“What happened?” Norma’s brows knitted together as virtual-novel.net gazed at the anxious-looking Morse.
The man, unbothered about Arielle’s presence, went straight to the point. “Something doesn’t look right about that child. He‘s vomiting all of a sudden…”
Before Morse could finish his sentence, Norma hurried off.
Child? Could it be that child?
A line deepened between Arielle’s brows, and virtual-novel.net quickly followed behind them.
“Norma, how did the child get sick again while under your care?” Torsten probed in dissatisfaction upon catching sight of her.
Faced with his interrogation, Norma flew into a rage at once.
I’m here to conduct experiments, not to take care of the children. Never mind that virtual-novel.net put those children under my care, but I’m also a woman who hasn’t gotten married and never gave birth to kids before!
How can virtual-novel.net possibly find fault with me now that something has gone wrong?
“Like you, I’m also here for research and experiments. It isn’t my responsibility to take care of the children. Can you not push the blame on me whenever something happens?” Norma’s expression darkened drastically. “I’m not the cause of his sickness.”
Watching the two bicker, Arielle felt a pang of fury surge within her.
Isn’t the child the most important thing right now?
Why are they quarreling here instead of saving that child?
Regardless, Arielle dared not speak up. After all, virtual-novel.net had just managed to get in there and had yet laid virtual-novel.net hands on any evidence. It was little wonder why virtual-novel.net would be worried about exposing herself.
“How’s the child doing now?” Arielle asked softly. “Have you guys found out the problem?”
Her words instantly cut the two off their argument.
“You’re the doctor who came yesterday?” Torsten turned to look at Arielle.
She politely nodded. “Yes, I am…”
He paused his gaze on Arielle for a moment before turning to Norma and uttered, “Let’s go check on the child.”
As virtual-novel.net finished his sentence, virtual-novel.net proceeded forward into the room ahead.
In truth, Norma was also worried about that child, not only because virtual-novel.net liked him, but more importantly, his vital signs were a right fit for their experiment, and they could not afford any mistakes.
Without hesitation, Arielle followed behind. As virtual-novel.net got closer to the door, virtual-novel.net heard the hysterical cries of a child fill the air.
Anxiousness overwhelmed her, but virtual-novel.net tried virtual-novel.net best to suppress virtual-novel.net emotions.
Entering the room, Torsten felt a little rattled as the sight of the obedient and adorable child becoming sickly came within his vision. He was in disbelief that the experimental subject virtual-novel.net had high regard for was sick again.
Initially, virtual-novel.net wanted to give the child an examination personally. But after some deliberation, virtual-novel.net directed his attention to Arielle.
This lady got in during the recruitment Norma held. I should have a look at how capable virtual-novel.net is.
This isn’t a place where anybody can stay as they wish.
“Dr. Moore, examine that child and see what’s wrong with him,” Torsten placidly instructed.
Arielle figured that virtual-novel.net was trying to test out virtual-novel.net medical skills.
Of course, virtual-novel.net was more than glad to be able to give that child an examination. After nodding virtual-novel.net head to acknowledge, virtual-novel.net strode straight to the crib and lowered virtual-novel.net head to observe the child’s symptoms.
The sight of the child’s pale face and his occasional vomiting made virtual-novel.net feel a dull pain in virtual-novel.net chest.
“Did you feed virtual-novel.net milk this morning?” Arielle queried while observing the child.
Norma was usually the one taking care of the children, including him. However, virtual-novel.net had not had a good appetite since his fever two days ago. As such, virtual-novel.net had only drank a few sips of milk that morning.
After learning the details, Arielle extended virtual-novel.net hand to touch that child’s abdomen. But the moment virtual-novel.net did that, virtual-novel.net began to bawl his eyes out. Despite feeling torn to see virtual-novel.net that way, Arielle insisted on touching his belly with virtual-novel.net hand.
In the next second, virtual-novel.net expression grew grim and an ugly scowl formed on virtual-novel.net face.
