Carter shrugged. “Fine. But trust me, you’re gonna screw up should you continue to act like this. People who fall deeply in love with someone are often the ones who get hurt the most.”
Vinson gave Carter the cold shoulder. He then returned to the ward and talked to the elderly woman, “We’re trying our best to rescue your son and find out the truth. Don’t worry, we’ll take full responsibility, if it’s our shop that triggered your son’s illness, and compensate him accordingly.”
Upon seeing how sincere Vinson was, the elderly woman’s frown gradually disappeared.
She coughed and responded, “I just want my son to be safe. I’ll not pursue the matter as long as he’s healthy.”
Her elder son immediately interrupted her and expressed his dismay. “How can you say that, Mom? It’s all their fault, to begin with!”
“Enough!” She knitted her brows. “Can’t you tell that they felt sorry for the mishap? We don’t need any compensation from them. We just want your brother to be safe!”
The doctor, who was about to leave, overheard their conversation. He paused for a moment, turned around, and said to her. “I’m afraid he has a more severe health issue.”
A line formed between the woman’s brows. “What do you mean?”
Vinson, too, turned his attention to the doctor.
The doctor explained, “I suppose you’re not aware of his health condition. Your son has hemophilia. Even if he manages to leave the hospital this time, he will still be hospitalized because of this disorder.”
“Hemophilia? How did he contract this disease? My son’s body has always been weak, but… could it be a misdiagnosis?”
The doctor shook his head. “We’ve carried out a thorough checkup on him. We’ve also checked his medical record and realized he had come to the hospital for treatment before this. Your son knew he was sick all along.”
