Blizzard First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 328

This gave Adrian the opening he needed. He grabbed her and pulled her away.

“If you don’t want him to get hurt any worse, you’ll come with me to see the boy.”

“Julian.” Kate had left men behind, but they wouldn't necessarily have the upper hand in a fight. Julian’s wound wasn't life-threatening, but it needed to heal. If it kept reopening, he could get a fatal infection. “I’ll go take a look. It’s fine. Don’t move. Go back and lie down.”

But Julian followed them anyway.

One of Kate’s men brought him a wheelchair.

Oliver’s room was crowded with people.

Isabel’s gaze swept across the room and landed on a familiar face: Dr. Lawson.

Even his long-retired father was there. The old man was gray-haired, his expression grave.

“Part of this is congenital, but it was exacerbated by the inhalation of some unknown gas, combined with psychological stress, which has led to organ decay.”

The mention of an “unknown gas” made Isabel think of something.

A deep, cool voice sounded in her ear. “It’s exactly what you’re thinking.”

Isabel froze for a second, then instinctively defended Edmund. “Those gases weren’t toxic.”

Adrian scoffed. “How much do you really know about him? You don’t even know who he is, and you trust him this easily?”

Isabel frowned. “You know better than I do what kind of place the Grey Zone is. You took the child there, and now that something’s wrong, you should be taking full responsibility instead of blaming a six-or-seven-year-old boy.”

“Whether he’s just a six-or-seven-year-old boy…” Adrian’s tone was ambiguous. “I hope you can be this confident in the future.”

Isabel didn’t want to argue with him. She walked over to Dr. Lawson to ask about the situation.

When Oliver saw her, he scrambled across the bed, grabbed the hem of her clothes, and pressed against her.

The primary cause was the inhalation of an unknown gas, which had triggered some underlying issues.

Recently, due to his psychological state, he hadn't been eating well and had been listless, without receiving proper treatment.

So when the symptoms first appeared, no one noticed. It was only when the high fever hit that the problem was discovered.

“It’s flu season, and with the heavy snow in Westbridge, it’s common for children to get fevers from the sudden temperature changes. But he also developed a rash, and we initially thought it was an allergic reaction to a medication. After checking, we found that all his organs are showing problems of varying degrees.”

Oliver had just turned seven not long ago.

The test results showed his organ vitality was, in some ways, even worse than that of old Mrs. Blackwell.

If they didn't intervene immediately, he would soon die from organ failure.

She couldn’t help but have doubts about the pills Edmund had developed.
