All Too Late novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399 One Chance

Kathleen ordered, “Draw some blood, and bring it to the lab for testing.”

The doctor immediately called a nurse over to carry out those orders.

Meanwhile, Kathleen gave the little girl a brief check.

Her voice was soft as she spoke. “Hey there, can you hear me?”

The little girl’s eyes remained shut.

“Can you hear my voice?” Kathleen tried calling out again.

This time, the girl slowly opened her eyes in a daze.

“You’re awake. What’s your name?” asked Kathleen.

“Where’s Madeline…” The girl was very confused.

“Don’t worry about her. She’s fine. What’s your name?” Kathleen asked again after reassuring the girl.

“Felicia. My name is Felicia…” After answering the question, the little girl passed out again.

The doctor furrowed his brows lightly. “Dr. Johnson?”

“Where’s the report?” Kathleen stood up.

The nurse came running over. “It’s here, Dr. Johnson!”

Kathleen scanned through it. “Her platelet levels are low. Everything else is showing abnormal levels as well. She might have leukemia.”

The doctor and the other nurses were stunned.

“Take her to a ward for now. Find a way to contact her family,” said Kathleen.

“Got it.” The doctor nodded.

Kathleen turned around and went out.

Just then, Federick came running over. “Kate!”

“Federick, Madeline has already been admitted into a ward. Her head is injured. We’ll have to wait for the CT scan results to determine more,” explained Kathleen.

Federick’s hands were cold. “Will she be all right?”

“Don’t worry, Federick. You have me,” comforted Kathleen. “Let’s go to the ward and take a look at her.”

“Okay.” He choked up slightly.

Soon, they arrived at the ward.

Gemma was currently taking care of Madeline.

When she saw Federick, she greeted him solemnly, “Hey, Federick.”

Federick went over. When he saw Madeline lying in bed, her face devoid of colors, tears streamed down his cheeks.

“Recently, Madeline’s condition has improved a lot.” Federick dabbed his tears.

“Sometimes, she’ll speak to us. Although her sentences are simple, it still makes us very happy.”

“This past week, she has been taking the dog for walks in the morning,” he added bitterly. “We knew that it wasn’t safe for her to go out alone. However, as you all know, it was a good chance for us to train her. Yesterday, my mom’s leg was acting up. She couldn’t even walk today, so I stayed home to watch her. I never expected…”

His voice trailed off, and by then, he was sobbing uncontrollably.

Kathleen and Gemma exchanged looks with each other before going up to him.

“Federick, don’t worry. Madeline will be fine,” said Kathleen caringly.

“That’s right. Don’t be like this. Madeline will recover soon enough,” Gemma chimed in.

“Yeah.” Federick wiped his tears away. Staring at Madeline, he felt his heart ache.

“Dad… Dad…” Suddenly, Madeline started to speak.

Federick was stunned for a moment.

He raised his head and stared at her daughter. “Madeline, you’re awake?”

“Dad… Dad…” Madeline cried out.

“I’m right here!” He grabbed hold of her hand. “Are you in pain? Tell me!”

“No.” Madeline raised her hand above her head. “The girl…”

“Madeline, that little girl’s name is Felicia. She’s still in the emergency room right now, but there’s no need to worry. Nothing will happen to her,” Kathleen replied reassuringly.

Madeline turned her head to the side. “Ms. Johnson!”

“Yes, it’s me.” Kathleen held her hand. “Be good. Don’t touch your injuries.”

“Is she okay?” Madeline asked.

Kathleen nodded. “Yes, she’s fine. There’s nothing for you to worry about. Got it?”

“Mhm.” Madeline nodded. “Dad, what about the dog?”

“The dog ran back home by itself. Once you get discharged from the hospital, you’ll be able to see it again.”

Madeline sighed in relief.

Kathleen and Gemma exchanged smiles.
