His bodily functions were normal, and the fever had subsided too, but he still wouldn't wake up. The new doctor, Carson York was trying to look for the reason to no avail.
Silvia reached out her hand and touched Jayden's forehead. His temperature was indeed normal. "Jayden..."
She wanted to ask Jayden what was wrong with him, but he was still comatose, so he would not be able to give her an answer. Silvia took a deep breath and covered him with the blanket. "Jayden, I'm going out for a bit but I'll be back real soon. Don't be afraid, okay?"
After notifying Jayden, Silvia walked out of the room to look for Dr. York, "Dr. York, there's something I've been keeping to myself for a while and I think I should tell you about it."
Carson was looking through the medical records that Dr. Thames had left behind, in hopes to find some clues. He was so serious about it that he did not even raise his head as he replied, "Mrs. Kyle, please go ahead."
Silvia was not bothered by such informality and went on to speak her mind. "Jayden's old illness would relapse whenever the weather changes. Most of the time, he would have a high fever and would go into a coma. But once Dr. Thames gave him some medicine, these symptoms would disappear almost right away and he would wake up shortly after, but..."
"Mrs. Kyle, I admit that I'm not as familiar with Master Jayden's condition as Dr. Thames did, so I'm trying to look through the medical records Dr. Thames had handed over to me and see what kind of medication she has prescribed for Master Jayden." Carson thought that Silvia was dissatisfied with him, so he finally looked up from the monitor and said with slight displeasure, "I'm equally as worried as you about Master Jayden's condition."
"Dr. York, I'm afraid that you might have misunderstood me. I'm not saying that you're not as great as Dr. Thames. I'm just suspecting that someone might have tampered with Jayden's medicine." Silvia knew that she could not just speak without any evidence. However, her intuition was telling her that Dr. Thames had ill intentions and was willing to do anything to get her hands on Jayden.
Moreover, Silvia's instinct had always been accurate. Even when Dr. Thames had not had a fall out with her, she had already thought that Dr. Thames was coveting Jayden. And it turned out that she was right about it.
However, even if she trusted her instinct, she was not sure whether Stanley and Carson, who were not familiar with her, would believe it. Therefore, she thought about it again and only voiced out her doubts only now.
Moreover, Silvia chose to talk to Carson when Stanley was not around. Stanley had a good relationship with Dr. Thames, so Silvia was worried that Stanley would affect Carson's opinion.
Carson frowned as he asked, "Mrs. Kyle, who do you think this person is? Who will do such a thing to Master Jayden?"
Silvia did not like Carson's tone. It was as if he was questioning her. However, for Jayden's sake, she could endure everything. "I'm guessing that it's Dr. Thames."
"Mrs. Kyle, Dr. Thames is an ethical doctor, and an authoritative figure in our field too. You really shouldn't slander her this way." Although that was what Dr. York said, he immediately picked up his mobile phone and made a call. "Is the blood test result out?"
Silvia couldn't hear what the person on the other side of the phone was saying. She could only see that Carson looked crestfallen as the call went on. Then, he said, "Okay, let me know once the results are out."
Silvia asked, "What's the matter, Dr. York?"
"My colleague has found some abnormalities in Master Jayden's blood test. They are not 100% sure that it was caused by the wrong usage of medication, so they needed more time to do further tests. More importantly, it doesn't prove that it has something to do with Dr. Thames." Although those doctors had already suspected that Jayden might have taken some medicine that he shouldn't have taken, Dr. York emphasized that this matter did not necessarily have something to do with Dr. Thames.
