Chapter 86: Miss Woodham's Trouble

Meanwhile, Shonna had been taking the medicine prescribed by Amber for three days, yet her condition was deteriorating. She suffered from relentless high fever, extreme weakness, and even bouts of vomiting and diarrhea. Mrs. Fanning and Beatrice were beside themselves with worry. After the family doctor administered antipyretic medication to Beatrice, Mrs. Fanning anxiously inquired, "Dr. Lyon, how is Shonna doing? Will her fever subside?"

"Miss Woodham's situation is not promising," Dr. Lyon said gravely, "She has been experiencing continuous high fever for these three days. Normally, after the fever breaks, it should not recur so quickly. But after taking the medicine, her fever returns within just seven or eight hours. Today, the antipyretic drugs are no longer effective on her."

Dr. Lyon continued, his expression serious, "Additionally, her vomiting and diarrhea are relentless. If this continues, I fear for Miss Woodham's life. I recommend we send her to the hospital."

"But Miss Reed said that this condition is normal, indicating that the toxins in Shonna's body are being expelled. She advised us to reduce the fever first, and only then apply the medicated ointment, which is crucial for treating Shonna's face," Beatrice said, glancing worriedly at the frail Shonna in bed. She knew what healing her face meant to Shonna.

Throughout these disfiguring days, Shonna endured endless humiliation, akin to a walking corpse. Beatrice could not bear to see her daughter live like that.

"What is the time for if not to worry about this?" Mrs. Fanning retorted sharply, "Saving Shonna's life is what's most important. I suspect that Amber Reed is not a legitimate doctor. She doesn't even have a medical license. How can she treat anyone? We might have all been deceived by her."

"That's not possible," Beatrice countered. "Many people were there that day, all saying Amber healed Sophia's face. Mother, I want to try. As you know, Shonna might as well be dead the way she's living now. Only if her face heals can she be happy. Let's wait a bit longer and see if the fever subsides. If it doesn't, we'll ask Amber to come."

In fact, Beatrice had called Amber several times over the past two days. At first, Amber patiently explained that the fever was a normal part of the detoxification, but later she became impatient and stopped answering calls altogether. This frustrated Beatrice, but for her daughter's illness, she endured.

Now, at this critical juncture, she truly didn't want to give up.

"You're being foolish!" Mrs. Fanning exclaimed angrily. "Shonna is in this state, and you're still waiting for Amber? Do you want to be happy only if she dies?"
