The boy noticed that Mommy was looking at him,so he reached out his hand cooperatively.Rosalie touched the little boy's head, her eyes were full of distress.However, she found no conclusive results after a bout of diagnosis.On the contrary, as time went on, their pain became more severe.Rosalie felt a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart. At the same time, she blamed herself for bringing the little guys out without taking care of them.Her inner mood was plastered all over her face because she was too flustered.Lucian saw his mother's self-blame, and silently walked to her side. "Mommy."Rosalie gathered her emotions and forced herself to calm down when she heard the boy’s voice. Then, she said to the little guy. "Mommy brought a medical kit, can you get it from the tent?"Right now, the little ones are in so much pain, but Rosalie could not make any diagnosis.This was the last resort. It was definitely right to give them pain relief first.Soon, Lucian took the sma
When Lucian said there was something wrong with his water, Rosalie did smell a faint odor in the water.That odor was produced by a type of bacteria when it comes into contact with water. But the problem was, that kind of bacteria could only survive in a laboratory. If it weren't man-made, it would not be possible for it to appear in such a mountain setting.Therefore, Rosalie's first reaction was to check if there were anyone other than them around. But, the grass field they were at was unobstructed, and there was no one else around but them. Rosalie did not think it was caused by bacteria, but thought it was just a coincidence.Unexpectedly, somebody had placed that kind of bacteria in the little ones’ cups.Rosalie’s heart twitched as she thought of the symptoms that the bacteria will produce when it comes in contact with the human body."Mummy, it hurts..." Nox finally could not take the pain anymore, and held her hand pitifully.Too bad that the little one was in such severe
Thanks to all the equipment Byron prepared for Estelle, they managed to get through the situation.Rosalie did not think they would be useful. However, those things managed to save the little ones’ lives.After searching for the stock pot Byron packed for Estelle, Rosalie came out of the tent.After a while, Rosalie threw the leaves and herbs she found into the pot. Then, she added some water to boil them.While the herbs were cooking, Rosalie got up again and carried the little ones into the tent. She covered each of them with extra clothes.The little ones were enduring so much pain that cold sweat drenched their foreheads. Their eyes looked listless and tired.Rosalie touched the little ones’ heads lovingly and said, “Please bear with it for a while more, okay? The medicine will be ready soon.”The little ones nodded weakly. They were too weak to speak.Rosalie comforted the two little ones and got out of the tent.As soon as Rosalie stepped outside, she felt a dull ache in
"Auntie…”The little one called out to Rosalie weakly when Rosalie carried her.Rosalie gently touched the little one’s face and said, “Here, drink this medicine so that it won’t hurt as badly anymore.”The little one, of course, believed her. She obediently leaned against Rosalie.Estelle’s tiny face wrinkled only after taking a sip.Rosalie placed the cup by Estelle’s lips again, but the little one refused to open her mouth this time.The little one had been ill since she was a toddler. She had been taking pills and getting injections, but she seldom drank herbal medicines.As a result, she could not stand the bitterness of it.When Rosalie was worried about how to make Estelle drink the medicine, Lucian walked into the tent.“Estie, drink the medicine and I’ll give you candy!”The little one crouched before Estelle and shook his fist at her.Estelle looked at Lucian hesitantly. Thinking she would get candy later, she cooperated by opening her mouth and drinking the herbal
As Rosalie tried to reverse her car quickly, she heard the moans of the little ones from the back seat.Rosalie was anxious and failed to control her limbs. They shuddered.The next thing she knew, the car dashed straight into a big tree opposite.Rosalie’s mind went blank for a moment.Noticing the car was about to crash into it, Rosalie snapped out of her daze and lifted her leg from the accelerator.However, it was too late! The car crashed into a tree trunk.The car shook violently before the engine extinguished.The little ones in the back seat had severe stomachaches. The shake caused them more pain, and they could not hold back their tears.“Mommy, are you alright?”Lucian witnessed the whole process. The first thing he did was comfort the two little ones and ask about his mommy’s condition.Rosalie’s hands were still shaking.She heard the cries of the little ones and Lucian’s concerned question.However, all she could focus on was the shaking tree before her.They
Rosalie closed the car door and dialed Mary’s number.It took a while for the call to get through.“Rosalie? Aren’t you out camping? What’s up?”Rosalie could hear the noise from the other end of the call. “What are you doing?”Mary sounded distressed. “I’m in hell. I have to work overtime again.”As she spoke, the noise at the other end became louder again.Before Rosalie could say anything, Mary said, “I have to go now. I’ll call you back later.”Then, Mary hung up the call.Looking at the dark phone screen, Rosalie felt disappointment rising, but she did not redial Mary’s number.After a moment’s hesitation, Rosalie tried dialing Leon’s number.Leon picked up the call soon after it went through, but he was not in the city and could do nothing.Rosalie said nothing when Leon asked her what had happened out of concern. She brushed him off and hung up the call.She did not have time to explain and did not want to cause them so much trouble.Her only two friends were busy a
Hearing the little one’s voice, Byron’s heart sank slightly, “What’s wrong?”Lucian looked at Nox and Estelle beside him. “Do you have time? Can you come and get us?”Byron frowned. “Isn’t your mommy there? What happened to you?”His first thought was that something had happened to them.Otherwise, the little one would not have asked that.In the few seconds between the conversation, Byron heard a few sobs.That confirmed his guess.“Our car crashed into a tree, and…”The little one was about to tell Byron about Nox’s and Estelle’s condition. However, Byron’s voice interrupted from the other end of the call.“What’s going on now? Are you badly hurt? I’ll come at once!”With that, Byron strode to the elevator.Lucian quickly explained, “We’re not injured, but Nox and Estie are ill.”Byron was already in the elevator when he heard this.On the other hand, Lucian wanted to say something but could not explain it clearly. Hence, he could only say, “I’ll get Mommy to talk to you
Hearing his proposal, Rosalie was moved but still hesitated.Byron was not someone from the medical field, after all. He might not be able to differentiate the herbs.Not to mention her dosage requirements.Even the slightest error in the herbal quantity would affect the medicine.Byron had already started the car. “I’m going to the research institute now. You think about what medicine you need, and I’ll call you when I get there.”After that, Byron hung up the call without waiting for Rosalie to respond. Then, he dialed Luther’s number.“Where are you, sir? The meeting in the conference room...”Luther saw Byron leaving without hesitation just now. He looked back at the executives waiting in the meeting room, feeling troubled.Byron ordered Luther in his deep voice, “I have something important to deal with. Let’s stop the meeting here today. You can ask them to disperse.”Upon hearing this, Luther agreed and conveyed Byron’s message.Byron hung up the call and dashed toward
