Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 481 Administering an IV
Both of them looked over at him.
They saw Michael Cooper looking at him with a calm gaze.
"Prescribe the medications."
Having served as his family doctor for many years, the doctor wasn't overly intimate with Michael Cooper but certainly knew him well.
Hearing Michael Cooper's words, the doctor paused before speaking, "Mr. Cooper, I don't mean to overstep, but you heard what I said just now, right? She isn't physically ill; what kind of medication do you expect me to prescribe? Taking unnecessary medication can cause problems."
Michael Cooper looked at him coldly.
"Didn't you say she has psychosomatic disorders? Then prescribe medication for that."
"This... psychosomatic disorders aren't typically treated with medication, but with therapy."
Jane, standing by and watching the scene unfold, was also bewildered. She had thought Mr. Cooper cared greatly for Ms. Hansen, but despite the doctor saying her issue was psychological and could not be treated with medication, he insisted on a prescription. What did this mean?
"Mr. Cooper, the doctor already said that Ms. Hansen she..."
"Do you have a say in this?"
However, her words were cut off halfway through.
Michael Cooper's gaze was icy as he looked at her.
"You are no longer needed here, get out."
Jane, concerned about Eva, hadn't expected that speaking out would result in being sent away by Michael Cooper.
She pursed her lips, feeling somewhat unwilling to leave.
The doctor had clearly explained Ms. Hansen's condition, yet Mr. Cooper was acting this way. Did he intend to harm Ms. Hansen?
During this time, Ms. Hansen had been quite kind to Jane, and Jane subconsciously wanted to stand up for Eva, yet unexpectedly, the doctor chose this moment to say, "Fine, I'll prescribe the medication." "Doctor!" Jane exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock, "Didn't you just say...?"
"Didn't you hear what Mr. Cooper said? Prescribe it."
Jane: "..."
Previously, she had only suspected Mr. Cooper of madness, but now she doubted the sanity of the doctor as well. Mr. Cooper might not understand, but as a doctor, shouldn't he know better?
But she had no real say here, and could only watch helplessly as he wrote the prescription and then turned to tell her.
"Let her take a good rest, I'll explain to you outside how to administer this medication."
Jane was indignant inside, and even though the doctor called her, she didn't want to leave. Eventually, he had to pull her by the sleeve to take her out of the room.
Once outside, Jane shook off his hand.
"Doctor, I never expected you to be this kind of person!"
At her words, the doctor gave her a sidelong glance.
"What kind of person am I? You think you know me just like that?"
During their talk, the doctor handed her a bottle of medicine.
"Take this, give her one pill a day."
Jane stepped back.
"I don't want it! Doctor, that's too much. Didn't you say Ms. Hansen has a psychological issue? She isn't physically ill, she can't just take any medication. After what you said earlier, I thought you were kind-hearted and truly upheld medical ethics, but now I see you're not like what I imagined at all. You've disappointed me greatly."
Just after she finished speaking, Jane felt a heavy knock on her forehead.
Instinctively, she covered her forehead with her hand.
"Doctor!"
"Don't you even ask what kind of medication I'm giving you before accusing me of lacking medical ethics? Isn't that a bit irrational?"
The initially agitated Jane realized something when she heard this, "What medication?"
"Vitamins," the doctor said, shaking the bottle of pills in his hand at her. "Do you want them?"
Hearing that he had prescribed vitamins for Eva, Jane suddenly realized her misunderstanding and felt somewhat embarrassed, especially since she had just accused him of lacking medical ethics, which was certainly a grave insult to any doctor. "Doctor, I didn't... I didn't mean to."
"It's fine, I know you meant well; it's just that your anxiety got the better of you. Be more astute next time."
"But doctor, what should we do about Ms. Hansen?" She looked at the bottle of vitamins she received from the doctor with a troubled expression. "Hansen seems to have a psychological illness, so these vitamins won't really help, will they?" "That's correct." The doctor's expression became serious: "So this medication can only serve as a temporary measure, then you need to find a way to convince Michael Cooper to get her a psychologist, to address her underlying issues. However, my guess is that if the current situation isn't resolved, even a psychologist might not be able to help much. Her condition is more serious than I thought."
"Alright, I understand, doctor. I'll do my best."
The doctor patted her on the shoulder: "We need to go back in and give her an IV; she's very weak right now."
"Doctor, let me help you."
After that, the two went back in to administer the IV to Eva.
While searching for a vein, the doctor noticed that she had lost even more weight since their last encounter.
He frowned as he set up the IV for her.
After being busy for a while, the doctor said to Michael Cooper: "Let her rest. She'll wake up later, and there should be no serious problem."
Michael Cooper looked at him emotionlessly and said, "Thank you."
Seeing his expression, the doctor opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately he swallowed his words and said nothing. Eva woke up in the afternoon.
Perhaps it was the recuperation, or maybe it was the effects of the IV, but her complexion looked much better.
Upon awakening, Eva saw Michael Cooper sitting by the bed.
As soon as she opened her eyes, they met Michael Cooper's gaze.
After only a brief eye contact with him, Eva closed her eyes again.
Delighted that she had awakened and just about to greet her, Michael Cooper was left speechless: "..."
Her apparent aversion caused a lump in Michael Cooper's throat, as if something was stuck there. More agonizing than this was the sensation in his chest, as if he were being slowly tormented with a small knife. Unable to get a quick resolution, he felt like he was enduring slow torture.
Michael Cooper's throat bobbed as he finally spoke with a bitter tone, "You're awake? Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
The person with closed eyes did not move, as if the momentary opening of her eyes had been his illusion.
After his earlier uncontrolled behavior, Eva now really didn't want to deal with him at all.
Aside from bitterness, Michael Cooper felt helpless and could only sit beside her and wait.
Eva thought that by ignoring him, he might leave, but to her surprise, even though she kept her eyes closed and stayed still, he remained by her side, not moving.
Because of the IV, Eva now needed to address some physiological needs.
When she first awoke, she felt the need to go to the bathroom. After holding it for a while, she could no longer bear it and reopened her eyes, asking directly, "Where's Jane?"
Seeing that she was finally willing to speak to him, Michael Cooper's heart eased, and he immediately said, "She had to step out for a bit. Are you thirsty? Shall I get you some water?" "No, thanks."
"Then what do you want to do? Just tell me, I..."
"Could you please leave?"
Eva turned her head away, noticing his pained look.
She could only say expressionlessly, "Please leave, I need to use the bathroom."
