The atmosphere in the hall of the manor was suffocating, and it was almost overwhelming. Frederick sat silently in Madame Jazz's seat, glittering tears rolling in her eyes. Then, a big, round, glittering teardrop rolled down her cheek, dripping to the corners of her mouth, chest, and the ground.

Isabel, who was sitting near her left, had her eyebrows locked together, and she felt a heavy boulder weigh down on her heart, as if she had spent the whole spring, summer, autumn and winter. He put the glass back on the small table beside him, and fixed his eyes on Lady Sir, "Euphemia, now is not the time to be sad, you have to tell me what happened to Sir." ”

Euphemia shook her head bitterly and said slowly, "Isabel, I think this is God's punishment for Herbert, bringing sin to him and me and the child. ”

At this moment, Isabel sensed that her sister's husband was most likely suffering from a contagious infectious disease. This infectious disease may have spread in my sister's family, and it is inevitable that I will be infected if I am in it. Isabel whispered a curse in annoyance, and looked at her sister very seriously, "Madame, I also believe that God has brought sin to Sir Jr. So, can you tell me what different behavior he will show every day? ”

Next, Euphemia told her husband about how she had behaved in the past few months. Symptoms such as fever, fatigue, weight loss, abnormal sweating after falling asleep, and frequent coughing, sputum production with blood streaks or small blood clots in the sputum. My husband also has chest pain, tightness and difficulty breathing.

After the sister finished speaking, she fell into a kind of inner sadness again, and Isabel stood up with some alarm and walked quietly a few steps away. Gazing at his grieving sister with his arms folded over his chest, he couldn't help but think, "Damn, what kind of infectious disease could this be?" ”

"The body is hot, and I sweat profusely after falling asleep......"

"Wait, I remember that Yuphimia seemed to mention coughing and coughing up phlegm, blood in the sputum."

"Fuck it, is Sir Herbert infected with tuberculosis??"

"However, there is no modern medical method that can confirm that Jazz is infected with tuberculosis."

Isabel felt very helpless about this, and she had a sense of despair that she could not help herself. It is important to know that diagnosing whether a patient has tuberculosis requires several measures to confirm. Such as medical history (current medical history, past medical history, contact history, BCG vaccination history), physical examination, routine laboratory tests, etiological examination (sputum thick smear, sputum culture, etc.), imaging examination. (X-ray, CT, MRI), tuberculin test, other special tests (such as flexible bronchoscopy, lung biopsy, etc.). Among these measures, etiological examination and biopsy can be used as the basis for diagnosis.

There was a dead silence in the halls of the Jazz Manor, and there was no sound. Isabel looked down and paced back and forth in thought, "Under normal circumstances, tuberculosis can cause symptoms such as low-grade fever, abnormal sweating, coughing, phlegm, and coughing up blood. As long as Jazz has experienced these phenomena, it can be preliminarily diagnosed as infectious tuberculosis. ”

As Isabel thought of this, she looked sideways at her sister, who was worried that she and her two children would be infected. After carefully looking at her sister's expression and face, she asked gently, "Euphemia, now I need to know if you and your children have ever behaved like Jazz?" ”

When Mrs. Frederick raised her eyelids to look at her, she shook her head, "No." However, as soon as Herbert felt unwell, he ordered himself to be isolated in a room on the manor. ”

"Good. Sister, I can tell you that Sir has a deep sin in him, and he needs to change a living house to keep it from it. ”

"Isabelle, can't Herbert keep himself in his room and keep sin away from himself and us?"

Since there was no advanced medical cure for Sir Herbert's tuberculosis, only some of the treatments at home and in nature could be used. Of course, she vaguely remembers a report that was swept away, presumably about a woman who lived in a crowded big city and gave up any hope of surviving after being diagnosed with tuberculosis.

The lady resolutely made a decision to die in a more comfortable environment. She then moved from the big city to a pristine pine forest in Maine, where she lived in a modest log cabin. In that hut, she spent the whole winter, busy every day with the things she liked and happy, and put her illness aside completely. As for whether the lady later died of illness or had a miracle of complete recovery, she could not remember.

"This lady's approach is a good idea. Well, you can try it. After making her decision, Isabel looked the anguished Lady Sir with a hopeful look, "Now, Euphemia, I just want to know if you want your husband to die?" ”

Madame Jazz stared at her with wide eyes in astonishment, and spoke louder and louder, "What are you talking about, Isabel?" Of course not! If Herbert died, how would my two children and I survive? ”

Isabel looked at her sister, who had already begun to roar, and nodded expressionlessly, "Sister, what I want is your words." From now on, you and your family are to obey my orders completely. Otherwise, the coming of Jesus Christ will not save Sir and your family. ”

It was only then that Euphemia realized her sister's intentions. When he stood up and came to the other party, he deliberately kept his distance from the other party, with a bleak smile on his face, "I'm sorry, Isabel, I was rude to you just now. ”

"It's okay, we're family." As soon as Isabel had finished speaking, she commanded, "Euphemia, you immediately have all of Jazz's clothes, household items, cutlery, and wine glasses packed in boxes, and then go find a wagon to carry the goods." ”

"Well, where are you going to let Herbert live?"

"The Grove Cottage at Asker Manor must keep Sir away from the crowds and towns, and use the valley forest that God has given us to purify Sir of his body and soul."

"Well, that's all I have to do for now."

As Euphemia was about to tell the butler to attend to Jazz's business as her sister had instructed, Isabel said, "Sister, now take me to Jazz's room, and prepare me some linen or cotton cloth." ”
