Chapter 137 Did I Offend Someone?
“The thief ran away! Catch him!”
There was another shout outside, and Sonya hurriedly ran into the yard. The gate was a fence one, and it was securely locked. Through the fence, she could see a thin and tall woman trying to stop a tall man with disheveled hair, but he kicked her away with one foot.
“How dare you run!”
The woman was still thinking about pulling the man, while the man took out a short knife.
“Let him go. Don’t pull him.” Sonya quickly shouted at the woman.
The woman was also frightened by the knife in the man’s hand and quickly moved back.
The man turned his head and looked over. He was wearing a clown mask, covering his face, only evealing a pair of sharp and sinister eyes. He glanced at her and then ran away. Sonya’s heart thumped with fear. It was him. It had always been him.
Over the past year, he had come to steal several times. At first, he took the cash from the drawer. Later, when she stopped keeping money in the drawer, he stole equipment from her clinic, taking away everything he could move. Then she locked all the equipment in a room that he couldn’t open. Out of frustration, he started rummaging and smashing things, even soaking all the medicine from her cabinet in water.
Every time she called the police, he ran away. This person was very cautious, wearing a mask and gloves every time he committed a crime, and always escaped through the alley. This area was a shabby district with few surveillance cameras. As soon as he entered the alley, he disappeared from the surveillance.
Sonya hurriedly opened the yard gate and ran to the woman, helping her up. “Are you okay?” she asked with some concern.
The woman shook her head and said, “I just fell, but I’m fine.”
Some of the neighbors came out, but most of them were elderly and couldn’t help at all. Sonya thanked them and asked them all to go back and rest.
“Did you call the police?” the woman asked.
Sonya responded with a nod, “Yeah.”
“I need to go home first. My son is alone at home.”
The woman was the one with a child that Sonya encountered on the subway during the day. Sonya noticed that her palm was scraped, so she asked her to wait for a moment and went into the house to get iodine and bandages.
Sonya thought about helping her with it, but the woman was in a hurry to go home, so she had no choice but to hand over these two things to the woman and let her do it herself,
By the way, I haven’t asked you what your name is,” Sonya asked.
‘I’m Larissa.”
You can call me Sonya.”
The two of them shook hands and, because Larissa was in a hurry to go back and check her son,

they quickly exchanged names and left.
The local police officers arrived quickly. She had called the police several times throughout the year, so she was familiar with a few of them.

gained nothing.
“No, it’s just…” Sonya helplessly pointed to the traditional medicine scattered all over the floor inside the pharmacy.“These medicines are ruined.”
A police officer walked over to take a look, and as soon as he entered the pharmacy, he covered his nose. “No, how come there’s a strong smell of urine here?”
Sonya had never been inside before. With other police officers, she went in together. Sure enough, besides the smell of medicine, there was also a strong smell of urine.
She carefully examined the medicines and found that there were indeed traces of moisture on them.
The police officer asked Sonya to retrieve the surveillance footage from tonight, especially from this room. They saw the thief scatter the medicinal materials from the medicine cabinet onto the floor, and then he unfastened his belt and urinated on them.
One of the older police officers pondered for a moment and asked Sonya, “Have you carefully thought about whether you offended someone a year ago, to the extent that they would come to your clinic and cause trouble every now and then?”
Sonya frowned. At first, she thought it was a thief, but the thief’s behavior became more and more confusing, indeed more like revenge against her. But she just couldn’t figure out who she had offended.
“Think about it carefully. And we’ll expand the search range and see if we can find him from the surveillance outside this area.”
“Okay, thank you so much.”
After seeing off the police officers, Sonya looked at the mess on the floor and didn’t know where to start for a moment.

Just at that moment, she saw Larissa running over with
“Dr. Ella, my son had a high fever. Please check on him.”
Sonya busied herself clearing a vacant bed and asked Larissa to put Milton on it.
Milton had already become feverish, occasionally twitching. Sonya checked his temperature and was surprised to find that it had already reached 104 degrees Fahrenheit. His body temperature was so high that it couldn’t be reduced directly. She first took out alcohol to wipe his hands and feet, and when the temperature had dropped slightly, she then administered a fever–reducing injection.
Once Milton’s condition stabilized, Sonya took out a stethoscope and placed it on his heart. “Milton’s heartbeat is abnormal, you know? Is there any problem?” she asked. Larissa nodded.“He had a congenital atrial septal defect.”
“Do you know the size?”
.5 inches.”

Sava took off the stethoscope and checked his lungs again, and indeed there was a murmur. Mikron had pneumonia caused by congenital heart disease. I believe you have experienced this situation many times before, so don’t panic. I will go and drive now. You carry him on your back, and I will take you to the hospital.”
Larissa was actually in a panic, and holding her son, her mind couldn’t react at all.
There was no other way. Sonya carried Milton on her back and had Larissa follow behind. Her car was parked in the small square ahead. She put Milton in the back seat and pushed Larissa to sit inside, only then did she drive away.
She drove the car to Cloudsea Hospital at the fastest speed, then carried Milton into the emergency room. After informing the emergency doctor of the situation, they provided emergency treatment and asked the family members to handle the hospitalization process. Sonya helped Larissa complete the hospital admission procedures. Milton was treated with an IV

sigh of relief. Congenital heart disease–induced pneumonia was very dangerous, especially considering Milton’s significant defect.
I should have discovered his illness earlier. I was too negligent. I just thought that Milton always had a cold and was difficult to raise, but I never thought about taking him to the hospital for a check–up. I… Larissa cried as she spoke, “I don’t deserve to be a mother. I’m truly useless.”
“Where was Milton’s father?”
He died, I suppose.” Sonya was confused.
It seemed that Larissa didn’t want to talk about Milton’s father.
Seeing Larissa crying so hard, Sonya patted her shoulder. From the doctor’s perspective, Milton’s symptoms were already so obvious. As a parent, Larissa had indeed been neglectful. But from a woman’s perspective, she knew that it must be very difficult for Larissa to raise the boy alone, ‘Don’t worry. Once the surgery was done, Milton’s illness

Larissa nodded. “But we still have to wait in line, and the surgery can only be done in about a month.”

She went to talk to Milton’s attending doctor for a few moments because they used to be colleagues and were quite familiar with each other. By mentioning Milton, the doctor and nurses would pay more attention to her.
Coming down from the hospital, just as Sonya got off the elevator, she unexpectedly saw Henry, wearing a black coat, walking out from the west side of the first floor. The two of them were about to bump into each other.
