Chapter 408 Calm Her Down
Fanny rushed to the doctor’s office nearest to Scarlet’s ward. After explaining the situation hurriedly, the doctor quickly grabbed the necessary medication and called for assistance.
Upon reaching the ward, they found Scarlet still in a state of frenzy. The doctor promptly directed the nurses and Christopher to restrain her so that they could administer a sedative. Despite their efforts to hold her down on the bed, Scarlet continued to struggle with a twisted expression.
“Her movements are too agitated. We’ve got to settle her down fast!” the doctor exclaimed urgently.
“Mom, please try to stay still,” Fanny pleaded, her voice trembling as she gently tried to soothe Scarlet from the side.
However, Scarlet was completely fixated on the people restraining her, so she was oblivious to Fanny’s soft voice. Even if she had heard, she would not have reacted well to the fact that Fanny was attempting to persuade
her.
Upon receiving no response from Scarlet, Fanny called out again, this time a little louder. “Mom?”
This time, Scarlet heard her voice, but her efforts to turn her head were in vain as if she were trying to shake off a daze.
“Fanny?” Scarlet strained to catch a glimpse, but her vision remained clouded.
Fanny promptly moved into her line of sight and said, “Mom, it’s me, Fanny. Just try to loosen up a bit and let go of Chris, alright?”
As she spoke, her hand reached out to pull Christopher away.

However, Scarlet suddenly erupted angrily and roared at Fanny.
“Christopher, don’t you dare lay a finger on my son!” she declared as she continued to hold him tightly while glaring at him.
Fanny froze in fright at the fury in Scarlet’s eyes that she became too afraid to lay another finger on Christopher.
“Mom? Chris didn’t…” Fanny began to explain, but Scarlet cut her off with an enraged roar. Her grip on Christopher did not loosen, and she seemed prepared to attack him as well.
Although she was not in her right mind, Scarlet exhibited unexpected strength, which led the doctor to summon two more people to help restrain her urgently.
Meanwhile, a petrified Fanny stood frozen in place, her face pale, as she witnessed the scene unfold before her.
As Christopher restrained Scarlet, he took a brief pause to calmly offer her a suggestion, “Fanny, perhaps it would be best for you to step back or wait for us outside?”
Even so, Fanny did not leave but simply moved to a corner.
Eventually, the sedative was successfully administered, but Scarlet’s muscles didn’t immediately ease up. Thus, those who were restraining her were hesitant to let go.
“Just a few more minutes, and she’ll be fine,” the doctor remarked, wiping sweat from his brow.
Hence, Christopher was forced to remain frozen in place, trying his best to wait patiently for the medication to take effect.
Scarlet’s rage slowly dissipated as the minutes ticked by and was replaced

by weariness before everything eventually faded altogether. Upon seeing that she was on the verge of falling asleep, Fanny finally summoned the courage to step closer to her.
“Mom? Are you hurt?” a concerned Fanny asked.
However, Scarlet remained unresponsive. Although her eyelids were heavy with fatigue, her resentment toward Christopher was still evident. She attempted to glare at him but was unable to do so.
Scarlet’s blatant disregard left Fanny feeling awkward.
“Fanny, don’t worry.” Christopher finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Scarlet had slumped over weakly. “Madam Square is fine.”
“Got it.” Fanny nodded in compliance and proceeded to stand close by as she waited. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
After a brief span of time, the medication began to fully take effect, causing Scarlet to slip into a deep state of slumber gradually.
The doctor instructed them to release Scarlet. “It’s all right now.”
“Finally…” Christopher loosened his hold on Scarlet and removed his arm, which was held tightly by her hand.
Perspiring profusely, he stumbled back weakly to lean against the wall.
“Do you require any attention?” The doctor inquired upon noticing his condition.
Christopher shook his head slowly and refused politely, “Not right now. I’ll take care of it later.”
Even if he wanted to tend to his wounds, he wouldn’t do it in Scarlet’s ward as he couldn’t help but feel uneasy after her recent outburst.

However, Fanny was still present, so he had to make an effort to conceal
his unease.
At his words, the doctor departed with his team while Fanny and Christopher remained in the room. Once Fanny ensured that Scarlet was sleeping soundly and unharmed, she made her way over to him.
Scarlet had left him with scratches all over and had even bit him here and there. Thus leaving him looking somewhat messy.
“Chris, let me come with you to treat your wounds,” Fanny offered softly.
Christopher glanced at his injuries. “Thank you, Fanny.”
She was as kind as ever, and Christopher breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he didn’t have to worry about her ignoring his explanation.
Fanny shook her head as she helped him in getting up. The two then proceeded to find the doctor to address his injuries. While the doctor treated him, she quietly remained nearby.
At the same time, Christopher contemplated how to explain things to her after dealing with the wound. After all, even though Scarlet was highly agitated, he worried that Fanny would misunderstand him after what Scarlet had yelled at him.
Not long after the nurse who tended to Christopher’s wound had left, Fanny spoke in a subdued and concerned voice, “Chris, what made my mom behave like that out of the blue?”
She had hesitated to ask this question for a very long time and finally found the courage to do so.
At this point, Christopher also thought about how to respond. “Fanny, the thing is, I let Madam Square know about Zac’s desire to be a donor for you, and that’s why she reacted like that…”

Upon hearing his words, Fanny’s eyes widened immediately. “Be a donor?”
She looked dumbfounded as if she could not comprehend what he had just said.
Hence, Christopher had no choice but to explain it again. Deep down, he believed that Fanny truly possessed a kind heart. Despite her illness, she never once entertained the idea of seeking out a donor.
“Zac wants to donate a kidney to you, so he has already completed the matching, and the results will be out by tomorrow at the latest.” With that said, he kept a close eye on her response because he was after she might be distressed by the revelation.
Fanny immediately frowned while feeling internally conflicted. “But Zac’s health…”
Not wanting her to feel more distressed, Christopher murmured
soothingly, “Forget about that for the moment. Our priority should be to let Madam Square calm down first.”
When Scarlet awakened, she would surely cause chaos again, so it was extremely necessary for him to come up with a plan first.
“Chris, what do we do now?” Fanny sat beside him and asked anxiously. As she inquired, she buried her concerns about Zacharias‘ health in her heart.
Christopher was at a loss and couldn’t come up with a plan.
Just then, Joseph appeared in Fanny’s mind. “Should I ask Joseph to come back? He must have a solution. Besides, Mom will listen to him too.”
At the mention of this, Christopher thought Joseph might offer some sensible counsel, so he nodded.
Upon seeing his agreement, Fanny quickly sought out Joseph to fill him in

on the Scarlet situation, but she purposefully avoided mentioning Christopher’s name. This was due to her recollection of Joseph’s previous disinterest in Christopher at the hospital, so she deemed it inappropriate to bring him up now.
“I’ve reached out to Joseph and he’s on his way back. What should we say when he arrives?” she asked as she helped Christopher back to Scarlet’s ward.
Christopher reassured her, “Don’t worry. If Joseph asks, just tell him you don’t know anything. I’ll take care of explaining everything.”
He had no intention of letting Joseph interrogate Fanny and had already devised a plan to steer her away from any potential questioning.
“Fanny, why don’t you head back home for now? I’ll take care of things here.”
Fanny seemed confused, and Christopher didn’t push her to choose either way. Just as she was on the verge of agreeing, she was startled by someone’s voice.
