You're The Best Medicine For Me

Chapter 31: Shirley’s Heart was Softened and She Decided to Visit Him

Cameron had walked into the room at that moment with a phone in his hand.

Shirley looked up after she had detected some stir, and she asked when her eyes were laid on her

phone which was in his hands, “Who is it, Cameron?”

“It’s from the Moore family.”

Shirley’s brows were furrowed once she had heard that name, and she said briskly without a single hint

of hesitation, “Don’t let me know if it’s from the Moore family.”

Since she had already made up her mind to leave this place, she should cut off any chances of her © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

looking back.

After all, there was nothing more precious to her than her two babies in this world, so she could let go

of anything just to protect them.

She couldn’t say for sure that Sabrina would not find out about the fact that Bryan had repeatedly

approached her kids. If by any chance Sabrina were to misconstrue his actions and thought that she

had intended to use the children to seduce him, it would be too troublesome then.

“But it’s Madame Moore whom is on the call, and she has mentioned that Mr. Moore is in a critical

state…”

“What?” Shirley’s expression froze upon hearing the bad news, and the two children in her arms had

even turned their bodies around to stare at Cameron as well.

Emma’s sobbing had stopped for a while as she was dumbstruck and petrified by the shocking news,

but she soon bawled her eyes out again and asked desperately while grabbing onto Shirley’s clothing,

“Has Daddy died, Mommy?”

Was he dead!!

The word had struck terror into Shirley as she could not bear to think about the consequences that

would ensue if that were to happen.

If Bryan were to pass away from this, how could she possibly leave this place in one piece?

Even though she was not the one to blame for his current state, but the Moore family would still try to

find hundreds of excuses to drag her into this mess.

Jacob put on a stern look and bellowed coldly, “Shut your mouth.”

Emma hurriedly raised her hands and covered her mouth, and even though she had made an utmost

effort to suppress her crying, but tears kept streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably while her

shoulders were twitching with long, racking sobs.

Jacob suggested in a calm manner, “I think it’s better for you to pay Daddy a visit to see how he’s

doing, Mommy. He’s not to blame for the incident that has happened today as we’re the ones whom

have clung onto him. I give you my word that Emma and I won’t ever find Daddy again from now

onwards, and we will go to kindergarten every day without fail.”

In any case, what’s more important was to be able to stay here for now as nobody knew what the future

would hold for them.

“Please, Mommy. We won’t go to Daddy again, and I promise that I will attend kindergarten tomorrow.”

Emma swiftly picked up her bag after making her promise and fished out the two tubes of perfume that

she had stolen from Shirley’s workroom. She immediately stuffed them into her hands while pleading

again, “I have returned your perfume to you, Mommy, so please go and see Daddy now.”

Emma had clutched onto Shirley’s pants and was constantly shaking her grip on her to try to swerve

her mind, while Jacob had also tightened his little fists and stared at Shirley with his eyes full of

expectations.

Shirley clenched her fists and gazed down at them with a solemn expression, “This will be the last time.

I’ll take a look at how he’s doing, so go and have some rest now.”

“That’s great, Mommy!” Emma excitedly threw herself at her and hugged her thigh upon hearing

Shirley’s decision.

Jacob had also come near to Shirley, but his intention was not to wrap his arms around her thigh like

Emma had done as he had pulled Emma away from her instead, “Why are you still holding on to

Mommy’s legs? Let go at once so that Mommy can hasten to save Daddy’s life.”

“Hurry up and get going, Mommy.” Emma instantly released her tight grip on Shirley the moment some

senses had been knocked into her.

Shirley did not know whether she ought to cry or laugh at their thoughtfulness as they had always been

reluctant to let her go by clasping their arms around her thighs whenever she had to be away from

home, but now they were actually urging her to leave on their own volition.

It would be a lie to say that she was not upset at all.

Bryan had somehow taken away some of her children’s love towards her.

When she had been pushed out of the bedroom by her kids, the door had shut on her at once.

Cameron was left flabbergasted from the scene just now as he stared at Shirley with a look of

consternation on his face, “Mr.… Mr. Moore is their father?”

