Chapter 570: Chapter 568: Be Good_1

"No need, Nanny Wu, do you know where Lu has gone?" Xia Ningxing’s voice was filled with urgency.

Nanny Wu shook her head, puzzled, "Are you talking about the young master? I don’t know about that. Anyway, I saw him hurriedly take his car keys and leave just now. He seemed very rushed."

Hearing this, Xia Ningxing had a faint idea of what Lu Tingli was up to.

What a fool!

She couldn’t help but curse him inwardly, as the corners of her eyes began to moisten.

She hurriedly called Lu Tingli again, instructing him not to come, but the one who answered the phone was still Nanny Wu.

"Xingxing, don’t call anymore, the young master’s phone is left at home."

"Is there something wrong?" Nanny Wu couldn’t help but ask, sensing an ominous feeling.

Xia Ningxing could no longer care about Lu Tingli, took a deep breath, and repeated the instructions she had given to Lu Tingli to Nanny Wu, "Nanny Wu, a new epidemic is breaking out. Hurry and prepare disinfectant and anti-virus masks. Please, you must take good care of Chuanchuan and the old master for me."

"How could this happen!" Nanny Wu was incredibly shocked, but there was not a trace of doubt in her eyes.

Having lived under the same roof for so long, she obviously knew what kind of girl Ningxing was; she would never exaggerate about such matters.

"Rest assured, Xingxing, I will definitely take good care of Chuanchuan and the old master. Even if it costs me my life, I will ensure their safety," Nanny Wu said, choking up with emotion.

"Thank you," Xia Ningxing’s voice was equally choked up.

"Also, you must find someone to stop Lu Tingli right away, don’t let him come to the hospital."

There were so many patients with the epidemic at the hospital; it was very easy to get infected.

Nanny Wu nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know, I’ll do just that."

"Ya ya!" Chuanchuan, who was held in Nanny Wu’s arms, seemed to sense that she was on the phone with his mother and that his mother was in danger. He immediately struggled and tried to grab the phone from Nanny Wu’s hand.

"Wu wu!"

His little hands scratched and clawed, but he couldn’t reach the phone, and the little one began to cry in frustration.

Upon hearing her child’s cry, Xia Ningxing immediately envisioned her little one’s pitiful look. A mother’s heart was instantly wrung with pain, and she shouted into the phone, "Chuanchuan!"

The tears she had been forcibly holding back now finally fell.

She then broke down sobbing.

How she wished she could rush home that very moment to embrace his soft and fragrant little body, to kiss his little cheeks.

But she couldn’t; she needed to be quarantined.

And what awaited her could be health or it could be death.

How afraid she was that she might never see him again.

"Ya ya!" Chuanchuan, hearing his mother’s voice, immediately began to wail, calling out as if responding to her.

Forcing back her tears, with a choked yet gentle voice, Xia Ningxing said, "Chuanchuan, be good, don’t cry anymore. While mommy is away, you must listen to daddy, Grandpa Zeng, and Nanny Wu, alright? Don’t cause them trouble, mommy loves you."

"Alright, mommy is going to hang up now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Ningxing forced herself to end the call; otherwise, she might have talked to him for three days and nights straight.

She hadn’t informed her relatives and close friends yet; she couldn’t afford to waste time on the little one for now.

After Xia Ningxing wiped the tears from her face, she began to call her family and friends one by one to urge them to prepare immediately.

The little one, hearing no more of Mommy’s voice over the phone, suddenly burst into wails, flailing his chubby legs and arms in Nanny Wu’s embrace as if he desperately wanted to fly to Xia Ningxing’s side right away.

"What’s the matter? Why is Good boy crying so hard?" The old master was also alarmed by the little one’s crying and hurried out of his room, taking him into his arms to comfort him, "Good boy, don’t cry, don’t cry, how about grandpa holds you?"

In the past, the little one would certainly have stopped crying as a courtesy, but this time, he continued to sob incessantly.

"What’s going on?" The old master asked Nanny Wu, who was wiping away tears, his brow furrowed deeply.

Nanny Wu, sobbing, answered, "Master, it’s terrible, an epidemic has broken out in Star Shine, and Xingxing has been quarantined. We still don’t know if she’s been infected!"

"What!"

Upon hearing this, the old master who had been comforting the little one abruptly sat down on the sofa, his expression one of shock and stupor.

Meanwhile, the television set in the living room was broadcasting the same message across all channels—

"According to the latest information from the Epidemic Prevention Bureau, a new type of epidemic has broken out in many parts of our country. The health organization has named it ’S’, and this epidemic has some very typical characteristics, including high fever, vomiting blood, convulsions, and rashes or chickenpox all over the body!"

"If any citizen’s family member develops these symptoms, please immediately take them to the hospital for quarantine and treatment. Do not delay, as it could harm both the individual and others!"

"Although there is no effective vaccine at present, health organizations around the world are working day and night to develop one. I believe that there will be a breakthrough, so please wait patiently, citizens!"

"Finally, I’d like to remind all citizens not to go out during this period, avoid crowded places, and if you must go out for unavoidable reasons, please wear a mask to prevent droplet transmission..."

The trembling voice of the host came through the television.

Every word uttered seemed to cast a shadow over people’s minds.

Through the camera, one could see many people with faces burning with high fever, continuously vomiting blood or convulsing, and then being rushed to the hospital.

It took a good while for the old master to come to his senses.

Star Shine was about to face a major disaster!

The old master stood up abruptly from the sofa, unable to stay seated any longer!

"Nanny Wu, take good care of Chuanchuan for me, I need to go to the hospital to check on Xingxing." As he spoke, he tried to hand the child over to her.

With Xia Ningxing quarantined, he couldn’t sit still. He had to go to the hospital to understand the situation, even if just to offer her a word of comfort.

Nanny Wu hurriedly grabbed him, sweating profusely, "Elder, what are you doing? The elderly have weaker immune systems and are the easiest to infect. Please, don’t go. Moreover, she just told me to take good care of you. Elder, you might not listen to me, but you should listen to Ningxing’s wishes, shouldn’t you?"

To keep the old master at home, Nanny Wu was pleading earnestly.

The old master sighed and reluctantly sat back down on the sofa.

Nanny Wu was right; he could ignore her words, but not Ningxing’s.

If Ningxing knew he went to see her at this time, she would be unhappy and might even get angry because of it.

Sigh.

The old master couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh.

What on earth was this mess? How could trouble arise so suddenly without any warning?
