When Li Du was discharged, April had arrived
Hans stopped ridiculing hier than they had expected If Li Du continued in that state, Hans had planned to send hi to transfer to Saint John Red Cross Hospital, but considering that Sophie was a specialist, his sickness was not in her field, so he gave that hope up
Hannah came every day to visit and provide him meals She was the most self-reliant Rose disliked housework, while Hans wouldn’t even eat the food he cooked for himself
As for his cold, Hannah said, puzzled, ”You haven’t gotten a cold in the half a year you have lived in Flagstaff; as this one so bad?”
Li Du was sensitive enough to pick up on the implication of her question, and asked, ”What the hll kind of look is that? Stopfun of hed and didn’t say anything He waited until Hannah left before pulling a chair over and sitting down
”What?” Li Du could sense that his attitude was different
Hans said, ”I have so I need to tell you Prepare yourself Since I think you have a big heart, I bet you won’t be bothered, but this kind of thing…”
”Don’t beat around the bush like a sissy! Spit it out!”
”Okay—because you were doith a cold for so long, the treasure hunters spread rumors that you weren’t doith a common cold, but that you contracted HIV and have AIDS”
”Huh?” Li Du was stunned ”AIDS? Which piece of sht made that up? Who the hell would be so vicious?”
To hear Hans say this so seriouslyissue If not, he would have said it as a joke
Hans said, ”Don’t be afraid, you’re not infected…”
”Of course I’in!” Li Du furiously interrupted ”How the hell would I have contracted HIV?”
As he had not fully recovered, he started coughing due to his raised emotions
Ah Meow nimbly ran over with a paper cup in its estured to him to stay calm ”I know you’re not infected In fact, the hospital had speculated such in the prelies of your stay Because with such a serious cold, it showed that your immune system had some problems”
The HIV virus that leads to AIDS was not directly harmful to person’s life, but it would slowly destroy the immune system Once that immune systeainst foreign organisms
If the common cold virus infected a normal person, it would be cleansed by their immune system within a few days But when an AIDS patient was infected, it would becoitis, pneumonia,and could ultimately lead to death
”The hospital tested you for HIV and found that there were no issues; just that your CD4 and CD8 immunity cells were low Of course, after treatain”
”CD4 and CD8? What are they?” Li Du was confused
Hans gave him an expression that said: ”You’re really a bumpkin”
”They are the crucial immunity cells within the immune system But that’s not what’s important Anyway, you’re healthy now”
Li Du knew, of course, that he was healthy But other people ht not think so
On the second of April, the skies were clear After the storreenery, and flowers blooo out for a walk, when he received a call from the owner of Phoenix Steampunk Hostel
On the phone, Ironman Bedes first inquired about his health, and then said, ”Li, don’t lose faith in life AIDS is actually not that scary I have an old friend that has carried the virus for over 20 years He knows a lot about this Do you need me to introduce him to you?”
Li Du said helplessly, ”Bedes, I don’t knohere you heard these rumors, but I don’t have AIDS!”
”Ah? Dht that it was unlikely you would have contracted AIDS Enjoy the sun; see ya, buddy”
This call htti me to a treasure hunter’s bar”
Hans said hesitantly, ”I thought you didn’t like going to bars”
