The mother of the sick child suppressed her sobs, trying to control her emotions and speak in an orderly manner, "My child has bronchial pneumonia and is hospitalized. The doctors have tried all kinds of antibiotics on him, but none worked, which led to a disruption in his internal bacteria balance. For six consecutive days, he's had green watery stools and vomits whenever he drinks breast milk. Last night, his fever reached thirty-nine degrees, and now the hospital has issued a critical condition notice, saying my child can't be saved."
Claire Prescott frowned while looking at the baby in her arms, placing her hand gently on the infant's tiny forehead to test his temperature.
She carefully lifted his clothes and could feel that his abdomen was severely swollen. After unfastening his diaper for a quick look, the little guy was still passing watery green stools.
She fastened the baby's diaper back on and asked gently, "How old is he now?"
"Not yet six months."
