Chapter 64
Shane furrowed his eyebrows slightly as his eyes dimmed.
The kids were whispering to each other. Suddenly, Connor grimaced in pain as he clutched his stomach and vomited.
“Connor!” Sharon was just beside Connor, and it shocked her when she saw her brother vomiting.
Natalie turned to look at her son, and she was shocked. She inched closer to Connor with an anxious expression, and her voice was trembling. “Baby, are you okay?”
Connor didn’t reply and continued to vomit.
Shane walked toward them and crouched down in front of Connor with a tensed look. Touching Connor’s face and forehead, he lowered his voice. “His body is cold, and he’s breaking out in cold sweat. We must take him to the hospital now.”
Shane carried Connor in his arms without hesitation and dashed to the lift.
Natalie saw that and quickly dragged Sharon to catch up with them.
Sharon sobbed. “Mommy, will Connor be okay?”
“Of course. Your brother is a superman. He will be okay.” Natalie forced herself to smile in a bid to comfort her daughter, but the worry in her eyes was painfully clear.
On the way to the hospital, Connor stopped vomiting, but he was trembling.
As his trembling intensified, Natalie was worried he would bite his tongue, so she quickly took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Mr. Shane!” Natalie hugged Connor tightly and screamed at Shane, begging for his help while her eyes were red with tears.
“I got this.” Shane took a glance in the rearview mirror and focused his eyes on the road. Gripping the steering wheel tightly, he pressed down hard onto the accelerator.
Soon, they reached the hospital.
Connor was sent to the emergency room, while Natalie and Sharon waited nervously outside the room.
After registering Connor’s name at the counter, Shane came to her and waited patiently. “Don’t worry. Connor will be fine.”
Natalie shook her head as she sobbed. “How can I not worry about him? Connor has never been ill before. But now he’s ill. I…”
She choked up before she could finish her sentence. Squatting on the ground, she started crying her heart out.
Looking at her mother’s pained expression, Sharon cried together with her.
Shane’s heart felt tight after seeing the mother and daughter cried together in front of him.
Just when he was going to comfort the duo, the light outside the emergency room went off suddenly.
Shane squinted his eyes and went up to the doctor. He asked in a low voice, “How is the kid?”
“Doctor, is my son alright?” Natalie immediately stood up and wiped her tears while she dashed toward the doctor.
“He’s fine now.” The doctor took off his face mask.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Natalie broke into a smile while Shane’s knitted eyebrows finally relaxed.
After hearing the good news, Sharon jumped up happily.
“Doctor, what is wrong with my son?” Natalie wanted to find out what illness was Connor suffering from. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“Acute gastritis. As his parents, you guys will have to be mindful of this.” With that, the doctor walked past them.
“Gastritis… But how did he get gastritis?” Natalie was confused, as she had always been mindful of the food she gave her kids.
“I’ll ask the nurse at the laboratory.” Shane patted on her shoulders.
After he left, Connor was sent to a general ward.
Sharon was tired from all the crying, and she fell asleep. Natalie laid her down beside Connor on the bed.
She sat on the sofa while staring at the hospital beds and the figures of her kids sleeping soundly, overwhelmed with guilt.
A few hours ago, she had noticed Connor’s pale expression. However, she thought it was because of the light.
I have failed as a mother!
While she was deep in her thoughts, the door suddenly opened. Shane walked into the room and handed her a report. “Connor’s gastritis was triggered by seafood.”
“Seafood? I never fed him seafood.” Natalie froze for a while and frowned.
