She continued, “Lymph node tuberculosis has the hope of self-healing, but pulmonary tuberculosis only leads to death. It is pulmonary tuberculosis that is called the white plague. The hospital is confusing the two and creating a false fairy tale to build the patients’ confidence.”

——Fairy tales that seem full of positive energy and have a happy ending are actually full of deception and ulterior motives.

Just like the sacred touch ritual in the story, Dean Charles only needed to sow the seeds of hope in the hearts of the patients, or rather, the people outside, because there was no other place that could cure the white plague, and his place became the only hope.

Patients kept coming in, only to die with a false hope.

Alina, recalling her former best friend, asked in disbelief, “……Brother Rick has lymph node tuberculosis?”

“At first, Rick’s neck had more and more growths, so Dr. Kevin moved him to the red ward, but later, his neck started to ulcerate and fester.”

Ruan Qiao said, “It is normal for these lesions to occur in the lymph nodes without the treatment of anti-tuberculosis drugs.”

Alina suddenly understood. Beads of sweat appeared on her face, and her voice trembled: “You just said that lymph node tuberculosis can heal on its own! However, Dr. Kevin said that Rick’s condition was very serious and that he needed surgery immediately! I haven’t seen him since!”

[Bullet screen] [Bai Qianqian] So, that little boy didn’t have to die??

[Bullet screen] [Clang clang] It’s one thing to lie, but to offer such quack treatments is another.

[Bullet screen] [Fat Seaweed] Hope Sanatorium really has nothing but fake “hope”—including its brains.

Dr. Kevin had no idea how to treat real tuberculosis.

It was all a huge lie.

The hospital’s surgeries cannot save any patient.

……

The radio kept playing the number 504, so Rainbow Sonic Boom simply turned off the buzzing sound and sat down again.

Song Song leaned against the wall, head down, lost in thought.

With one boy around, the remaining three girls felt much more at ease.

Although Rainbow Sonic Boom felt more at ease with Mianmian around……

Cowardly Mushroom said, “Those three numbers should be the password to go up to the fifth floor of the ward building, but who dares to go out now…….”

She glanced at the closed door of the common room; the group, fearing discovery by hospital staff, dared not turn on the lights.

Without moving around the room, Rainbow and Secret’s flashlights were out of power, and Song Song’s light was also very weak. In order to save electricity, the group did not turn on their flashlights.

Looking around the room, it was eerie and somewhat frightening.

“Let’s discuss this now. Head Nurse Ethan said that we can’t go to the ward building after the music ends at midnight.” Rainbow Sonic Boom said in a low voice, “We can go back to the fifth floor tomorrow during the day to see if there are any clues.”

Cowardly Mushroom wholeheartedly agreed.

Song Song suddenly said, “Mianmian hasn’t come back yet.”

Rainbow Sonic Boom: “Ah!”

She asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

Song Song lowered her head again and whispered, “Aren’t you guys worried about her?”

Secret suddenly chuckled, then asked him, “Jingjing Youtiao hasn’t come back either, aren’t you worried about him?”

Song Song hesitated for a while, and a light pink blush gradually crept onto his fair profile.
