Chapter 594 Did They Give Him Any Medicine?

A dozen doctors took turns examining the child in the ward and gathered together to discuss hiscondition fervently. Meanwhile, the child was resting his head on Aidan's shoulder quietly as he blinkedhis eyes weakly while looking at the doctors.

A few minutes later, the chief physician came over and reported, "Mr. Pearson, we had a meeting lastnight about your son's case and did some research on the suspected disease according to thesymptoms he is exhibiting. As a result, we can confirm that this child's illness is definitely not congenitalor caused by any viruses. Instead, there is a high possibility that it was caused by medicationadministered to him. Moreover, this medication has probably been in his body for a long time, which iswhy it is so severe when it finally erupts."

The doctor continued after seeing Aidan remained silent, "However, the child is exhibiting multiplesymptoms concurrently, and there are many medications that could have caused any one of thesesymptoms. Not to mention that the number of possible drugs causing the symptoms is countlessbecause the child displays numerous symptoms. After our discussion, we need to know exactly whatmedication he has taken that has caused him to be in this state in order to develop a suitable treatmentplan."

Aidan thought that the most pressing issue was not about ascertaining the medication. So, he asked,"Is there a way to alleviate his current symptoms?"

The doctor replied, "We are still conducting further tests regarding the rash on his body. Until then, weadvise against using any medications to avoid aggravating the situation. Someone needs to watch himat all times to prevent him from scratching himself."

Aidan nodded. "I understand."

The doctor continued, "We will keep looking for a solution on this matter. I promise we will come up withan effective treatment plan to ensure that the child can receive immediate care the next time he has anepisode."

"Thank you."

Aidan opened the door after the doctors all left, only to see Leanna standing at the door as still as astatue with a pale face. Although he was not surprised to see her there, he paused momentarily beforeasking, "Did you hear everything?"

She nodded lightly and stretched out her arms, saying, "Give him to me." He handed the child to her,and the child made a few uncomfortable grunts in protest during the transfer. Still, once he was in hismom's arms, he closed his bleary eyes.

Leanna looked at her child and asked without looking up, "Can he drink milk?"

"He can, but there's a chance he'll throw up."

"I'll try," she murmured and returned to the ward.

Aidan watched them enter the ward and stood there for a few seconds before leaving the hospital.

Zoe was already waiting in the ward when Leanna and Aidan were talking outside. She brought some

stuff for Leanna and her child. She was at the hospital for her prenatal examination when the child fellill last night. So, she only heard about the incident from Maya after returning home. She tried callingLeanna several times but to no avail. Finally, Daniel said that Leanna might be too busy to answer callsat that moment and advised Zoe to visit them this morning.

So, when she saw Leanna carrying her child in her arms, she rose to her feet immediately. "Nana, howis he?"

Leanna shook her head in despair. "Zoe, can you help me boil some water? He hasn't eaten anythingsince last night."

Zoe nodded. "Of course! Wait a minute. I'll set things up."

Zoe poured the boiling water into a feeding bottle before immersing the bottle in a basin of cold water tocool the temperature down quickly. When the water temperature was just about right, she brought overthe bottle to Leanna and asked in a low voice, "How much milk powder should I put, Nana?"

"Let's start with one scoop. I don't know if he'll be able to drink it. We can make more if he does,"Leanna answered quietly.

"Okay."

Zoe mixed the milk powder into the bottle and shook it vigorously before handing it to Leanna. Shewatched the child start to drink from the bottle and whispered, "What happened yesterday? Maya saidhe was throwing up a lot. Did she feed him the wrong thing?"

"No, it was not her fault."

"Then, whose fault is it?"

Leanna glanced at her child and slowly enunciated, "I don't know either. The doctors said his symptomsare caused by medication."

"But he's a healthy child and doesn't take any medication!" As Zoe exclaimed, she suddenly realizedthat she had missed out on the most obvious thing. "Is it something to do with the Pearsons?"

Leanna lowered her head. "Probably."

Zoe suddenly had the urge to curse at someone; she knew the Pearsons were behind this!

Meanwhile, the child had only drunk half of the milk before pushing the bottle away and burying hishead in Leanna's arms, and falling asleep. So, she placed the bottle aside but was nonethelessrelieved that he finally ate something and didn't have a bad reaction to it.

Not long after, Maya also arrived and felt terrible that the child had to endure such a thing. So, she toldLeanna, "I'll stay here and take care of him. Go do your own thing. Don't worry, this time I'll take goodcare of him. I'll call the doctor immediately if he feels uncomfortable."

However, Leanna did not want to leave his side and refused Maya's kindness. "It's alright. You can gohome. I want to stay here with him for the next few days."

Maya, being someone who did not know when to back down when she should have, sat down next toLeanna. She would not take 'no' for an answer. "I'm the kind of person who keeps the end of mybargain. I will see through it no matter what it takes. I said I would help you take care of the child, and I

will do it."

Zoe could not stand Maya digging her own grave as she interjected, "Stop it. Don't you realize thatLeanna is doing just fine on her own?"

"I'm just—" Alas, before Maya could finish her sentence, Zoe had already dragged her out of the room.

Finally, the ward became silent once more. Leanna gently placed her child on the bed, leaned againstthe bedside as she closed her eyes, and let out a weary sigh.

At the same time, Jonathan was reporting to Aidan outside the hospital, "Mr. Pearson, we havethoroughly investigated anyone who made contact with the young master while he was with thePearsons. The two nannies stayed by the young master's side the entire time, and I believe no oneelse had the opportunity to harm him. As for the nannies, I also looked into their backgrounds andfamilies, and I can confirm that they told the truth. So, could it be that the Pearsons had nothing to dowith this?"

Meanwhile, Aidan already had a thought in mind as he was certain that the Pearsons were far frominnocent. Hence, he ordered, "Never mind that for now. Go and check all the medications and medicalsupplies that the Pearsons had their hands on. Make a detailed list for me."

Jonathan nodded. "Got it. I'll do it right away."

Aidan was just about to leave when he suddenly remembered something important. "Wait, have youarranged everything for Justin's departure?"

"Yes, he will be leaving tomorrow afternoon."

"I believe Sienna will not give up that easily. She'll leave some people to keep an eye on Justin, andthese people will appear once he lands, whether the aim is to protect him or to do something else.Have someone secretly follow them and replace out their identities."

"Got it."

Aidan called Naomi after Jonathan left to ask her about her experience when she was with thePearsons.

Naomi tried her best to recall what had happened as she replied, "Well, they took the child away themoment I arrived. I didn't see him until the next day, and I didn't leave his side until the night youcame."

He continued asking, "Did they give him any medicine?"

She replied, "The child had a slight cold at the time, but I checked the medicine, and there was noproblem." She sensed something was off and asked, "Is something wrong? Has something happenedto the child?"

"There is indeed an issue, but we haven't figured out the cause yet."

She gave it a long hard thought about the entire ordeal, and she finally struck gold after a while. So,she spoke hesitantly, "I remember I checked the medicine multiple times. So, it should not be aproblem… Oh wait, the doctor gave the child a shot of nutrient solution."

"A nutrient solution?"
