Special Chapter: Kayden's POV
I carefully laid Evelyn on the bed while the doctor soon arrived with her medical kit and quickly began to examine her. Elsie and Ana came into the room but only stood close to the door, not venturing to come nearer.
I know how hard it must be for them, but it's also difficult for me to see the one that I love in such a terrible state.
The doctor turned to us with a sad look on her face before dropping the bombshell.
"I'm sorry, but I doubt I'll be able to save her and her child. Her condition is critical. The poison is spreading very quickly. I need to administer an antidote as soon as possible before it spreads any further and kills her," the doctor revealed. But I didn't let the news dishearten me. Instead, it made me know that there was at least still some hope, and no matter how little the chances are, I'll take it.
"What antidote? What do you need? We have to save her at all costs," I told the doctor.
"I have the antidote here with me. It's simply activated charcoal. The activated charcoal used to treat poisoning is a powder that is mixed with a liquid. Once mixed, it can be given as a drink or through a tube that is placed through the mouth and into the stomach. Due to her current state, it seems I'll have to go with the latter. She apparently isn't in a condition to drink anything, so enteral feeding will be best. Have someone bring some lukewarm water quickly, as soon as possible. This antidote will help to neutralize the poison and stop its reactions, but it can only work if administered quickly.
We can't take any more risks, especially as she's pregnant and seems to be in a state of stupor," the doctor said, and Elsie called one of the maids into the room, instructing her to quickly get some water just as the doctor had requested.
