Whose Child Was That?

The once warm temperature in the room suddenly turned several degrees cold and Kathleen felt a piercing gaze at the back of her neck.

Her fingers moved swiftly as she hurriedly turned off the speaker and continued with the call.

"Listen to me sweetheart, I'm sorry for staying this long, I just finished my work and will soon be on my way."

"Mm-hmm. I will. OK honey, I'll hang up now. Love you too. Mwah!"

As soon as she ended the call she was

confronted by two pairs of cold questioning eyes. She looked away from them and continued with what she was about to say before she took the call.

"The treatment I just gave her should stabilize her until the test results are out." She prescribe some medication and explained the mode of administration for Old Mrs Hudson.

"I will be back by Monday to get her ready for the tests. Once we get the exact diagnosis, we will commence the appropriate treatment."
