Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 304 Brenda's Illness

As Brenda was wheeled into the examination room, a worried Sadie waited outside.

The medical staff encouraged Sadie to go and get her back treated, but she refused, insisting on staying put until Brenda's test results were in.

"Sadie, the full examination takes time. There's no point in waiting here. You should really get your back treated," Dahlia advised earnestly. "You need to heal quickly so you can take care of your family." "Alright." Sadie realized she made sense and followed the medical staff to receive treatment for her back.

As she lay on the treatment table, her mind was still uneasy.

"Dr. Rey, Brenda will be okay, won't she?" she asked.

Dahlia pondered for a moment before gently saying, "You might want to brace yourself. Things don't look too promising for Brenda."

"What do you mean 'not too promising'?" Sadie asked hastily, concern etching her face. "Is there some major issue?"

"I got some information from the Compassionate Care Clinic. Brenda had stopped by recently complaining about frequent dizziness. The doctor suggested a thorough check-up, but she said she didn't have time and kept putting it off. Before she knew it... she fainted in the elevator." Dahlia summarized the gravity of the situation, "This means her health issues have been around for a while."

Hearing this, Sadie felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. "It's all my fault. I've been so caught up in my own stuff, not paying enough attention to her. She's been caring for my three kids all by herself, busy from dawn till dusk, without a moment to spare for a doctor's visit..."

"Don't worry, let her get the care she needs with me," Dahlia soothed, "I'll make sure she is looked after."

"Thank you, Dr. Rey," Sadie managed to say, her voice tinged with anxiety. "Please let me know the moment you have any updates on Brenda's tests."

"Rest assured. She'll be in good hands. I'll come to replace you later."

With Sadie comforted, Dahlia went off to take care of other matters.

...

At noon, Brenda was wheeled out of the examination room and settled into a hospital ward. She was in a daze, with an IV needle in her arm, mumbling indistinctly, "Miss, miss..." "Brenda, I'm here," Sadie reassured her, grasping her hand tightly.

"Noah, Nathan, Mia..." Brenda mumbled in confusion, "Remember to pick up the kids."

"Yes, yes, I know."

Sadie felt a mix of emotion and guilt; even in this state, Brenda was concerned about the children.

She owed Brenda more than she could ever repay...

Checking the time, Sadie noted it was still early. To avoid missing the pickup time for the kids, she set an alarm for 3:00 p.m..

...

At 3:00 p.m., Dahlia approached Sadie with a stack of reports in hand and guided her to an empty office to break the news: Brenda had suffered a moderate stroke. The news hit Sadie like a thunderbolt, nearly knocking her off her feet...

Dahlia caught her. "Don't panic, we have excellent treatments for this."

"Why is this happening?" Sadie's tears poured out. "Brenda is so kind, positive, and lively. How could she fall victim to this? It must've been the exhaustion. It's all my fault..."

"Miss Roth, please don't be distressed. There's a strong chance of recovery as long as it's not too late." Dahlia reassured her, "We need to start Brenda's treatment immediately. You should go home and take care of the kids for now, leave Brenda to us."

"Dr. Rey, no matter the cost, you have to make sure Brenda gets better," Sadie implored, her voice edged with urgency. "I'll go get the money right away." "There's no need to worry about finances," Dahlia reassured her, patting her hand gently. "It's getting late. I'll have someone drive you to pick up the kids." "No, I'll go by myself."

Sadie didn't want the Clemens family getting too close to the kids. Sadie glanced at the clock, and it read 3:15 p.m. She hurriedly left the hospital and hailed a cab at the entrance to rush back to Bliss Avenue.

The first ten houses on Bliss Avenue belonged to an upscale neighborhood, encircled by a greenbelt. Since outside vehicles were not allowed in, the kindergarten bus would drop the kids off at the entrance of the street for the parents to pick

up.
