Chapter 693 A Lot More Knowledgeable
As time was of the essence, Roxanne forced herself to calm down and asked Jack for an acupuncture kit.
She then got to work and administered acupuncture treatment to help stabilize Jamie’s condition and keep his illness under control.
Fortunately, it wasn’t Jamie’s first time experiencing such a treatment, so he felt no fear whatsoever when he saw the long needles.
Roxanne remembered how Jamie had rather unique acupuncture points. Since he was ill, she made sure to be extra careful when inserting the needles.
Her entire forehead was drenched in sweat by the time she completed the acupuncture procedure.
“I’ve just spoken to the doctor in charge of Jamie,” Jack called out to her from behind.
Roxanne immediately tensed up upon hearing that. “What did he say? Did you manage to obtain any useful information?”
“All we know is that Jamie is suffering from some malnutrition,” Jack replied with a frown.
Roxanne furrowed her brows as the two of them shifted their gaze toward the director of the orphanage, who was standing in the corner.
Lucian donated a huge amount of resources to the orphanage under the name of Queen Group on the day of the medical consultation. We also made another personal donation after that, so this shouldn’t be happening at all.
The orphanage director let out a helpless sigh when he noticed the two staring at him. “Jamie refused to finish his meals ever since he arrived at the orphanage. He eats very little during each meal. We try to talk him into eating more, but he never listens.”
The two then shifted their gazes back toward Jamie, who was smiling apologetically at them.
The sight of his smile stabbed at Roxanne’s heart like a knife. Not wanting to press on any further, she sat down beside the bed and took Jamie’s pulse again.
Having found a direction to go in, Roxanne was soon able to determine the cause of his medical condition.
Jamie had been skipping meals very often before he arrived at the orphanage. That caused a lot of issues for his digestive system.
Although he was able to have proper meals after arriving at the orphanage, Jamie’s appetite had been greatly reduced by the discomfort from his stomach.
As time went by, his condition grew worse and worse. Eventually, his body reached its limits, which led to the condition he was currently in.
Roxanne’s eyes teared up a little at the thought of what Jamie must have gone through.
“Well? Did you manage to find out the cause of his condition?” Jack asked solemnly.
Roxanne stood up and nodded at them as she said, “I’ll prescribe him some medication.”
Jack immediately had someone fetch her a pen and a piece of paper.
With a frown on her face, Roxanne began scribbling down the prescription.
Jamie isn’t just suffering from gastrointestinal disease. He has also developed anorexia over time. If I don’t treat that issue first, it won’t be long before his gastrointestinal problems come back even worse than before. Jamie is still a kid, so I can’t prescribe him anything too potent either.
With all those problems in mind, Roxanne couldn’t help but wonder if her prescription would be okay for Jamie.
Having noticed her conflicted expression, Jack stepped forward and asked, “What’s the problem?”
Roxanne looked up at him and told him about her concerns.
Being the heir to the Damaris family, Jack was a lot more knowledgeable than Roxanne when it came to medicine.
After taking her concerns into consideration, Jack provided her with some suggestions and even modified some of her prescriptions.
In just a matter of minutes, the two came up with the perfect prescription for Jamie. They handed it over to the director of the orphanage and had him prepare the medication.
