Chapter 1002 I Didn't Take Care of Lanie

"Faster," Luke urged because he thought that Johann was too slow.

"There's no point in hurrying. A mercury thermometer needs time to work," Johann said leisurely. He shook his head

when he saw how anxious Luke and Bianca were. "It's normal for kids to have a fever, especially Lanie, who hasn't

fallen sick in a while. It shouldn't be surprising that the fever hit him hard."

As the saying went, "Sickness comes on horseback and leaves on foot."

Bianca was nonetheless anxious when she heard that. She had been focused on taking care of Rainie and Tommy

the night before and had neglected Lanie. She did not even know when he started to have the fever.

Five minutes later, Johann took out the thermometer and glanced at it."

103.1 degrees. Don't worry, Lanie is a strong boy. He'll be fine after an injection and an IV drip." "Alright. Sorry to

trouble you." Bianca's heart wrenched when she saw Lanie's lips cracking from the fever. She took a cup of water

and a straw and said, "Drink some water, Lanie. You'll feel better."

Lanie opened his eyes, pushed himself up, and took a few sips of water. Even though his body was uncomfortably

hot, the discomfort made him unable to drink too much.

Bianca wanted to ask him to drink some more.

"Don't force him if he doesn't want to drink. He’ll feel better after the IV drip, " Johann said.

Bianca could only give up. She looked apologetically at Luke. "I didn't take care of Lanie." "You did nothing wrong."

Luke draped his arm over her shoulders and comforted her. "It’s just a fever. You don’t have to blame yourself for

it."

Bianca nodded. She wished that she was the one who fell sick instead.

Johann asked the nurse to bring some medicine and gave Lanie an injection.

Bianca coaxed Lanie to eat the medicine. The boy was sensible enough, and he swallowed the bitter medicine

without making a fuss.

Johann observed the family of three. They were in his office, but it seemed that he was the odd one out. "I’ll be

going on my rounds. If the IV drip is empty, go to the counter and get the nurse to remove the needle." "Mm, thank

you," Bianca said.

Luke did not look too pleasant. "Aren’t you staying here?" "I have many patients who are in a worse state than

Lanie. Your son is occupying my room, so I'll have to perform my duties elsewhere." Johann grinned. He could only

feel so smug when Luke asked for his help.

"I’m sorry..." Bianca was embarrassed.

"Don't worry. Money will solve it. I'll just charge you according to VIP private ward rates." They were not short of

money anyway.

Johann took his stethoscope and walked toward the door. "The thermometer is on the table, and next to it are the

alcohol wipes. If the fever hasn't subsided in half an hour, get the nurse to inform me.”

After that, he walked out of his office and closed the door.

Bianca watched the IV solution slowly drip into Lanie’s vein.

Luke took her hand and led her to the couch. "Don't worry. Don't you trust Johann's skills?"

Bianca had met Johann many times, and she had full confidence in Johann's skills. However, she could not help but

feel guilty. "Rainie and Tommy were frightened by the scene yesterday. I thought Lanie seemed composed, and

that's why I didn't..." "I don't blame you." Luke's hands held Bianca's hands. "Nobody wants that to happen. Right,

did the police find anything?" "The police gathered the evidence. The security feed was jammed, so they could only

conduct the investigation from the evidence they collected. They haven't found anything yet." "The feed was

jammed?" Luke found it quite surprising. However, when he thought further about it, it was not very surprising that

a thief would employ special means to break into Crawford Manor.

"They're still trying to fix it," Bianca said. She was in a rush to leave the house earlier, and she did not ask about

how the restoration process was coming along.

However, she remembered seeing the technicians still fiddling around with the computer, so she guessed that it

had not been restored yet.

"Right, how is Thea?" Bianca had been concerned over Lanie's fever and had not asked about Thea.

"She lost a lot of blood and suffered a serious concussion. The doctors managed to save her by giving her a blood

transfusion, but she has to stay in the hospital for observation because of the blood clots in her head. If the blood

clot doesn't increase in size, she can be discharged," Luke said. Johann was at the hospital early in the morning

because Luke had brought him to the hospital the night before to treat Thea.

"It’s that serious..." Bianca felt quite uneasy after hearing that.

Children should not have been injured like that.

"Johann is here. Don’t worry," Luke said.

Johann was the best doctor in the hospital, and he was renowned even in other countries. Many other hospitals had

tried to poach him, and he would not have remained in that hospital if not for certain circumstances.

"When Lanie gets better, bring me to visit Thea." Bianca looked at her son on the bed.

"Alright," Luke said.

"I'll check Lanie's temperature again." Bianca stood up, took the thermometer on the table, sterilized it with an

alcohol wipe, and inserted it into Lanie's armpit.

Five minutes later, she took out the thermometer to see if the temperature had dropped.

"Lanie, do you want some water?" Bianca asked softly.

Lanie was still feeling groggy from the fever. He shook his head slightly when he heard his mother speak to him.

Bianca could not do anything if Lanie did not want to drink.

After another injection, Lanie's body temperature began to fall. She breathed a sigh of relief when she touched his

forehead and noticed that it was not as hot.

Lanie felt a lot better, even though his body was quite weak. He was already sitting on the bed, and the redness of

his face had dissipated. "I'm fine here, Daddy, Mommy. You should go and visit Thea." "Are you going to be okay

being alone here?" Bianca wiped her son's back with a paper towel. He had sweated quite a bit when the fever

receded.

"I'll be fine. I won't go anywhere. I'd better stay here in case I pass my germs to Thea," Lanie said. Even though he

was not feeling well, he had overheard his parents' conversation.

Bianca did not want to leave him alone.

Johann came in through the door and noticed that Lanie was already sitting up. "Feeling better, Lanie?" He asked

with a smile.

"Uncle Johann," Lanie greeted the doctor.

"Looks like your fever is gone. Let me check," Johann placed his hand on Lanie's forehead. Then, he turned to

Bianca. "Did you check his temperature?" "Yes. It’s 98.6 degrees," Bianca replied.

"Very good. Looks like the fever is gone." Johann nodded and handed her the medicine on the table. "Keep it with

you in case the fever comes back." "Thank you." Bianca placed the medicine in her handbag.

"Uncle Johann, can I stay in your office for a little longer?" Lanie asked Johann.
