Infected

In the novel, as the story progresses the husband begins to suspect that his wife is becoming unfaithful. He beings noticing small things such as her change in dress, constantly coming home late, small lies, and her taking a shower right when she gets home as compared to in the morning. He also sees an old co worker at the super market and when his wife comes up in conversation his friend becomes very awkward and tries to change the topic. Another reason that he thinks his wife is having an affair is because one night she comes home especially late and claims that it was because she was working on a demonstrative video, after the husband watches the video, the video ending shows that it was made the day before... meaning the wife had lied about what she had been doing. The family faces tragedy when one night when the wife comes home late and wakes the baby. Hours after the couple is awoken by a harsh scream, the father goes to check on his child, only to find that she is blue. She is rushed to the hospital immediately and no one can seem to know whats wrong. Numerous tests are run and specialists keep coming into the babies room but nobody can seem to find out what has happened or how to help the situation. After staying up all night with the screaming baby, miraculously the baby is healed. Everything becomes fine, her color returned, rash went away, and everything was fine again. The  next day the husband found out through his younger daughter that a cleaning service had come to the house in the middle of the night and cleaned every single thing in the house, including the babies room. After knowing what the wife does for a living, I would predict that she was handling something very experimental at work and when she came home it was still on her and it infected the baby. As the family situation goes down hill, so does the parents relationship. I would predict that the wives hazardous materials that she is dealing with at work will have an outbreak throughout the world and everyone will become infected.
