Chapter 244
Tommy was clearly uncomfortable in Irene’s hold. He
was flailing his arms around, and was choking with tears from time to time, but not crying out loud. It
was obvious
that he was sick.
Irene kissed his cheek, her heart aching for him. “When did you notice that he was sick?”
“Before I called you,” Sheryl replied.
Irene nodded–all they could do is wait for the test
results.
In the meantime, Irene took Tommy to someplace quiet, hoping that he would be more comfortable with
less people around.
However, that didn’t seem to make things better for Tommy–he soon began to cry. Too young to put
feelings to words, it was the only thing he could do.
Knowing that he was in a bad condition, Irene told Sheryl, “I’ll get him checked. Wait here for the lab
results.”
Sheryl nodded. “Okay. Go on.”
Irene brought Tommy to the outpatient service–the
only option left for her was to examine any possible cause
of discomfort.
While she waited, the lab results were soon out, and
Sheryl rushed to Irene with it.
Irene took a look and scowled, because she knew what it
meant.
“Let me see,” the doctor said, and Irene gave it to him. “I see… There’s this compound called 2S,6R
detected in the boy’s body. It’s what causes his convulsions.”
Sheryl didn’t understand what he was saying, however, and pressed, “What’s that, doctor? How did he
get sick?”
“He’s not sick,” the doctor replied. “This chemical compound has to be ingested-”
“What?!” Sheryl exclaimed in shock and confusion. ”
Tommy never took anything! Why would it be in his body?

“I’m sorry, but it has to be ingested, and it’s not a
commonly found compound. Perhaps someone
mistakenly gave it to him.”
Sheryl tried to argue, but Irene cut her short. “Mom, has
anyone visited our home recently?”
Sheryl thought about it and replied, “No. It’s just you,
Isaac, and Ricky.”
There was no way Irene or Isaac would hurt their own
child. Sheryl wouldn’t do it either… Which made Ricky the
only possibility.
Could it really be him?
Irene would’ve never suspected Rocky, but remembering all the things he had been up to recently
made him a suspicious target.
“Irene…”
“Mom,” Irene cut Sheryl short again. “Don’t let Ricky near Tommy.”
“Why?!” Sheryl asked, and soon came to a realization.” Does that mean he was hurting Tommy?”
Irene only had her suspicions, however. Alas, she didn’t have evidence to form conclusions.
“Just go home for now, Mom. Don’t tell Ricky about Tommy. Just say that I went looking for Isaac with
him.”
“Okay…” Sheryl didn’t understand what the doctor was saying or the nature of Tommy’s condition, and
so asked,
“Is this serious? Is that stuff going to hurt him?”
Irene did not want her mother to worry, and so said, “It’s
fine.”
“Oh, that’s a relief,” Sheryl exclaimed.
However, it wasn’t until she left that Irene let her feelings show.
They were lucky they noticed early, or else…
Even so, she couldn’t bear Tommy being hurt repeatedly.
“I’ll have your baby admitted to the hospital,” the doctor
said, to which Irene nodded.
She and the doctor had been acquainted for quite a while, and he was eager to help her–such as
getting Tommy admitted right this moment. After some discussion, they
decided to start his medication as well. Since he was a
baby, keeping him at a hospital would allow him to be treated in time should he get sick again.
It was only until the evening that Tommy became quiet. He slept after having some formula milk.
That was when Irene’s phone suddenly started ringing. She immediately became wary when she heard
the voice from the other end.
