Chapter 763
Hearing Kaiden's stern warning, Amelia replied hesitantly, "Mm... I've said it, I swear."
Kaiden had caught the oddness in her words. He could not help glaring at her, "Could you at least be more sincere when you're taking on your oath?"
Amelia could not stand at his bugging. She turned to his back with the remote control plane in her hand. She shoved his back and said, "Fine then, we can talk about all this later. You should help me in dealing with Abner now."
It was not longer after they came out from the mansion that Amelia saw a building named Quartley's Private Hospital.
Seeing this, Amelia murmured to herself, "It's such a convenience to have a hospital built right in front of your own house. There's no need to worry in case anyone falls sick."
At this time, Kaiden suddenly asked, "Why are you holding this broken toy in your hand?"
Amelia blurted, "Abner likes it."
"But this won't cure him." Kaiden was unenthusiastic with her explanation.
Amelia shook her head and said, "It's hard to say. I've caught Abner staring at it when he was being carried away. I guess he would be happy to see it if I bring this to him."
Kaiden furrowed. There were time when this woman was dislikable when she was absent-minded. Yet there were time like this moment where he found her being extraordinarily thoughtful. Kaiden began to feel uncertain of her true character.
Amelia asked him, "Oh yeah, what did you call the lady just now?"
"Savannah." Kaiden continued, "She is Abner's personal nanny now."
Amelia nodded and asked, "Don't you think you should call Savannah and ask her about their whereabout before we go to the hospital? It seems like there is a couple of floors within that building."
Kaiden said lightly, "There's no need. Everyone on duty in the hospital know Abner. We can simply stop one of the staffs and ask."
Amelia regretted for not thinking of this. She replied, "Oh yeah!"
Here it came the absent-minded her!
Kaiden frowned and said, "Otherwise why would it be called a private hospital? You're such a stupid woman!"
Amelia did not seem to be provoked by Kaiden's sarcasm. Although she did not get to meet Sawyer, it was worth celebrating if she could meet his only son in person.
Upon entering the lobby hall of the hospital, Amelia realized that this place was in a state of pin- dropped silence. There was no one else other than the doctors and nurses on duty.
Amelia could not help feeling strange.
Especially the moment when the two of them had entered into the hospital, all the doctors and nurses passing by immediately stopped their work on hand and glanced in direction on them with their eyes sparkled in excitement. It was as if they had taken them as the experimental white mice and frogs awaiting for autopsy.
Kaiden had caught Amelia freezing at her feet from the corner of his eyes. He then whispered to her in explanation, "They are just bored."
Bored?
Amelia thought for a moment at Kaiden's words. This was in fact a huge private hospital staffed with numerous doctors and nurses to serve only the Quartley family. There was no wonder that they were all bored since this hospital was clearly overstaffed.
The ICU on the second floor.
When Amelia and Kaiden had showed themselves there, the entrance of the ICU could be seen closing shut. Savannah was nowhere to be seen. She must have followed Abner and stayed with him inside.
A number of doctors could be seen gathering outside the ICU room with their expression serious as they frowned.
As soon as Amelia got closer, she could tell that they were sighing while discussing on the matter of blood bag.
Amelia frowned and thought for a while. She remembered that Abner had just injured his calf. Supposedly all he needed was stitches no matter how delicate and vulnerable he was as a kid.
Besides, if Sawyer could afford to build a private hospital, surely he could afford hiring the best doctors in medial expertise. This was why she could not understand the expression on their faces now.
She took a glance at Kaiden's expression which was no longer at ease. Seeing that he was frowning, she began to realize that the injury sustained by Abner might be far more serious than she had imagined.
Amelia must admit that she was somehow worried of Abner at this moment. After all, since she knew the fact that Abner was the grandchild of Ryan, Amelia could not stop feeling worried.
Time flied when every of them were lost in their own thoughts.
As soon as the door of the ICU room cracked open, Amelia could see a doctor walked out dejectedly. He then shook his head upon seeing his colleagues.
Amelia could hearthem sighing in despair.
Seeing this, Amelia could not help feeling frustrated.
She wanted to rush forward and question them regarding Abner's illness. Yet she felt that it was inappropriate for her to do so. After all, she was no one to Abner. She could only glance at Kaiden meaningfully.
It was as if Kaiden could read her mind. He waved in direction of the attending doctor and called him over to ask about Abner's condition.
The attending doctor stared at Amelia's unfamiliar face alarmingly. From NôvelDrama.Org.
Kaiden said from the side, "It's okay. She is here with me. Anything that you're going to tell me now, you can say in front of her too."
Amelia's brows seemed to relax a little upon hearing this. This was the very first time she felt that Kaiden was capable of being manly.
Hearing this from Kaiden, the attending doctor did not bother to keep the information from Amelia anymore. After all, Kaiden would be the one who needed to be held accountable in the event if Abner's illness was being exposed.
"Mr. Wright, what's ongoing now is that..."
Amelia listened attentively to every words he said. Her heart sank as she was getting more information regarding Abner's illness.
It turned out that Abner had been suffering from a strange disease since he was born. Any slight grazing or knocking of any part of his body could have led him into bleeding profusely.
In light of this strange disease, it was not possible for doctors to stitch up his wounds. Otherwise, he might sustain further blood loss due to stitching.
Therefore, doctors could only apply medicine on the wound and bandage it in easing the blood loss. Not only that this treatment method was not advanced, it took long for him to recover.
In the process of healing, Abner would continue to suffer from blood loss. In order to prevent huge amount of blood loss that would have caused his death, the hospital had no other choice but to pump in blood for him continuously just to keep him alive.
To make the overall situation even worse, the blood type of Abner was rare. Since it was going to take long for him to recover, usually he would need a lot of blood bags.
Moreover, Abner had such a delicate skin that even his blood was vulnerable. The blood bags gathered by the hospital could not be stored for more than three days. Otherwise, had they been used on Abner, they would cause him to have skin allergy.
After all, the group of doctors were not fortune tellers. There was no way for them to know when would Abner be getting injured. Hence, they could only replenish the blood bags once in every three days.
In light of the rarity of such blood type, it was not an easy task for them to replenish sufficient amount of blood bags for back up.
Not to mention the fact that there was no uniform pattern on the occurrence of Abner's injury!
There were time when he was uninjured for several months straight. Yet there were also time when he sustained injuries for a couple of times within one month. All the doctors had been driven crazy by his illness.
Not only that they had to replenish the blood bags, they would have to sell out the unused blood bags which had been stored for more than three days. It was not uncommon for them to spend a great deal of money in exchange for a small bag of blood.
Such a contradicting act of buying in and selling out blood bags from time to time had made them a joke among other colleagues in the same field!
