Chapter 21 Mommy Is in Danger!
Isabella was taken aback.
Frederick's expression darkened, and without a word, he dragged her into the adjacent room.
He pressed her against the door, his gaze intense.
Isabella felt a surge of confusion and apprehension. "What do you want?" she managed to ask.
In her mind, she wondered if he was finally angry or if he intended to demand repayment.
Frederick remained silent, his eyes filled with a mix of emotions.
He couldn't be certain if Isabella was truly Dennis's mother.
Uncertainty clouded his thoughts, leaving him at a loss for words.
Isabella, too, was perplexed. She had sensed Frederick's peculiar behavior in the car, and now his gaze seemed different.
Though his eyes appeared as cold as ever, there was a newfound tenderness in them.
Breaking the silence, Isabella coughed.
"Why did you seek me out? Aren't you afraid of Frederick's reprimand?"
Still, Frederick remained silent.
Isabella continued, "Are you here to ask for money? I don't have any. And it was you and your girlfriend that started the conflict with Paul."
Frederick offered no response.
Isabella's tone grew more agitated. "Although you didn't physically harm me, I haven't done anything wrong. I can't fully compensate you if you demand money. And I'm truly broke now. Even if you kill me, I have nothing to give. Give me some time to earn money."
Frederick's silence made Isabella nervous.
"You didn't come for money, did you? Are you seeking revenge for that old man, Glen? I've told you before. He was the one who tried to assault me. My self-defense was justified."
Frederick remained silent. Isabella's frustration grew.
"What do you want? Can't you speak?"
Frederick's lips moved, but no sound came out.
Isabella was about to speak, but Frederick suddenly raised his hand.
Thinking he was about to strike her, Isabella instinctively flinched, feeling a slight pain on her head.
"What are you doing?" she exclaimed, protecting her head with her hands.
Frederick glanced at her, his expression complex, and then turned and left.
Isabella was left in a state of confusion.
Frederick walked to the door and instructed Elliot, "Take care of her. Don't let her escape or be mistreated."
...
Frederick personally handed Elijah the samples of Isabella and Dennis's hair. "Run the tests. Give me the results as soon as possible."
Elijah, unsure whose samples they were, hesitated and said, "I can only provide the results tomorrow."
"Fine. You do the tests yourself."
"No problem."
Just as Elijah entered the lab with the samples, something happened to Dennis.
When he woke up, Dennis saw a female nurse by his bedside and suddenly became frantic.
He pulled out the IV from his hand and smashed the equipment on the bedside table. He even used a needle to scratch his face and arms.
Elijah and Frederick arrived to find the room in chaos.
Dennis was smashing everything in a frenzy. The nurse trembled in fear and cowered in a corner, crying.
Seeing the blood on Dennis, Frederick grew anxious.
"Dennis!"
"Don't come any closer!"
Frederick froze.
"If you come any closer, I'll jump!"
Standing by the window, Dennis frowned and glared at Frederick. He clenched his fists and panted heavily.
Frederick didn't know where Dennis was injured because his face and hands were covered in blood.
Dennis's eyes were as red as blood.
Frederick was nervous. He stood still, not daring to move.
"Dennis, calm down. Please, calm down!"
Dennis remained silent, standing by the window, staring at him.
Pediatric experts from the hospital rushed over, crowding at the door, hesitant to approach.
Elijah asked the young nurse in a low voice, "What's going on?"
The nurse cried and said, "I don't know either. I've been by his bedside all along. When he woke up, I immediately asked if he was thirsty. He didn't say anything. After staring at me for a while, he suddenly became agitated."
Dennis said coldly, "I said I only want my Mommy."
"Dennis, listen to me. She's just a nurse that Uncle Elijah and I found for you."
"I said I only want my Mommy! I don't need other women to be with me! I want my Mommy! I want my Mommy!"
Like a wild, frantic animal Dennis cried and screamed.
He was about to jump out of the window.
Frederick suddenly rushed over and held Dennis tightly!
Elijah and the other doctors and nurses immediately rushed forward to sedate Dennis.
Half a minute later, Dennis finally calmed down.
The pediatric experts bandaged Dennis's wounds.
Elijah stood aside and said to Frederick, "Dennis's condition is getting worse. Frederick, call Ms. Beniere to treat Dennis. You know that Albert and Dennis have similar conditions."
Frederick was panting from being startled by Dennis's actions just now.
After swallowing hard a few times, he finally calmed down.
He glanced at Dennis and took out his phone to make a call.
"Bring Isabella to Dennis's ward."
Isabella was confused and anxious because Frederick had suddenly locked her up again.
The door suddenly opened.
Elliot hurriedly said to take Isabella to treat Dennis. Isabella asked, "Who is Dennis?"
"My boss's son. He also has bipolar disorder like Albert."
Isabella frowned and thought, 'His child?'
"Hurry up. Dennis almost jumped off the building today."
Isabella's heart raced. She immediately followed Elliot to see Dennis.
Frederick was still by Dennis's bedside. Isabella glanced at Frederick and then turned her gaze to Dennis.
However, when she saw Dennis, her heart suddenly raced.
Dennis was covered in bandages, his eyes closed. Although Isabella couldn't see his face clearly, she felt Dennis was very familiar.
Seeing the many injuries on his body, Isabella felt a pang of pain.
She walked to the bedside and examined Dennis's body. But when her hand touched Dennis's small hand, sadness suddenly engulfed Isabella!
Isabella suddenly burst into tears.
She raised her hand, touched her eyes, and was surprised.
Isabella didn't know why she was crying. She felt strange, but she couldn't explain the reason.
When treating Albert, Isabella didn't have such strong feelings.
The monitor suddenly sounded an alarm. Now, Dennis's heart rate is accelerating like crazy.
Isabella's heart was also beating faster. Isabella immediately wiped away her tears and tried to control her emotions.
She began to calmly examine Dennis's body.
After a long time, Isabella said, "His condition is very bad. He has entered a state of sleep, but his heart rate is still so fast. It's like he's not deeply asleep. He's struggling to wake up."
Elijah said, "The situation just now was too urgent, so I just gave him a sedative. I estimate that the medicine hasn't fully taken effect."
Isabella frowned and took out some silver needles to treat Dennis.
Frederick immediately grabbed her wrist and asked alertly, "What are you trying to do?"
