Get Better Part One
"Did you say you fed Alpha with some pills your mommy left here?" Carla was shocked. "My goodness. Gamma, you can't feed Alpha random pills."
Worrying that Alpha's condition could deteriorate, Carla immediately asked the bodyguard to get Ellen.
Apart from Gamma's young age, Carla was worried that Alpha would have consumed some medicine that could worsen her condition.
At that time, Ellen had fallen asleep. Upon knowing that Gamma fed Alpha with some unknown pills, she rushed to the medical room and began complaining in Ustranasion. "Why couldn't you guys keep an eye on a little girl?"
Immediately, Carla apologized, "Dr. Solova, I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour. It was indeed our mistake. I've contacted the hospital and can admit Alpha there tomorrow morning. Anyway, can you please check up on Alpha now? I'm worried that something bad might happen."
Ellen had no choice but to perform a checkup on Alpha.
It was already 2 a.m., and Gamma couldn't help but yawn and rub her eyes tiredly. Freda decided to bring Gamma back to the other room so that she could get some rest.
Although Gamma had seemingly caused trouble, they knew that she did it because she was worried about her sister.
When going upstairs, Freda comforted Gamma. "Aunt Carla got impatient because she was worried about Alpha. Gamma, don't be sad about it."
"I understand…"
After checking up on Alpha, Ellen couldn't help but exclaim, "It's strange! Her fever has gone down while her overall condition has gotten better."
Carla was taken aback by Ellen's words. "Huh? Are you sure?"
Ellen hastily began to draw a blood sample from Alpha. "Let me conduct a blood test for her. We'll know the result soon."
"All right." Carla dared not go to bed and chose to wait in the medical room.
Half an hour later, Ellen rushed toward Carla with the test report and said excitedly, " There are some changes in her blood. Although the indices have only improved slightly, it's still a good start."
Carla was overjoyed. "Great! It seems that the medicine has accidentally helped Alpha."
Meanwhile, Ellen was also delighted. "Indeed. Can you ask Gamma what pills did she feed Alpha? Are there any left?"
"Let me ask her." With that, Carla rushed toward Gamma's room.
At that time, Freda had just helped Gamma take a bath and put her to bed.
Gamma rubbed her eyes and looked sleepy.
Suddenly, Carla barged in and grabbed Gamma's hand. Impatiently, she asked, "Gamma, you know what? The pills that you fed Alpha just now have worked! Alpha's fever has gone down, while her blood indices have also improved! You've saved Alpha! How amazing!"
"Is it true?" Gamma was thrilled, for she knew that her mom's treatment worked.
Carla continued to ask hastily, "Are there any extra pills that your mommy has left here?" It's not enough to have the pills only once. She might have to continue having them, and thus—"
"No, " Gamma shook her head and replied, "but I think Alpha will recover soon and doesn't have to go to the hospital."
A slight disappointment was written over Carla's face. "Really? Well, do you know what the pills are? Is there any label?"
"No." Gamma shook her head again. "Mommy produced the pills on her own. As such, there is neither a label nor a name."
Carla's heart sank once again. "All right… Well, get some rest. I won't disturb you now."
"Okay. Good night, Aunt Carla." Gamma waved at her like an obedient child.
As Carla was about to leave, she noticed a leaf stained with some soil on the window frame. After coming to her senses, she walked toward the window to close it. Suddenly, she realized that one of the branches of the osmanthus tree outside was out of shape.
As a thought flashed through her mind, Carla turned to Gamma and asked, "Gamma, where did you get the pills?"
"Mommy gave the pills to me a long time ago. I've always kept them in my bag since then."
After responding groggily, Gamma hugged her little pillow and fell asleep.
