"What?" Mrs. Borah was bewildered.
Carla gave a terse explanation to her, and she nodded.
When they arrived at the private children's hospital, Naya was already standing at the entrance with her assistant waiting for them.
After that, Mrs. Borah carried Venus to the entrance while Carla carried her purse and followed them.
"What's wrong with her?"
Naya saw that the girl was experiencing severe malaise and quickly asked for an explanation.
After explaining her condition to Naya, Carla added, "This little girl is Mrs. Borah's granddaughter. Mrs. Borah's daughter, along with her husband, are currently working outstation, so she asked for my help instead and told me about the little girl's condition. I accompanied the two of them to the children's hospital, but it was filled with a surfeit amount of people. We had been waiting for too long, so we had no choice but to resort to your help…"
"It's okay. Let's focus on treating the girl first."
With Naya tending to Venus personally, there's no need for any registration or the other specific procedures to be done.
There were no qualms about Naya's skill as the exclusive doctor of the Giblo family. She was able to identify the problem in the blink of an eye and immediately prescribed medicines for Venus.
"It's just influenza that was messing with her body. Anyway, I've prescribed some medication for her, and it's best if she could get some rest. After that, she'll be as good as new."
"Besides, Miss Wigston, since you're here right now, I might as well help you with the wounds on your neck and your shoulders." Naya prescribed some medication for her.
"Okay, thanks." Carla then signaled Mrs. Borah with her eyebrows.
"Dr. Langhan, thank you for everything you've done for my granddaughter. I'll take her home to get some rest now, " said Mrs. Borah, after taking the hint.
"You're welcome. I'll get someone to send both of you home safely, " Dr. Langhan offered.
"It's fine. There's no need to trouble you with that. We can take a cab home, but thank you for the offer." Mrs. Borah carried Venus and hurried towards the exit.
Before they could reach the exit, however, Venus regained her consciousness and started yelling dazedly. "Mommy, mommy…"
"Venus, Mommy will be back home soon. Let's go home first." Mrs. Borah comforted her.
Carla then sent them off with her gaze.
"Miss Wigston, " called Naya.
"Coming…" Carla walked inside.
Naya helped her reapply bandages for her wounds and gave her some ointment and medicine. After that, she mentioned some important precautions to her and offered to drive her home as well.
Adamant, Carla continuously rejected her offer, and she sidled away when she had the chance.
Having exited the hospital, she saw Mrs. Borah waiting at the side of the road with Venus in her arms. They called a cab and left as quickly as they could.
From a distance, Naya witnessed all of it and was baffled by what happened. Carla sure is acting weird tonight…
Everything should be fine. If there was really something Carla wanted to hide from me, she wouldn't have come here seeking my help.
Feeling justified, Naya dropped the thought and continued on with her work.
It was already half-past three at midnight when Carla arrived home. Together with Mrs. Borah, they fed Venus the medicines and sung her to sleep.
Even though Mrs. Borah was exhausted, she still made something for Carla to sate her appetite. After seeing how tired Mrs. Borah was, Carla told her to prioritize her body and get some sleep while she kept watch over Venus.
Dawn came, and Venus's fever was finally going down.
Feeling relieved, Carla lay down beside her daughter and fell into a deep slumber until half-past six in the morning.
The rustling wind and chipping of birds outside then woke her up. "Sh_t, I'm gonna be marked tardy again." Nicole woke up with a jolt and jumped off the bed.
"Miss, you only had about an hour of sleep last night. I couldn't bring myself to wake you up…" Mrs. Borah said as she prepared breakfast for the kids.
"You still have to wake me up nonetheless. I've got a job I need to be on time for."
Not wasting any more time, Carla quickly brushed her teeth, washed up, and then headed out to work.
"Mommy, your breakfast." Josh ran to her with a bun and a bottle of soy milk.
"Thank you, Josh." Carla grabbed her breakfast and darted towards the elevator. "Be a good boy, okay?" said Carla, without looking back.
"Affirmative!" Josh responded.
"Randy and Josh, do finish your breakfast before it gets cold. Later on, I'll be seeing both of you off when the school bus arrives. After that, I need to come back home immediately to look after Venus since she's still not fully recovered. You two behave in school, okay?"
"We will, Mrs. Borah…"
As Carla was dashing towards the subway station to catch her train, a blue Lamborghini came out of nowhere and stopped beside her.
Startled, she took a few steps back away from the Lamborghini. A handsome man with a charming smile got out of the car and stood before her. "Babe, apologies for being late. But I'm here now to escort you to work, shall we?" He said.
