Chapter 1900 Can Dustin Help

“Mom, Grandma,” called out Lucius as he slowly opened his eyes.

“Lucius!”

Joan and Delilah yelped in surprise at the same time.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry. After all, I’m a boy,” Lucius comforted them while forcing out a smile.

Hearing that, Joan couldn’t hold it in anymore. She buried her head in the bed and sobbed.

“Don’t cry, Mom. See? I’m fine,” said Lucius. He reached out to stroke Joan’s hair gently.

Joan quickly wiped her tears away and forced out a smile before she turned to the kid on the bed.

“You must be famished, Lucius. What would you like to have? I’ll cook for you,” Joan said softly.

“I want the meatloaf you and Grandma make,” replied Lucius weakly.

“Okay, no problem.” Joan quickly nodded.

When Larry arrived at the hospital, he had the doctor reassign Lucius to the VIP room.

That room had amazing facilities, and one could cook and do laundry in there. In fact, it was not that much different from a house.

Lucius rested on the bed as he watched Joan and Delilah busying away. A faint grin popped up on his lips.

“Where’s Dad?” asked Lucius all of a sudden.

“I’m here, Lucius. How are you feeling?” asked Larry, who suddenly entered the room.

“I’m fine, Dad,” replied Lucius with a smile.

Tears welled up in Joan’s eyes once more when she saw that there were still traces of blood at the corner of the child’s lips.

Lucius has always been so stubborn. He refuses to admit it even when he is in pain. That was why Joan had always treasured him.

Larry sat beside the bed and chatted with the kid while Joan and Delilah prepared the meatloaf at the side.

Dustin learned all about Joan’s life in the village from Nancy, so he knew just how important Lucius was to Joan.

“How about this? I’ll go examine him now, and if things really are out of hand, we’ll take him overseas to receive treatment,” suggested Dustin determinedly.

Joan instantly sighed a breath of relief upon seeing Dustin’s serious and worried expression.

As a doctor himself, he definitely knows a lot of good local doctors as well as international ones. So he should be able to help, right? Clenching her fists, Joan’s eyes shone with anticipation when she looked at Dustin.

The two of them arrived at the hospital soon after.

Dustin went to talk to Lucius’ doctor right away to better understand the boy’s condition. As expected, the local medical equipment and resources were limited, so they had difficulty treating Lucius. Dustin fished his phone out of his pocket right away and made a call.

Half an hour later, when he went to the boy’s room, a hint of sadness crept up on his face upon seeing the tiny figure on the bed.

“Ms. Young,” greeted Dustin.

Previously, Dustin met Delilah when Larry was injured and hospitalized, so they were familiar to each other.

“Dustin, you’re here,” said Delilah in a frail voice.
