"Daddy, you can count on me to get the job done!" Josh announced with his chest held high, assuring his father he would get everything sorted out.
"Great! Once you're there, just tell him Randy has slept off after spending the entire day sorting out the system on my behalf. If he inquires the whereabouts of Venus, tell him Venus isn't available because she isn't feeling well."
Josh responded with a nod and assured his father, "Alright, Daddy! I'll keep that in mind! You can count on me!"
"It's getting cold out there. Make sure you have your jacket with you and put on your mask once you're inside the ward. I'll leave the rest to you."
"I'm well aware of the things I'm supposed to do, Daddy! If you're tired, just go ahead and take a short nap when we're not around! You need to take good care of yourself as well!"
Zayn was touched by his son's reminder. He had always thought that Josh was rather indifferent, but he was wrong…
A few minutes later, Josh made his way out of the little's girl ward with Benard.
Meanwhile, Naya was in the middle of a discussion with the rest of the pediatricians since they were in desperate need of an alternative treatment plan for the little girl.
Zayn was there throughout the session. Thus, they were on pins and needles due to the presence of the intimidating figure.
Thankfully, Venus's temperature was fine again after a series of treatments. Those in the ward, including Zayn, heaved a sigh of relief since Venus's life was no longer in danger.
When Zayn was about to leave, those in the ward started shrieking the moment he was a step away from the ward, "D-Dr, Goman!"
Zayn turned around and saw Venus retching and convulsing again.
"Venus!" Zayn rushed to his daughter's side and yelled, "What's going on? Someone! Anyone! Answer me!"
Naya finally returned to the ward with the pediatricians. They were equally dumbfounded and astonished when they saw the little girl convulsing in Zayn's arms.
The anxious Naya announced, "Mr. Giblo, you need to stay away from her and leave the rest to us!"
The infuriated Zayn warned, "If anything happens to my daughter, I'll send all of you to hell to keep her company!"
The pediatricians in the ward started trembling in fear. One of them felt her knees turning to jelly and collapsed to the ground as a result of the man's warning.
Naya knew she couldn't afford to let loose of her emotions. She put on a strong front and asserted, "As infuriated as you might be, you need to let us tend to her!"
It was then the infuriated man inched away from his daughter and stood next to her throughout the upcoming session.
Venus's hands were full of needles; as a result, the doctors started prickling the little girl's forehead with needles since they had run out of places to prick her.
Zayn's hands had long balled into fists, indicating he was infuriated as little Venus had never gone through anything of that sort in spite of being relatively weak as compared to her peers.
One of them suggested, "We need to rush her to the ICU at once!"
Zayn started trembling in fear when he thought of the things awaiting him and his daughter. He gaped at the announcement and asked, "Come again?"
Brandy rushed over and stopped Zayn from going berserk and throwing punches at the innocent doctors. "Mr. Giblo, you need to calm down!"
Naya started weeping and begged, "Mr. Giblo, we need to rush her to the ICU at once for her sake! If anything happens to her, I'll atone for the sins with my life, but we need you to have faith in us for the time being!"
Out of nowhere, another man announced at the top of his lungs, "Hurry up and get everything ready!"
Josh had returned with Thompson next to him. It turned out Thompson had figured out the truth after sweet- talking Josh. He was surprised when he found out things were much worse than he had thought the moment he reached Kindness Hospital.
"Venus!"
Torrents of grief had long streamed down Josh's cheeks, but he was afraid of startling others and making things worse for Venus.
Thus, he resisted the urge to wail and ended up shivering against his will.
"Just get going!" Benard gestured at the doctors in the ward to take Venus out to the ICU.
Zayn, who was on the verge of breaking down, threw a powerful punch in the wall. Along with the thundering sound was a slight shake in the room.
