Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Hanging by a Thread (Part 1)
Raina said honestly, "It’s terrible. The poison in him is severe."
"Is it so severe that even Mommy can’t cure it?"
"I don’t have a better method at the moment."
Casper North also grew worried, "Then what about Baby..."
"There will be a way." Raina suddenly said, "Baby will definitely get better."
"Yeah." Shea and Casper nodded in unison, "We trust Mommy."
When they came out of The Hawthorne Manor, they saw a small car parked not far away, and it was Anya Forrest waiting outside.
"Anya’s Mommy!"
The two little ones let go of Raina’s hand and dashed toward Anya.
Anya hugged each of them with one arm.
Raina watched from the side, her lips involuntarily curling into a smile.
...
After returning to the apartment, Raina buried herself in the study.
Anya, as usual, took care of the two little ones, accompanying them for meals, lulling them to sleep, ensuring that these trivial matters wouldn’t disturb Raina.
At ten in the evening, the study door opened.
Raina had showered and heated up the food from the fridge.
Just as she put down her chopsticks, Anya came out of the room with keys in her hand, "Let’s go. I’ll drive you over."
"I can drive myself."
"Stop with the nonsense. I’ll drive you, and you better save your strength."
Thinking of Baby’s situation, Raina didn’t refuse.
"Mommy."
Hearing the voice, Raina turned around and saw the two little ones in pajamas standing at the door, "We’ll wait for you at home, good luck."
Raina beamed, "Good luck!"
...
An hour later.
A car silently stopped on the small road beside the old Hawthorne residence.
Anya looked at Raina, "Are you sure you can get in?"
"No problem, I’m already very familiar with The Hawthorne Family." Raina methodically placed the things in the medical kit on herself, and after confirming she had everything, she opened the car door.
"Raina." Anya called out to her.
Raina puzzled, "What’s wrong?"
"Be careful. I do feel for the child, but to me, you’re the most important."
Raina immediately smiled, "I know, Anya, rest assured."
With that said, she got out of the car.
Anya watched Raina’s figure disappear into the night, her gaze becoming extremely complex.
She thought Raina hadn’t noticed how much she cared about this child.
If she only cared about this child, it would be fine, but Anya feared that Raina cared about more than just the child.
Elias Hawthorne is good, but just as she said earlier, he’s too good and not suitable for Raina.
Raina should be a free spirit, not confined by these affluent clans.
Anya knew she should advise Raina, yet she didn’t know how.
Love is like drinking water; only the one experiencing it knows if it’s cold or warm.
Besides, if it could be deterred, it wouldn’t be love.
Just like back then, hadn’t her parents advised her too?
...
Raina deftly climbed into The Hawthorne Manor, avoiding all the guards’ routes according to memory, and quickly headed for the medical room.
The medical room’s guard wasn’t tight, especially at this late hour; the on-duty nurse was dozing off.
Raina lightened her steps, passed in front of her, and pushed the door into the ward.
As soon as she stepped inside, a low hoarse voice sounded.
"You’ve come."
The next second, the room’s lights suddenly turned on.
Seeing the man sitting on the corner sofa, Raina was a bit surprised, "Did you know I was coming?"
