Jasmine sighed, seeing that Sylvia was still so beautiful. Eric shrugged, then remarked, "The individual who was just escorted out is her boyfriend. He insisted on stirring up trouble! I've been quite tolerant.""Oh dear, causing a ruckus here. The consequences will be severe. He might face a week or two of confinement at least," Sylvia teased.Jasmine was taken aback. The severity of the situation caught her off guard. She turned to Eric for assistance, but he brushed her off and directed his attention to Sylvia."Is everything settled within the company?" he asked.Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, it's all sorted out. If it's truly unavoidable, we can consider this a brief respite for everyone. However, the factories and logistics departments still can't afford to pause temporarily. Let's see how things unfold in Salt City."Before she could continue, Sylvia's phone rang, interrupting her. She glanced at the screen. "Excuse me, I need to take this call."As she stepped
Upon hearing Sylvia's question, Eric raised an eyebrow. "Roasted chicken, stir-fried vegetables, pork chops, and chicken soup. Why are you asking this?" Sylvia's mouth watered. She licked her lips and said, "It sounds really delicious!"Eric was dumbfounded. "Isn't it just some home-cooked dishes? What's so delicious about them? What did you have for dinner?" "My dinner was relatively simple. I ate and drank air."Eric was rendered speechless and stood up. "Yesterday, the property management delivered some groceries. I'll cook a few dishes for you."Sylvia looked at Eric and smiled. "No need to trouble yourself. See if there is any mac 'n' cheese left. It would be perfect if you could also make two fried eggs."There was no mac 'n' cheese left, and Eric didn't like eating them anyway. After more than an hour, he cooked a meal for Sylvia.Sylvia felt satisfied after finishing her meal.As Eric cleaned up the table, he said, "Honey, don't go to the stadium tomorrow. Brook just
Upon witnessing the scene, the man grew displeased."What are you doing? Didn't I instruct you to halt the treatment? The officials are on their way to inspect this ward! Are you willing to take responsibility if something goes awry?"Eric glanced at the man. "Does inspection imply we cannot attend to patients? Who established these regulations?"If you have the time to inspect here, you might as well visit other locations to ensure everyone in Salt City has an ample supply of daily necessities."With that statement, he turned his attention to the patient."Remove your clothes. I will commence acupoint treatment first. The medication will be dispensed this afternoon. Remember to consume it punctually."Based on Eric's understanding of the virus, he knew early treatment significantly eased the curing process. Any delay could greatly impact the treatment's efficacy, so he felt compelled to act swiftly."Hey!" Observing Eric preparing to administer treatment, the man stepped forwar
Eric remained busy until the evening before finally leaving the stadium after thoroughly disinfecting himself. Given the absence of many severe cases, he did not need to remain there.As he emerged from the stadium, a man in a suit approached him. "Hol. Johnson!"Eric turned to face him. "What's the matter?"Though unfamiliar with the man's name, Eric recognized him from the Combat Department's headquarters.The man offered a somewhat awkward smile. "Hol. Johnson, I'm truly sorry about today's events! We've taken swift and decisive action to address the situation. We've treated this location as a battleground, strictly prohibiting access to anyone!"Eric nodded thoughtfully. It appeared that today's occurrences had ruffled some feathers or perhaps, given Eric's status, necessitated intervention. His reputation as an exceptional holistic physician alone was enough to raise eyebrows.With holistic physicians being a rarity, they held a special status. Eric could easily become a pro
Eric spoke bluntly. "It's not just about my parking fee. It's that this rate is simply unreasonable. The parking fee was only 2 dollars a day previously, and now it suddenly jumped to 10 dollars, which is absurd."Forget it. I'll report this myself later. Do you think you're serving the people with such high parking fees? You're just bleeding us dry!"No matter what, he had crawled up from the bottom and knew that 220 dollars a month was significant for poor families. There were many rich people in the world, but there were also many poor people!The man could only smile as Eric drove off.-Arriving at the Williams residence, Eric didn't get out of the car. Even though he had disinfected himself and changed into a new set of clothes when leaving the stadium, he was still worried about bringing the virus back home.If the Williams got infected because of him, he would bear great responsibility."Eric?" Seraphine happened to come back and saw Eric still in the car. "Why haven't y
Early in the morning, just as the sky began to brighten, Eric set out to pick up his parents. Initially, he planned to go alone, but Sylvia insisted on accompanying him, providing welcome company for the journey.After procuring some medicinal herbs from Winston's clinic and purchasing additional medicines from the pharmacy, Eric and Sylvia embarked straight for Nutikiville."It's truly alarming," Sylvia remarked. "We visited numerous pharmacies just to obtain this small amount of medicine. The suppliers in Salt City and Dortmund City must be reaping huge profits!"Her unease was palpable.Medications that once cost 1 or 2 dollars were now commanding prices of 10 dollars! She lamented, "These individuals could have easily hoarded the medicine, yet they 'generously' provided me with a box of it!" The extensive bag of medicine came at a steep cost, totaling over 1,000 dollars for Eric and Sylvia. In the past, such medicines wouldn't have exceeded 100 dollars.Nonetheless, the sh
Eric could be considered an expert in this field.Prior to medical intervention, the mortality rate was indeed high. However, following medical intervention, there had been a significant decrease in the mortality rate. The latest data from Dortmund City indicates that the mortality rate had dropped to as low as 3%.Nevertheless, the number of deaths remains substantial due to the large population."Mayor Jenkins, where did you hear this from?" Sylvia asked.She felt as though someone was spreading rumors to sow chaos.Hank shook his head. "It's not just one person. Everyone is talking about it. I don't know where it originated. Sylvia, you're in Salt City. Is there any truth to these claims?"Eric smiled wryly. "Mayor Jenkins, please refrain from spreading rumors. I am well-informed about this matter. While the mortality rate was elevated at the outset of the outbreak in Dortmund City, it did not reach the alarming levels being suggested."After medical intervention, fatalities
"Mom, who are those people around Aunt Delilah and Aunt Ruby? Why haven't we seen them before?" Sylvia's curiosity was piqued as she observed the unfamiliar faces.Melinda glanced over and replied, "I don't know them. I haven't seen them before. But I've been noticing them quite frequently these past two or three days. I'm not sure what they're up to. They just sit together and chat."Sylvia felt a sense of unease. The sudden appearance of strangers in the village was unusual. Typically, locals inhabited villages, who were familiar with most individuals from neighboring areas.But these strangers were an exception.Sylvia felt uneasy. The presence of unfamiliar faces in the village was noteworthy. Typically, villages were inhabited by locals who were familiar with one another and even knew most people from neighboring villages.But strangers? Yes, indeed.Previously, during Eric's funding of Nutikiville's construction, the construction team consisted of strangers. However, that
