My dear lawyer novel Chapter 32

Only when seeing others playing with their parents, Roe felt envy. But he is good at covering his envy up.

After all, he was still a child. Vivian could see it even if he pretended to be fine, but she couldn't tell him the truth. When he was older, she would tell him everything.

When the car stopped at the gate of the provincial hospital, Vivian put away her vulnerability and became strong again. She took $500 out of her bag and gave it to the driver. "Sir, thank you." she said.

"You don't have to pay that much. $200 for gas is fine. You have a kid and have to spend more money." The driver didn't charge so much, so he took $200 dollars as a token.

"Sir, it's okay. You deserve it." Vivian is even more sorry for his trouble.

"I charge you $200, it is also enough to earn, the child is still sick, to go to a hospital in a hurry."

The driver is nearly 50 years old, and he has a child at home who is about at the same age as Vivian. Considering that she is independent engough to support her family while his daughter at home can only act in pettish and ask for money.

Vivian saw the driver insisted not to accept, also did not continue reluctantly. After thanking for the driver, she declined to driver's kindness, holding Roe off into the hospital.

In the evening, only the emergency department was available. Vivian was carrying a baby and a bag, and she had to pay the money, registered and went to the doctor.

After finishing all the things, she also gave a layer of sweat. Even if tired and her heel was pain, she did not show at all.

Vivian waited for the doctor to take the stethoscope off Roe and nervously asked, "Doctor, how's the baby?"

"Nothing serious, he just caught a cold, the baby is weak so the high fever does not retreat, and he needs to take an injection of antipyretic."

The doctor paused and said pityingly," You must have known that the child has a heart problem. You should bring him early. It would be a problem if it developed into pneumonia."

"I know. I've failed in my duty. I'll take care of him later." Vivian listened to the doctor and felt a little scared. If Roe's fever turned into pneumonia, she would certainly delay the later operation. In that case, she might not have the money to wait for a chance.

The doctor saw that Vivian was so late, alone with her child, sweating profuse and unable to take a rest, so he asked the nurse to help.

Vivian thanked him and went with the nurse to the ward.

Thanks the doctor over and over again, Roe got a needle. During the whole process, Roe did not cry. When the needle was inserted into the back of his hand, he just frowned in order not to let Vivian worry about it.

At night, there were only two patients the ward with them.

Vivian called her grandmother and told her something about Roe. Finally, she had a rest. When she stood and walked, she didn't feel anything.

Vivian saw Roe looking at her with bright eyes and without unnecessary changes in his face.

"Is it hurt here, Roe?" Vivian fingered her chest.

"No." Roe shook his head.

He always knew that his health was not good, and he could not do vigorous exercise like other children. It had become a routine for him to take injections and take medicine, but he did not want his mother to worry, so he behaved bravely all the time.

"Well, are you still sleepy? If you want water or food, please tell me." Vivian was relieved. As long as it wasn't a heart attack, there might not be anything wrong.

Roe said cleverly in a childish voice, "Mom, I am neighther sleepy, nor thirsty."
