Stella suddenly remembered something, “The new toxin Justin said before, the box...the box is still with me...”
She came out of Clarence’s arms and wanted to go get it, but Clarence grabbed her wrist.
He whispered, “Calm down please. It has nothing to do with the toxin, nor the box.”
“Then… What’s wrong with it?”
At this time, Archer’s voice came, “His condition is more serious than before.”
These words, like a muffled thunder, stroke Stella’s heart hard.
Her face turned pale in an instant. She murmured, “Isn’t it saying that he’s getting better? We have been treating it for so long in Riverside City...”
Clarence noticed the trembling of her body and held her hand tightly. “It’s not as serious as you imagine, don’t worry. Huh?”
The little guy was crying like this… How could Stella not be worried.
She only felt that her whole body had lost strength now. She might have fallen down at any time, if she hadn’t leaned on Clarence.
At this time, the medicine probably went effected. And the little guy gradually stopped crying. He was now sobbing his eyes closed.
Dolores stepped forward and said to Archer, “Give me the child. I’ll take him in to sleep.”
After Dolores took the little guy into the bedroom, Stella looked at Archer, “What on earth is going on?”
Archer scratched his head, “Well, it’s complicated. You know, no one can guarantee the effect of the treatment or something like that. There could be a chance of recurrence. Judging from the current symptoms, it is indeed more serious than before. But if you think about it from another perspective, it’s also good news, right? We can at least know where the defect of previous treatment is, so that we can improve it, and provide a better treatment plan.”
Stella closed her eyes, unable to say a word.
She knew that what Archer said was right, but she couldn’t convince herself. They had just witnessed that the little guy was just getting better, and it had to continue the treatment endlessly.
With that treatment conducted day after day, it is difficult to accept even for an adult, let alone a child who didn’t know anything.
Clarence frowned slightly and glanced at Archer, who immediately understood. Archer then said, “This... this treatment won’t take a long time now… We can just make certain improvements on the basis of the previous one. Not to mention that you will deliver the baby within a few months. If the surgery goes on successfully, then there is no need to do any treatment after that. All you have to do now is to take good care of your body and give birth to a healthy child. “
After a long time, Stella asked in a low voice, “Then do you need to go back to Riverside City?”
“Nah.”
It was Clarence who answered her.
He said slowly, “The equipment is all ready here, and you can receive treatment here.”
Archer also said, “That’s right. You still got me here. You can rest assured.”
Stella lowered her head and said nothing.
Clarence took her by the shoulder. “Okay, just go back to sleep.”
Stella looked up at him, “You go to sleep first, I want to be with him tonight.”
Regarding the situation tonight, Clarence did not refuse, but whispered, “Have a good rest.”
She nodded lightly, “I know.”
After Clarence and Archer left, Stella opened the bedroom door and said in a low voice, “Mom, go to sleep. I’ll accompany him.”
The little guy had just fallen asleep on the bed. He still had tears on his face.
Dolores got up and walked up to her, “Stella, it will be fine.”
Stella forced a smile, “Mom, I’m fine, I just want to accompany him.”
