One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 492

Chapter 492 Let’s Keep Him Under Our Care, Alright?

In the hospital, as the nurse came over to register the patient’s details, five-year-old little Josephine spoke up in a childish but insistent voice. She confirmed the patient’s name with the nurse. “Jimmy. J for jam.”

She hesitated between ‘Timmy’ and ‘Jimmy’ for a moment, but shortly after that, she decisively chose the name that she preferred out of the two.

Once the operation was over, Jimmy was wheeled out of the operation theater and back to the wards. He looked quite weak and his face was still as pale as a white sheet. The doctor explained his condition to Courtney, who was waiting patiently outside. “It wasn’t a case of poisoning. He merely had an allergic reaction to chocolate, and we’ve already cleared the remains of chocolate from his stomach. However, there is something that we find quite surprising—”

“What is it?”

The doctor hesitated for a moment before speaking up with a complicated look on his face, saying, “Besides chocolate, we also found plasticware and foreign objects like clothes in his stomach. It’s quite fortunate that we did this surgery; otherwise, the accumulation of these items in his stomach over time would be disastrous.”

 

As soon as Courtney heard that, she frowned slightly and turned to look at the child, who had deathly pale lips.

“How’s he doing now?”

 

“He’s no longer in a critical condition, but we still have to monitor him because it’s quite serious. The nurse will pop in to place a drip on him, and he will need to stay in the hospital at least for the next three days.”

She nodded in response and sat down by Jimmy’s side. As for Josephine, she clambered up on Courtney’s body upon seeing Courtney seated in the chair and clung to Courtney’s neck while looking in the same direction at the kid on the bed.

“Does this mean that Jimmy wasn’t adopted by a kind couple? He might have sneaked out by himself then.”

Josephine came to that conclusion as she spoke in a childish voice. Just then, Courtney glanced at her, and there was a pained look that flashed across Courtney’s eyes.

“Do you mean that he’s been mistreated, so he sneaked out?”

However, Josephine smacked Courtney’s forehead in disagreement. “Mommy, you’re so silly!”

“Josephine! What do you mean by that—” Courtney clenched her teeth and forcefully came up with these words.
