Ex-husband’s Regret

Alana glanced over, then picked up the child and said to Frank, "The child will catch a cold sleeping like this. I'll stay in the nearby ward. Call me if you need anything." Frank nodded.

Alana understood his feelings right now but couldn't comprehend why they had to endure so much hardship.

How could this suffering never end?

Now the unborn child was also suffering.

She hoped the good luck charms she sincerely prayed for could protect them.

"Give me the child to me."

On the way back, Alex was left behind at an intersection by her.

He had originally planned to take a shortcut but didn't expect to get stuck in a traffic jam.

He was much slower and had just arrived.

Alana sidestepped his outstretched hand and entered the ward.

She placed Danny down, took off her shoes and coat, and covered him with a blanket. Then she sat down beside him.

Alex said, "You should sleep with the child for a while. I'll call you if there's anything." Alana remained silent.

Jane returned to the front of the emergency room and noticed Frank's condition was off.

He was leaning against the wall, his back slightly bent, head drooping, and his body swaying.

Before she could take a closer look, as she approached, Frank collapsed to the ground.

She quickly reached out to grab him but missed.

Just as he was about to hit the floor, Zachary arrived and caught him.

"He's burning up!"

Zachary pulled one of Frank's arms over his shoulder and checked his temperature. "Go get a wheelchair."

Jane hurried off, and Zachary helped Frank into the ward, calling for an emergency doctor.

"The high fever is caused by an infected wound. This must be taken seriously. Start an IV to reduce the fever and fight the infection. Don't leave him alone tonight. If the fever persists, it could be very dangerous." Zachary understood the seriousness.

The burns hadn't healed yet, and they had been on the go for two days.

He really shouldn't have been wearing clothes, they needed to clean and dress the wounds in time.

He even got caught in the rain today.

He understood, but no matter what, the people who were alive had to take care of themselves. They couldn't neglect their health.

"I understand."

Before leaving the ward, the doctor reminded, "Call me immediately if anything happens."

Zachary nodded in response.

He said to Jane, "You go to the emergency room. If Prof. Kilburn comes out, ask him about Charlotte's condition. If there's nothing urgent, he should come see Frank."

Jane nodded and returned to the emergency room.

Just then, Prof. Kilburn came out, and she asked, "How is Charlotte?"

Not seeing Frank, Prof. Kilburn already knew what was happening.

"There's no problem for now. We'll move her to the ward shortly. Dr. Travis will handle the follow-up

treatment."

"But, as I said, if the patient cannot come to terms with it and remains depressed, nothing can save her. Given her current condition, it's not suitable to keep using medication anyway." Jane nodded. "Please go see Frank, he has a high fever."

Prof. Kilburn showed no surprise, with all this turmoil, it was a miracle he didn't have a fever.

When I woke up again, the blinding white light met my eyes.

I closed them again, slowly opening a slit until I adjusted and could fully open them.

"Charlotte, you're awake!"

Jane was very excited. "Do you feel any discomfort? I'll go call Dr. Travis to check on you!"

I didn't have a chance to speak before she rushed out.

Dr. Travis was next door, treating Frank.

"Dr. Travis, Charlotte is awake."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

While treating Frank, Dr. Travis asked, "How does she look?"

Jane didn't have time to look closely and forgot to wait for a response from Charlotte.

"I'll go check again."

With that, she rushed next door.
