Yvonne rubbed her eyes and replied in a serious tone: "I contacted him early in the morning, but it’s going to take Dr. Tom a week to come over because he still has two patients to deal with."
"I see. That's okay." Shane nodded.
Yvonne touched Theo's dry and lusterless hair, distressed. "Shane, you can transfer Theo to your senior's clinic first. I won't go with you guys."
"Why?" Shane looked at her.
Yvonne said with a dark expression, "Elliot is still at the hospital after all, so the Lancaster family may come anytime. If they happen to see me leaving with Theo, it might raise suspicions."
"You’re right." Shane had no objections when he heard her reasons.
Yvonne put Theo back on the bed and covered him with a quilt as she asked, "By the way, did you ask the nurse who took care of Elliot?"
"I did."
"How did it go? Did she say something that caused Elliot to react?" Yvonne looked at him anxiously.
Shane's expression became a little complicated. "She told Elliot about many things, but I think there were two topics that triggered Elliot's reaction."
"Which two?"
"The first one." Shane raised a finger. "The nurse was assigned to take care of Elliot in the past few years. Because she has been with Elliot for a long time, she actually fell for Elliot. So yesterday, she confessed her feelings for him."
"What?" Yvonne twitched. "So your first suspicion is that Elliot was triggered by the nurse's confession?"
"I guess." Shane touched the tip of his nose.
Yvonne laughed, "This is really surprising, but it's understandable. Although Elliot is still unconscious, h e still is the handsome Elliot after all. It’s understandable that the nurse would fall for him, but I think the possibility of Elliot getting triggered by the nurse's confession isn't very high."
"How so?" Shane asked, waiting for Yvonne's explanation.
Yvonne analyzed, "I believe that the nurse must've fallen for Elliot quite some time ago, so that was probably not her first time confessing to Elliot. Since Elliot didn't have any reaction when she confessed before that, it would certainly not cause any reaction this time."
"So I still have doubts, which brings me to my second point." Shane raised his second finger.
Yvonne lifted her chin and motioned to him.
Shane glanced at the hospital bed and said in a deep
voice, "The second one is related to Theo."
"Theo?" Yvonne's expression became serious and she looked at Theo too.
Theo was seen lying on the hospital bed while staring at the ceiling with his big empty eyes, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Yes. Yesterday, I skipped the line and brought Theo t o the dialysis room. It caused a commotion in the hospital at the time, and Theo's examination results were also very serious. It had undoubtedly become the topic of conversation among the doctors and nurses. Therefore, the nurse who took care of Elliot told him about this too."
As Shane was talking about this, he turned to look at Yvonne. "When you first went to see Elliot, you didn’t hide your true identity. You told him about your time abroad and Theo's birth, so I think Elliot heard it all already, and it triggered a reaction in him when the nurse told him about what happened yesterday."
"You might be right, but the one thing I can't figure out is Theo’s name. Theo didn’t register his real name at the hospital, he only registered his nickname. There must be other children with the name 'Theo.' How can Elliot be sure that the Theo whom the nurse was talking about was my Theo?" Yvonne said calmly.
Shane pushed up his glasses. "That might be because o f me." "Huh?" Yvonne looked at him suspiciously.
Shane coughed and explained, "I skipped the line when I carried Theo into the dialysis room yesterday, and I was very anxious. Everyone could see that Theo has an unusual relationship with me, and I only know one Theo. Besides, another reason is about Theo's blood type."
"Blood type?" Yvonne looked at him.
Shane nodded. "Yes, you know that Theo’s blood type i s AB-negative, right?"
