Just then, Shawn arrived upon hearing the news, managing to restrain the distraught Holden.
Mitchel remained silent, changing his bloody gloves and continuing to attend to Ariana upon noticing blood on Holdenâs collar.
Amid the chaos, no one noticed the two children at the doorway.
Melon gazed at the harrowing scene in the ward, trembling as he listened to the monitorsâ beeping sound.
âMommyâ¦â Melon murmured, consumed by overwhelming fear.
Why was his mother bleeding so much?
Was he going to lose his mother?
At that moment, a pair of small hands covered Melonâs eyes.
Adele whispered in Melonâs ear, âMelon, donât be afraid.
Aria will be okay.
â
Devin approached, swiftly guiding the children to the lounge.
Melon refused to leave and cried out for his mother, and Devin eventually had to carry him away against his will.
âMommy!â Melonâs voice echoed in the corridor.

Meanwhile, Shawn pulled Holden to sit on the sofa and hesitantly handed him some documents.
The documents contained the results of the DNA test for Adele and Ariana, confirming them as mother and daughter.
âMr.
Fredrick, I consulted three separate authorities for the identification to ensure accuracy, and all three confirmed the same results,â Shawn said.
âAdele is Miss Edwardsâ daughter, and Melon and Adele are twins.
Adele is the child Miss Edwards lost in the hospital fire years ago.
â
Holden didnât read the documents or respond to Shawn.
His expression was dark.
Shawn sensed that Holdenâs sole concern was now Ariana, so he refrained from continuing.
He sighed, setting aside the documents and rising to peer anxiously through the wardâs glass, his worry mounting.
He feared if Ariana couldnât hold on much longer, Holden might not be able to hold on, either.
Previously, when Arianaâs whereabouts had been unknown, Holden had still harbored hope.
Now, if Holden watched Ariana die before him, he would definitely collapse.
Half an hour later.
When the ward door swung open, Mitchel removed his mask and stepped out.
Sweat dripped from his hair, a few drops stinging his eyes momentarily.
Shawn quickly spotted him.
Leaning down, Shawn told Holden, âMr.
Fredrick, Dr.
Chadwick is outside.
â
Hearing this, Holden rose from the corridor bench, eager to inquire Mitchel about Ariana.
âWeâve successfully rescued her,â Mitchel announced.
âIt was a rejection reaction to the medication.
We need close observation for the next seventy-two hours.
â
âSeventy-two hoursâ¦â Holden murmured, lifting his head anxiously.
âWill she be out of danger by then?â
