It was like the eerie calm before a storm. Nathan felt deeply in pain, but he worried that if he couldn't
keep his emotions in check, Mandy would panic even more. At the thought of this, he willed himself to
calm down.
"This afternoon, Miss Yu and I took the kids to play football on the field. Adrian fell when he was
running," the teacher explained, averting her eyes from Nathan's hostile gaze.
"A scraped knee isn't a main artery. Normally, people wouldn't bleed nonstop after getting injured like
this. However, Adrian has been bleeding for a long time. It's very unusual." Mandy frowned tightly. She
remembered that when Adrian was brought here, the gauze on his knee was drenched in blood.
Mandy was distressed at the thought of this. She had always pitied Adrian, who was born with a
congenital heart disease. He would have to endure more pain again. It felt like a knife had pierced into
her heart.
Even Cassie pitied Adrian. 'What a poor boy! He'll be blessed if he can surpass this. He must be a
lucky boy in the future, ' she thought.
Two hours later, the doors of the operation room finally opened. Three doctors dressed in green
surgical uniforms came out, all of their faces covered in sweat. They looked exhausted, including
Angelina. Their faces looked terrible.
After emergency treatment, Adrian's condition had stabilized, and his knee was no longer bleeding.
Doctor Chen was sweating profusely and removed his face mask. He had a test report in one had.
They had just completed the most comprehensive physical examination for Adrian. He had already
finished reading the report.
Something was wrong with his blood test. There was a considerable number of bacteria found in his
blood.
At the sight of the report, Angelina furrowed her brows. Her frown made her look worse.
"Doctor, how is my son?" Mandy walked up to them anxiously. Judging by the heavy expressions on
their faces, it seemed that something bad had happened to Adrian.
Suddenly, her heart felt like it stopped beating, and her breathing became heavy.
"We have just finished examining the child in detail. There is something suspicious about the blood test
results. Many parameters are not within the normal range. It seems that he could be suffering from
leukemia."
"What did you say? Leukemia? How is this possible? Don't talk nonsense!" Nathan lost his patience
immediately after hearing their diagnosis. He rushed over and grabbed the doctor by the collar, staring
at him fiercely.
The doctor looked terrified. He was panicked by Nathan's sudden outburst. It was difficult to breathe as
Nathan gripped his collar.
"Nathan, let the doctor go! Doctor Chen, please go on." With trembling hands, Mandy stepped forward
to pull Nathan away.
"Mr. Jin, please collect yourself. Nothing is confirmed yet. We just took samples, and the results will
come out in a week," Angelina explained with worried eyes.
She also had a child. It pained her to see such a lovely child laying on the operating bed.
With red eyes, Nathan said in a malicious voice, "I don't want to hear those answers! Give me a clear
answer!"
"The exact answer will come out in one week's time," Doctor Chen explained cautiously, not daring to
stare Nathan in the eyes.
"Useless! Is this all you can do?" Nathan clenched his teeth in anger. He was so worried about Adrian
that he felt like he was losing control of himself.
"Don't say that, Nathan. They're trying their best to save lives. This doesn't mean that they're
omnipotent. Some conditions can be determined now, but some can only be determined after many
tests." Mandy's head ached. She took a deep breath to gather herself.
Nathan turned back to look at Mandy. Her words soothed him, but his handsome face remained tense.
"Doctor Chen, what is the possibility of Adrian having leukemia?" Mandy asked calmly. After three
years, she felt like she was a doctor again. The most important thing for a doctor was to keep calm and
composed in these situations.
If she couldn't calm herself, how would she be able to save lives and treat patients?
Doctors had to be able to withstand high volumes of stress.
There was no room for anxiety. It was important to have a clear mind.
"Seventy percent. According to the preliminary test, his conditions are similar to leukemia. However,
this doesn't mean that it is leukemia. There is a thirty percent margin for error," Doctor Chen explained
with worry on his face.
Mandy frowned slightly as she listened to Doctor Chen. She suddenly remembered Eve. She had taken
Adrian out, and when they came back, there was a needle hole in his arm. Was it possible that she had
injected something into him?
"Could it be possible that someone injected the bacteria or the viruses into the child's body?" Mandy
asked after giving it more thought.
"You think so? Who would be so cruel?" Angelina asked, her voice trembling in anger.
The people outside the waiting room looked at each other in confusion. They all turned to Mandy.
Mandy hesitated to reveal her suspicions. After all, it was just her guess, and she had no evidence to
prove it. What if Eve didn't do it? Wouldn't she seem like a joke?
"It's not impossible. If that's the case, we should pay extra attention to the possibility of a blood born
bacterial infection." Doctor Chen straightened his glasses and looked at Mandy with his wise eyes.
"Anyway, thank you so much for treating Adrian," Mandy said in a polite tone.
"It's nothing." Doctor Chen smiled with satisfaction and exhaustion.
The teacher had remained silent for a long time. Finally, she stepped in front of Nathan and Mandy and
apologized. "It's all my fault. I failed to take care of the child. If I didn't allow him to run, he wouldn't
have fallen. I shouldn't have been so careless," she said.
