Outside the operation room, Aurora was crying bitterly while the servants comforted her. “Ms. Caison, please calm down! The doctors are trying their best to save him, so Santhos will be fine! He will be alright!”
“How is he gonna be fine? He did not promise me! He… he stopped breathing just now! I tried… he wasn’t… he wasn’t breathing!” Aurora cried.
When she saw the child lying on the ground with a pale face, she immediately rushed over and picked him up. She called out to him, but he didn’t respond.
The baby was fine when she went to get some water, and he was playing with toys like usual. Why did he end up this way out of a sudden?
Aurora naturally did not suspect the gummies she gave him, as she was the one who handed them to him. She was also the one who bought it from the pharmacy.
Aurora could not figure out why this happened. As a mother, it was torture seeing her own son this way. She was helpless and in despair.
“What’s wrong with baby?” Ornard then rushed in and asked.
Seeing Ornard, it was as though Aurora had found her pillar. She stood up and jumped toward him. “What should we do? I’m scared… my dear baby…”
“Don’t be scared. I’m here, and he will be fine!” Ornard hugged Aurora and comforted her. Then, Veronica’s voice sounded from behind. “Brother, you’re here too?”
Hearing her voice, Ornard’s embrace stiffened. He immediately changed his embrace from a hug to support for Aurora. The maid beside him quickly came forward to support her as well. Ornard finally let go of her.
Aurora continued to wail while Veronica pretended not to notice that something was wrong between Ornard and Aurora. She quickly walked over and asked, “How is everything?”
“The doctor is still in the emergency room. We don’t know the specific situation for now,” the servant said.
“Oh, don’t be too sad. Nothing will happen to Santhos!” Veronica tried to comfort Aurora, but she cried with her head down and ignored Veronica.
Veronica sneered to herself and thought how heartbroken Ornard was right now.
How interesting! As the initiator of all this, she stood there and watched the heartbroken Ornard trying to conceal his pain. She was in an extremely happy mood as she watched that bitch, Aurora, wailing.
She was watching Ornard now like how he used to watch her.
When she had been tricked and lost her child and her right to be a mother, Ornard was happy back then like how she was happy now.
Well, karma was a bitch! Bad consequences would always come back to haunt those who did anything bad.
Sooner or later, he would payback for what he had done. Veronica had come here to witness the baby’s death and Ornard’s grief.
She stood at the door with Ornard and Aurora, waiting for the final result. After more than two hours of waiting, the door of the operating room finally opened.
The attending doctor came out. Aurora saw that the door was opened and was the first to rush over. “How’s my son?”
The doctor shook his head and said, “It’s not looking good! You should be mentally prepared!”
“What?” Aurora couldn’t stop herself from falling to the ground. The servants quickly caught hold of her.
Ornard was a little steadier than Aurora. He asked the doctor in a deep voice, “What’s the problem with my son?”
“According to the clinical reaction and the blood circulation report on his body, he was poisoned! A kind of poison that we can’t even identify and is very dangerous.”
“Poisoned? How is that possible?” Aurora retorted in a shrill voice. She had always been the one taking care of the child. Other than the ice cream she hadn’t eaten in the amusement park, she had basically eaten the rest of the food with baby. How could he be poisoned if she was fine? Could it be that there was something wrong with the ice-cream?
Ornard also found it hard to accept the fact. “How could he be poisoned? He’s just a child, and his mother is always beside him. Logically speaking, such a thing shouldn’t have happened.”
“Well, that’s the truth for now. We’ve already tried to save him but the toxins in his blood are too high, and his liver and kidney have been damaged…”
“It’s that serious?” Ornard was worried. Kidney and liver damage meant that the child would not be a normal child anymore. “Is there any way to save him? Money is not a problem here!”
The doctor spread out his hands and said, “It’s not about money. We treat all patients equally and we can only try our best to save him. As for what will happen in the future, we have no clue!”
Veronica could clearly hear from the side that Santhos wasn’t going to die immediately. What was going on?
Could it be that the poison had gone ineffective for too long?
This must be the reason. Even if the son of a bitch could be saved by the doctor, he should be a useless person from now on. It should be more unacceptable for Ornard to keep a useless child hanging around in front of him day and night than to die.
This result was much better than what Veronica had expected. Since the little bastard didn’t die, she had to change her strategy. Veronica looked at Ornard and asked, “Brother, what should we do now?”
What could Ornard do? No matter how rich and capable he was, he was still weak in the face of illness. Seeing that Ornard was silent, Veronica added, “I think you’d better tell Gurmit about baby.”
Ornard didn’t respond for a moment. “Huh?”
“Tell Gurmit that something happened to Santhos! No matter what, he is Gurmit’s child and fathers should know when things happened to their children, right?”
Ornard was enraged by Veronica’s words, but he couldn’t find any words to retort. After all, he used this as an excuse to lie to Veronica. Therefore, he couldn’t humiliate himself now.
Ornard could only suppress his frustration and said, “Let’s talk about it later! He has a lot of things to deal with now. It’s not a good timing to tell him at this time to distract him.”
Veronica then stopped talking about this and said, “Santhos is in the ICU now, and we can’t change anything if we stay here. Why don’t we go back to rest and wait for good news then?”
“I’m not going back. I’m going to stay here and wait for him to wake up!” Aurora glared at Veronica angrily.
“You can’t change anything even if you stay here. It’s a doctor’s business to treat patients. You’re gonna hurt your own body this way. Let’s just go back and wait for the servants to report back to us.”
“I can’t go back. I’m his mother, the closest person to him in this world. If I leave, am I still a mother? Is this what normal human beings do?” Aurora insisted, so Veronica stopped forcing. “Bro, what about you? Are you gonna stay here too?”
Ornard knew that Veronica was right. Santhos’ situation was serious, and he was just worried. The most important thing was that he was starving to death as he hadn’t eaten for more than ten hours. He was a man, not a God.
He couldn’t collapse now because if he did, everything would be over. “I’ve been busy from morning till now and I haven’t eaten anything at all. Let’s have dinner first!”
Hearing that Ornard was going to have dinner, Aurora’s eyes were full of disbelief. Their son’s life was uncertain, but Ornard was in the mood to eat. Why was this man so cruel?
Her heart was filled with resentment, but she couldn’t change Ornard’s decision. Then, she watched as Ornard and Veronica left.
