Chapter 910
Ellie had always been frail compared to her peers. To make things worse, she would occasionally suffer from
mesenteric lymphadenitis.
It wasn't a big deal since it was a common symptom amongst children. As long as she was mindful of her diet, it
would be fine.
The common symptom of the condition was continuous abdominal pain. On top of that, she might catch a fever
and throw up.
Raina thought it was her usual sickness. Thus, she administered the usual prescription for Ellie's conditions as she
thought she was having the same abdominal discomfort again.
Shortly after Raina thought things were fine, Ellie started throwing up again. She started retching in silence since
she had vomited the things she consumed earlier.
Ellie couldn't take it anymore. She ended up wailing in pain on the bed.
Raina got in touch with Ben and told him they had to rush Ellie to the hospital since nothing she had in store for the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlittle girl could work.
Once Bruce brought them to the hospital, Raina rushed Ellie to the emergency department and acquired the doctor
to carry a series of examinations to determine the actual cause of pain.
After a series of examinations and blood tests, the doctor thought it was acute gastroenteritis triggered by the food
she took.
Raina opted for intravenous therapy to keep Ellie hydrated. Jamie, who had been staying next to them, was
concerned because of his sister's condition.
Initially, Raina thought of sending Jamie home in fear of him being infected. However, he made himself clear he
wouldn't leave his sister alone.
He mentioned it was his duty as the little girl's elder brother since their eldest brother wasn't around to keep them
safe.
Zachary finally showed up at the hospital at ten o'clock at night. Tidal waves of emotions came flooding out when
he saw his little girl with a cooling patch on her forehead being pricked by needles for the therapy.
When Jamie saw Zachary, he launched himself in his father's direction and sniffled, “Daddy, hurry up and check on
Ellie! S-She's in such a poor state!”
“It's going to be fine! Since it's just acute gastroenteritis, Ellie's going to be fine in no time!” Zachary leaned over
and assured his son it wasn't a big deal.
A few seconds later, he approached his daughter and placed his hand on her forehead. He was surprised to find out
her forehead was scorching hot. “What's going on? Why is she still having such a high fever?”
“There's something odd with her condition! I have already acquired the aid of another few pediatricians to check on
her!”
Raina had never encountered such an ambiguous situation throughout the years. She had conducted all sorts of
examinations to figure out Ellie's problem, but none of the treatment alternatives she had in store for the little girl
worked.
“I don't want to know the reason! Just make sure she's fine in no time!”
After having a long day, Zachary couldn't suppress his emotions anymore. To make things worse, his daughter was
in a bad shape.
Startled, Raina announced, “I'm so sorry, Mr. Nacht! I'll consult the rest of the pediatricians and come up with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanother treatment plan for her immediately!”
Zachary suppressed his wrath and mentioned, “Just go on!”
“Yes!”
Ben and Bruce were equally worried after seeing Ellie's condition.
It was then Spencer got in touch with Zachary and asked if he could bring the little ones to visit Henry soon.
Spencer told Zachary his grandfather had been anticipating the little ones' arrival ever since a few hours ago.
Spencer was afraid Henry might not make it through as he refused to finish his meal because the children were
nowhere to be seen.
Zachary's mind was all over the place when he heard Spencer. He started massaging his temples and announced,
“I'm still in the middle of something. I'll get Ben to bring Jamie over soon.”
Spencer had a bad feeling about it. He asked, “What about Robbie and Ellie? Is everything fine?”
“Robbie has fallen asleep while Ellie isn't feeling well after catching a cold. I'll send Jamie over since he's the only
one who's wide awake.”
“If that's the case, I'll wait for you downstairs.” Spencer had no intention to poke his nose into Zachary's business.
Shortly after he hung up his call, he grasped Jamie's hand and whispered, “Jamie, can you do me a favor and keep
your great-grandfather company since Robbie and Ellie aren't around?”
