A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 399

One Chance

Kathleen ordered, “Draw some blood, and bring it to the lab for testing.”

The doctor immediately called a nurse over to carry out those orders.

Meanwhile, Kathleen gave the little girl a brief check.

Her voice was soft as she spoke. “Hey there, can you hear me?”

The little girl’s eyes remained shut.

“Can you hear my voice?” Kathleen tried calling out again.

This time, the girl slowly opened her eyes in a daze.

“You’re awake. What’s your name?” asked Kathleen.

“Where’s Madeline…” The girl was very confused.

“Don’t worry about her. She’s fine. What’s your name?” Kathleen asked again after reassuring the girl.

“Felicia. My name is Felicia…” After answering the question, the little girl passed out again.

The doctor furrowed his brows lightly. “Dr. Johnson?”

“Where’s the report?” Kathleen stood up.

The nurse came running over. “It’s here, Dr. Johnson!”

Kathleen scanned through it. “Her platelet levels are low. Everything else is showing abnormal levels as
well. She might have leukemia.”



The doctor and the other nurses were stunned.

“Take her to a ward for now. Find a way to contact her family,” said Kathleen.

“Got it.” The doctor nodded.

Kathleen turned around and went out.

Just then, Federick came running over. “Kate!”

“Federick, Madeline has already been admitted into a ward. Her head is injured. We’ll have to wait for
the CT scan results to determine more,” explained Kathleen.

Federick’s hands were cold. “Will she be all right?”

“Don’t worry, Federick. You have me,” comforted Kathleen. “Let’s go to the ward and take a look at her.”

“Okay.” He choked up slightly.

Soon, they arrived at the ward.

Gemma was currently taking care of Madeline.

When she saw Federick, she greeted him solemnly, “Hey, Federick.”

Federick went over. When he saw Madeline lying in bed, her face devoid of colors, tears streamed
down his cheeks.

“Recently, Madeline’s condition has improved a lot.” Federick dabbed his tears.

“Sometimes, she’ll speak to us. Although her sentences are simple, it still makes us very happy.”



“This past week, she has been taking the dog for walks in the morning,” he added bitterly. “We knew
that it wasn’t safe for her to go out alone. However, as you all know, it was a good chance for us to train
her. Yesterday, my mom’s leg was acting up. She couldn’t even walk today, so I stayed home to watch
her. I never expected…”

His voice trailed off, and by then, he was sobbing uncontrollably.

Kathleen and Gemma exchanged looks with each other before going up to him.

“Federick, don’t worry. Madeline will be fine,” said Kathleen caringly.

“That’s right. Don’t be like this. Madeline will recover soon enough,” Gemma chimed in.

“Yeah.” Federick wiped his tears away. Staring at Madeline, he felt his heart ache.

“Dad… Dad…” Suddenly, Madeline started to speak.

Federick was stunned for a moment.

He raised his head and stared at her daughter. “Madeline, you’re awake?”

“Dad… Dad…” Madeline cried out.

“I’m right here!” He grabbed hold of her hand. “Are you in pain? Tell me!”

“No.” Madeline raised her hand above her head. “The girl…”

“Madeline, that little girl’s name is Felicia. She’s still in the emergency room right now, but there’s no
need to worry. Nothing will happen to her,” Kathleen replied reassuringly.

Madeline turned her head to the side. “Ms. Johnson!”



“Yes, it’s me.” Kathleen held her hand. “Be good. Don’t touch your injuries.”

“Is she okay?” Madeline asked.

Kathleen nodded. “Yes, she’s fine. There’s nothing for you to worry about. Got it?”

“Mhm.” Madeline nodded. “Dad, what about the dog?”

“The dog ran back home by itself. Once you get discharged from the hospital, you’ll be able to see it
again.”

Madeline sighed in relief.

Kathleen and Gemma exchanged smiles.

They both came out of the ward together.

“What a scare!” Gemma patted her chest. “I thought Madeline was in serious trouble. When I saw her
covered in blood earlier, I was so afraid.”

“Madeline is really lucky.” Kathleen smiled warmly.

“Indeed.” Gemma nodded in acknowledgement.

“Are you working the morning shift?” Kathleen looked at Gemma.

“Yeah. You?”

Kathleen yawned. “I worked the night shift. I was just about to get off work, but then…”

“You’d better go back and rest now,” Gemma answered worriedly.

“No. I want to check Madeline’s CT scan results later. I’ll head back to my office for now.”



“Okay.” Gemma nodded.

With that, Kathleen turned to head to the office.

When she reached the door, she noticed several nurses peering into her office.

“What’s going on?” Kathleen frowned.

“Dr. Johnson, look!” One of the nurses pulled Kathleen inside.

On her desk, there was a huge bouquet made up of ninety-nine roses.

The entire room was filled with the fragrance of rose.

Kathleen picked up the card attached to the bouquet.

On it was the message: To my beloved Katie.

One of the nurses helped her read it out loud.

Behind them, the other nurses were even more excited than Kathleen herself, who found it rather
hilarious.

“Don’t you guys need to work? Better be careful the head nurse doesn’t scold you guys.”

With that reminder, everyone immediately dispersed.

Holding the card, Kathleen turned to go upstairs.

She entered Samuel’s ward.



Upon her entrance, Samuel closed the book in his hand. “You’re here. Tyson just sent breakfast over.
Let’s eat together.”

Kathleen set the card down in front of him. “Is this your doing?”

“Can’t you even recognize my handwriting anymore?” He stared at her meaningfully.

She replied in frustration, “Of course, I can. My point is, why did you have to make it so high-profile?”

“Is giving you flowers very high-profile?” His tone was playful.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was afraid she might get scared off by him, he would be announcing his
love for her to the entire world by now.

Kathleen was speechless. “You can eat breakfast alone. I’m going home to catch up on some sleep.”

“Sure.” Samuel nodded.

Kathleen glanced at him sideways. “Thanks for the roses. They really lifted my mood.”

With that, she turned to leave.

Samuel’s lips curved into a smile.

She likes them! Great!

Meanwhile, at the Sullivan residence, Leonard had never expected Kelly to show up at his door.

He was a total mess. His clothes were dirty, and he reeked of alcohol.

Just as Kelly was about to say something, a woman came out of the room.

She wrapped her arms around Leonard. “Mr. Sullivan, what’s the matter?”



Kelly froze upon seeing that.

Leonard is dating someone?

“Nothing. Head inside and get some more sleep,” answered Leonard softly.

“Okay.” The woman raised an eyebrow at Kelly. Her gaze was cold.

After the woman went back in, Leonard sat down on his couch. He lit up a cigarette and asked, “What
is it?”

“Can you help me find someone?” Kelly was desperate.

“Who?” Leonard locked his eyes on her face.

She wasn’t sure what he was trying to read off her face.

“A little girl. Her name is Felicia. She’s four years old.” She paused and then continued, “She also has
leukemia. Please hurry if you can.”

“Hah!” Leonard scoffed. “You’re asking me for a favor, yet you dare to rush me?”

“Leonard, please. I need your help.” Kelly’s eyes were red. “Felicia’s body is really weak.”

“Kelly, do you remember why we broke up last time?” he asked frostily. “You told me you were going
out. When I went looking for you, I found you in bed with another man. I don’t suppose that child is
his?”
