NovelOnlineThe doctor issued another prescription to Shelly, saying, "Go and get a blood test.e back here once the results are available." "Okay, Doctor. Should we give her the fever-reducing medicine first or take the blood test first?" Shelly asked, still concerned.
"Give her the fever-reducing medicine first. Then proceed with the blood test," the doctor instructed.
"All right, Doctor. My child was fine before. She has never been sick. I don't know why she suddenly got a fever," Shelly said, standing from the chair with her baby in her arms.
"How old is your child?" "She's six months old." "That's normal. Newborns carry antibodies from the mother's body until they reach six months, so they generally don't get sick. After six months, you need to take better care of them," the doctor explained.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRealization dawned on Shelly, and she thanked the doctor before leaving the examination room.
Fergus took the fever-reducing medicine and checked its dosage.
"Shelly, go over there and sit down. Everything will be fine. We also had fevers when we were young, and now we're perfectly fine, aren't we?" Fergus reassured her while uncapping the bottle and pouring out the appropriate dosage.
"Yes. I thought she had a strong constitution since she had never been sick before. But the doctor just toldthat newborns carry antibodies from the mother's body until six months, which is why they don't get sick easily. My daughter just turned six months, and her antibodies are gone, so she got sick. I'm really worried that she'll get sick frequently in the future," Shelly said as she took the medicine and fed it to her daughter. "Be good, darling. Once you take the medicine, the fever will go down. Mommy knows you must be feeling ufortable right now. It's Mommy's fault for not taking good care of you. Mommy will be more attentive in the future." Audrey obediently drank the medicine, enticed by its pleasant aroma.
"Your daughter is really well-behaved! What's her name?" Fergus asked. "Audrey Taylor." "Audrey?" Fergus found the nsomewhat unique. "It sounds beautiful." "Fergus, thank you so much! If you weren't here, I wouldn't have known what to do." Shelly put the measuring cup in a bag as she expressed her gratitude.
"It's nothing. There's no need to keep thanking me. What's that piece of velire paper you're holding?" Fergus noticed that Shelly had a document in her hand. "Oh, this is for the blood test. I need to pay for it first," Shelly explained.
Once Shelly was done speaking, Fergus took the document and went to the payment counter by himself.
Shelly watched Fergus standing in line, feeling ovee by emotions.
Her mother was right. She was not the kind of strong, independent woman portrayed in television s, and she still longed for man she could rely on; after all had been quite challengemet taking care of a child on her own belongs to Content If there was someone who happened to like Audrey and who readily offered their help, she had no reason to refuse.
After the payment was made, Shelly carried Audrey to have her blood sample taken.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAudrey was still too young to realize what was happening, and when the Qu nurse took her blood, she scowled in pain and was about to burst out crying. Fergus immediately unlocked his phone and distracted her with pictures.
Once the blood sample was taken, Fergus put his phone away.
"You are great with kids," Shellymented with a smile.