Shirley looked slightly startled by his abrupt question, but she promptly raised her head and cast a

glance towards Cameron while feigning her composure with a light laugh, “No, Mr. Moore just looks a

lot like their father, so I think both of them… probably miss their Daddy a little too much.”

Cameron was Mildred’s junior, and even though Mildred was her bosom friend whom she had taken

into her confidence, Cameron was not her close friend at all.

It was better to keep the children’s background a secret just to be safe.

Cameron was even more astonished by her answer, “No wonder! I have always thought that Jacob

looks like the Moore Group’s successor. Now it all makes sense.”

The phone in his hand had rung again the moment he had just finished his sentence, and he hurriedly

passed it to Shirley at once.

Shirley took over the phone and picked up the call while trotting out of the house, and sure enough an

aged voice had sounded from the other end of the call as expected, “Cameron, what did Dr. Thomas…”

“I’m Paisley, Madame Moore.” She pulled open the door and walked straight to the garage to enter her

car.

Before Madame Moore had even briefed her on the current situation, she promptly started her car and

said, “I’m on my way now, so don’t worry too much and stay calm. I’ll be there in around half an hour.”

“Alright, that’s great. Drive safe then.” A thrilled voice rang in her ear, and the call was hung up in the

next moment.

Meanwhile, all the medical personnel were standing outside the VIP room in the hospital as no one had

the courage to take even one step further.

Sabrina stood before Scarlett as she urged her with a perturbed look on her face, “Bryan is running a

high fever, Madame Moore, so how could he last for half an hour more? If we still do not manage to get

the medicine into him to cool down his fever right now, I’m afraid it would be detrimental to his wounds.”

Scarlett’s brows were deeply furrowed as she turned around to stare into the room through the window.

Bryan was still not cooperating with the treatment despite her presence here, and he had even pricked

the hands of all the nurses that had gone into the room.

However, the doctor had already cautioned them that his wound was already infected which had

caused him to run a high fever of 42 degrees, and his temperature had even climbed higher instead of

dropping in the past few hours. If this continued, his life would be in danger.

Sabrina knew that Scarlett was moved by her words seeing that Scarlett had not stood in her way

immediately.

If Sabrina could manage to put Bryan on the intravenous drip and get the antipyretic into him before

that doctor, Paisley, had arrived, then there was nothing else that the doctor could do once she was

here.

Scarlett even had to be thankful to her by the time she had successfully calmed Bryan down and kept

him under control.

“I have always been by his side all these years whenever he has fallen ill and is required to take his

medicine and shots, Madame Moore. Although I couldn’t help much in getting him to fall asleep now, he

still needs someone whom can take care of him by his side at this moment.” Sabrina walked towards

Scarlett and placed both her hands on her arms as she continued.

Scarlett lowered her head and shot a glance towards the pair of hands on her arms, and after casting

her glimpse towards the person inside the room again with her whitened face which exuded an air of

despondency, she finally nodded in agreement.

Sabrina rejoiced in her heart at Scarlett’s response, and she hurriedly promised, “Don’t you worry about

it, Madame Moore. I will not let you down.”

“Go in now and be careful.” Scarlett uttered while turning her face away.

Sabrina was still slightly touched to hear that she had asked her to be more careful as it had proven

that Scarlett was still a human being with conscience after all.

Although Scarlett had always disliked her, Sabrina was the one that would first come to her mind

whenever she had to deal with matters regarding Bryan.

Sabrina nodded in reply and promptly pushed open the door to head inside the room.

She walked straight towards Bryan after she had entered the ward in a manner that was full of

assurance as if her success of getting him to listen to her was already in the bag. When she had gotten

closer, she grabbed his hand and called out to him gently, “Bryan!”

“Get lost!”

“Ah!”

Bryan had swung his hands and flung her away from him before she even had the chance to lay her

hands on his arms.

His unexpected reaction had caught her by surprise; hence she had tumbled down to the ground as

she shrieked out of fear.

Everyone whom was standing by outside the room was on tenterhooks while they took in the scene

which had caused them to shiver in their boots.

In the end, Scarlett had to order someone else to tow Sabrina out of the room, and it was at that

moment when she was being dragged out that Shirley had arrived at the hospital…
