Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 16

When Kisa rushed to the hospital, Andrew was being treated in the emergency room.

Her face turned slightly pale as she sat down on the bench, at a loss.

Andrew still looked fine in the morning. She wondered why he was suddenly sent into the emergency room.

Lea was anxious. "I saw that boy's face unusually rosy today. He seemed to have a mild fever, so I had him drink a lot of water. But he suddenly fainted on the floor at noon. It scared me to death!"

Seeing Kisa's pale face and silence, Lea held her hand to comfort her. "Don't worry. It might just be a normal fever."

'He wouldn't have been admitted to the emergency room had it been just an ordinary fever. Andrew's case should be very serious.' A pang of guilt washed over her as she thought about how out-of-place Andrew had been this morning.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and blamed herself. "I actually noticed something wrong with him this morning. I should have brought him to the hospital first thing in the morning. It is all my fault. I shouldn't have held any prejudice against him. I—"

"Kisa, it is not your fault at all. He only had a mild fever. No one would see this coming."

Kisa covered her face, feeling bad. After a long while, she finally took out her cell phone and was about to notify Gilbert. Lea stopped her.

"You're not going to inform the boy's father, are you?"

Kisa was silent. Lea continued, "Didn't you say he wouldn't spare you if you didn't take good care of his son? I think it's better to wait for the doctor to come out."

As they were talking, the door of the emergency room opened.

Kisa rushed to meet the doctor. "How is the boy?"

"The child has a respiratory infection that has caused a very serious case of pneumonia. Which one of you is the child's family?"
