Chapter 482: It May Not Be Curable
Nora nodded, her eyes full of pain and guilt, "He wasn't like this before."
"Mortimer used to raise him to be so lively, cheerful, and well-behaved. But ever since he started living with me, he's developed such severe psychological issues. Maybe I really just can't handle being a mother."
Isaac rubbed the top of her head and said softly, "Don't overthink it, it's not your fault."
If anyone was to blame, it would be him.
He didn't know Magnus and Soren were his children at first. When he mistakenly thought they were Mortimer's children, he even tried to distance himself from them.
It might have been from that time that Magnus's heart was scarred.
"Stop overthinking, you've done very well. Look at Soren, isn't she doing great? If you really had a problem, how could Soren still be so innocent and pure?"
Nora wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Go ahead, come back and tell me what Rhys said."
Isaac's eyes flashed with surprise.
Nora had also noticed that Rhys had something left unsaid and guessed that he was going out to find Rhys.
Isaac came back to his senses and nodded lightly, "Okay, be careful at home, don't think too much. Rhys is the best doctor in the world, he will definitely cure Magnus."
Nora smiled and nodded.
Isaac said no more and finally turned to leave.
The moment the door closed, the smile on Nora's face disappeared instantly, and the worry in her eyes deepened.
If the problem wasn't serious, Rhys wouldn't deliberately avoid the patient.
Rhys not finishing his words in person meant that, for Rhys, Magnus's condition was quite complicated.
Even though Rhys was the best doctor in the world, he was just a human, not a god. There were many things he couldn't do, many diseases he couldn't cure.
For example, the poison in Isaac's body, Rhys couldn't even detect it.
Thinking of the poison in Isaac's body, Nora became even more agitated.
She didn't know if Daxton would come to harm Isaac again in the future.
No, she couldn't sit and wait for death.
Even if Daxton didn't come to cause trouble, the poison in Isaac's body had to be resolved to give her complete peace of mind.
After Magnus's illness was cured, she would investigate what kind of poison was in Isaac's body and how to cure it.
Isaac soon arrived at the hospital.
Rhys had been waiting in the office for a long time.
Isaac closed the office door, sat opposite Rhys, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's Magnus's specific condition?"
Rhys replied, "The situation is a bit serious. His blood clotting function isn't working well now. When I drew his blood just now, it took nearly half an hour for even a tiny spot to stop bleeding."
"Have you asked the kindergarten? Is his nosebleed duration getting longer day by day?"
Isaac nodded, "The school cut the surveillance footage. Indeed, the bleeding is getting worse, and the time to stop bleeding is getting longer day by day."
Rhys said, "Send me the surveillance footage."
Isaac took out his phone, found the video, and handed it to him.
Rhys watched the video and sighed, "From the video, his condition seems to be worsening pretty quickly. Besides what the surveillance captured, there should be more that wasn't captured. He is now quite anemic."
Magnus's nosebleeds alone had made him anemic, which was enough to show the severity of the situation.
Isaac asked with a serious expression, "Can it be cured?"
Rhys told the truth, "I'm not sure."
Isaac's aura instantly darkened, and his face became very gloomy.
Rhys was already used to his demeanor and wasn't afraid at all.
During the time the two Magnus was injured, Isaac had a gloomy face every day, and Rhys had become used to it.
After a pause, Rhys continued, "His illness is a bit different from regular hematopoietic dysfunction. I can't be sure if conventional treatments will work for him. I need to take his blood back to the lab for experiments."
Isaac impatiently said, "Then why aren't you going back to the lab? Don't waste time here!"
Rhys said resentfully, "I was waiting for you to explain everything clearly."
Isaac stood up and said irritably, "Focus on researching Magnus's condition. Don't worry about anything else. Ignore anyone who contacts you except me."
Rhys replied, "I understand. I'll go to the lab now. I won't take my phone during the experiments. If you can't reach me, you can come directly to the lab."
The lab was built with Isaac's help, with very comprehensive security measures. Ordinary people couldn't break in.
But the system there had Isaac's fingerprints and iris recorded, so he could come and go freely.
Isaac left the hospital.
He bought a pack of cigarettes and sat on a bench by the roadside, smoking half a pack in one go.
Since being with Nora, he had almost stopped smoking.
But now he was very agitated and needed something to vent his inner frustration.
After smoking half a pack, he looked at the time, composed himself, and drove to the kindergarten to pick up Soren.
Soren didn't know that Nora and Isaac had returned from their trip.
Seeing Isaac, whom she hadn't seen for days, she immediately ran into his arms with excitement.
"Daddy!"
Isaac squatted down and hugged Soren.
Soren's cute and innocent voice made him feel much better.
"Daddy, when did you come back? Where's Mommy? Didn't Mommy come back with you? Oh, at noon, my teacher said Magnus went home early. Did you take Magnus away? Why did you only take Magnus and not me?"
Soren asked questions non-stop.
By the end, she was full of displeasure.
"Daddy, where did you take Magnus? Did you secretly take him to eat something delicious? Or did you take him to play? Daddy, you're a bad guy for not taking me!"
Soren pouted, both angry and sad.
Isaac chuckled, "Magnus wasn't feeling well, so I took him home to rest early. I didn't take him to play or eat anything delicious. You are both my little darlings. I wouldn't secretly take one of you to eat something delicious."
"Your mommy is at home with Magnus. I'll take you back now, and you can see them."
Soren's little nose suddenly twitched, and then she pinched her nose with a look of disgust, "Daddy, you smell bad. I don't like this smell. Let go of me, I'm going to throw up!"
Isaac's face stiffened.
He was actually disliked by his own daughter.
Soren gagged uncomfortably.
