However, the deeper his affection for the child, the more I felt the urge to cry. I regretted letting my daughter stay outside too long.
Abby was still so young, needing her fathers and familys protection.
Suddenly, the emergency room door swung open after what seemed an eternity.
I froze for a moment before standing abruptly and approaching the doctor. How is she? Is Abby okay?
But the doctor looked grave and said, This isnt a simple fever. Shes been poisoned, and its a strong one.
When I heard the news, my legs became so weak that I nearly collapsed. Tears streamed down my face instantly. Turning to Caleb, I murmured, Poisoned Abby is poisoned
Caleb quickly supported me, his expression hardening in an instant.
How is the baby? What kind of poison?
The doctor responded, The situation is quite serious, but its not life-threatening. Were currently detoxifying her. Please, try not to worry.

Relieved by these words, Caleb and I both let out a sigh of relief.
The doctor then added, This poison is unusual. Its primary effect is to induce fever. Without timely detoxification, the victim dies within three days. Luckily, one of our specialists has extensive experience with this toxin. Hes managed to save several people exposed to it, which helped us quickly determine your child was poisoned.
Upon hearing this, I was overwhelmed by sadness and anger. My child had been kidnapped and poisoned. It seemed that my previous tolerance and inaction had encouraged these culprits to harm my child so boldly.
Seeing my distress, Caleb squeezed my hand and asked the doctor, How is this poison typically administered? Can you determine when the child was poisoned?

.
Calebs voice was calm yet tinged with barely concealed rage. I was aware of his fierce and decisive nature when confronting enemies.
This time around, I was resolutely by his side. I refused to see him as heartless. Instead, I felt a reassuring safety knowing that Caleb was there to protect the child and me. He provided us with a feeling of security.
The doctor paused briefly, glanced at Caleb, and said, This poison originates from the witch clan. Its usually administered by ingestion or injection. However, we found no needle marks on the childs body, suggesting the poison was likely ingested. We need to conduct more tests. Could you both please wait a little longer?
Well wait as long as it takes. Just make sure shes safe, Caleb responded, clenching his teeth.
The doctor nodded seriously and then returned to the emergency room.
I looked at Caleb with unease and asked, Who do you think is trying to harm Abby and me? Could it be Veronica and Shirley?
Before Caleb could reply, I heard fast-paced footsteps from the other end of the hallway.
I turned to see Andrew, Shirley, and Addy hurrying towards us.
Seeing them only brought a wave of disgust. I no longer talked to Andrew with any warmth, Instead, I asked him sharply, What are you doing here?
Andrew replied with concern, I came to check on Abby.
I replied with a sneer, The doctor has assessed Abbys condition and is treating her accordingly. Caleb and I will be staying here. Theres nothing for you to do.
