Miracle Cutie

Chapter 451 The Sweet Treat Did Its Job

Nina’s sobs came and went.

Finally, exhausted, she slumped against the storage room door. Her little head tilted to the side, and she fell asleep.

Amelia watched her sleeping face through the phone, her heart aching.

Time passed slowly. In the dark, chilly storage room, Nina developed a fever again.

She was so little, already frightened, and had cried herself to sleep. She lay there without even a blanket.

When the adults found her, her cheeks were flushed a worrisome shade of red. Her fever was much worse than it had been the day before.

Benjamin picked her up. She was like a little furnace in his arms.

“Nina,” Amelia called to her, but Nina didn’t open her eyes. She only let out a few soft, confused whimpers–too deeply asleep or too dizzy to wake.

Benjamin wasted no time. He rushed her straight to the hospital.

Lester was already at that same hospital, undergoing emergency surgery. His injuries were

severe.

Philip had died at the Powell Estate. For now, that news was contained.

Before being taken to the hospital, Lester had ordered his people to lock everything down.

Now, both Nina and Lester were there. Benjamin stayed by Nina’s side. He sent Daniel to check on Lester.

Daniel went, though reluctantly, dragging Erik along with him.

After surgery, Lester was moved to the ICU,

Daniel made a point of asking the doctor if Lester would pull through.

The doctor couldn’t give a definite answer, only saying they needed to observe and continue treatment.

Compared to Lester’s critical condition, Nina’s fever was more straightforward.

She was too out of it to take medicine, so they started an IV.

Amelia’s eyes stayed red–rimmed as she watched the IV line, her heart aching.

Benjamin stood beside her, his own mood heavy as he looked at Nina in the hospital bed.

By the time the second bag of IV fluids was running, Nina’s fever had broken. She was doing much better.

Her eyes fluttered open, dazed. She lifted a chubby hand to rub them, but Benjamin gently caught it.

The nurse had placed the IV in her forehead because the veins in her hands were too small.

Benjamin was worried she’d accidentally pull the needle out.

“Daddy?” Nina mumbled, staring sleepily at Benjamin now right in front of her.

After calling for her dad, she immediately looked for her mom.
