At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

...

Red Cross Rescue Center emergency patient accommodation area.

Medical staff in simple protective gear hurried through each makeshift isolation section, their exposed eyes betraying clear signs of exhaustion.

Family ward—more accurately, a slightly larger room sectioned off with makeshift isolation curtains.

Erinda, in charge, cradled a clipboard for checks and registrations, her expression serious as she looked at the patient on the bed.

"Their condition is very bad. Ankylosing spondylitis compounded with dengue fever infection has caused severe aggravation of inflammation in their bodies, and their body temperature is also continuously rising. Fortunately, they have been receiving physical cooling treatment. Otherwise, they might already have..."

Erinda quickly noted down the symptoms she observed on the check sheet while explaining the current situation of Ez's parents to Gu Yu.

"Dad, Mom..." Ez and his sister Elena stood to the side, faces full of worry.

Ez, looking at Doctor Erinda, pressed his lips together tightly, his expression tense. Although he didn't understand what Erinda meant, he knew his parents' condition must be terrible.

"Okay, I've got a clear picture of the situation now, but soon, physical cooling won't be able to suppress the rise in their body temperature. We must arrange for 'antongding' muscular injections as soon as possible, and other treatments will have to wait until their body temperature comes down."

"I will arrange for the treatment immediately and do everything I can."

Erinda capped her pen, the check sheet, which had just been blank, now filled with her observational notes.

Her expression was grave, and the look she gave Ez and Elena was tinged with a hint of sympathy.

The physical condition of Ez's parents was extremely critical, one might even say they were hanging by a thread.

Severe ankylosing spondylitis had contorted their bodies into a bizarre, nearly 180-degree folded state, with prolonged compression resulting in insufficient blood supply to their internal organs.

Add to that the high fever brought on by dengue fever, and the inflammation inside them was rapidly worsening. When they first arrived, their temperature was 38.6 or 38.7 degrees Celsius, but even with physical cooling, their temperature had risen by a degree and was about to break 40 degrees Celsius.

If the temperature could not be brought down continuously... the two might ultimately suffer brain death.

Erinda didn't explicitly state these things. Except for Ez and Elena, almost everyone present was a doctor.

Everyone understood just how serious the condition of Ez's parents was...

She just feared the children wouldn't be able to accept it.

Erinda looked at Gu Yu with a troubled expression, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't bring herself to.

She glanced at the two children huddled fearfully by the side of the bed.

She sighed, pulling Gu Yu aside and spoke with heavy words, "If it were just simple dengue fever, our base might be able to cope, but the couple's condition is too severe."

"Especially the woman, who also has severe ankylosing spondylitis. Her body has already folded over one hundred and ten degrees. I have reason to suspect that because of prolonged compression, her internal organs have already developed a severe inflammatory response."

"Plus the high fever and internal bleeding brought on by dengue fever... She is unlikely to last twenty-four hours."

As Erinda spoke, her gaze frequently shifted back to the "folded" woman on the bed.

Had the woman not been in a coma, the pain she was experiencing would have been enough to strip anyone of their will to live.

"What are your thoughts?" Gu Yu's gaze fell on the two children, and rather than offering his own opinion, he instead asked Erinda's thoughts.

"Gu, I know it's cruel... but we must give up on the woman. The man may still have a chance."

Erinda's thumb and index finger vigorously rubbed the ballpoint pen, indicating how agonizing it was for her to voice such words.

Every doctor who came to assist at the Rohingya Refugee Camp was filled with great compassion.

Asking them to give up on a patient was an intensely harsh blow to their healer's hearts.

"Is there really no way Professor Ruosi could help?" Gu Yu thought of the elderly professor from France at the base, "I think..."

"Gu! You forgot! Professor Ruosi is an expert in immunology. She can treat dengue fever, but she has no solution for ankylosing spondylitis."

Before Gu Yu could finish speaking, Erinda directly interrupted him.

"Moreover! The base doesn't have the advanced surgical equipment needed to help us..." she added.

"Advanced equipment..." Gu Yu muttered, and after a moment, his eyes lit up, "That's right! We have a medical ship, our medical ship is equipped with the world's most advanced treatment instruments!"

"Oh!" Elena's expression also brightened, but then quickly dimmed again, "No, we can't get them to your medical ship."

"Why not?" Gu Yu asked without thinking.

Erinda let out a deep sigh, "Because, they, they are refugees... "

The Rohingya from the refugee camp are not allowed to leave the camp area. As refugees caught between Myanmar and Bangladesh, they are not accepted by either country, and have no citizenship.

Even their ethnicity is not recognized.

Once they leave the camp area and set foot in either Myanmar or Bangladesh, they will be deemed to be illegally crossing!

If it were Gu Yu and the others who took them out, these Huaxia doctors who came to assist the Red Cross could likely be seen as provoking Bangladesh for aiding in the refugees' smuggling!

Gu Yu fell silent once again, as he had clearly understood the problem, his fists gradually clenched.

They're all human beings, yet these refugees don't even have the most basic human rights... Not only can they not find shelter, they can't even leave this place.

The situation suddenly became deadlocked.

"Doctor, doctor! My mother seems to be even hotter!" Ez suddenly cried out, and both Erinda and Gu Yu rushed over.

Elena quickly took out a digital thermometer from her chest pocket and measured the temperature on Ez's mother's forehead.

"Beep, beep, beep—" The digital thermometer immediately issued a warning alarm.

"40.5 degrees!" Erinda's hand shook.

In just a few minutes, the speed of the temperature increase was too rapid! This indicated that the inflammation inside the patient was gradually spiraling out of control.

In a little while, the respiratory tract, digestive system, and all internal organs could potentially show symptoms of bleeding!

"Just medicate! I saw Ibuprofen in the medicine cabinet!" Lin Mo clenched his fists; the situation was getting worse and worse.

He looked towards Ez and his sister, Ez was holding his sister, the poor little girl was crying.

Perhaps because all the doctors around were strangers, she didn't even dare to cry out loud, only furtively sobbing while hidden in her brother's embrace.

"You can't use Ibuprofen, you need to use Paracetamol," Erinda shook her head, gesturing for an assistant to fetch another kind of fever reducer.

Seeing Gu Yu's puzzled expression, she gave a weary smile, "You are just a surgeon; when it comes to handling dengue fever, we are the experts."

"Ibuprofen has a blood-thinning effect. Dengue fever patients often experience internal bleeding. If Ibuprofen is used, it could potentially worsen the bleeding, so we must use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (commonly Aspirin, Ibuprofen, etc.)," she patiently explained.

Gu Yu nodded, having learned something new, but he did not feel any joy from the newfound knowledge.

He pointed towards Ez and his sister and said to Erinda, "Please could you look after the two of them for a while? I need to go out."

He was feeling restless, experiencing helplessness for the first time.

He wanted to escape this makeshift aid tent because the helpless gazes of Ez and his sister were making him feel panicked inside.

"Xinyue, where are you? I'm coming to find you!"

"I'm over at rescue placement point number 17 helping out!"

Gu Yu turned on the walkie-talkie to contact Lin Xinyue and, upon receiving the coordinates, he left the place as if fleeing.
