“The results of the current consultation are as follows. Some of the stimulation treatments we’veattempted have shown no effect on the patient,” explained the doctor.
Upon hearing this, Stephen and Abigail broke down in tears.
Callum remained completely composed, appearing dazed, and his eyes conveyed a profound silence.
However, his unnerving calmness heightened Rosalie’s concern.
It might have been easier if Callum had displayed his emotions like Stephen and Abigail, but hisrestrained demeanor worried her even more.
Rosalie was anxious that Callum might resort to extreme measures, so she addressed him, “Lillianwon’t remain in this unconscious state. If the doctors in Strico can’t help her, we’ll search the entirecountry if needed or even seek out the world’s leading doctors. Don’t lose hope. Lillian and her childboth depend on you.”
“The child…” Rosalie’s words seemed to trigger something in Callum. He suddenly laughed andretorted, “Why do I need this child? If it weren’t for this child, Lillian wouldn’t be in a coma like this. Thischild shouldn’t even have been-”
Smack!
A resounding slap landed on Callum’s face, delivered by Rosalie.
“Callum White, Lillian risked her life to bring this child into the world. When she wakes up and learnsthat you resent the daughter she cherished more than anything, how do you think she’ll feel? Will sheregret loving the wrong person?” Rosalie admonished.
Callum staggered backward, his eyes reflecting the torment of love and resentment tearing him apart.Eventually, he collapsed onto the couch, utterly dejected.
Rosalie sighed and left the ward, her hand still aching from the force of the slap she had delivered. Ithad been a powerful blow, and she had used all her strength. But she couldn’t bear the thought ofCallum resenting the newborn baby.novelbin
That child was Lillian’s most precious treasure.
Meanwhile, Amelia, who had left the ward with Rosalie, fell into deep contemplation, lost in thought.
“What’s wrong, Amelia?” Rosalie inquired.
“I’m wondering if that little boy could awaken Lillian. When I was in the delivery room, he fed Lillian asmall amount of his blood, and she regained consciousness. Given her current condition, perhaps if wewere to administer some of the boy’s blood now…” Amelia voiced her idea.
Rosalie’s eyes suddenly sparkled. “You’re right! The boy, why didn’t I think of him sooner?” she mused.
“Yes, we must find him. We need to locate that little boy. Maybe he can save Lillian!” Rosalie exclaimedexcitedly to Amelia. “I’m going to find Jon right now and ask him to figure out a way to locate the boy.”
With those words, Rosalie hurried out of the hospital. Amelia let out a small sigh of relief as shewatched her friend depart.
She hoped they could find the little boy and that he could truly rouse Lillian from her unconscious state.
“Jonathan… should be able to figure out a way to find the little boy,” Amelia thought. After a while, shehesitantly took out her phone and dialed Warren’s number.
“Warren, I hope you can do me a favor!”
In the following days, the Youngblood family, White family, and York family all embarked on a relentlesssearch for the enigmatic little boy. They started from the hospital’s surveillance cameras, combedthrough the area, and scoured almost every inch of Strico.
However, their efforts proved fruitless.
The little boy had clearly mastered the art of evading surveillance, deliberately steering clear oflocations with surveillance cameras after leaving the hospital.
Upon hearing the updates from Jonathan’s team, Rosalie couldn’t help but feel anxious and blameherself. “If only I had known, I would have held onto that boy’s hand that day and never let go!”
Had she done so, they might not be grappling with the challenge of locating the boy now.
She had sensed the boy’s uniqueness from the start, but she couldn’t even pinpoint when he had leftthe delivery room.
“Don’t blame yourself. Your focus was on Lillian and her child,” Jonathan reassured her. “And as longas the boy remains in Strico, we can eventually find him.”
“But I fear that the longer this search takes, the harder it will be to wake Lillian.” Rosalie sighed.
Initially, the little boy had rekindled Callum’s hope. However, in these past few days, Rosalie couldsense that Callum was once again being consumed by despair.
“But, according to your accounts of the incidents, it appears the child cares deeply about Lillian’s baby,”Jonathan suddenly said.
“Yes, when Lillian’s fetal movements were intense, the boy appeared suddenly. Placing his hand onLillian’s stomach seemed to calm the baby, and after that, if the boy hadn’t cleared the baby’s airway,
the child might have suffocated.” Rosalie contemplated and added, “Considering the child’s attachmentto the baby, can we try using the baby as bait to draw him out?”
Since they couldn’t find him, Rosalie thought it might be wise to take the initiative and entice him toreveal himself.
Jonathan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he sported a smile. “It’s worth a try.”
Following this decision, a news report about the newborn daughter of Callum, the chairman of theWhite Maple Group, in critical condition was published in the newspaper. The situation quicklyescalated online.
After the report was published, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in the pediatricsdepartment late at night.
“You came just as we expected,” Rosalie remarked, gazing at the little boy in front of her, accompaniedby the middle-aged man she had seen earlier.
The boy fixed his gaze on those before him and blinked his large, expressive eyes, almost as if heunderstood the situation. “So you sent out that report? Trying to lure me out?”
“Yes,” Rosalie admitted, “because we couldn’t find you, we had to resort to this method.”
“So, the baby isn’t in critical condition?” inquired the boy.
“The baby is stable,” Rosalie responded. “We brought you here hoping you could save the baby’smother. She has been in a coma since giving birth and hasn’t woken up. You managed to rouse herfrom her coma during delivery. Do you have a way to awaken her now?” Rosalie pleaded. Nearly alltheir hopes rested on this mysterious boy. “If you can save Lillian, we’ll do our best to accommodateyour requests.”
However, the little boy responded coldly, “I refuse.” It seemed he was indifferent to Lillian’s fate.
