My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 199: Acute Leukemia 

Trembling with fear, Wendy took off Ray's sock with numb fingers.His foot was Stained red with blood.Her eyes widened in shock as if she had seen something terrible.

Seeing the expression on Wendy's face, Ryan realized that something was wrong.

He held her hand and said, "Don't worry.It is just a small wound.We can deal with it when we reach home."

"You don't know anything! He can't bleed!" Wendy shouted.

She took off her coat and crumpled it into a ball.She put it on the wound and applied pressure.

After a while, she removed it.

The wound was still bleeding.

"It's not stopping! Oh, God! I'm unable to stop it! What should I do? Let's take him to the hospital."

Only then did Ryan realize that something was terribly wrong.

He looked closely at the wound on Raymond's foot.

It was a size of a fingernail.

There was no glass or any sharp object that was pierced into his skin.

Neither was the wound deep.

Ideally, by now, it should have stopped oozing blood.

However, even after quite some time had passed, the wound was still bleeding.

It showed no sign of stopping.

The expression on Ryan's face became serious.

"Speed up! Go back to my parents'!"

"No! I need to find Leo.We need to go to Hopewell Hospital!"

"Leo's at my parents’."

"Then go there.Please hurry!"

Wendy covered Ray's foot with the clean towel and wrapped it with her clothes.

She did not dare let go.

"Medicine! Go home and get the medicine!"

"What medicine?"

"There is a bottle of medicine on the bedside table in Ray's bedroom.It has an English label.Bring it to your parents’ house quickly."

"Okay!"

Ryan had a grim look on his face as he made a phone call.

He barked orders into the phone and hung up.

He turned to look at Wendy.

His voice was calm as he said, "I've asked a servant to fetch the medicine.It will be delivered by the time we arrive."

Wendy held Ray tightly and nodded numbly.

Ryan ordered the driver, "Hurry up!"

"Sir, I am already touching 100 km/h.The speed limit on this road is 80."

Ryan looked at the road and saw no other cars.

He said decisively, "Speed up!"

The driver gritted his teeth and floored the accelerator.

It had taken him half an hour to reach Raymond, but on his way back, he made the drive in fifteen.

It was dark outside.

Ryan quickly got out of the car with Raymond in his arms.

This time Wendy did not refuse him.

She was concentrating on putting pressure on Raymond's foot.

"Leo! Come here!" Ryan yelled as soon as he reached the living room.

Leo immediately appeared at the door.

"Sirl"

"Check Ray's condition!"

Leo strode over to them and saw that Raymond was unconscious.

His face was unusually red.

He frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"He is bleeding," Wendy sobbed.

"Leo, please try to stop the bleeding."

"Bleeding? Oh, God!"

Leo's expression changed.

He turned sideways and said, "Get him to a bed!"

After taking one look at Leo, Ryan carried Raymond to his room.

Josie and Luke were in Precious’ room.

As soon as they heard the commotion, they walked out of the room.

They were stunned to see the anxiety on everyone's face.

Luke asked, "What happened?"

"Ray is hurt."

"What?"

Luke was shocked.He then turned to look at his mother.

Josie was confused.

"I just asked them to lock him in a room in the house atop Maple Hill.I didn't order anyone to hurt him." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Ryan's eyebrows lowered over his dark eyes.

That meant Ray himself managed to escape and hurt himself in the bargain.Ryan looked at Josie sharply.

She looked a bit guilty but refused to admit her mistake.

She glanced at Raymond and said, "It's just a scrape.Why are you making such a big fuss about it?"

Then she turned to look at Wendy and reminded her, "Wendy, I hope you remember your promise to me!"

‘This woman promised me that as long as her son is safe, she will stay out of Ryan's life.

Then what is she doing here? What is going on?’ Wendy's pale face turned red, and her eyes flashed in anger.

She whirled to look at Josie and snapped, "If anything happens to my son, I will not spare you!"Her eyes were as cold as ice, which made people tremble in their shoes.

Josie frowned and said sulkily, "It's just a scrape.Do you want to threaten me with that?"

"That's enough, Mrs.Oliver!" Leo yelled.

"This child is suffering from acute leukemia.This means that as long as there is a wound on the body, it will bleed without stop.And it is very likely to contract infection’

There was pin-drop silence in the room.

Leo's words were like a bomb.It stunned people and made them difficult to come to their senses.

Josie was dumbfounded.

Not just Josie, but Luke too was shocked.

He looked at Leo in a daze and said in a gasp, "Acute leukemia?"

"Yes.That is why this boy cannot be injured or infected."

Luke looked down at the unconscious Raymond and swallowed.

"You were aware of it?"

Leo didn't deny it.

The truth was that he had made a deal with Wendy.

When Leo found out that Wendy was the cure for Ryan's insomnia, he begged her to help Ryan.

Wendy agreed, but in return, she had asked Leo to do her a favor.

She hoped that Leo could help find a bone marrow donor that could match Raymond.

That was the time Leo knew that Raymond was diagnosed with acute leukemia.

Since he had promised Wendy to keep it a secret from others, he had told no one.

He had to break his promise here because it was evident that Raymond's illness could not be hidden any longer.

As compared to everyone's shocked expression, Ryan was calm.

There was some seriousness on his face, and his jaw was tightly clamped shut.

He had guessed something on the way back.

"Where is the medicine?"

"Here!"

At that very moment, the medicine was delivered by a servant.

Wendy immediately grabbed it and said, "Water! Someone, get me some water!"

A servant hurriedly brought some warm water.

Wendy opened Raymond's mouth and put the medicine in his mouth.

She pinched his nose and then poured two mouthfuls of water in his mouth.

However, instead of swallowing, the medicine flowed out of the corner of Raymond's mouth.

Because of the high fever, he was unable to swallow.

"Ray, be a sweetheart and swallow the medicine! Quickly.You will feel better after taking it."

Wendy tried a couple of times more, but Raymond still failed to swallow it.

With tears in her eyes, Wendy poured the water into her mouth.

Then she placed her mouth over Raymond's and forced the water to flow into his mouth.

Fortunately, it was successful this time.

Seeing that it worked, Wendy went limp with relief.

Tears rolled down her cheeks.Ryan quickly supported her.

This time, she didn't push him away.

Instead, she closed her eyes and leaned weakly in his arms.

Everyone who noticed it was moved.

Fortunately, Leo had already prepared an antipyretic, so he quickly put Raymond on a drip.

Wendy waited next to the bed.She held Raymond's hand in hers and looked at his cute face.She was unwilling to leave him alone even for a second.She raised her head and looked at Leo.Her desperate eyes held some hope.

"Leo, as long as Ray's fever is brought down, he can still survive, right?"
