A three-year-old boy was rushed to hospital with a high fever exceeding 38 eight degrees. A woman followed from behind and looked scared and anxious and the woman was definitely Emma. Four years on, after being evicted by her grandfather, Emma lives in New York and works there.
Emma struggled alone without asking for help. She gave birth to her baby alone and on her own. Although he often contacted his grandfather to find out the state of his grandfather and although Emma always get rejection from his grandfather who was disappointed but he never gave up to find out the state of his grandfather.
Emma gave birth to a smart and cheerful boy. His son was Daniel, only Daniel did not use his last name because he did not want to give it even though he knew clearly who the father of his son was. Daniel's condition had deteriorated a few days back but he assumed that if Daniel was just a normal fever but this morning, his son's condition was getting worse.
Daniel was shivering violently and complaining of full-body pain. Daniel's face was pale and small bruises appeared on his arm. Daniel also complained of headaches that worsened his condition. Seeing her son's unusual condition makes Emma panic is extraordinary. Ambulance was called to have his son taken to the hospital so that Daniel could get treatment immediately. Daniel is his precious possession.
"sickness, Mommy. It hurts" said Daniel, who reached out to his mother, who was following behind. Seeing that, Emma ran over and held her son's small hand.
"It won't hurt again soon, don't cry!" said entertaining.
"Daniel doesn't want to be injected, doesn't want to!" said his son again.
"Will not be injected. Daniel will only be given medicine by the doctor," Emma tried to fertilize, For children the syringe is scary.
"Don't let the doctor inject Daniel, Mommy. Daniel won't."
"No, Daniel doesn't have to worry."
"Did Mommy promise?" he asked his son weakly.
"Yes, Mommy promised!" that was all he could do to calm his son down so that Daniel would not cry but Daniel would still cry and complain if his body hurt.
"sickness, Mommy. Why is Daniel's body so sick?" ask her son in between his cries. Not only once, Daniel again complained of pain.
Emma can't do anything. Her tears even dripped whenever her son complained of pain. His heart could not bear, if it could replace Daniel, of course he was very willing. He should have been more sensitive to Daniel's situation so it wasn't too late. Daniel showed symptoms but he was too busy working. Emma rubbed her tears, she tried to toughen up. All this time he had always fought alone, he knew it was a risk for him who had taken a reckless path.
Daniel is taken into a room, lucky that Emma is allowed in because her son cries incessantly not wanting her to stay. A doctor takes care of Daniel's situation, the boy looked limp and not powered but the doctor could not immediately make a decision because the doctor had to confirm it by doing research that is taking blood samples and doing a series of studies.
"No, Daniel doesn't want to be injected!" daniel shouted as a nurse was about to draw his blood.
"It's okay, honey. It only hurts a little" persuaded Emma who was already standing by his son's side.
"Mommy lied. Didn't Mommy say Daniel wouldn't be injected?"
"Mommy thought so but to cure Daniel's illness, the nurse had to do it. Daniel can hold on, can't he?"
"No way, Mommy. Not want!" Daniel shouted while rebelling. Emma hugged her son so Daniel could be injected. Although his heart was heartbroken because it was not hearty but he could not do anything. A nurse also helps Emma to hold Daniel. The boy screamed loudly and bit his mother's arm as the syringe pierced through her thin skin.
"sickness, Mommy. Sick," Daniel whined. Now he again felt pain all over the body after rebelling. Several bruises were seen on his body.
"Someday it won't hurt again, Mommy will take the pain soon" he said as long as what he said was impossible.
"Daniel wants to go home, Mommy. Daniel doesn't want to be in the hospital. Daniel doesn't like it" his son asked.
"We're going home after this, okay? Now Daniel rests first. We go home after Mommy gets the medicine so Daniel doesn't feel sick anymore."
"This time Mommy can't lie anymore!"
Emma did not answer because she was lying. He did not know whether Daniel could go home or not because his illness was not known. In his heart there was only fear that he felt. He was really scared of Daniel's state that didn't look like a normal fever.
"Now that Daniel rests, Mommy will take care of Daniel until Mommy knows why Daniel is in pain."
"Mommy can't go!" pinta is her son who is afraid of being abandoned by his mother.
"Of course not, Mommy won't go!" Emma kissed her son's forehead and helped him lie down.
"Mommy, didn't Mommy promise to take Daniel away to find Daddy.. When are we gonna find Daddy, Mom?"
"We'll leave after Daniel's condition has improved. Therefore, Daniel must rest immediately," a gentle swipe was given on his swivel forehead. Emma smiled even though it was hard. Daniel's pale and tired-looking face made him worry even more. Emma accompanied her son until Daniel fell asleep. Every second he passed by feeling anxious until finally he was called to see a doctor who examined Daniel's condition.
With a heavy heart Emma left her son for a while. His premonition was bad, he was scared too. Both of his legs stepped heavily towards the doctor's room. Hopefully it's not a big thing and hopefully his son just has a fever like he expected from the start.
Emma's heart beat when she was in the room. He is welcome to sit by a doctor who looks so serious. Emma's feelings are getting more and more erratic, she's really afraid to hear what's going on with her son.
"What about my son?" the question was painstakingly asked by Emma.
"Leukemia, that's what the Madam's son is suffering from."
"What?" Emma squealed and looked in shock. His world was suddenly dark. Emma looked dazed, like she could not believe what she had just heard. He didn't even hear much of what the doctor said anymore and his vision was suddenly blurred by tears just flowing.
Emma walked slowly and walked away when the doctor had not finished explaining. He was like an undead man walking with an empty mind. Emma returns to her son's room where Daniel is still asleep. Daniel has leukemia? How could?
Emma fell on the side of the bed, crying but not making a sound. Wh why? Why did Daniel have to have the disease? Is this a punishment for him for all the wrongs he's done but why should Daniel be innocent? Why not just himself? Emma's cry became increasingly, now she did not know what to do because she knew if she needed a big cost to cure her son's illness.
