Chapter 390
Isabel broke down into tears. She cried as loud as she could and screamed for her mother. “I want
Mommy, I want Mommy…” Liam simply hugged her and stayed by her side until Aunt Tonya came in
with the family doctor.
Isabel immediately stopped crying but her eyes remained teary.
It was a heart-wrenching scene to look at.
The doctor took her temperature. “39.7 celsius degrees, she’s having a high fever. We must lower her
body temperature right away.”
The doctor then tried to coax the little girl, “Isabel, be a good girl and take your medicine, okay?” Isabel
pouted. “I want my mommy.”
Liam patted her head and said, “Sis, please take the medicine first. I’ll think of a way to get to
mommy.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIsabel whispered, “Okay,” and obediently took the medicine. Then, Liam let her go and continued to
stay by her side. Aunt Tonya and the doctor stayed back as well.
The doctor took Isabel’s temperature once every 30 minutes just to be safe.
Several hours went by but Isabel’s face remained flushed and hot. Her furrowed brows were a sign that
she was in discomfort and her little mouth would call out for her mother from time to time.
The doctor frowned and said in a worried tone, “I think it would be better to let her see her mother.
She’d feel better in her mother’s presence and her body would recover faster. If not, I’m worried that
the fever might not go away.” Feeling helpless, Aunt Tonya said, “Their father is not letting them see
their mother. Even my phone was confiscated, so there’s no way for me to contact Sylvia.”
It was then that Liam opened his eyes.
He continued to hug his sister as he asked the doctor, “Doctor, could you lend me your
phone?”
The doctor was surprised. “What do you need my phone for?” “I want to call my daddy.” “Okay. Hold
on.” The doctor lent the boy his phone. Liam took the phone and skillfully keyed in Sylvia’s number.
However, when he dialed the number, the systematic voice informed him that it was unreachable.
Liam frowned. He then dialed Odell’s number.
It took a while before the call got through but he immediately said, “Sis is having a high fever. The
doctor says that if she doesn’t get to see Mommy, her brain will be damaged by the fever. You know
what to do.”
He then ended the call without giving Odell a chance to speak. Aunt Tonya was stunned, and even the
doctor felt a little awkward. He did not remember saying that Isabel’s brain would be damaged if the
fever continued from not being able to see her mother.
Half an hour later, Odell strode into the house.
He immediately headed to Isabel and Liam’s room and found Liam hugging his sister on the bed.
Isabel was sleeping in his arms. Her face remained flushed and her brows were furrowed. It was clear
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat she was in a lot of discomfort.
Odell went up to the kids and placed his hand over Isabel’s forehead. It was hot.
He turned to the doctor and asked, “What’s going on? It has been a whole night yet the fever is still not
going away.”
The doctor said, “Sir, I’ve already given Isabel some medicine but I believe she’s still having a fever
due to mental issues, not physical ones.”
Odell frowned. He tried to carry Isabel into his arms but Isabel suddenly opened her eyes. She cried
upon seeing her father. “Go away, Baddie, I don’t want you! Go away! I want Mommy, I want Mommy!”
Her voice grew hoarse because of the fever and the lack of strength caused her to fall back into Liam’s
arms again.
Liam hugged her and stared at Odell coldly at the same time.
Odell frowned.
A moment later, he pulled his phone out and made a call. When the call got through, he immediately
said, “Bring Sylvia to Carter Residence right away.”
Sylvia was woken up by the bodyguard knocking on the door.
