Lahat ng Kabanata ng Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Kabanata 1661 - Kabanata 1670

After a while, she stood and looked toward Dr. Blanc. “I’d like to have a word with you.”“How’s the kid?” Dr. Blanc questioned, furrowing his brow."She should be stable for now," she said euphemistically, bending down to pinch Debbie's cheeks with one hand and stuffing something into her mouth with the other.She did it so swiftly that others could not do anything but shout, “What did you feed her?!”“Dr. Blanc, let’s talk alone,” Lily said indifferently while turning to face him.Before Dr. Blanc could reply, Dashiell chuckled coldly. "What can't you say here that you must speak with Dr. Blanc alone? We’re all colleagues, and as Dr. Blanc said, we’re all on the battlefront together. How are there secrets we are not privy to?"Dr. Blanc, you said you wouldn't let her off the hook easily, and I believe there’s no secrets between the two of you. So, I’m wondering, Dr. Russell, what is it that you could only tell Dr. Blanc and not us?” Dashiell looked around, and someone piped u

“Go and prepare since you might have to stay here overnight. It could be exhausting with only the two of you taking shifts," Dr. Blanc said to the two nurses who remained behind, "Do come back when you're ready. I still have to examine the patient.”“Okay, Doctor.” The nurses replied and left.Dr. Blanc took the stethoscope and checked Debbie’s heartbeat, then gave her a rough examination. When he withdrew his hand, he thought about something and gave Lily a look. He took the child's wrist and turned it over, checking her palm.The palm was soft, but he could see something abnormally yellow in the middle. If one were not careful, they might mistake it for a callous caused by labor.However, she was still a child and had not done such work before, let alone over a long period of time. Not only that, she had been in the ward recently.Stroking his finger over it, Dr. Blanc realized it was not a callous but a darker yellow that had shown through the skin. It was something unnatural a

Austin groggily opened his eyes, but his eyelids felt so heavy that he gradually closed them again.He did not know how much time had passed, and it felt like a year later when he reopened his eyes. He saw a wooden roof instead of the unnerving white ceiling. He then looked around him and saw a closet, desk, chair, the bed he was lying on, and the blanket…Everything was not the cold and hard stuff he had before. Almost subconsciously, he lifted his hand and slapped himself.‘Ouch, that hurts!’ However, he was glad he felt pain. ‘This isn’t a dream!’In other words, he finally escaped and no longer needed to suffer in that hellhole. He eagerly tried to get off the bed, but the moment he removed the blanket and his feet touched the floor, he went limp and almost dropped to his knees if he had not propped himself up.“What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?” The voice was familiar and yet so strange. Austin had not heard it for a long time, and hearing it again felt lik

“Take off your shirt!” Dominic said.Austin did so without asking why. Dominic examined him from top to bottom, then took two steps back to size him up. “Take off your pants, too!”Austin was stunned. “Uncle Dom?”“Stop dawdling! You want me to do it for you?” Dominic said it threateningly.Austin was resigned, could only do as he was told. Although he still wore his underwear, wearing so little in front of the old man was embarrassing.Crouching down, Dominic looked at his calves, then flicked his finger at the back of his knee. He slowly got up, stepped back, and rubbed his beard as he narrowed his eyes. He seemed to be either looking at Austin or thinking about something.“Grandpa…” A voice sounded.Austin knew his granduncle was trying to figure out what was wrong with him, but standing there without a shirt or pants was embarrassing.‘I wonder if he’s done. He should at least let me put on my clothes, right?’“Grandpa…” The soft voice sounded again. Since it was soft and

Letting go of Debbie’s wrist, Lily sighed in relief.She quietly left the room and went next door. Still awake, Alexander could now move around in the ward and looked no different from a healthy person.“Dr. Russell. Doing your rounds, huh?” He said it half-jokingly but cooperatively offered his hand.Lily gave him a sidelong glance. “You look well. You should be able to leave tomorrow.”“I do? But I feel I can’t.” Alexander raised his brow as she took his wrist pulse. No matter how often she did it, she was always serious.Her fingers lingered a bit longer on purpose. She let go, and her tense look visibly relaxed while her eyes sparkled with relief. “You’ve fully recovered, and your wrist pulse is steady. Since everything is normal, you should leave tomorrow, okay?”Alexander stepped forward, held her around her waist, and gently pulled her close.Lily hastily held him back by pushing his chest with one hand. “Don’t…”“But I can’t bear to leave you. What should I do?” He look
