The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 476

Chapter 476

After a bit of coordination, all four doctors were given some patients.

Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her post to work away.

Silence descended upon the cubicle. Occasionally, the sounds of the kids joking and playing around rang out, but they kept it soft. It was almost as though they were worried about disturbing the doctors.

The more Roxanne worked, the heavier her heart felt.

Their first round was a simple examination of the kids’ pulse and getting an idea of how their health was. Those with more complicated medical issues would have to receive extra treatment.

When Roxanne first saw the abandoned kids, she was already heartbroken for them. Actually treating their condition made her feel even worse.

Some of the kids had milder issues and could be cured with some medicine or via acupuncture. Unfortunately, the doctors on site couldn’t help those with more complicated issues. All they could do was send the kids to the hospital, where the Damaris family would pay for their medical fees.

The first few kids Roxanne treated all had mild issues, and she was just about to sigh in relief when she examined a kid with a more serious condition.

The kid was only about four or five years old and was around Archie’s and Benny’s age. His round, chubby face was tense with nervousness.

When Roxanne looked into those big, round eyes, her heart ached so much that she couldn’t speak for a moment.

“Am I very sick?” asked the kid fearfully.

A lump lodged itself in Roxanne’s throat. She didn’t have the guts to answer that question because she worried that her voice would be thick with tears if she spoke.

The kid ended up consoling her instead. “It’s fine. I’m just an orphan nobody loves anyway, so no one will be sad even if my condition is bad. Don’t feel bad for me. Your eyes are getting all red with tears.”

The place was quiet, so everyone heard what the kid said.
