I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 594 Did They Give Him Any Medicine?

A dozen doctors took turns examining the child in the ward and gathered together to discuss his condition fervently. Meanwhile, the child was resting his head on Aidan's shoulder quietly as he blinked his eyes weakly while looking at the doctors.

A few minutes later, the chief physician came over and reported, "Mr. Pearson, we had a meeting last night about your son's case and did some research on the suspected disease according to the symptoms he is exhibiting. As a result, we can confirm that this child's illness is definitely not congenital or caused by any viruses. Instead, there is a high possibility that it was caused by medication administered to him. Moreover, this medication has probably been in his body for a long time, which is why it is so severe when it finally erupts."

The doctor continued after seeing Aidan remained silent, "However, the child is exhibiting multiple symptoms concurrently, and there are many medications that could have caused any one of these symptoms. Not to mention that the number of possible drugs causing the symptoms is countless because the child displays numerous symptoms. After our discussion, we need to know exactly what medication he has taken that has caused him to be in this state in order to develop a suitable treatment plan."

Aidan thought that the most pressing issue was not about ascertaining the medication. So, he asked, "Is there a way to alleviate his current symptoms?"

The doctor replied, "We are still conducting further tests regarding the rash on his body. Until then, we advise against using any medications to avoid aggravating the situation. Someone needs to watch him at all times to prevent him from scratching himself."

Aidan nodded. "I understand."

The doctor continued, "We will keep looking for a solution on this matter. I promise we will come up with an effective treatment plan to ensure that the child can receive immediate care the next time he has an episode."

"Thank you."

Aidan opened the door after the doctors all left, only to see Leanna standing at the door as still as a statue with a pale face. Although he was not surprised to see her there, he paused momentarily before asking, "Did you hear everything?"

She nodded lightly and stretched out her arms, saying, "Give him to me." He handed the child to her, and the child made a few uncomfortable grunts in protest during the transfer. Still, once he was in his mom's arms, he closed his bleary eyes.

Leanna looked at her child and asked without looking up, "Can he drink milk?"

"He can, but there's a chance he'll throw up."

"I'll try," she murmured and returned to the ward.

Aidan watched them enter the ward and stood there for a few seconds before leaving the hospital.

Zoe was already waiting in the ward when Leanna and Aidan were talking outside. She brought some stuff for Leanna and her child. She was at the hospital for her prenatal examination when the child fell ill last night. So, she only heard about the incident from Maya after returning home. She tried calling Leanna several times but to no avail. Finally, Daniel said that Leanna might be too busy to answer calls at that moment and advised Zoe to visit them this morning.

So, when she saw Leanna carrying her child in her arms, she rose to her feet immediately. "Nana, how is he?"

Leanna shook her head in despair. "Zoe, can you help me boil some water? He hasn't eaten anything since last night."

Zoe nodded. "Of course! Wait a minute. I'll set things up."

Zoe poured the boiling water into a feeding bottle before immersing the bottle in a basin of cold water to cool the temperature down quickly. When the water temperature was just about right, she brought over the bottle to Leanna and asked in a low voice, "How much milk powder should I put, Nana?"

"Let's start with one scoop. I don't know if he'll be able to drink it. We can make more if he does," Leanna answered quietly.

"Okay."

Zoe mixed the milk powder into the bottle and shook it vigorously before handing it to Leanna. She watched the child start to drink from the bottle and whispered, "What happened yesterday? Maya said he was throwing up a lot. Did she feed him the wrong thing?"

"No, it was not her fault."

"Then, whose fault is it?"

Leanna glanced at her child and slowly enunciated, "I don't know either. The doctors said his symptoms are caused by medication."

"But he's a healthy child and doesn't take any medication!" As Zoe exclaimed, she suddenly realized that she had missed out on the most obvious thing. "Is it something to do with the Pearsons?"

Leanna lowered her head. "Probably."

Zoe suddenly had the urge to curse at someone; she knew the Pearsons were behind this!

Meanwhile, the child had only drunk half of the milk before pushing the bottle away and burying his head in Leanna's arms, and falling asleep. So, she placed the bottle aside but was nonetheless relieved that he finally ate something and didn't have a bad reaction to it.

Not long after, Maya also arrived and felt terrible that the child had to endure such a thing. So, she told Leanna, "I'll stay here and take care of him. Go do your own thing. Don't worry, this time I'll take good care of him. I'll call the doctor immediately if he feels uncomfortable."

However, Leanna did not want to leave his side and refused Maya's kindness. "It's alright. You can go home. I want to stay here with him for the next few days."

Maya, being someone who did not know when to back down when she should have, sat down next to Leanna. She would not take 'no' for an answer. "I'm the kind of person who keeps the end of my bargain. I will see through it no matter what it takes. I said I would help you take care of the child, and I will do it."

Zoe could not stand Maya digging her own grave as she interjected, "Stop it. Don't you realize that Leanna is doing just fine on her own?"

"I'm just—" Alas, before Maya could finish her sentence, Zoe had already dragged her out of the room.

Finally, the ward became silent once more. Leanna gently placed her child on the bed, leaned against the bedside as she closed her eyes, and let out a weary sigh.
