I bristled and didn’t speak up.
Looking out of the car window, some sleepy, how I always feel that recently they are too easy to sleepy.
When I got back to the villa, it was late and Dennis had company matters to deal with, so I went straight back to the bedroom and prepared for bed. When I came out of the shower, I was a little surprised to see Barbara’s message on my phone.
She and I had only met on one side, to put it mildly, and I didn’t expect her to contact me multiple times.
Looking at the message she sent, not many words, just a few words of greeting, “Miss Kennedy, asleep?”
I messaged back, “Still awake! What’s wrong? What’s bothering you lately?”
“Nope!” She would me a word and then asked me when I was going to City A anyway, and I really didn’t have anything to go to City A for lately.
After thinking about it, he said, “Is there something you want to talk to me about?”
She returned, “No, just wanted to ask when you were coming.”
If it were anyone else, I would not be comfortable with this kind of behavior, except that she is depressed and a particularly gloomy person at heart, and I can probably tell that she is different from others.
I typed a few words, “Recently there are still some things here, when there is time, I will go over, if you have nothing to do, you can come to City P tour.”
She only gave me a good reply, and then there was no movement.
Although I felt strange in my heart, but because of the tossing and turning of the day, it was too sleepy, lying on the bed and fell asleep directly, and I did not even notice when Dennis came in.
The next day.
I was awakened by the phone ringing and Dennis rolled over and answered it for me.
I asked in a daze, “Who called?”
He didn’t answer me in a hurry, but just sat up straight from the bed suddenly, a little surprised.
I woke up to his movement and looked at him and said, “Did something happen?”
He hung up the phone, got off the bed, and spoke, “Clariana had a lot of nosebleeds this morning, and hemoptysis, and will just be taken to the hospital.”
With that, he put the clothes on his body and hurriedly went into the bathroom.
I followed him to get up, still a little confused, half a sound to realize the seriousness of the problem, jumped out of bed, take the phone to call Luna, but the other phone has not been able to call.
I called Folly, there was some noise on the other end and she spoke, “Clara, you guys need to come to the hospital, Clariana is sick.”
Probably because it is too anxious, she did not even finish the words to hang up the phone, I can not think too much, find the clothes haphazardly put on, Dennis came out of the bathroom.
Pulled me and drove straight to the hospital.
On the road Dennis’s cell phone kept ringing, he drove without being able to connect the phone, looked at me and said, “You answer!”
I looked at the caller ID, froze, and looked at him and said, “It’s Drele calling!”
He nodded his head.
I clicked on the phone, picked up, the other side spoke, “Mr. George, found out, when the child was sent to the factory is a chemical plant, the factory has a lot of carcinogens, I have inquired, the people who worked there, there are a lot of cancer, the place has been closed, the factory is the Bennett Family. ”
Seeing that we did not speak, the other side continued, “That factory had an explosion before Mr. Bennett accident, that one leaked a lot of chemical hazards, the people who were affected at that time, went to check, some were fine some were infected.”
I did not lift a breath, half a day did not breathe over, hung up the phone and looked at Dennis, emotions are a little difficult to control, “that year Clariana was sent by Mario to the factory for a period of time, she will not …”
I was a little disbelieved, Dennis drove the car, silent for a while said, “the results of my investigation back then was that Clariana was sent to the chemical plant by him, but later found Clariana was with Nova, I thought at the time that my information was wrong, now it seems that he was because of the factory explosion, so Clariana Transferred.”
“Clariana is his child, why would he do that?” I forced down my tears, “Why did he do it when he knew where it was so dangerous?”
Dennis pursed his lips, “Maybe he didn’t know himself, otherwise he wouldn’t have given Clariana to Nova afterwards.”
“But even if he didn’t do it on purpose, shouldn’t he have let us take Clariana for a checkup afterwards? This kind of thing, he actually didn’t mention anything, if he had told us earlier, we would have found out earlier, it would have been better for Clariana!”
I was a little run down, Dennis is not good, silent for a while, he spoke, “Let’s not rush, first go to the hospital to let the doctor for examination, see the results, maybe just the weather caused.”
That’s all I can do to comfort myself right now.
The car drove to the hospital floor, Folly held the crying Keith, some apologetic look at me said, “Clara, can not help, Keith has been crying, should not adapt to the hospital environment, I take him back first, Zack went to school, can not come back for a while, sister-in-law and brother are in the hospital, Clariana is still doing Don’t worry, everything will be fine!”
I nodded and told her to hurry back with the children, the weather here is too cold, children out, the crowd is noisy, indeed, also do not adapt.
She left with the baby and Dennis and I went into the hospital, where Clariana was being wheeled around for tests, with Luna and Samuel following around.
Tossed down, Clariana was sent into the examination room, Luna looked at me with red eyes, her voice choked, “The first few times I had a fever I thought it was a change of season, last night she had a fever, I also thought she would be fine as long as she took some medicine, but I never thought that when I went to call her to school this morning, she would bleed so much and keep coughing and coughing blood, it was me I was too careless, I should have brought her to the hospital!”
I shook my head slightly and comforted her, “Mom, don’t worry, maybe it’s simply dry weather causing dryness and lack of water, it’s okay, she’s not always in good health, maybe it’s just some minor ailments, it’s okay!”
Drele thing, I do not know how to say to her for a while, Clariana followed them for so long, although not their own, but these days have long been not divided these, they are really doting on Clariana, as their own granddaughter.
Samuel is old, followed the doctor ran for a while, at this time sitting on a chair, slightly panting, a vicissitudes of the face through the indescribable worry.
Not long after, the doctor came out, holding a bunch of sheets in his hand, and looked at us and said, “Who is the child’s family, everyone?”
“We all are!” I spoke, my eyes falling on the lab sheet in his hand.
The doctor took one look at us and spoke, “You should all go to my office together!”
With that, he made an inviting gesture, gesturing for us to follow him to his office.
