Chapter 1215 I Want Candy

Thinking that Amanda's headache was caused by a lack of sleep, everyone brushed it off and simply tried to let her get enough rest.

However, at five o'clock in the morning, Amanda's headache acted up again. She would have fallen out of bed if Cooper, who was at her bedside at the time, had not reached out to catch her.

"Uncle Cooper, my head hurts..." Amanda whined, knocking her head against Cooper's chest in hopes of alleviating the headache.

Cooper's heart ached terribly when he saw that her eyes were red from crying. Seized with a sense of urgency, he had Sally call one of the doctors on duty into the ward.

Amanda's CT scan results from before showed that she was fine, yet the headache was tormenting her to the point where she wanted to bang her head against the wall. The doctor examined her but could not replace the cause of her headache, and they dared not prescribe any medication for her, either.

As such, Cooper had no choice but to call Timothy and have him come over.

The latter arrived to see Amanda biting her lip from the pain. He quickly put a rubber mouth guard on her and gave her half a dosage of sedative.

It was dawn by the time Amanda wore herself out and went to sleep.

At present, Cooper asked Timothy frantically, "Didn't you say the headache was caused by a lack of sleep? Why did it recur all of a sudden?"

"I don't know," Timothy confessed. He had been a surgeon for years, yet that was the first time he had come across a case like Amanda's.

All her medical tests showed that she was fine physically, but her obvious pain and discomfort suggested otherwise.

Just then, Sally piped up, "I recall Harry putting something like a device in Mandy's ear."

She was giving Amanda a bath the other day when she noticed the scar behind the little girl's ear. It was only after she asked Cooper about it that she learned what had happened.

Timothy was reminded of that matter as well. Narrowing his eyes, he said, "The human brain is an extremely fragile organ. That micro-explosive device is made of aluminum alloy. As it's embedded inside Mandy's ear, over time, the bacteria on the surface of the metal could have slowly spread into her brain..."

That said, the non-invasive head CT scan and the magnetic resonance imaging he ordered to be performed on Amanda did not reveal any signs of bacterial infection in her brain.

When Cooper heard Timothy's explanation, he balled his fists.

He would have ripped Harry into pieces if the latter were still alive.

Later, Timothy called in a few of the most prominent pediatricians in the country. Using the medical equipment available, those pediatricians thoroughly examined Amanda's head.

Halfway through the examination, Amanda woke up and wailed that her head hurt. In the end, Timothy resorted to giving her another shot of sedative.

Standing at the side, Cooper was distressed to see the pain Amanda had to go through.

Even he knew that there was only so much sedative the human body could take. He did not want Timothy to administer any more doses to Amanda, but for as long as she was awake, the headache would continue to torment her.

Meanwhile, the doctors called in by Timothy had run all sorts of tests on Amanda, but those tests came back normal. Her brain was completely fine.

The results left these doctors stumped. Much like Timothy, it was the first time they had come across a case like Amanda's. Following that, the pediatricians held a meeting in one of the conference rooms to decide their next course of action, but none of them could come up with a feasible solution.

They did not want to prescribe any medication, either.

On that note, they failed to figure out the cause of Amanda's headaches, so they hesitated to give her medication when her condition was such an anomaly.

As things were, the doctors' hands were tied, but Timothy could not bear to see Amanda cry the moment she woke up. She was in such pain that not even her constraints could keep her from struggling wildly. Desperate to calm the child, he begged the pediatricians to prescribe something for her.

The doctors ended up prescribing common painkillers for Amanda. They were not quite as effective as everyone had hoped, but at least she stopped trying to hurt herself after taking them.

Cooper's whole attention was on Amanda at that point. He had Bertilla take over the company's affairs in his absence while he and Timothy pulled strings and consulted renowned pediatricians from everywhere.

Sally noted how much Cooper seemed to have aged within such a short time. He even looked like he had lost some weight.

It caused her heart to ache.

She, too, contacted her acquaintances, who were surgeons from military hospitals, but none of them could make sense of Amanda's condition despite running all kinds of tests on her. Amanda did not wake up until it was past ten o'clock. The painkillers had probably kicked in, so though her head still hurt, it was not so intolerable that she would cry.

When she woke up and saw Sally at her bedside, she called out feebly, "Aunt Sally."

Sally immediately rose to her feet, leaned close to Amanda, and asked gently, "Are you hungry?"

Amanda shook her head, then pursed her pale lips. "My mouth tastes bitter. Can I have candy?"

Sally grabbed her bag from the chair, only to replace out she was out of candies after she opened it. Caressing Amanda's face, she cooed, "Wait here. I'll go buy some for you." "Okay," the little girl replied.

The next moment, Sally summoned a nurse into the ward and had her keep an eye on Amanda. Only after that did she leave the ward and hurry to the first floor of the inpatient department to buy candies from the vending machine.

She bought a few packets of gummies and flavored drops.

After taking the few packets of candies out from the vending machine dispenser, she shoved them into her bag. To her surprise, she heard someone call out to her, "Ms. Loake."

Sally thought the voice sounded familiar, so she turned around to see who it was.
