Chapter 606
606:
Linsey, taken aback by the apology, hadn’t expected Myla to bring up Carol at such a moment. Struggling for words, Linsey felt a pang of envy for Carol, blessed with such a compassionate mother.
Before meeting the Lawsons, Linsey had believed they were unpleasant people, which she thought might explain Carol’s difficult personality. However, after spending some time with them, Linsey’s view changed completely. And for a moment, she even wondered if Carol might not be their biological child. These thoughts were brief and definitely not something Linsey would ever say out loud.
They sat together on a bench outside the surgery room, quietly waiting for what felt like an eternity. Time seemed to stand still until the operating room doors swung open.
A doctor stepped out and looked around the room. “Is the patient’s family here?”
“Yes, right here!” Myla quickly stood up, with Linsey and Cruz by her side. “Doctor, what’s the status of my son?”
With a serious expression, the doctor shared his findings. “From our initial assessments, it appears your son has suffered internal organ damage. The injury to his lower back seems to have been caused by some external force.”
Myla, shocked, struggled to grasp the news. “Internal… organ damage?”
As soon as Myla finished speaking, her knees gave way.
“Myla!”
Together, Linsey and Cruz caught Myla, stopping her fall.
“How can this be?” Myla’s voice shook as she spoke. “He only bumped into a cabinet. How could his injuries be so severe?”
The doctor paused briefly before asking a question. “Is there any known history of blood disorders in your family?”
The question stunned both Myla and Cruz.

“What are you suggesting, doctor?” Panic tightened Myla’s voice. She fixed her gaze on the doctor, her eyes rapidly filling with tears. “Are you telling me my son could have this blood disorder you’re talking about?”
By the end of her question, Myla’s voice was breaking with emotion.
Cruz kept a serious expression, pausing for a moment before responding, “There’s no history of blood disorders in our family. His health has always been clear in his annual medical reports.”
Acknowledging their response, the doctor nodded. “I see. Please remain calm. We must run more tests to uncover the reasons behind the mild internal and unusual external bleeding.”
Myla managed a stiff nod. “Okay, thank you, doctor.”
Cruz also expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, doctor.”
