Camila took Joe in her arms and noticed the plaster around his tiny finger. "They took his blood?"

It looked like they had pricked his finger to get a sample.

Rowena nodded. "I went to the Pediatric Department first, but they couldn't figure out the cause for his seizure, so they advised us to run some blood tests."

Joe was obviously in discomfort. He kept flailing his arms, and would sometimes whimper. Camila expected him to cry, but he never did.

ALL in all, the baby was not feeling well.

Camila pressed a tender kiss on his cheek. "When did you first notice that he was ill?"

“Just before I called you.”

Camila nodded and told herself to calm down.

They couldn't do anything but wait for the test results.

Camila walked to a quiet corner down the hallway, hoping that the quiet could afford Joe some sense of comfort.

Instead of feeling better, however, the Little boy proceeded to wail. The tiny human couldn't speak yet, so he could only bawl to express his unease.

Camila was growing agitated, too.

She turned to her mother and said, "I should take him to see other specialists for a second opinion. Stay here and wait for the results.”

“ALL right, go ahead." Rowena nodded readily.

Camila held Joe tighter and headed to the Outpatient Department. Her mind was already racing with possibilities.

By the time she figured something out, the test results were also released. Rowena came over in a hurry and gave her the slip of paper.

Camila's eyes scoured the document frantically, her face darkening by the second.

“Here, let me have a look," the doctor said as he reached for the test report.

After reading it, he said after checking, "I found the reason. It turns out that he has (2S, 6R) in his body, which caused his physical discomfort and convulsion."

Camila already knew this, of course, and understood the implications. Hence, her glum reaction.

Rowena, on the other hand, needed some explanation.

“What does that mean, Doctor? What's wrong with my grandson?"

“The baby doesn't have a disease, rather, he has 2S and 6R in his system. These are substances that are commonly found in medicines, but

"What?" Rowena blurted out. "Joe hasn't taken any medicine. How could he have those chemicals in his body?" She was confused, and it only fed into her worry.

“That's not possible. There is no other way to ingest these substances. He must have taken some medicine without your knowledge."
