My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1459

Hearing such a young child speak that way, Vanessa and Winnie, who had been taking care of Lawrie, were overwhelmed with emotion. While Vanessa fought hard to hold back her tears, Winnie could not help but burst into tears as she asked, "Vanessa, what do we do now?"

Vanessa gritted her teeth and collected herself. She then calmly said, "Miss Ziglar, let's get Lawrie to the hospital now. Don't worry, he'll be fine."

It was not that Vanessa did not worry about Lawrie, but she had to keep a strong face regardless of how anxious she felt. Lawrie did not have a father, so she was his only family. If she collapsed, what would Lawrie do?

Winnie said anxiously, "Okay, let's take Lawrie to the hospital now."

Vanessa and Winnie took a taxi to the hospital and immediately sent him to the emergency ward. The doctor firstly found a way to break Lawrie's fever before drawing some blood and conducting a full- body examination on him. After the blood results were released, the doctor located Vanessa and asked her, "Miss Love, do you know what illness your child has?"

Vanessa nodded, biting her lips tightly. She was afraid because she knew exactly what it was. She was afraid that Lawrie would not make it this time and she would lose him forever. After getting Lawrie to the hospital, her entire being trembled in antagonizing, paralyzing fear.

The doctor explained, "Lawrie's white blood cell count is much higher than the average individual. He must have been sick for quite a while. Why did you only bring him here now?"

"When Lawrie was two, he did get treated for it and went into remission. The doctor said...." Vanessa trailed off, unable to continue. She thought Lawrie could have waited until she saved enough money, but it was clear now that this was only wishful thinking. Lawrie had spent such a long time waiting for her, yet she was still unable to get enough funds...

The doctor added, "Please get him admitted to the hospital immediately. He can't afford any more delays. The longer we wait, the harder this will be as his condition worsens. His life may even be in danger."

Hearing that Lawrie's life may be in danger, Vanessa's previously repressed emotions finally broke out of weakly erected walls. She hysterically grabbed hold of the doctor's hands and pleaded, "Doctor, you're the only one who can save him. I'll pay for any amount as long as he gets cured. Please save him, you can't give him up on him."

The doctor reassuringly patted Vanessa's hand and comforted her. "Leukemia is no longer an incurable disease. There's still a shot at curing it, though the mortality rate remains very high. In any case, Miss Love, it's best to keep yourself mentally prepared."

Vanessa screamed uncontrollably. "As I said, money is not a problem! As long as my son gets cured, it doesn't matter how much money it costs."

Doctors had grown used to seeing families lose their senses. He calmly said, "Miss Love, it's not about the money. It also depends on factors like his condition and the after-treatment process. Moreover, this isn't the best hospital in Chatterton Town. So, what we can do here is rather limited. If you're able to afford it, I'd advise you to get him transferred over to Rovio's Hospital. It's the best private hospital in town and they've got top-of-the-line medical equipment and experienced doctors. With their help, the success rate of getting Lawrie cured is much higher. Of course, treatment there will most likely cost no less than a few million dollars."

Millions of dollars?

What Vanessa had in her current savings now did not even reach the one million mark.

This year, she did not dare use the money that Julien had given her, and tried her best to save from what she earned at work. As hard as she tried, she was still miles away from a million dollars.

Where would she get millions of dollars from? However, in order to give Lawrie the best possible treatment, she had to find a way somehow, even if it meant asking Julien for help.

She said, "Okay."

Winnie hugged Vanessa, who was on the verge of collapsing and said, "Vanessa, Lawrie is fine for the time being. Let's just get him admitted first. Only then would the doctors be able to properly treat him."

"Okay. Let's get that settled first." Vanessa wanted to go and get Lawrie's admission procedure done, but she was too weak to even take a single step. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"Vanessa," said Winnie, "Why don't you sit down? I'll handle it."

Vanessa shook her head and stood up straight, gritting her teeth. "Miss Ziglar, you should go back and rest. I'll take care of Lawrie tonight. I'll need you to look out for him tomorrow since I've got work."

Vanessa had no one to rely on. She had no other choice but to rely on herself. Even if she had run out of strength, she still had to endure it one way or another.

Winnie said with distress, "Vanessa...."

Vanessa tried hard to put on a relaxed smile. "Miss Ziglar, Lawrie will have to be hospitalized for quite some time. I'd have to trouble you in the future. Please go home first, you'd need to help take care of Lawrie for me during the day."

What Vanessa said made sense. One could not take care of Lawrie day and night. They must take turns to do so. "Vanessa, can you really do it today? Why don't we both take care of Lawrie tonight?"

Vanessa nodded firmly and said, "For Lawrie, there is nothing I can't do."

For the last three years, even when she was penniless with Lawrie, she had managed to survive. She had some savings now, so she would definitely help Lawrie get better, cured and healthy.

Just as Vanessa was arranging for Lawrie to be admitted, Queenie, who was from the Company Secretarial Department in Rovio, was also coincidentally in the hospital. When she spotted Vanessa, Queenie began to walk over to greet her. However, she heard the nurse speak to Vanessa about her child, named Lawrie! Queenie immediately stopped, feeling shocked.

She had a child?!

How could it be? That Vanessa had a child?!

As she pondered about this, Queenie's mind was in a frenzy.

The President of Rovio had just announced that Vanessa was his fiancee this afternoon. If Vanessa was already a mother, it would be impossible for Vanessa to become part of the exclusive Kyle family!

Thanks to Vanessa, Queenie had suffered immensely at work. With this newfound information, Queenie knew she must not act impulsively. She must get her hands on solid evidence first before exposing Vanessa's true colours. Otherwise, Vanessa may end up framing Queenie instead and she would find herself leaving Rovio, instead of Vanessa.

After completing the hospitalization procedures, Vanessa returned to Lawrie's ward. The doctor came by to explain a few things Lawrie needed to pay attention to. As he was suffering from a fever, some other physical complications which may be more intolerable than the fever he was having now may follow.

"Doctor, my apologies for the trouble tonight. Thank you so much!" Vanessa turned to look back at Lawrie, who laid very still in bed, face pale and white as a ghost. Lawrie's breathing was weak and shallow, as if he could leave her at any time. Vanessa felt a suffocating pain, looking at her baby in that state...

At times when she saw Lawrie looking so weak, Vanessa would wonder... Perhaps, if she had not insisted on finding the criminal who defiled her, and if she had not insisted on giving birth to Lawrie, then her son would not have to suffer this way.
