My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1459

Hearing such a young child speak that way, Vanessa and Winnie, who had been taking care of Lawrie, were overwhelmed with emotion. While Vanessa fought hard to hold back her tears, Winnie could not help but burst into tears as she asked, "Vanessa, what do we do now?"

Vanessa gritted her teeth and collected herself. She then calmly said, "Miss Ziglar, let's get Lawrie to the hospital now. Don't worry, he'll be fine."

It was not that Vanessa did not worry about Lawrie, but she had to keep a strong face regardless of how anxious she felt. Lawrie did not have a father, so she was his only family. If she collapsed, what would Lawrie do?

Winnie said anxiously, "Okay, let's take Lawrie to the hospital now."

Vanessa and Winnie took a taxi to the hospital and immediately sent him to the emergency ward. The doctor firstly found a way to break Lawrie's fever before drawing some blood and conducting a full- body examination on him. After the blood results were released, the doctor located Vanessa and asked her, "Miss Love, do you know what illness your child has?"

Vanessa nodded, biting her lips tightly. She was afraid because she knew exactly what it was. She was afraid that Lawrie would not make it this time and she would lose him forever. After getting Lawrie to the hospital, her entire being trembled in antagonizing, paralyzing fear.

The doctor explained, "Lawrie's white blood cell count is much higher than the average individual. He must have been sick for quite a while. Why did you only bring him here now?"

"When Lawrie was two, he did get treated for it and went into remission. The doctor said...." Vanessa trailed off, unable to continue. She thought Lawrie could have waited until she saved enough money, but it was clear now that this was only wishful thinking. Lawrie had spent such a long time waiting for her, yet she was still unable to get enough funds...

The doctor added, "Please get him admitted to the hospital immediately. He can't afford any more delays. The longer we wait, the harder this will be as his condition worsens. His life may even be in danger."

Hearing that Lawrie's life may be in danger, Vanessa's previously repressed emotions finally broke out of weakly erected walls. She hysterically grabbed hold of the doctor's hands and pleaded, "Doctor, you're the only one who can save him. I'll pay for any amount as long as he gets cured. Please save him, you can't give him up on him."

The doctor reassuringly patted Vanessa's hand and comforted her. "Leukemia is no longer an incurable disease. There's still a shot at curing it, though the mortality rate remains very high. In any case, Miss Love, it's best to keep yourself mentally prepared."

Vanessa screamed uncontrollably. "As I said, money is not a problem! As long as my son gets cured, it doesn't matter how much money it costs."

Doctors had grown used to seeing families lose their senses. He calmly said, "Miss Love, it's not about the money. It also depends on factors like his condition and the after-treatment process. Moreover, this isn't the best hospital in Chatterton Town. So, what we can do here is rather limited. If you're able to afford it, I'd advise you to get him transferred over to Rovio's Hospital. It's the best private hospital in town and they've got top-of-the-line medical equipment and experienced doctors. With their help, the success rate of getting Lawrie cured is much higher. Of course, treatment there will most likely cost no less than a few million dollars."

Millions of dollars?

What Vanessa had in her current savings now did not even reach the one million mark.

This year, she did not dare use the money that Julien had given her, and tried her best to save from what she earned at work. As hard as she tried, she was still miles away from a million dollars. Where would she get millions of dollars from? However, in order to give Lawrie the best possible treatment, she had to find a way somehow, even if it meant asking Julien for help.

She said, "Okay."

Winnie hugged Vanessa, who was on the verge of collapsing and said, "Vanessa, Lawrie is fine for the time being. Let's just get him admitted first. Only then would the doctors be able to properly treat him."
