I can’t believe Matteo’s condition’s that bad… An extremely low white blood cell count signifies a severe infection, so this isn’t just a normal inflammatory response… In fact, it could lead to a blood disorder like septicemia or leukemia if his immune system can’t stop the infection!
Sasha shuddered at the thought of that and asked in a trembling voice moments later, “How did this happen? What exactly happened to him?”
“How would I know? He was already like this when they brought him over from his grandpa’s!”
“His grandpa’s?”
Sasha froze.
Why would he be at the Hayes residence? What was Sebastian doing? Did he not watch over him?
For some reason, Sasha had a really bad feeling when she found out that Matteo had gotten sick while staying at the Hayes residence. Matteo had gotten sick during his last visit there, so she didn’t like the place one bit and didn’t want her kids anywhere near it.
With a grim look on her face, Sasha left Roxanne’s laboratory and went home.
Her kids had been waiting for her and ran up to her the moment she came through the door.
“How did things go at Ms. Rocke’s, Mommy? Did she manage to find a cure for Matt?” Vivian asked worriedly.
Sasha forcefully suppressed her feelings of despair and sat down with Matteo on the bench in the yard.
“Tell me, Matt. Did you eat anything nasty at your grandpa’s place before you got sick?”
“No, we only ate the food Grandpa prepared for us himself.”
“Why did you get sick all of a sudden, then? There’s something wrong with your gastrointestinal tract, so it must’ve been something you ate. Try your best to recall what you’ve eaten during your time there.”
Sasha tried to help him remember what happened back then, but Matteo kept quiet.
Ian, who had been quiet the whole time, stood up all of a sudden.
“He ate it for me, Mommy.”
“What?” The look on Sasha’s face changed instantly. “What did he eat? What on earth were you two doing?”
She was so agitated that she grabbed Ian by the hand and squeezed it till it turned red.
