She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 380

"Foot?"Lucia looked suspiciously at Theodore's foot, then carefully rolled up his trouser leg, and the next scene made both Lucia's and Arthur's faces pale.

On Theodore's emaciated calf, a large piece of black green appeared, and the middle part was already eroded, and a little pus was oozing out.

Lucia's face was pale. She had learned about the pathological manifestations of lymphoma cells in detail before. In severe cases, some parts of the body would fester. Could it be that Teddy's condition suddenly deteriorated?!

"Arthur, take care of Teddy. I'll call the doctor!" Lucia ran out after speaking to Arthur who took Theodore into his arms and looked at the festering wound on his foot. His heart was clenched to death.

Patting his son on the back, Arthur murmured a few words of comfort, but seeing his tears and his little face wrinkled with pain, his eyes couldn't help but turn red. If he could, he really hoped to suffer from the pain for his son. He didn't want to see his son suffer any more.

Soon the doctor followed Lucia in the ward and there were several nurses. The doctor immediately examined the ulceration for Theodore. After ten minutes, he said to Lucia and Arthur,

"I'm sorry. It seems that the child's condition has indeed worsened, but this requires further tests. If it is found to be cancerous, we will immediately give him chemotherapy."

Chemotherapy was the most painful torture for any patient. This torture was not only physical, but also mental.

Lucia almost collapsed when she heard this, but Arthur put his arms around her waist, kept his composure and said to the doctor, "Please check my son as soon as possible. We need a definitive answer."

The doctor nodded immediately, turned around and began to tell the nurses to arrange for Theodore to be examined.

"Doctor, please give Teddy some pain reliever. The child is in too much pain." What did the ulceration on the foot feel like? Lucia couldn't understand it, but her heart ached along with it, and she pleaded aloud when the doctor was about to leave.

"Okay, I'll ask the nurse to bring the medicine right away, but you have to be prepared. The child will need to endure great pain in the future. You have to do a good job of comforting him."

"Thank you, doctor." Tears were already streaming down from Lucia's eyes as she spoke.

Not long after the doctor left, three nurses came back to take Theodore for an examination. Lucia and Arthur naturally stayed with him together. After the group didn't leave for a long time, Sophie and Otis came to the ward with breakfast and did not see Theodore. Sophie's eyes were flushed with anxiety. Fortunately, Otis responded quickly and went to the nurse's station to ask about the situation. Sophie put down the breakfast and asked his son to accompany her to find her grandson.

Otis accompanied his mother to inquire about the first item Theodore needed to check and the location. The two were about to enter the elevator when the elevator door opened and they met Helena, who had also prepared breakfast.

"Helena, Teddy's condition has deteriorated. He is now undergoing a checkup. Let's go together." Otis was in a hurry. He saw Helena, grabbed her wrist and said so.

"Okay, wait a minute. I'll be right back." Helena didn't care that the hospital needed to be quiet, and ran to the ward. She was going to put down the breakfast.

Sophie saw the intimacy between Otis and Helena at a glance. She hesitated and asked Otis, "Otis, are you familiar with Helena?"

Otis didn't expect that his mother would suddenly ask this. He was always introverted and deep, but he was speechless at times.

At this time, Helena ran back, and without thinking, she held Otis with one hand and held Sophie with the other as she walked towards the elevator, and said anxiously,

"Come on, let's go find Teddy."

Otis didn't know for a moment whether he needed to let go of Helena's hand.

In the elevator, Helena asked Otis about the situation. As soon as the elevator door opened, the three people rushed to the laboratory, where they met Lucia. Arthur was accompanying Theodore in the department to draw blood for examination. Lucia couldn't control her emotions, so she stayed outside for now.

"Lucia, how's the situation?" Sophie asked anxiously when she saw Lucia.

Lucia seemed to be in a trance just now, and was startled when she heard Sophie's voice. When she turned her head, everyone else saw the fragility in her eyes.

Teddy's leg had an ulcer this morning... The doctor said that it may be cancerous lymphoma, "Teddy has an ulcer on his foot this morning..." Lucia said so, covering her mouth in discomfort.

Sophie immediately leaned back when she heard this. Fortunately, Helena supported her in time and patiently waited for her to calm down.

"Sophie, don't worry," Lucia was already heartbroken, but she still gave priority to comforting Sophie, "We'll discuss it when the test results come out."

Sophie breathed a sigh of relief, with a heart-wrenching sigh, "Why is my Teddy so pitiful... Why does God treat him like this..."

Seeing Sophie like this, Lucia lowered her eyes and stopped talking. She also wanted to ask this question!

Otis noticed Lucia's depression, and immediately leaned over to his mother's ear and said, "Mom, don't do this. You're already like this. What should Lucia do?"

Being reminded by Otis, Sophie fixed her eyes on Lucia, and saw that she was lowering her head and frowning. A pair of pupils were full of grief. When she took a closer look, she notice Lucia's lower lip had been bitten out deeply with teeth marks.

Being surprised that her actions would only deepen Lucia's negative emotions, Sophie forced her tears back, stepped forward, held Lucia's hand and said,

"Okay, there's no hurry. We'll listen to what the doctor has to say."

"Yeah." Lucia nodded lightly and looked dazed.

Not long after, Arthur came out of the lab with Theodore in his arms, followed by a nurse with a thick report.

Sophie was about to step up to ask how Teddy was when she saw his son make a silent gesture. It turned out that Theodore fell asleep again due to the effect of the tranquilizer. Arthur protected his small body and said softly,

"Mom, let Teddy sleep first."

When he woke up again, he had to face unbearable pain again.

Arthur didn't dare say that.

Lucia reached out and lightly held Theodore's little hand. She looked at the nurse anxiously, and asked them how he was doing with her eyes.

"The test results will not be available until tomorrow. Please wait patiently. During this period, the doctor will continue to give the child medication." The nurse said softly, and then led them back to the ward together.

Arthur hugged Theodore and walked forward steadily. Wrapping his little back, he wanted to give the child the most solid harbor.
