Chapter 1140: Child Fever
Harrison is now in a bit of a panic, as he needs to discuss with the doctor the best course of treatment in addition to the various checks.
The child’s high fever needs immediate attention, and Harrison wants to take the safest approach.
With Jane not yet arrived, Harrison can’t use any other methods. Just then, he receives a call from Jane.
After hanging up, Harrison tells the child’s mother that Jane will be arriving soon.
When Jane arrives at the hospital, the child is delirious from the fever, muttering nonsensically.
The redness in the child’s cheeks is very distressing to see.
Jane rushes to the doctor.
“Doctor, how is my child? What do we need to do?”
Seeing Jane on the verge of tears, Harrison rushes to comfort her.
“Don’t worry, the doctor is here. All the necessary checks have been done, and we just need to decide on a specific treatment plan.”
The doctor tells Jane that the child’s high fever is more serious than expected and has also affected the lungs.
Emergency treatment is needed, including IV fluids for inflammation and specific treatment for the lungs.
Jane nods repeatedly, as she has some knowledge of medical practices. Although limited, she knows the child’s condition requires urgent attention.
Delaying could lead to more serious issues such as bronchitis or worse inflammation.
“If everything is okay, I will prescribe the medication. Get the child started on the IV. The medications I prescribed earlier were for temporary relief. Once the IV is completed, continue with the current medications.”
Jane nods and leaves the doctor’s office with Harrison. She needs to hurry to get the medication, as the two children are causing a ruckus and the nanny can’t handle them alone.
Jane returns, sweaty and exhausted, handing the medication to the nurse. The two children continue to cause a commotion, and Jane can only comfort them.
No child is ever quiet when getting a shot. They are not only scared but also uncomfortable due to their illness, which reflects in their emotions.
“Baby, don’t be afraid. Mommy is here. Once the shot is done, you will feel better. In a few days, you’ll be back to playing and jumping around, and mommy will be there to play with you.”
“So many brave kids in the hospital. You two need to be brave like them and not feel inferior. You understand?”
The children quiet down a bit, then start causing a commotion again, leaving Jane unable to leave the room.
Perhaps Patrick’s arrival could calm the children, but Jane is unable to reach him after several attempts.
Jane leaves a message, but there is no reply from Patrick.
Harrison hears Jane’s muttering and inquires about the situation when she comes out.
“Maybe Patrick is tied up with something, or he might be in meetings with other departments and cannot answer the phone!”
“Patrick may not have told you, but I know. Patrick has been called in for meetings twice by the relevant departments regarding issues with our company’s past artists.”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Jane is still dissatisfied upon hearing this, knowing that solving the problem is necessary. However, Patrick’s lack of knowledge about the children’s situation and his work stresses her. He is already busy with the meetings and still has to deal with company matters. Patrick does not even answer his phone.
If Patrick can’t come back and just respond to her messages, Jane would feel better.
“I’m just upset that I can’t reach him. At a time like this, he should be showing concern as a father, but he doesn’t know what he’s doing.”
“Maybe he’s cooperating with the department’s meetings, but can’t he answer the phone? I’ll see if he replies to my message later.”
Jane is angry and returns to the room, as the two children are still causing a commotion. Jane and Harrison have to comfort the children again, with the nanny already exhausted.
Jane knows the nanny is tired as she’s been busy all day. She understands that the nanny also has her own family to take care of and cannot be with them all the time.
“Okay, Auntie, you go home. I’ll call you tomorrow to see what you can do for the kids. You’ve been running around all day. Thank you for your hard work!”
The nanny nods and says, “I’ll leave now. The kids have been a handful today, and I’m feeling sore all over.”
The nanny has indeed been very tired today. Not only doing work, but also dealing with the two children, it’s more than just physical exhaustion, but also a mental burden, especially with the children falling ill.
Even though it’s common for children to get sick while growing up, it’s still heart-wrenching for the nanny.
If something big happens, the nanny will also be held responsible.
Jane understands the nanny’s feelings very well; she knows what kind of person the nanny is.
“Go home and rest. I know it’s a lot of work to deal with sick children. You must be very tired.”
After the nanny leaves, Jane asks Harrison to help her watch the children for a while before seeking the doctor’s advice.
“Doctor, what should we do in this situation? Apart from the prescribed medication, do we need to stay in the hospital for observation or can we go back home?”
Jane wants to avoid any problems, hence the question. The doctor informs her.
