Queen Revenge

When I heard that something had happened to my child, my whole heart was in my throat.

“Doctor, what happened to my child?”

“Lung infection, resulting in respiratory impairment, life-threatening, need your family to sign a critical notice …”

The doctor said a string of words, the phrase life-threatening was like a heavy hammer hitting hard on my heart, hurting me so much that I couldn’t catch my breath.

The doctor had told me that my child was not doing well, and at that time, the doctor had told me all the possible consequences, but I was still thinking of giving it a try, that my child would pull through, and that I couldn’t give up just like that.

I didn’t expect the worst to happen.

My vision became blurry and Jane Hasis comforted me, “Just lie down and rest, the baby will be fine.”

She gave the doctor a wink and went out with him.

It was a long time before Jane Hasis came back and I asked anxiously, “How is the baby?”

“Don’t worry, the baby is fine, a false alarm.” Jane Hasis smiled and said, “Don’t think about it, get some rest, I’ll keep an eye on the child’s side for you, right now your body is important, only when you’re rested can you be discharged from the hospital with the child by then.”

“It’s really okay?” I was a bit unconvinced by her words.

“Mom would lie to you.” Jane Hasis tucked me in, “This hospital is the best pediatric hospital in North City, not to mention that your child was only born a month prematurely, even those who were born with only a pound or so can be saved.”

This hospital is indeed the best in North City.

That’s when I took Jane Hasis at her word.

And that’s when Ulysses Will called, Martin Mo’s side is fine, the police just summoned him over for questioning,.

I was so relieved to hear this good news that I laid down to get some rest.

I was so tired that I closed my eyes for a while and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already afternoon, and there was no one in the hospital room, and I didn’t know where Jane Hasis had gone.

I rang the call bell and the nurse came in quickly, “Can I help you?”

“I wanted to ask, where did my mom go?”

“I just watched her go downstairs, let me help you if you need anything.”

What was Jane Hasis doing downstairs at this hour?

“I need to use the restroom, would you mind lifting my IV bag for me?”

“No problem.”

The nurse came back after helping me to the toilet, Fiona Croix arrived just in time, she put down the stewed fish soup, “Is it any better?”

“Fine.” I said, “Fiona, help me check on the baby in the NICU, I’m a little uneasy.”

Fiona Croix’s eyes flickered as she served the fish soup for me, “You drink the soup first, I’ll go see it for you later.”

After not eating for a long time, I got hungry from the smell of the fish soup.

I drank a few mouthfuls to pad my belly.

“Did you see her when you came?”

I didn’t need to name names for Fiona Croix to know who I was talking about.

“Saw her, I think she went out, it’s this time of the day, I think she went to get something to eat.” Fiona Croix asked me, “Is there enough fish soup, there’s more here.”

“Enough.” Although I was hungry, I didn’t have much of an appetite, a few mouthfuls of fish soup made me not feel hungry, and I didn’t want to eat anything else, I thought about Martin Mo and asked, “Have you contacted Martin Mo yet?”

Since he’s all right, with his character he should have come to the hospital, it’s been a day and I haven’t seen anyone.

“No.” Fiona Croix has not looked at me when she spoke, “I heard Ulysses Will say about Martin Mo, Martin Mo was summoned to the police station is just going through the procedures, nothing is wrong, don’t worry about it, your main task now is to lie down and have a good rest, don’t worry about anything else. ”

I always felt that Fiona Croix was hiding something from me.

I fixedly stared at her, “Fiona, are you telling the truth? It’s really nothing?”

“It’s fine.” Fiona Croix laughed: “Ulysses Will did not give you a phone call, we can still lie to you, right, I also got you steamed eggs, you eat some more, what else do you want to eat, you tell me, I will go back to give you a good bring.”

“It’s all fine.”

As soon as I said that, Martin Mo called, he was calling Fiona Croix’s cell phone, Fiona Croix showed me, “Look what I said, he’s fine, I’ll take the call first.”

Fiona Croix gets on and puts her on speaker, before Martin Mo can say anything she snaps, “Martin Mo, I’m at the hospital right now, Alva is worried about you, she still doesn’t believe me, tell her yourself.”

“Alva, are you feeling better?” Martin Mo’s voice came out through the handset, “My company encountered something, I won’t go over to see you for the time being, I’ll come over after I’m done.”

“Okay, you go ahead and do your thing.”

Hearing his voice, I was completely relieved.

Fiona Croix chatted with Martin Mo a few more times and hung up.

It was dark before Jane Hasis came back, she brought some food and brought toiletries.

I was in the hospital for four days, the baby was in the NICU the whole time, and every time I asked Jane Hasis, she said the baby was fine and not to worry.

Ulysses WillFiona Croix came to see me every day as well, and when I mentioned the baby, they both reassured me to get well.

Martin Mo only came to see me once, stayed for a few minutes and left.

There was something strange about these people, they always felt like they were hiding something from me, and it made me feel very uneasy.

On the day I was discharged from the hospital, I asked my child to come back with me, but Jane Hasis and Fiona Croix said, “The doctor said the child has to stay in the hospital for seven days, so he can’t be discharged yet, so we’ll go home first, and come back to pick up the child in a couple of days.”

Their words made me suspicious.

While Fiona Croix and Jane Hasis went to do the discharge procedures, I went to the NICU in my wheelchair.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I couldn’t feel comfortable until I saw the baby for myself.

When I got to the NICU nurse’s station, I asked, “I’m in bed 16, how’s my baby doing, I’d like to see.”

“Let me see the information.” The nurse looked up the information on the computer and asked me, “Bed 16, it’s called Leung Mei Zee, right, the baby is fine.”

I corrected, “No, it’s Alva Hill, not Leung Mei Chi.”

“This computer shows that it’s Liang Meizi ah, bed 16 is right, gave birth to a seven catty six taels daughter, the baby has a bit of fever was transferred to our neonatal unit.”

The nurse’s words made me feel even more panicked, “No, it’s Alva Hill, gave birth to a five pound six taels son, before the doctor said my son had a lung infection, I just came to ask how it’s going now.”

The nurse was also puzzled, at this time, the head nurse came over and said, “You are from bed number 16 on the sixth floor, right, why did you come here to look for your child, your child wasn’t in the NICU three days ago, it wasn’t resuscitated at that time, and it was your mother who signed for the child to be taken away.”

The head nurse’s words were like a bomb that exploded in her head.

It took a long time to find his voice.

“What do you mean it wasn’t resuscitated?”

My child, my child …

“I want to see my child, you’re bullshitting me, my child is fine, what are you babbling about.”

I instantly lost control of my emotions and growled, the nurse practitioner’s words made me tremble with fear.
