Chapter 470: You Don’t Even Know This
Seeing the scene before them, the hearts of the four sank.
Dennis, in a panic, let go of the little one in his hands and quickly walked over.
The child on the ground was clearly frightened, triggering an extreme reaction.
According to their diagnosis, this child’s constitution was very special. When frightened, it would trigger severe pain reactions. To be honest, this was the first time they had encountered such a case.
Dennis had just wanted to try a different method to speed up the free clinic process but didn’t expect to scare the little one.
Seeing the child in such pain, the expressions of the four were quite grim.
Olivia was the first to react. Suppressing her inner panic, she stood up and began to disperse the other children. “Don’t be afraid, everyone. We’re going to treat Charlie now. Can you wait outside?”
The children didn’t want to leave Charlie’s side.
A little girl choked out, “Charlie… he used to be like this too, but after a while, he would get better on his own. We need to wait for him to get better.”
Hearing this, Olivia felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Such pain, how had the little one endured it before?
The children were clearly not going to leave easily, so Olivia turned back to Harold for help.
Harold understood and carefully picked up the little one, placing him on the hospital bed.
The child was already in so much pain that he had almost lost consciousness. He had been curled up like a shrimp but now couldn’t even clench his hands, lying flat on the bed.
Seeing the child’s condition, the four were at a loss.
They hadn’t had time to study the child’s illness, and now there was no time for hesitation.
Cold sweat even appeared on Dennis’s forehead.
Ultimately, it was his recklessness that had caused the child to end up like this.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
If something really happened to this child, his reputation would be ruined.
Thinking of this, Dennis wiped his sweat and walked to the bedside, gritting his teeth as he took the child’s pulse.
Before Olivia and the others could react, they saw Dennis already grabbing acupuncture tools from the side, preparing to disinfect them.
Seeing this, Olivia asked uneasily, “Dr. Dennis, do you know how to treat him?”
Dennis was already flustered and became even more irritated upon hearing her voice.
He hadn’t needed to scare the child in the first place, it was all because of this woman’s dithering. And now she dared to question him!
“If I don’t know, do you?” Dennis snapped back at her with annoyance and continued disinfecting the needles.
Seeing his face full of irritation, Olivia felt even more uneasy.
Harold and Cameron were equally suspicious and asked in a deep voice, “Based on your diagnosis, what is the child’s current condition?”
Dennis’s face stiffened as he replied stiffly, “Regardless of his condition, he’s in so much pain now. The priority is to relieve his pain!”
With that, he picked up a silver needle, preparing to perform acupuncture for pain relief on the child.
Harold and Cameron did not object to his words.
Indeed, with the child in such pain, relieving it first was not wrong.
They had been overly worried and had forgotten this basic point.
Seeing where he was about to place the needle, Olivia’s heart tightened suddenly. She instinctively spoke out to stop him, “Wait a minute! You can’t place the needle there!”
As her words fell, all three turned to look at her simultaneously.
Dennis was even more impatient. “Dr. Prescott, if you don’t understand, don’t cause trouble. This is a basic acupuncture point for pain relief. Don’t tell me you don’t even know this?”
