Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 448

I looked up abruptly, belatedly coming to my senses. "I'm fine… "

"Your health is fine. Everything's good," the doctor reassured. "Oh, and the results from the health department's tests came back clear too."

"Phew! We really dodged a bullet… " Rachel sighed in relief.

"The health department?" I furrowed my brows.

"They discovered that the crazed headmaster from the special school has AIDS. Also, among the people who were locked up with us, one has AIDS, and three have infectious diseases," Rachel explained.

"Quinn was found to be a carrier of the AID virus. Her husband, Callum, was promiscuous and abusive. Not only did he engage in high-risk sexual intercourse, but he was also abusive and alcoholic… Quinn was infected by him."

I gasped in disbelief. It seemed that we had been exposed to a high risk of infection given the circumstances, especially for those who were stabbed by Quinn.

"Rach! Have you taken the test?" I instinctively grabbed Rachel's wrist. She was one of the people Quinn had stabbed. If she had any contact with Quinn's blood…

"I have, and I'm clear. Don't worry, Stephie," Rachel quickly assured me, then laughed. "What are the odds? I should probably go buy a lottery ticket, haha!"

I was stunned for a moment, rendered speechless

Before anyone realized that Quinn and others were carriers of AIDS, no one would have thought of taking antiretroviral drugs. By the time the results came out positive for AIDS, it was likely already past the optimal time for prevention.

"Sir, Yasmin has contracted AIDS and is currently in a state of collapse. Michael is watching over her," Ewan whispered in Steven's ear as he arrived to pick us up from the hospital.

I sat numbly on the edge of the bed.

Yasmin had contracted AIDS… It was as though Quinn had done it intentionally. Since Yasmin couldn't be killed for now, Quinn had inflicted another form of suffering upon her. She infected her with a highly contagious yet incurable disease.
