When she was pregnant, she could eat and sleep. The two children were healthy when they were born. They had always been very good at eating, just like her, and always been strong.
Occasionally, they had a fever or a cold. But they would recover after having an injection.
Serina never thought that one day she would stand outside the ICU and her daughter was lying inside.
She sat on the bench in a daze, feeling her body was about to be hollowed out.
Yesterday, they were happy to celebrate her birthday. But now Chelsea was lying in the ICU.
Serina’s tears flowed out.
“Mommy, Chelsea will be fine. The doctor and nurse will save her, right?” Bella wiped Serina’s tears.
“Yes, she will be fine,” Serina pretended to be strong, but she knew how panicked she was.
Serina sighed. She took out her mobile phone and found that there was only one signal. She shook the mobile phone shook and the only signal was gone.
There were many instruments inside the ICU. The cell phone signal would interfere with the equipment inside.
Serina put down Bella and held her hand, “Bella, let’s go to the corridor. Mommy wants to make a call.”
“Alright.”
Serina held Bella’s hand and came to the corridor. The first person she thought of was Derek.
At such an important moment, she had lost her mind. She had never been as fearful as she was now.
She was in fear, an unprecedented fear.
Because her hands were trembling, she took a long time to find Derek’s phone number and dialed it.
“Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off.” She put her phone near her ear but just heard this.
Serina’s heart was broken. Why did Derek turn off?
Due to the sudden incident, she had forgotten that Derek had made an appointment with her to fly to the United States at 3’o clock this afternoon.
She called several times, and the result was the same.
When the cold female voice came out of the phone, Serina’s tears overflowed once again. Bella stood next to her. In order not to let Bella see her tears, she turned her head to the side and secretly wiped her tears.
Serina took a deep breath and called Ernest.
“Hey, Serina, what’s the matter? I’m filming. Quickly say.”
“Ernie, Chelsea, something happened to Chelsea,” The moment Serina heard Ernie’s voice, she cried.
She finally found someone who could share the burden with her. She could finally remove all her disguise.
“What’s wrong with Chelsea? Don’t cry, tell me.”
“I’m in the ICU of the children’s hospital. Can you come over?”
“Alright, I’ll be right there.”
The phone was hung up.
Serina covered her face, allowing her tears to flow.
An hour later, Ernest appeared in the ICU. Bella was the first to see Ernest, “Mr. Ernest.”
She ran toward Ernest and threw herself into his arms. Ernest picked up Bella and walked to Serina.
“Serina, what happened? Why are you in ICU?”
Serina looked up to Ernest who put down Bella and sat next to Serina.
“I’m so scared,” When Serina saw Ernest, she cried as she said.
Ernest held Serina’s shoulder, “Serina, don’t cry. What happened?”
Serina shook her head hard, “I am really scared.”
“Don’t be afraid. I am here. I will find the best doctor for Chelsea. She will be fine.” Although Ernest did not know what happened, he had never seen Serina was so weak.
He had never even seen her cry.
“Mr. Ernest, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t let Chelsea eat so much meat.”
Serina took a deep breath and said, “It’s food poisoning. There was a problem with the meat of the kindergarten. Many children were sent in. However, other children are fine after having an injection or infusion. Only Chelsea ate too much. She did not eat anything except meat.”
“What did the doctor say?”
“The doctor said that Chelsea is dangerous. She needs to stay in ICU. The doctor asked me to sign the critical condition notice and didn’t say anything else. I don’t know what her condition is now.”
Ernest held Bella with one hand and strokes Serina’s back with the other hand, “It’s okay, she will be fine.”
…
Thirteen hours later in the United States.
There was a twelve-hour time difference between the United States and China. It was three in the afternoon when they set off, and it was four in the afternoon when they arrived in the United States.
The moment they got off the plane, Hayden immediately turned on his phone. As soon as he turned it on, he received a call from China.
“Hayden, we found Mrs. Darion.”
“Where is she?”
“There was a food poisoning incident at noon in the Flower Kindergarten. Many children were hospitalized. Mrs. Darion went to the hospital.”
“Is it serious?”
“I’m not sure yet. Mrs. Darion should be in the hospital. However, we didn’t find her after searching for a long time. The children’s hospital is chaotic. Because there are more children, the nurses aren’t sure about the situation.”
Hayden looked at Derek who was calling.
“If children ate something bad, they will have diarrhea and will be fine after vomiting. It should not be serious. If there is any latest news, report it to me in time. There can not be any mistakes in today’s listing.”
“Yes,”
After hanging up the phone, Derek walked over and patted Hayden on the shoulder. “Give me your phone. My phone is out of battery.”
“Mr. Darion, we have found Mrs. Darion.”
“Where is she? Is she OK?” Derek immediately became nervous. The last call he made was unable to be connected.
“There was a food poisoning incident in the Flower Kindergarten. Children are hospitalized.”
“Hospitalized? Is it serious?”
“Nothing. Mrs. Darion is staying with the children in the hospital. It will be fine after having an infusion. Mr. Darion, you have just become a father. You may not be used to it. It is normal for children to be sick. My sister’s children have to go to the hospital a few times every month.”
Hayden pretended to be relaxed.
“Are you sure?” Derek felt uneasy.
“Yes, Mr. Darion. Let’s prepare for the listing immediately. When this is over, we can go back immediately.”
“Alright, let’s get ready immediately. Don’t delay even a minute.” Derek sighed.
