Chapter 72
“Here we are.”
The man’s voice came faintly from the phone, and then the video phone at home rang.
I hung up the phone, stood up and opened the gate of the community for the two on the video phone, and myself opened the gate of the villa and waited in the yard.
In the dark night, a car slowly came over and stopped in the yard.
After a while, Penn got out of the car in a thin gray shirt. He turned around, opened the back door and carried the little boy out of the car.
“Auntie!” Lundy was held in Penn’s arms and stretched out her hand to me from a distance, wanting her to hold her.
I strode forward and tried to hold him in my arms, but the man dodged.
Seeing this, I was stunned. Thinking of the unhappy conversation between the two in the evening, I thought Penn was still angry.
“I don’t know if it’s infectious or not,” said Penn with a frown.
I was stunned for a few seconds. I didn’t expect that Penn was just thinking about me.
“It doesn’t matter.” I pursed my lips and smiled, looking at the little guy to comfort him. “Come on, let me hug you.”
Then he reached out his hand to the little guy and wanted to carry him in.
I can see that he is very scared now and wants me to hug him.
However, failed again.
The little boy twisted his waist in Penn’s arms and dodged my hand. He shook his head at me and said, “Daddy, take me in.”
I knew that the little guy was afraid that I would be infected, and his heart softened. But he finally compromised and followed the two into the living room.
“Go to my room.”
Seeing the man’s footsteps stop, I said softly.
Penn nodded and went upstairs with the little boy in his arms.
I followed him in and took a big blanket from the side and spread it on the bed, indicating him to put the little guy down.
Penn then put the little boy on the bed.
I approached carefully and lifted the small blanket covering the child’s body.
Earlier, the lighting outside was dim, and with the child wrapped tightly, I only knew that they had red spots on their body, but I didn’t know the specific situation.
The child was very obedient and allowed me to move them. After lifting the blanket, I looked at the small red spots covering the child’s body and my eyes showed a trace of surprise.
Although I had anticipated that the child’s condition might be serious even before Penn arrived, I didn’t expect it to be this severe. Fortunately, Penn stopped the child in time and prevented them from scratching, otherwise, the situation might have been even worse.
“What’s the situation? Is it serious?” Penn grabbed the child’s wrist and asked me with a frown. Hearing this, I turned my head and looked at him, my expression becoming somewhat serious.
“I still need to diagnose it.” She probably guessed the cause of the child’s symptoms, but to confirm, I needed to check their pulse. Penn’s brow furrowed even more tightly,
“Lundy’s illness is contagious.” Hearing this, both Lundy and I were stunned. Regaining my senses, I instinctively looked at the man’s exposed skin, and only saw a few faint red spots at the collar of his shirt.
ready been covered with red spots.
this man endured it, but he didn’t show anything unusual all the time.
Seeing Penn, I couldn’t help frowning.
But the little guy only heard that his disease would infect him, so he didn’t see the red dots on Penn’s body. He felt aggrieved and shrank aside, unwilling to let us touch him again.
When I came to my senses and looked down at the little boy curling up, my heart ached. “Lundy, come here. Let me have a look.”
The little boy shook his head and replied timidly, “no, it will infect auntie.”
Hearing this, my eyes turned sour. I smiled and said to the little guy, “I’m not afraid. I’ve treated similar patients before. I’ve already got this disease, so I won’t be infected anymore.”
Lundy walked slowly to me and reached out.
I touched the little guy’s head to comfort him, grabbed his wrist and diagnosed him.
Penn’s POV
I looked at the little woman in front of me with deep eyes.
The expression on her face when she spoke just now almost deceived me.
But on second thought, this little woman hadn’t diagnosed the little guy yet. How could she know if the little guy’s disease would be infected?
What she said just now was just to comfort the little guy.
When I came to my senses, Aimee had already started to feel his pulse. I couldn’t say anything more, but I felt something wrong in my heart.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
This little woman, who didn’t even know her relationship with the little guy, was willing to take such a big risk to treat the little guy
For a moment, I even regretted taking him here.
I should take him to the hospital. At least, I can prevent her from being infected.
When Aimee was treating Lundy, Aviva and Cyrus came in curiously.
Seeing the two kids running into the room, I frowned and warned them in a low voice, “don’t come in.”
It was too late when I spoke. The two kids carefully touched Lundy’s neck and asked with concern, “Mommy, what’s wrong with Lundy?”
The two kids withdrew their hands and looked at each other strangely.
“It’s itchy.” Cyrus looked down at his wrist, only to find that there was a red dot on it, which was the same as Lundy’s neck.
Aviva’s arm was also injured.
“I feel so bad.” Cyrus frowned and stretched out his little hand to scratch it.
“Don’t touch me.”
As he spoke, he grabbed the two kids’ hands to stop them from touching each other.
I didn’t stop them just now because I was afraid that I might have been infected and didn’t dare to touch them.
Now that the kids have been infected, I have no scruples anymore.
Lundy, who was standing next to them, was experienced. She apologized as she endured the pain, “I’m sorry. It’s Lundy’s fault…”
