Chapter 2142 What Happened To rk


    rk saw Melissa and greeted her immediately, "Grandma, I missed you so much!"


    Melissa was so happy to have rk back. She stepped forward and held rk in her arms. "rk, my


    sweetheart! You''re finally back. Are you okay? My poor boy. You must have suffered a lot."


    Melissa checked if rk had any injuries, scanning the young boy from head to toe. She repeatedly


    asked if rk was fine or if anything was feeling off.


    rk couldn''t help butugh at his grandmother''s antics. He answered, "Grandma, I''m fine. I pretended


    to be sick to fool the kidnappers. I escaped once they were distracted."


    Despite trying to sound as carefree as possible, rk had no idea how he had been saved. He didn''t


    know how he got back to his mother. He thought his scheme must have worked out, which made him


    feel proud.


    Upon hearing this, Melissa was taken aback. "My brave boy, don''t do it again! It''s too risky to fool the


    bad guys! If they had found out you were fooling them they might have done something bad to you.


    And your father said you had a fever. Was this a part of your scheme?"


    "Grandma, I got wet from the rain on purpose, so I..."


    "Don''t do that again. I was so worried about you." Melissa held rk tightly. Ovee with emotions,


    her eyes brimmed with tears.


    Sheryl''s eyes welled up with tears as she watched the scene unfold.


    "Mom, why did youe here so early? I was nning to tell you about itter," Sheryl said as Melissa


    tried to control herself.


    Melissa''s hand caressed rk''s cheeks. "How could I fall asleep? I had nightmares all night. Oh, forget


    it. What''s important is that rk is back and safe. By the way, how did you find rk? Charles didn''t


    say anything on the phone.


    "It''s a long story, Mom. I''ll tell youter," Sheryl said.


    cated, Melissa remembered she had brought breakfast with her. She opened the cover of the lunch


    box, and the smell of chicken porridge filled the room.


    Sheryl helped Melissa put all the dishes on the bedside table, filling two bowls with food. One for


    herself and one for rk.


    Sheryl used a scoop to stir the porridge, cooling it down before handing it over to her son.


    After the porridge had cooled down, Sheryl started to feed rk. But before she could continue,


    Melissa stopped her and offered to do it. "Let me feed rk. Eat your own."


    Sheryl nodded.


    Before Melissa could resume feeding rk, the young boy gasped. "Ouch! My head!"


    Sheryl was startled and turned to look at her son.


    rk fell back on the bed, rolling with his head buried in his hands as if he was in extreme pain.


    Scared, Melissa put the spoon down and hurried to help rk up.


    But as soon as Melissa touched rk, he pushed her away. "Don''t touch me! Your touch feels painful."


    The two were shocked. What had just happened?


    Although ovee with anxiety, Sheryl tried to sit still and observe rk.


    "rk, tell me what''s going on? Which part hurts?" Sheryl asked, concerncing her voice.


    Meanwhile, rk was rolling on the bed, clearly in pain.


    Seeing her son in pain, clutched Sheryl''s heart in a vice grip. She couldn''t just stand there while her


    son suffered. Rushing out, she hastily called a doctor.


    As Sheryl turned to call the hospital staff, Melissa clutched at her arm. Frantic with worry, she asked,


    "Sheryl, what should we do?"


    "Mom, I''m going to call the doctor. Stay here and look after him," Sheryl said. She hastily turned and


    left the room.


    Almost missing Sheryl, Charles came in, followed by a few doctors and nurses.


    "What''s wrong with rk?" Charles asked anxiously as he held Sheryl in his arms.


    Sheryl pulled herself together to answer, "I wanted to call the doctor. rk said he felt pain all over his


    body."


    Charles became serious. He quickly turned around and asked the medical staff outside the door,


    "Director Liu, please do a thorough checkup at once!"


    The leading doctor nodded before he motioned for the staff to follow him inside.


    Several nurses came over and started checking rk''s vitals, drawing blood to run tests. The little


    boy''s body had started to shake.


    rk''s body was resisting the doctor. He kept writhing in pain like a mad dog losing its mind. His small


    body struggled desperately. All the people around him started to get more worried.


    Hearing the painful moaninging out of her son''s mouth, Sheryl couldn''t help but burst into tears.


    She leaned against Charles'' shoulder and sobbed.


    Charles held her in his arms, but he was unable to say anything tofort her.


    Now he believed what Rob had said. The vicious man had indeed poisoned rk. And now it seemed


    that the poison was working in his son''s delicate body.


    Director Liu finished all the tests on rk, his face serious. He looked at Charles and said, "This child


    seems to have been poisoned by some drug. We still need to do some tests to confirm. Meanwhile,


    we''ll give him a sedative to calm him down."


    "Okay, please do," Charles said.


    Sheryl started to tremble, gripping Charles'' hand tightly.


    Never in her wildest dreams did Sheryl expect to see her son go through something as horrible as this.


    If she could, she would take all the pain in rk''s body and suffer for him.


    rk stopped struggling after Director Liu sedated him. His body had stopped shaking as he finally


    calmed down.


    Melissa, scared out of her wits, covered her mouth in horror and asked, "Doctor, what''s wrong with my


    grandson?"


    "Madam, we haven''t confirmed yet. We need to run more tests on him," Director Liu exined.


    Sheryl watched her son intently. Seeing the pain on rk''s face fade away, she started breathing


    easier.


    It was the scariest thing Sheryl ever had to go through. Not knowing what was happening to her son,


    wed through her insides, anxiety eating her up.


    "Charles, is rk..."


    Charles gripped Sheryl''s hand tofort her. "I have an idea about what happened. I''ll tell youter.


    Let me just check on the tests they''re running on rk."


    Although Sheryl was worried about rk, she had no choice but to follow Charles. She nodded her


    head and said gently, "Ask the doctor not to let our boy feel too much pain."


    "I will," Charles agreed and followed the medical workers, as they wheeled his son out.


    Silence ensued in the ward. As fear mellowed down in her system, Melissa grabbed Sheryl''s hand.


    "What happened to rk just now?" Melissa couldn''t stop worrying.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    As much as she wanted to assure Melissa that everything was fine, Sheryl also didn''t know what was


    happening with rk. The most urgent thing was to find out the cause of rk''s pain and give him the


    correct treatment as soon as possible.


    She thought rk had just had a normal fever. But from Charles and the doctor''s reaction, it seemed


    that they already had an idea of what was going wrong with rk.


    ''What did they know?'' Sheryl asked herself, clueless.


    She looked at Melissa but didn''t know what to say.


    She had a vague feeling that rk''s symptoms must have something to do with the kidnapping. There


    was a niggling sense in her mind that the kidnapper must have done something to rk.
