As Mateo stared at Katelyn he even wanted her more. She was intelligent too and the drive that she had for won't was something she had seen in a woman.
They all wanted to get married and get children. He hoped that his brothers were proud of how their sister was.
"I think that is them ", said Mateo as he pointed to one old couple that was seating in the lobby.
They had been at the hospital quite a lot and he assumed that they were the young man's parents.
The moment they saw Mateo heading the way they stood up like they were curious about what news he had for them.
"Hello ", Mateo greeted them.
"Hello doctor do you have any news for us we have been trying to see our son but they say that we can't be able to see him is he okay ", asked the mother as she looked worried.
"Yes for now he is fine and we are doing everything that we can to make sure he is okay. He is under quarantine that is why you can't see him because we are not sure if the disease spreads due to human contact ", explained Mateo and the old lady nodded her head.
"So have you found a cure ?", asked the father.
"Nit really but we just learners some information that might help, explain to them ", he said as he rugged Katelyn.
The old man loomed Katelyn over bad and wondered what the young lady would say that would help his son.
"Am sorry I don't know who she is can you explain it to me instead ", said the man as he looked at Mateo.
"Well I would bit you see Katelyn here is one of the best we have in the hospital and if not for her we would have not thought if what she has to say so how about you sit down listen and answer the questions she has for you ", said Mateo and the couple did not interject.
"Okay well at first the doctors thought it was a food reaction but the way the symptoms worsened it wouldn't be possible so they thought it might have been an airborne disease.
What is trying to say is that if it was an airborne disease a lot of people would have contacted it by now which means it is something that he consumed or came in contact with if it is not food it might be something he drunk.", tried explaining Katelyn.
"So far no one has gone in with the same symptoms with your son which means it's not something that a lot of people might have come in contact with so is there something that he might have eaten or drank ?", Katelyn asked them.
"No he didn't even seat when he reaches home, he dropped his luggage and came straight here he was already complaining when he got here ", the mother said.
"Well so we have ruled that one out, where was he coming from because that might be where he contacted it from ?", Katelyn asked them.
"He is a miner he just came home for the weekend because the place they were mining collapsed so they all lost work ", the mother explained.
"Okay maybe that is where he got it from but we can't be sure until we go there so that we can confirm it in the meantime we will do everything to make sure he is okay ", said Katelyn smiling.
"Okay doctor we will be waiting to hear the news from you ", said the mother.
"Wait so where is the mine we have to go there so that. we know if there is something we will find that can help us ", Katelyn said.
"It's in Hambridge ", the mother said.
"Okay thank you ", she said as they walked away.
"Do you think the following of the line might have been the reason?", Mateo asked Katelyn.
"Am but sure but I think so ", said Katelyn.
"Okay so we have to go there ", said Mateo.
"Does the hospital approve travels ?", Katelyn asked him.
"Yes it does they won't have an issue with this they will even send some more people with us so that we can get to the bottom of this ", said Mateo.
"Well then you need to go talk to the officials right ?", Katelyn asked him.
"Yes let me go and maybe we will be gone by the end of the day ", said Mateo as he left.
Katelyn had never been so proud of herself as she was. It was not something big to other people but to her, it felt like a major achievement.
She could not wait to go to Hambridge to see if her theory was right or wrong. She saw Erin making her way to where she was standing and she was so happy to share the news with her.
"Hey ", she said to Erin.
"Hey you look so happy what's up ?", Erin asked her.
"It's nothing really but is going to Hambridge by the end of the day to investigate something ", Katelyn said.
"What are you going to investigate ?", Erin asked her.
"So that is this patient who is sick and is under quarantine, the doctors have tried everything but there is no chance it just keeps on getting worse.
At first, they thought that it was an airborne disease but so far the people who touched him are healthy and there is nothing wrong so I thought that maybe it might have been something he consumed ", said Katelyn as she took in a deep breathe with a look of excitement on her face.
"We have talked to the parents and they say that he was working in a mine right before he came home and it collapsed ", she said.
"So if it was not food that caused it then probably something in that mine can give us the clue to what caused his reaction ", said Kat.
"Wow that sounds pretty amazing ", said Erin.
"Yeah it is I just hope it works because that' is the only lead we have on his case ", said Kat.
