However, Vanessa couldn't hear what Julien was saying at all. Her entire focus was on Lawrie, who was lying on the hospital bed.
Hence, instead of asking Vanessa not to worry, Julien stayed by her side, not leaving her even for one bit.
Fortunately, after a series of resuscitation work, Lawrie slowly woke up.
"Lawrie..." Seeing that he had woken up, Vanessa immediately rushed to Lawrie's side and gently held his tiny hands in her palms. "Lawrie... Lawrie, don't scare me like this anymore, okay?"
"Mommy, don't cry!" Lawrie wanted to wipe off the tears on Vanessa's face, but he was so weak that he could not even raise his hand. He could only watch as her tears rolled down and landed on his face. "Mommy, I don't want you to be sad."
"Okay, I'll not feel sad anymore." Vanessa wiped her tears and tried to force a smile. "As long as you are fine, I will be fine. Lawrie, you must get well soon, okay?"
Lawrie softly said, "Okay."
Vanessa kissed him and said, "Let's make a pinky promise!"
Lawrie pouted. "Mommy, you're so childish." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Vanessa said, "As long as my baby can get better, I'm not afraid of being childish."
Vanessa was afraid that Lawrie would give up on treatment, so she had to use such a childish way to make Lawrie pull through it.
At the same time, Julien was enquiring about Lawrie's condition. He wanted to know why Lawrie had gone unconscious suddenly.
A few minutes ago, Lawrie was still shouting at him. Moreover, he and Vanessa had only been away for a while but Lawrie had already passed out. What actually happened during this short period of time?
Lawrie's attending doctor, Dr. Ashleigh, explained, "Mr. Kyle, Lawrie's condition has been under control, so we believe that he did not pass out because his condition has worsened. If I'm not wrong, it should be because of some psychological issues."
Julien said, "He's just a kid. What sort of psychological issue would he have?"
Ashleigh said, "Yes, logically speaking, such a young child wouldn't have any psychological issues, but when we were treating him a while ago, I noticed that he would keep frowning, as if he was afraid of something."
Julien asked, "What would a young child like him be afraid of?"
Ashleigh continued, "When I was treating Lawrie the last couple days, I noticed that he was very different from other children. Children his age would usually cry and make a fuss so that the whole world would know that they were not well. But for Lawrie's case, he would always endure the pain without uttering any complaints. His behaviour was nothing like a three year-old child would have at all. He was too sensible that it felt like something was wrong."
Julien asked, "What do you mean?"
Ashleigh answered, "Many people may think that it's good for children to be more sensible than their peers, but that's not the case at all. Instead, they should behave according to their natural
instincts. Children who are sensible at a young age are usually caused by external factors. It's very unlikely that they were naturally born like this."
Julien could relate to it. He had always been sensible since he was young. Everyone would praise him when he showed more maturity and wisdom than his peers. Because of that, everyone began to think that it was normal for him to act this way.
Most of the time, his family would neglect Julien because he was such a sensible child. On the other hand, Levi, the troublemaker, would often get everyone's attention.
Julien could not agree much that it was indeed not a good thing for a child to behave so sensibly at such a young age. "What can we do to help him then?"
Ashleigh suggested, "Mr. Kyle, I suggest you get a child psychiatrist to talk to Lawrie."
In fact, it was not a difficult task for Julien to hire a psychiatrist to treat Lawrie. However, he could only go on with it if Vanessa actually believed that Lawrie needed one.
Julien waved his hand and said, "You can leave now."
Julien went over to Vanessa and conveyed the doctor's advice.
After listening to Julien, Vanessa realized how serious the matter was. In fact, Vanessa could vaguely tell that there was something wrong with Lawrie. However, she was too busy making money so she did not pay much attention to it.
Vanessa was somewhat anxious. She said, "I'll look for a child psychiatrist to talk to him... So he wouldn't continue to live in fear of losing me."
Julien gave Vanessa a stern look and said, "What kind of a mother are you, Vanessa?"
"It's none of your business." Vanessa admitted that she was not a qualified mother, but her guilt and self-blame were all toward Lawrie. No one else had the right to criticize her. That was the reason why she was being this hostile towards Julien.
Julien's face darkened.
Vanessa understood that Julien had done her a big favor. He was Lawrie's lifesaver after all, so no matter how angry she was, she should not have snapped at him. However, besides him, she did not know who she could vent her anger at.
Even though her relationship with Julien was somewhat ambiguous, deep down, she still trusted him and relied on him.
Vanessa bit her lip and apologised, "I'm sorry!
I shouldn't have snapped at you."
Julien couldn't bear to blame her, so he said, "I'll take care of the psychiatrist. You don't have to worry about anything else. Just stay here and take care of Lawrie."
Vanessa nodded. "Thank you!"
Julien was an efficient person. While Vanessa was still thinking about which psychiatrist she should go to, the psychiatrist that Julien had hired had already shown up at Lawrie's ward the next day.
Vanessa was about to feed Lawrie when she heard that someone was knocking on the door. She opened the door and saw that there was a beautiful, graceful young lady standing at the door. At the instant, the first thing that came into Vanessa's mind was that this woman was Julien's actual girlfriend.
Vanessa was lost in her thoughts as she sized the woman up. Suddenly, she heard the woman say, "Hi, are you Miss Vanessa Love?" "Yes, I am." Vanessa nodded awkwardly. "May I ask who you are?"
The woman smiled and introduced herself graciously, "I'm Joey Zachary. I'm a child psychiatrist. Mr. Kyle asked me to come here."
