Chapter 598 Taking A Risk That He’s Right
At noon, the doctor came to examine the little guy. The fever had subsided, but there was still no way
to treat the rash.
"How are the test results?" Leanna asked.
The doctor only shook his head, saying, "It's being handled urgently, but it may take some time
because the situation is complicated."
Leanna looked at the little guy on the bed who had lost a lot of weight, and she said with a soft tone,
"He won't be able to take much more if it keeps going like this."
"I just gave him a nutrition injection. Hopefully, he can hold on for a while longer," the doctor replied.
She opened her mouth for a second as she was trying to say something, but she was at a loss for
words.
Even the doctor had used the word "hopefully" at such a juncture...
Then, the doctor added, "Observe him a little longer and keep me informed of any developments."
"Thank you," Leanna replied.
She sat by the bed and looked at the little guy after the doctor left. If she had to be honest, she didn't
even know what to think in that situation.
Then, Zoe came over and patted her on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Nana. He will get better."
In the evening, Leanna asked Zoe to go home and she stayed with the little guy all by herself.
Freddie came again not long after Zoe had left. He had taken a shower, shaved, and changed his
clothes.
"Has Aidan contacted you?" he asked.
"No. I called him, but his phone was switched off."
Freddie frowned. "I can't get in touch with him either. Could something have happened to him?"
It wasn't just Aidan, but they had lost contact with Oscar as well.
No one knew the situation over in Jamesdon at that point.
At that moment, they heard there was a commotion downstairs in the hospital.

"I'll go and take a look." Freddie volunteered.
Meanwhile, Leanna listened to the noise outside as she hugged the little guy closely in her arms.
Two minutes later, another doctor wearing a mask came in to measure the baby's body temperature.
However, Leanna took a step back as soon as he took out the thermometer. She looked at him warily.
"I haven't seen you before."
It was always the same doctor who came and examined the little guy. Besides, even the two nurses
who measured his body temperature were always the same these past days.
Then, the doctor took off his mask and revealed his handsome face. "It's an honor to finally meet you in
person," he greeted.
Leanna frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The doctor smiled as he put the mask in the pocket of his white coat. "It doesn't matter who I am, but I
would like to invite you to a certain place with me."
At noon, the doctor came to examine the little guy. The fever had subsided, but there was still no way
to treat the rash.
She pursed her lips and asked, "Are you from Sienna's side?"
"No, I don't know any Sienna."
"What do you want?"
He stepped forward. "Sorry."
Outside the hospital room, Freddie could feel his blood boiling as he said to the person on the other
end of the phone, "Are you freaking serious? You will atone for your sins with death if Aidan finds out
that I helped you kidnap them right under his nose."
Yet, Oscar replied in a rush, "I don't have time to explain everything to you now. Didn't you find out
about the information? There's a cure in Jamesdon. We have to try it."
"Okay, tell them to hurry up. I can't stall this much longer, or Keaton is gonna show up and beat me up."
Leanna and the little guy were brought out from inside the ward as soon as Freddie finished speaking.
The doctor smiled at Freddie when their gazes met, but Freddie remained silent.
He only looked away silently.
The doctor warned as soon as he heard the sound in the hallway, "They are here. Let's go."

Freddie watched their backs as perspirations popped out on him profusely. He wouldn't do this if it
weren't for his years of friendship with Oscar and knowing that Oscar would never harm Aidan. He
would close his eyes and cooperate even if he was forced to do so with a knife to his neck today.
He didn't know if this was the right choice.
Everything would be over if Oscar betrayed Aidan. There was a chance that Oscar had been
approaching Aidan from Jamesdon with a purpose all along.
So, the only plan now was to take a gamble on him.
Freddie could only hope that he didn't misjudge Oscar.
...
Leanna had no idea how long she had fallen asleep after she woke up. Her vision was blurry, but she
sat up as soon as she came to her senses, and she started looking for her child.
She realized that the little guy was sleeping peacefully by her side after she sat upright.
Furthermore, the rashes on his body had considerably faded.
It seemed the worst had passed now that the little guy was able to sleep so soundly.
Leanna tried to get up, but she felt weak and her temples were throbbing as soon as she recalled the
doctor whom she had seen in the hospital room earlier.
Just then, the door was opened, and the said person came in. "You're awake. How did you sleep?" he
asked.
Leanna quickly shielded the little guy behind her and asked, "Where are you taking us?"
The doctor removed the nearby partition and leisurely replied, "Jamesdon."
The doctor removed the nearby partition and leisurely replied, "Jamesdon."
She looked at him with her eyebrows furrowed tightly.
He turned around and reassured her, "Don't worry. I won't harm either of you. It's just that the medical
team and all the equipment and medication are over there. I have no choice but to take you there."
Leanna remembered the piece of newspaper that Freddie gave her, and she asked, "Do you know how
he got sick?"

"I do," the doctor replied.
She suddenly had a glimmer of hope upon hearing that and she asked, "Can… Can you cure him?"
The doctor sat on the couch and poured a glass of water for himself as he answered, "I don't want to
break your heart, nor do I want to make false promises."
Leanna was silent.
Can't he speak without sounding like a playboy?
The doctor continued, "His illness was caused by the nutrient injection, which resulted in adverse
reactions. We have only encountered one such case so far, and the child can be considered lucky to
have not suffered more. He has recovered well in the past two years after the treatment.
However, adverse reactions caused by nutrient injection vary from person to person. Therefore, the
method of treatment should only be made based on the individual's situation. How smoothly one
recovers also depend on his physical condition."
Leanna was still confused. "But the rashes on his body have disappeared..."
"That's because I gave him a shot to temporarily relieve the symptoms. It's not a permanent solution,
but it should at least make him sleep more comfortably."
"Are you a doctor?"
"Why? Do I look too young, too handsome, and too capable to be a doctor?"
Leanna faked a smile. "So, what's wrong with the nutrient injection? If something is wrong with it, why
was it still being..."
"Well, that's a bit complicated. The nutrient injections were destroyed two years ago when
complications were found. I don't know how they have made their way to Highside, and—"
"Do you really not know Sienna?" Leanna interrupted.
"To be honest, I have never been to Highside throughout my life."
"Have you had any contact with the Pearson Family?"
"Why would I? I'm quite fond of preserving my own life."
Leanna didn't speak again, after which she turned to look at the sleeping boy.
At least there is still a glimmer of hope.
Then, the doctor stood up. "We still have two hours before we arrive in Jamesdon. You can rest for a
while."
