“We can’t wait any longer. I’m taking him to the hospital,” Ken said firmly, reaching out to pick up Shane.

Clarissa stopped him in panic. “Let’s wait for Zion.”

She insisted on waiting for Zev to go to the hospital with her.

If he didn’t come, she refused to leave.

Ken’s expression darkened as he glanced at Wade.

Even with his aging eyesight, Wade should have seen it by now–Clarissa had no real motherly love for the child All she saw was an opportunity to use him.

Wade’s face also darkened. He touched Shane’s burning forehead before turnin the hospital first. I’ll deal with Zion.”

Ken. “Take the child to

Clarissa quickly noticed Wade’s displeasure and hastily tried to explain. “Grandpa … I’m really worried about Shane too. I just … I just wanted Zion to show more concern for his child.”

As she spoke, tears began to fall.

She had a real talent for acting–always knowing exactly how to smooth over Wade’s emotions.

Wade nodded. “Take Shane to the hospital first. I’ll go get Zion.”

“Don’t bother looking for him. He’s just a rough guy who’ll only make things worse. He can’t help with the child’s illness at all. I’m a doctor–you should have thought of me first.” Kelly shoved aside the assistant blocking the doorway and walked straight to the bed to check on Shane.

Clarissa’s face changed drastically as she stepped forward to stop Kelly. “What are you trying to do? Don’t touch my son! Call Zion–he’s his son, too. Why isn’t he doing anything?”

“Why are you yelling? You had a child out of wedlock, and you still have the nerve to shout? Aren’t you embarrassed?” Kelly looked at Clarissa coldly, completely unfazed.

She had survived two battles in Oasisvale–once fragile her heart and soul were now terrifyingly strong.

“Great–grandpa … “Shane choked out, his voice trembling.

“Shane? Don’t be scared. I’m here.” Wade stomped his foot anxiously as he watched Shane continue to convulse.

Kelly pushed Clarissa aside and quickly stepped forward to check on the child.

Wade tried to stop her, but Ken held him back.

Kelly checked Shane’s pupils, felt his forehead and underarms, then swiftly picked him up and removed his soaked, wet clothes. “Clarissa, are you crazy? He’s just a child, and you drenched him in cold water?!”

Clarissa was briefly stunned before scrambling to explain. “What are you talking about?

“Grandpa … Don’t listen to her. He has a fever and is sweating–that’s why his clothes are wet.”

“A child this young running a fever soaked through his clothes? And you call yourself from a family of doctors? If it were that bad, he’d already be dehydrated and unconscious. There wouldn’t be a trace of sweat left. You know the truth better than anyone!” Kelly didn’t waste any more words. She carried the child to the bathroom and gently rinsed him with warm water in the bathtub..

“Grandpa … no, it’s not like that… I was just trying to cool him down by wiping him with cold water because of his fever … ” Clarissa hastily changed her excuse.

Wade stood still, silent.

He had no doubts about Kelly’s medical expertise.

Setting aside personal opinions, the fact that Kelly had once served in the peacekeeping force proved she was more than qualified.”

After rinsing Shane with warm water, Kelly wrapped him in a towel and dried

hair.

The little boy kept trembling, his tiny body curled against Kelly’s shoulder as he sobbed.

She could have gently coaxed the truth out of him, but she didn’t. If he spoke up now, Clarissa would undoubtedly take it out on him once everyone else was gone.

He was just a child … Being under Clarissa’s care was nothing short of tragic.

“His temperature is dropping–it’s down to 100.4 degrees. Don’t bother taking him to the hospital. The wind on the way will only make it worse,” Kelly said, calling for a medicine delivery. She mixed the ‘children’s medicine into warm water and tried to coax Shane into drinking it.

But Shane, afraid of the bitter taste, frowned and refused.

Kelly opened a box of soft candies and gently coaxed him. “Be good, Shane. Drink your medicine, and you can have some candy, okay?”
