After Vanessa had gone into the ward, Julien took out a cigarette and was about to light it. However, he remembered that he was at the hospital so he went over to the smoking area. Apart from the crowd at the smoking area, Julien was not quite used to the overwhelming cigarette smoke, so he left after taking only a few drags off his cigarette.
The hospital was a crowded and busy place. Amid this bustling world, Julien still felt like he did not belong to this world.
Perhaps, it was because he was born and raised in a rich family like the Kyle family. Everyone in his family had a personal doctor. Even if they had to be admitted into the hospital, they would definitely get admitted into a first class ward, which was even more luxurious than a five- star hotel room. Throughout his life, he had never experienced the suffering of ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Julien went to the director of Rovio Hospital, Marcus Hudson's office, to see Lawrie's attending doctor, Dr. Ashleigh, and talk about Lawrie's condition and medical history.
When he read through Lawrie's medical record, Julien was heartbroken.
Owing to the spectacular advances in medicine, leukaemia was no longer an incurable disease. However, the treatment was unbearable. Most adults might not be able to withstand it, let alone a toddler like Lawrie.
According to Lawrie's medical record, Vanessa was Lawrie's only guardian. Lawrie's father's name was not written in there, which indirectly proved that Vanessa was not lying to him. Lawrie's father was probably dead, otherwise, he would not have kept his nose out of their lives throughout these years.
That was to say, not only Vanessa had to raise Lawrie by herself, she even had to take care of his expensive medical bills. She was only a girl in her early twenties but who was the one who made her carry such a heavy burden by herself?
It was that d*mnned man!
Julien was so furious that he clenched his fists and punched against the desk. That b*stard married Vanessa, and even made her give birth to his child, but he did not take good care of them and protect them. How could he die so soon, and let Vanessa suffer all this on her own?
Both Marcus and Ashleigh were stunned by Julien's sudden action. They stammered, "Mr, Mr. Kyle..."
Julien said, "Please tell me everything about Lawrie's condition."
Ashleigh explained, "Mr. Kyle, Lawrie was hospitalized once when he was still in Averland and his condition was under control for the past year. This time, it was because his condition had worsened out of a sudden that he was sent to the hospital again. However, we've managed to stop his condition from worsening."
Julien raised his eyebrows and asked, "You're only stopping his condition from worsening?"
Marcus immediately interrupted, "We will arrange the best doctor to treat him with the best medicine. We will cure him within the shortest time, so that he can live a healthy and happy life like many other children."
Julien said, "Immediately upgrade his ward and arrange the best doctor to treat him. Also, get the best nurses to take care of him but do not charge them even a cent. I'll take care of all the medical expenses instead."
Marcus nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Mr. Kyle."
This hospital was the Kyle family's property, so whatever Julien said went.
After leaving Marcus' office, Julien went over to Lawrie's ward. However, he was a little hesitant to meet Lawrie.
A year ago, when he took over Rovio, his father was not there by his side to assist him. At that time, he was not even afraid when he had to face the media and the shareholders by himself. However, he was actually at a loss because of a little boy.
After hesitating for quite some time, Julien finally figured it all out. As long as he wanted to be with Vanessa, no matter how reluctant he was to accept Lawrie, he must make himself do it, because he knew that Vanessa treasured Lawrie more than him.
