Observing Colbyâs ongoing discomfort, Kyson anxiously proposed, âIâll call the emergency services and get him to the hospital.
â
âOkay!â
âI donât agree.
â
Sonny and Colby spoke almost simultaneously.
Colby, wincing with pain, stammered, âRegular hospital doctors⦠They canât treat me, and it would be too much trouble.
Go find Eugene.
Heâs in office 304 in the next building.
â
âIâm on my way.
â
Kyson dashed off and returned within two minutes with the drowsy Eugene in tow.
Initially irritable, Eugeneâs demeanor changed when he saw Colbyâs discomfort; he instantly became alert and began to check Colbyâs heartbeat and condition attentively.
âHeâs always been frail, and his heart is so weak that any stress could overwhelm him.
What exactly did you say to upset him so much?â
Sonny and Kyson exchanged glances, and then hung their heads, offering no rebuttal.
Eugene rolled his eyes at them and silently went to prepare the medical equipment for an infusion.
Returning shortly with a medical tray, Eugene found Colby adamantly refusing the infusion, his gaze fixed stubbornly on Sonny.
âEither take me to see my father or mother, or Iâll refuse the drip, even if it means suffering through the night!â

Sonny paused, recalling Nathanâs words.
âItâs raining outside.
Your health isnât great.
What if you catch a cold? With Stastle in chaos, your father is up all night and worried he couldnât Look after you, so he left you in the safest place, the lab.
Can you try to understand?â
Colby shook his head firmly.
Sonny was at a loss for words.
âIf you donât take me to see my parents, I refuse the infusion.
â
Eugene clucked his tongue in sympathy.
âItâs no wonder the kids are restless, being left here by the adults.
How could they possibly sleep peacefully, not being taken home?â
Sonny and Kyson remained quiet.
Eugene added, âEven if his father is tied up with work, you two could still take the children there without interrupting him.
That way, they might feel a bit more secure.
What harm could it do?â
Colby, clenching his fists, still resisted the injection.
âAlright, alright.
Iâll do as you say.
Once youâre stable after the infusion, Iâll take you to see your parents,â Sonny conceded.
The two kids were happy and sat side by side on the bed quietly.
Destinee remained next to her brother in silence, and then Colby asked Eugene to adjust the infusion rate, making it quicker.
