The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1005

Chapter 1005 Switch To This Acupuncture Point

At first, Roxanne thought the two of them would not be able to cope with all the work. Somehow, the children were very cooperative. Hence, she could not tell if it was because of the gifts she had prepared.

Both Roxanne and Jack treated the patients in an orderly fashion. Perhaps it was because the orphanage was in a city and had better facilities compared to the previous one.

Apart from some congenital disabilities, the children were mostly fine. As the number of children still waiting in line gradually reduced, Roxanne, too, gradually felt more relaxed.

When the last child in line entered the tent, Roxanne took out a stuffed bunny and gave it to him. Surprised, the boy looked up and thanked her politely, “Thank you, Ms. Jarvis!” He then carefully took the stuffed bunny from her.

Roxanne could not help but pat him on the head, beaming. Suddenly, she noticed he looked extremely pale, and the sight of that made her heart sink. She immediately asked him in concern, “Do you normally have any discomfort?”

Hearing that, the boy frowned and mulled briefly before answering with hesitance, “My heart feels uncomfortable sometimes.”

His words brought a frown to Roxanne’s face, and she pressed on, “Can you tell me in detail?”

Again, the boy pondered for some time. “Sometimes, it beats really fast, but it goes back to normal after a while.” This is a typical symptom of arrhythmia.

Roxanne shot Jack a look before instructing the boy, “Dear, could you lie on this bed? I’d like to examine you a little.”

Carrying the stuffed bunny, the little boy climbed onto the bed obediently. Then, Roxanne began taking his pulse. Meanwhile, Jack activated the machine beside them.

Not long after, their suspicion was confirmed. The boy was suffering from a severe case of arrhythmia. However, he was very lucky that nothing major happened to him.

Thankfully, they had discovered his illness.

Before Jack could say anything, Roxanne had already brought out her acupuncture tools while comforting the boy, “This might hurt a little. Please bear with it, okay?”
