Roxanne was hopping mad when she heard his accusation.
"You couldn't stop his diarrhea since his admission yesterday.What does that prove? You are lousy because you failed to find the cause of his illness!" she countered.
"You...It takes time for the medication to take effect! There is no miracle drug that can instantly cure someone."
Her unreasonable expectations frustrated the doctor.
"Well, of course there are.He is a five-year-old kid.Don't you know it can be fatal for him if you can't stop his diarrhea?"
Her words hit Kane like a thunderbolt, who became extremely worried and flustered at the limp little figure in his arms.
"Enough! Get the car," he ordered.
"Huh?"
Kylo was shocked, but Roxanne, on the other hand, was elated.
"Yes, let's go.You can't go wrong taking my advice!" she declared.
She had every reason to be confident as a doctor.
In some aspects, she was also a genius.
Kane rushed Matteo to Roxanne's research laboratory.
True enough, his condition stabilized after she gave him a dose of medication.
"See! I told you it was a fungi poisoning."
"Fungi poisoning? What fungi?" He took his eyes off his son and turned to ask.
"Fungi are mushrooms.But the strange thing is the mushrooms in the market are all edible and safe for consumption.How did your son get sick? What did he eat at his grandpa's place?"
Kane could not give Roxanne an answer because he was away from his kids during this period.
Noting his silence, she added, "This could lead to fatal consequences.What if there is a delay and something bad happens to him?"
Kane's face paled.
He vowed he would let nothing untoward happen to his kids, but the fact was, it nearly happened.
He could not imagine what would have happened if he had come back a little later, or Roxanne wasn't around.
He stood by Matteo's bedside, devastated, and clutched his son's tiny hand.
His heart filled with guilt and self-blame.
"I know you are extremely busy, but since you brought him into this world, you have to be responsible for him.What is more important—money or his life?"
Roxanne could not help but nag.
