Listen Audiobook Version:



Since Austin was born, she had never been sick. But lately, she didn't want to drink milk or water. She also never cried except when she was hungry or pooped. So, Austin's cry scared Grace out of her wits. She comforted Austin anxiously and subconsciously thought of Justin. Grace took out her phone and looked for Justin's number. But just as she was about to make the call, she suddenly thought of Vivian. Grace hesitated, then finally called Carson.

When Carson heard that Austin was sick, he immediately drove back. Meanwhile, Austin started vomiting after two mouthfuls of milk. She kept vomiting until she had vomited seemingly everything in her stomach. "Honey, please don't scare Mommy. Mommy will take you to the hospital immediately." Grace looked at the time and felt Carson was almost there. She carried Austin downstairs and waited for him.

As Carson's car arrived, Grace got in. She immediately said, "Don't go to Justin's hospital. Go to any other hospital but there!"

Carson glanced at her from the rearview mirror and silently started the car. He said nothing. Grace was so focused on Austin that she didn't notice Carson had driven her to the Southside Hospital. When the car stopped, she looked up and frowned. "Why are you taking me here?"

"It's always good to have an acquaintance in the hospital. Why are you deliberately avoiding him anyway?" Carson pursed his lips and took Austin from her. He carried Austin into the hospital quickly. As for Grace, she wasn't in the mood to talk to him anymore and followed him.

After going through the registration and meeting with the doctor, Grace's heart finally felt quite at ease. "I'll administer some IV fluids to keep her hydrated and she'll need to stay here for two days for observation. Don't worry, intestinal infection happens to a lot of babies. They tend to eat from their hands and pay little attention to hygiene. But their physical function, including their immune system, is still developing. It's easy for them to get sick."

Grace nodded. "Alright, thank you, doctor."

After the doctor left, Carson said guiltily, "Grace, I'm sorry. I didn't notice when Austin ate with her hand today. It's all my fault."

"It's normal for toddlers to eat with their hands. It has nothing to do with you," Grace looked at him in surprise and said gently. But Carson still blamed himself. He stayed in the ward and refused to go back.

It was already midnight. Seeing Carson hadn't left, Grace said softly, "Carson, go home. I can look after Austin myself."

Carson looked at the sleeping Austin, then Grace before finally nodding. "I'll come back in the morning."

"Okay, be careful on your way."

After the infusion, Austin stopped vomiting. She drank two mouthfuls of milk and fell asleep again. Grace sighed in relief and lay on the bed to sleep for a while.

The next morning, Carson bought breakfast and brought Austin a change of clothes and some daily necessities. Grace ate her breakfast and continued to stay by Austin's bed. The doctor came over and asked about the situation. After observing Austin briefly, he nodded lightly and left to visit another room.

The doctor's gesture sent a good signal, but Grace remained restless. Carson asked her to calm down, but she couldn't. As expected, Austin's condition got worse. In the afternoon, she started vomiting milk again.

Grace was burning with anxiety and ran to find a doctor. The doctor quickly examined the child and called a nurse. Seeing this, Carson walked out of the ward and called Justin.

Meanwhile, Justin was sending Vivian home.
