctor?"
All we can do now is to lower her body temperature by physical means. I'll adjust her next dose ofmedication," Dr. Blake replied.
Bianca's temperature had only decreased by a little more than one degree after more than two hours. Itwas time to use something stronger.
"Alright, thank you," Queenie said, still worried. When she saw the caretaker using the towel to wipeBianca's forehead, she walked over and said, "Let me do it."
The caretaker nodded and handed her the towel.
Queenie carefully took care of Bianca and said softly. "I didn't expect that it's only the common cold.She's too frail."
Dr. Blake felt a little embarrassed when he heard that.
He was quite sure that Bianca was suffering from viral fever, but he did not expect that it was only thecommon cold.novelbin
"Take her temperature every ten minutes," Dr. Blake told the nurse. "Let me know immediately if hertemperature rises." "Yes, Doctor," the nurse nodded and replied, though she was not too happy about
it. She had been assigned to a double shift at the last minute, and her next shift would start soon. Shewas extremely tired, but she could not complain.
Luke sat down, took photos of the report, and sent it to Johann.
Soon, he received a reply. [Everything seems normal except the white blood cell count. How's hertemperature?] "What does Dr. Park say?" Jack noticed that Luke was taking photos of the report, so heknew that Luke was asking Johann about Bianca's condition.
Everything is normal," Luke replied while typing his next reply.
A while later, he received a message from Johann. [Is the lab mistaken? That's not her blood type.]
