"What?"
Helen's face also changed when she heard that.
The two of them quickly checked the baby's temperature, and it was 38. 5 degrees Celsius.
All of a sudden, Victoria felt that her mind was in a mess. Fortunately, Helen was experienced, so she comforted Victoria in a hurry, "Don't panic. It is just 38. 5, which is not too serious for a baby. Let's go to the hospital now. It will be fine."
Victoria nodded in a daze.
Victoria had a drink at night, so she couldn't drive.
To her embarrassment, Helen couldn't drive either.
The villa they lived in was a rich area. There were taxis passing by, but it would take at least ten minutes to stop a taxi outside the ring road.
It was closer to the Pinewood Manor from here, and they would arrive in five or six minutes. But it was so late now, so it was not a good idea to bother them. On the other hand, she didn't know if Natalia had come back.
Victoria was so anxious with the baby in her arms. While comforting her, Helen tried to call a car in with her mobile phone.
However, even if a car came in at midnight, it would take more than ten minutes.
Just then, Victoria suddenly saw a black off-road vehicle parking not far away.
The car was a little familiar. On the driver's seat, there was a spark lighting and extinguishing, as if someone was smoking.
Victoria made up her mind. She gritted her teeth and ran over with the baby in her arms.
"Victoria, where are you going?"
Helen hurried to follow her.
Victoria ran to the car and smashed the door hard.
The door opened, revealing the man's cold and handsome face.
It was really Charlie!
She should have been angry when she saw this face, but at this time, she seemed to see a Savior, and her eyes turned red.
"Charlie, take us to the hospital. I beg you, please!"
Charlie frowned.
He took a look at the baby in her arms and his face changed slightly. Then he suddenly threw the cigarette butt far away from the window.
He didn't say anything, nor did he ask anything. He said in a deep voice, "Get in the car!"
Victoria held the baby in her arms and sat on the passenger seat.
At the same time, Helen also followed her. She was surprised to see her get in a stranger's car.
Victoria didn't have much time to explain to her. She just signaled Helen to get in the car as soon as possible. Then they drove to the hospital.
After all, Charlie was a car racer and racing was what he did.
At this time, regardless of the traffic lights on the roads, he sped all the way, and it just took them ten minutes to finish the long trip that should have taken half an hour.
They arrived at the hospital soon.
Victoria handed the baby to the doctor. The checking result came out soon.
The child caught a cold because of the chill. In addition, his skin and iris were yellowing, which was predicted to be jaundice. More details could be confirmed after further examination.
Victoria's face turned pale as soon as she heard the word "jaundice". She collapsed onto the chair.
The doctor comforted, "it's not a rare phenomenon for a newborn to have jaundice. Although it happens to this baby a little late, it might not be a bad thing. Moreover, it has been found early, so it's generally not dangerous."
Victoria felt a little relieved.
The baby was soon taken away by the doctor for a further examination, and the fever was brought down with medicine.
Victoria followed him closely, afraid that something bad would happen to the baby.
The baby caught a cold and had a fever at home. Helen felt guilty and began to blame herself because of the lack of care. She was even ashamed to look at Victoria.
Charlie had a general understanding of what had happened, but he was much calmer than Victoria and Helen, both of whom were in low spirits.
