That being said, Sasha was aware of how easily Ian’s physical health got affected by emotional turmoil. That was why she didn’t use her acupuncture techniques on him and took him to the hospital instead. From her experience, the most suitable treatment for him in such circumstances would be sedatives.
And he’ll also need psychotherapy.
As Sasha stared at the boy on the bed whose eyes remained shut, she felt guilt-stricken.
“I don’t know. He was already hiding in the closet when I arrived, all curled up like a ball. It’s likely that something horrified him.” Sasha speculated.
She was at a loss as she honestly had no idea what had happened to her son, and the kid refused to talk even after he woke up. He simply kept his eyes closed without moving a muscle.
That got Sasha extremely worried.
Dr. Woods nodded and agreed, “Yes, that is most likely what happened. Let him rest for a while. We’ll ask him about it after he wakes up. Maybe he’ll open up then.”
“Okay.”
Sasha breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. After getting the prescription from the doctor, she went to pay the bill and retrieve the medicine.
Sebastian made it to the hospital before Sasha returned from the pharmacy. Upon entering the room, he saw a tiny figure lying on the bed.
“Ian?”
Sebastian was much calmer when dealing with his son’s illness. After all, he had brought the child to the hospital countless times.
Despite that, watching the tiny figure under those white sheets still gripped Sebastian’s heart.
He walked over to check how his boy was doing.
Unfortunately, the moment he approached the bed, he saw the tiny thing inching away under the sheets. Ian still had his eyes closed, so he didn’t catch a glimpse of Sebastian but only detected his scent.
Yet, that was enough to make the kid keep his guard up, refusing to get close to his dad.
Sebastian was at a loss for words upon seeing that.
“Here’s the medicine, miss. Please administer it to my son,” said Sasha who had just returned at that moment before handing the medicine for the boy to the nurse.
Hearing that from the side of the hospital bed, Sebastian retracted his long fingers that were clutching onto the edge of the sheets.
When Sasha walked over with the nurse, she realized that Sebastian was there too and abruptly paused in her tracks, almost causing the nurse to crash into her.
“Dr. Nancy?”
“Sorry, let’s go over there.”
Sasha quickly averted her gaze and followed the nurse to her son’s bedside with a needle.
