“Daddy, you can count on me to get the job done!” Jamie announced with his chest held high, assuring his father he would get everything sorted out.
“Great! Once you’re there, just tell him Robbie has slept off after spending the entire day sorting out the system on my behalf. If he inquires the whereabouts of Ellie, tell him Ellie isn’t available because she isn’t feeling well.”
Jamie responded with a nod and assured his father, “Alright, Daddy! I’ll keep that in mind! You can count on me!”
“It’s getting cold out there. Make sure you have your jacket with you and put on your mask once you’re inside the ward. I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“I’m well aware of the things I’m supposed to do, Daddy! If you’re tired, just go ahead and take a short nap when we’re not around! You need to take good care of yourself as well!”
Zachary was touched by his son’s reminder. He had always thought that Jamie was rather indifferent, but he was wrong…
A few minutes later, Jamie made his way out of the little’s girl ward with Ben.
Meanwhile, Raina was in the middle of a discussion with the rest of the pediatricians since they were in desperate need of an alternative treatment plan for the little girl.
Zachary was there throughout the session. Thus, they were on pins and needles due to the presence of the intimidating figure.
Thankfully, Ellie’s temperature was fine again after a series of treatments. Those in the ward, including Zachary, heaved a sigh of relief since Ellie’s life was no longer in danger.
When Zachary was about to leave, those in the ward started shrieking the moment he was a step away from the ward, “D-Dr, Langhan!”
Zachary turned around and saw Ellie retching and convulsing again.
“Ellie!” Zachary rushed to his daughter’s side and yelled, “What’s going on? Someone! Anyone! Answer me!”
Raina finally returned to the ward with the pediatricians. They were equally dumbfounded and astonished when they saw the little girl convulsing in Zachary’s arms.
The anxious Raina announced, “Mr. Nacht, you need to stay away from her and leave the rest to us!”
The infuriated Zachary warned, “If anything happens to my daughter, I’ll send all of you to hell to keep her company!”
The pediatricians in the ward started trembling in fear. One of them felt her knees turning to jelly and collapsed to the ground as a result of the man’s warning.
Raina knew she couldn’t afford to let loose of her emotions. She put on a strong front and asserted, “As infuriated as you might be, you need to let us tend to her!”
It was then the infuriated man inched away from his daughter and stood next to her throughout the upcoming session.
Ellie’s hands were full of needles; as a result, the doctors started prickling the little girl’s forehead with needles since they had run out of places to prick her.
Zachary’s hands had long balled into fists, indicating he was infuriated as little Ellie had never gone through anything of that sort in spite of being relatively weak as compared to her peers.
One of them suggested, “We need to rush her to the ICU at once!”
Zachary started trembling in fear when he thought of the things awaiting him and his daughter. He gaped at the announcement and asked, “Come again?”
Bruce rushed over and stopped Zachary from going berserk and throwing punches at the innocent doctors. “Mr. Nacht, you need to calm down!”
Raina started weeping and begged, “Mr. Nacht, we need to rush her to the ICU at once for her sake! If anything happens to her, I’ll atone for the sins with my life, but we need you to have faith in us for the time being!”
Out of nowhere, another man announced at the top of his lungs, “Hurry up and get everything ready!”
Jamie had returned with Spencer next to him. It turned out Spencer had figured out the truth after sweet-talking Jamie. He was surprised when he found out things were much worse than he had thought the moment he reached Kindness Hospital.
“Ellie!”
Torrents of grief had long streamed down Jamie’s cheeks, but he was afraid of startling others and making things worse for Ellie.
Thus, he resisted the urge to wail and ended up shivering against his will.
“Just get going!” Ben gestured at the doctors in the ward to take Ellie out to the ICU.
Zachary, who was on the verge of breaking down, threw a powerful punch in the wall. Along with the thundering sound was a slight shake in the room.
