Chapter 161

“Doctor, what’s wrong with Angie? Say something!” Jacob questioned anxiously while grabbing thedoctor’s arm.

At that moment, he could not care less about his image. It feels dreadful enough to be tickled, so Iknow what it feels like to suffer from itchiness. Besides, Angeline’s rashes became more severethroughout the journey from the press conference to the hospital. Who can predict how bad it can get?

“Sir, please calm down.” The doctor shoved Jacob’s hand away, adjusted his glasses, and checked themedical report. “After going through the blood test report, I realize the result is normal. Your conditionisn’t some kind of infection. Did you eat something that you’re allergic to?”

Hearing that, Angeline furrowed her brows. “No, that’s impossible. I’ve only drank a bottle of water Mr.McKenna handed me today. There’s no way water would cause an allergic reaction.”

“I suggest you bring that bottle of water here for a test. Other than an allergic reaction, it might be afungal infection, given your condition.”

Nancy’s expression turned grim when she heard that. “I’ll call the staff of the press conference rightaway.”

As she spoke, she gave Angeline a reassuring look before she left with her phone in hand.

The doctor let out a sigh. The next second, he filled out a slip and passed it to Angeline. “Get amicroscopic examination first.”

Angeline frowned deeply as she could not help scratching her skin. “Can you please prescribe anantipruritic for me first? I feel awful,” she choked out.

Seeing that, the doctor hurriedly stopped Angeline from scratching and explained solemnly, “Ms.Sorelle, we haven’t identified the cause of your condition, so I can’t thoughtlessly prescribe medicine

for you. Please bear with it for a while. I’ll give you treatment as soon as we replace out the cause of yourillness.”

Hearing the doctor’s remark, exasperation inundated Angeline. Left with no choice, she could only gofor an examination while enduring extreme discomfort.

Half an hour later, Angeline went to the doctor again with the report. At that point, she was alreadysuffering from an uncontrollable itch all over her body, and she could barely stand while propping herhands on the desk, let alone sit down.

In fact, as soon as her bottom came in contact with the chair, overwhelming itchiness would flare up asthough thousands of ants were crawling all over her body.

The doctor’s face fell after he read her report. “Yes, it’s a fungal infection indeed. It’s probably from wildherbs or fungus. I’ve only encountered such a rare medical case twice in my life.”

When Angeline heard the word “rare,” an ominous feeling bubbled up within her heart, and she got soanxious that she was on the verge of tears. “Please just cut to the chase.”

“You’d better brace yourself, Ms. Sorelle. Although the previous patient who got the same infection wascured, pus discharged from her rashes and resulted in widespread disfigurement all over the body.”

The doctor’s words left Angeline speechless.

Her face turned ashen when she heard that, and she was so terrified that she could not replace the words.What the h*ll is going on? I was fine just a moment ago!

Any ordinary lady would feel devastated when faced with such a disaster, not to mention Angeline,whose occupation was a celebrity.

Meanwhile, Jacob, too, wore a look of utter despair when he heard the doctor’s statement. Worried thatAngeline might lose her mind, he hastily comforted her, “Angie, don’t be sad. That’s not necessarily thecase. Let’s see a proper dermatologist. You’ll definitely be cured.”

“What should I do…” Angeline covered her face with her hands, bent down, and began sobbing.

No matter how tough she usually was, she was still assailed by an emotional breakdown as she didn’texpect to encounter such a situation.

“Doctor, please give her an antipruritic shot.” Jacob, who was standing aside, panicked upon seeingher reaction.

Shortly after, the doctor prepared some antipruritic for Angeline. Then, he rolled up her sleeve andinjected the medicine into her arm.

The itchiness was finally alleviated after the injection. Angeline felt as if she had been reborn and couldbreathe better.

Since Angeline’s condition was an uncommon medical case that attracted the doctors’ attention, theycame to a conclusion after some discussion that her infection was likely to spread.

Therefore, they suggested keeping Angeline in a quarantine ward for the time being for follow-upobservation.

That shocking decision struck Angeline like a bolt of lightning, and it was too much for her to bear.

Under the supervision of the nurse, she was forced to enter the ward. The ward was filled withinanimate medical equipment without a single plant that provided a sense of life and vigor. Angelinefound it hard to even breathe amidst the barren atmosphere despite only being in there for a fewminutes.

As if that wasn’t worse enough, the doctor only allowed people to visit her twice daily, and the visitationduration was limited to an hour.

That was driving Angeline crazy. While everyone tried their best to avoid her, Nancy was the onlyperson who begged the doctor for a long time and finally got to enter the ward to talk to the former.“Angeline, I have to keep it as brief as possible. Indeed, the test result shows that the bottle of watercontains the bacteria the doctor mentioned.”

Upon hearing that, Angeline’s expression turned grim, and she got slightly agitated. “But Mr. McKennahas no reason to do that.”

“You’re right. It’ll affect the whole series if anything happens to you, so it’s impossible for Mr. McKennato do that. Did you recently offend someone again, Angeline?”

It was only after Nancy’s reminder that Angeline gradually realized something. Apart from Joseline,who would try so hard to set me up? I can’t believe she would resort to such despicable methods just towin Hanson’s heart. She must be insane!

However, Angeline didn’t have time to think about revenge as she just wanted to leave the ward assoon as possible. She looked at Nancy and said anxiously, “Nancy, talk to the doctor and see whetherthey can allow me to return home. I still have a lot of matters regarding Forrester Group to attend to.”

“I know. Calm down first.” Nancy held Angeline’s hand tightly and gazed at the latter solemnly. After abrief moment of hesitation, she finally added, “Don’t be afraid. I’ve already contacted Mr. Golding. He’son his way here.”

“What?” Angeline’s expression instantly changed. Appearing slightly emotional, she turned away. “Whydid you summon him? I don’t want him to see me in this state.”

“Angeline, I understand how you feel, but why do you still care so much at this point? Mr. Golding is theonly one who can save you.”

Angeline froze when she heard that. That’s true. Evander is the only person who can take me out of thehospital.

At that precise moment, Jacob’s furious roar rang out from the corridor outside the ward. “What are youdoing here, Evander? Are you here to make fun of Angie?”

Evander’s deep, domineering voice was heard talking. “Get out of my way.” His dictatorial tone madeAngeline shudder.

“I’ll go out and take a look.”

As Angeline watched Nancy leave, she grew increasingly restless. After scanning the surroundings,she wrapped her head with a blanket.

After all, any woman would be reluctant to let their loved ones witness them in such a hideous state.

The mere thought of how horrible she looked right then made her feel as though she had fallen into theicy depths of despair.
