Chapter 1289
The driver turned to look at the rear-view mirror and panicked when he saw Madeline clutching her stomach with her brows furrowed painfully.
“Where does it hurt, Eveline? Tell Dad,” Sean grabbed Madeline’s shoulder and asked nervously.
Madeline bit her lip at the pain. “I don’t know. My stomach just hurts.”
“Is there a hospital nearby? Quick, go to the hospital!” Sean’s eyes were filled with worry as he ordered the driver.
“Kindred Hospital is nearby. I’ll bring you there!” The driver quickly turned the car around without a moment’s hesitation.
Madeline leaned against Sean’s shoulder as mirth flashed through her seemingly tired eyes.
The car drove into the hospital, and upon arriving, Sean carried Madeline out of the car. Then, he called out to Eloise.
“There are a lot of people in the hospital, Ellie. Follow behind me, okay? Don’t walk too far.” Sean requested, afraid that Eloise would get lost with her current mental state.
“I won’t run off. I’m right behind you.” Eloise nodded seriously as one would expect from a child. Watching Madeline in pain, she frowned. “What happened to Eveline, Sean?”
Sean stared at Madeline in his arms worriedly and turned around. “I don’t know either. Let’s get to the hospital first!”
While being carried into the hospital, Madeline took a look at the driver who was looking for parking from the corners of her eyes. She looked up just as Sean brought her in.
“Let me down, Dad. I’m alright.”
Sean was stunned. His footsteps came to a stop as he looked at Madeline with confusion.
“Eveline, what…”
Sean did not understand, but he slowly placed Madeline back on her feet.
Madeline glanced at the hospital’s entrance. “Just take it as I’m having an episode from my chronic illness. Pretend to line up at the counter for me when the driver comes over later and tell him that Mom and I went to the bathroom.”
“Why, Eveline?” Sean was even more confused.
