Chapter 498<\/p>\n
Just as Cherise finished speaking. Hank let out a sigh of relief, a Clara slowly opened her eyes.<\/p>\n
With her frail, thin fingers, Clara weakly tugged on Cherise\u2019s picky. \u201cMs. Leach, did I faint again as soon as you arrived? Hank, am I getting worse? I even saw my parents from my dream coming to take me home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clara\u2019s voice was weak, and her face looked pale.<\/p>\n
Cherise pursed her lips, reaching out to gently hold Clara\u2019s delicate hand. \u201cClara, would you like to be able to eat lollipops and cake, like the other kids?\u201d<\/p>\n
Though Clara didn\u2019t have much strength, she nodded and met Cherise\u2019s gaze.<\/p>\n
Clara\u2019s eyes were clear and pure, filled with innocent longing as she spoke. \u201cI do. I really do.\u201d<\/p>\n
That simple sentence hit Cherise right in the heart.<\/p>\n
She smiled. \u201cAlright, Clara, you need to listen to the doctors and me. We\u2019ll fight this illness together. It might take time, but once you\u2019re feeling better, I\u2019ll buy you some delicious cake and sweets, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
Clara nodded again. She had heard Hank and Maeve talk about how capable Cherise was. She smiled faintly, a sweet little dimple appearing on her cheek.<\/p>\n
At Betrico Hospital\u2019s Specialized Pediatric Ward, only Cherise, Maeve, and Hank had accompanied Clara.<\/p>\n
The others, including Hugh, stayed at the orphanage to look after the remaining four kids.<\/p>\n
At the door to the ward, the dean Edmund stood in front of Cherise, holding a test report. \u201cClara\u2019s numbers are not looking good. I hate to say it, but her parents, who abandoned her right after she was born, are really inhumane.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey must have known about her condition from the start and chose to abandon her.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough this disease can be managed with proper treatment, and it won\u2019t affect her work or studies once she grows up, if she doesn\u2019t stick to the treatment, the complications could be fatal.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the medication\u2026 it\u2019s a lifelong commitment. The costs aren\u2019t low. But she\u2019s an orphan. I\u2019ve reviewed everything, and we\u2019ll have to go with the most conservative approach for now. Clara is still young. What do you think?<\/p>\n
\u201cOr do you have another approach in mind, maybe acupuncture or traditional medicine?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise furrowed her brow, taking the test report from Edmund and carefully reading each item. After a brief moment of thought, she spoke. \u201cThere will definitely be a solution, but not right now. I need to optimize things a bit more.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor now, you can keep her here. Please monitor her numbers closely, and if anything changes, give me a call.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edmund nodded. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll keep an eye on her.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Cherise finished her conversation with Edmund, Hank and Maeve had just come out of the room.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s too weak. After the injection, she fell asleep again,\u201d Hank said as soon as he saw Cherise.<\/p>\n

Maeve turned to Cherise and spoke. \u201cMs. Leach, thank you so much. This happened on your first visit to our orphanage. Hank, you go back to watch over the other kids. I\u2019ll stay here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank shook his head. \u201cI know a little about medicine. I\u2019ll stay, so I can keep an eye on things. Ms. Leach, go ahead and go<\/p>\n
home.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s late, and your family might be worried. Plus, once you rest, you\u2019ll come up with a good plan to help Clara, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise glanced at the time. \u201cAlright, I\u2019ll head back now. Give me one day to handle Clara\u2019s situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
She nodded to both of them and turned to leave.<\/p>\n
Maeve, confused, asked Hank, \u201cHank, what did Ms. Leach mean? I don\u2019t quite understand.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank smiled faintly, looking at Cherise\u2019s receding figure. \u201cClara should soon be able to live like a normal child, without the constant burden of type 1 diabetes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maeve\u2019s eyes lit up, and she slapped her thigh. \u201cRight! How could I forget that Ms. Leach is a renowned professor in the Traditional Medicine Department at Betrico University? Clara will be saved now. This is fantastic\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Just then, a nurse from the Specialized Pediatric Ward passed by. Maeve quickly stopped her. \u201cMiss, where can I pay for Clara\u2019s fees? This is my first time at Betrico Hospital, and I\u2019m not familiar with the place.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaeve, take care of Clara. I\u2019ll go handle the payment.\u201d Hank offered, not wanting to trouble her with money matters.<\/p>\n
The nurse, smiling brightly, waved her hand. \u201cOh, no need. Ms. Leach, who came with you earlier, has already taken care of everything. I swear I\u2019ve heard of her before, but seeing her in person is just\u2026 breathtaking.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nurse was chatty, unable to stop talking once she started.<\/p>\n
Hank and Maeve exchanged a glance, both a little stunned.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis\u2026 this isn\u2019t right, is it? Ms. Leach is just too kind. It feels wrong to let her pay for everything,\u201d Maeve said, feeling a bit awkward.<\/p>\n
Hank adjusted his glasses and shrugged. \u201cIt\u2019s fine. She really is a good person, with a heart warmer than anyone else. I\u2019ll repay her eventually.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank turned to the nurse. \u201cThank you for letting us know.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nurse waved her hand dismissively. \u201cNo problem! It\u2019s a perfect chance for me to observe Ms. Leach up close. Also, she asked me to give you a message.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank raised an eyebrow. \u201cWhat\u2019s the message?\u201d<\/p>\n
The nurse grinned. \u201cShe said not to worry. Just focus on preparing for the Global Medical Association\u2019s PK competition.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-521","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
