Sophia hesitated for a moment, then she let it out.
With a sigh, her voice slightly choked, "It's aplastic anemia."
Gilbert's heart skipped a beat!
Even though he had a hunch that Jenna was battling a serious illness, the confirmation hit him hard.
Holding the tiny bundle in his arms, Gilbert found it suddenly hard to breathe.
She was so young, how could she endure this?
Gilbert held the little one super gently, like she was made of glass. He looked all worried that he might hurt her, his brows all scrunched up. "You came today for...?"
"Ah..." Sophia sighed, cleaning her tears. "We're here for a hospital check-up. It's been a tough morning, and Jenna's just so little..."
Gilbert understood – Jenna was feeling unwell.
Picking up the little girl, he gently asked, "Jenna, can you tell me where it hurts?"
Jenna pondered for a moment then shook her head, "Don't know."
Her lips trembled, tears starting to fall, "Uncomfortable, sir, I feel really bad."
"Okay, okay." Gilbert didn't dare to press further, "I know it . Jenna, don't cry. I'm right here with you."
"Okay!" Jenna burrowed into his embrace.
Gilbert, worried she might be in pain, glanced at Sophia, "Where's her room?"
"Sir, please follow me."
Upon reaching the room, Gilbert's expression was grave, "Go call the doctor!"
It was crucial to have Jenna checked by a professional to ease his worries.
"Right away." Sophia nodded firmly and hurried off.
Elijah, who had been on standby, rushed over upon hearing the news and conducted a check-up on Jenna.
Patting her head, he praised, "Jenna, you're so brave for completing the check-up."
He then produced a magic wand as a reward, "Here, I promised you! A reward!"
