Chapter 44 Acute Gastritis
"Mr. Murphy." Violet stood up, "Why are you with Calvin and Arya?"
"When I came back, I happened to see the two of them downstairs, so I took them to my apartment." Stanley leaned against the wall of the corridor and replied quietly.
Arya raised her little hand and drew a big circle in the air, "Mommy, Uncle Murphy is so good. He took my brother and me to eat a lot of delicious food, and went out for a walk." "Yes." Calvin also nodded, "We just took a walk."
"It turned out to be like this." Violet understood. Then she took the two children to bow to Stanley, "Mr. Murphy, thank you for taking care of the two children."
"Never mind. But why did you come back so late?" Stanley raised his eyelids. There was a slight displeasure in his voice.
She was not afraid that there were some dangers if the two children were at home!
Violet didn't know what Stanley was thinking about. She explained with a smile, "I visited three cloth factories in the afternoon, so I came back late."
Hearing this, Stanley pursed his lips slightly, "Just let the purchasing department do these things. You don't need to do it by yourself."
"It's okay. 'Born of Fire' is very important to me. If I don't take care of each link in person, I will be worried about it." Violet raised her hand and tucked her messy hair behind her ears. Stanley's eyes were darkened.
At this moment, Calvin, who was whispering with Arya, suddenly felt not well. He covered his stomach and knelt on the ground, and vomited.
"Brother!" Arya was the closest to Calvin. When she saw Calvin vomiting, she shouted in fright.
Also frightened was Violet. She came to Calvin anxiously, and asked with a trembling voice, "Baby, what's the matter with you?"
Calvin didn't answer her, and kept vomiting.
Stanley also came over, squatting down in front of Calvin with a tense face, reaching out his hand to touch Calvin's small face and forehead. His voice was low, "He is very cold and sweating. We must go to the doctor right away."
Having said that, Stanley picked up Calvin without hesitation, and walked towards the elevator quickly.
Seeing this, Violet hurriedly pulled Arya to catch up.
"Mommy, brother will be fine, right?" Arya asked in tears.
"Of course, Calvin is a little superman. How could something happen to him!" Violet smiled reluctantly and comforted her daughter, but the worry in her eyes was so obvious.
On the way to the hospital, Calvin stopped vomiting, but he was shivering constantly, and it was more and more serious.
Violet worried that if this continued, he would bite his tongue.
So she quickly took out a handkerchief from her bag, kneaded it into a ball, and put it into Calvin's mouth.
"Mr. Murphy!" Violet hugged Calvin tightly, and shrieked to the man driving, begging unabashedly in her voice.
"I know." Stanley glanced at the rearview mirror. He squeezed the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. Soon, they arrived at the hospital.
Calvin was sent to the emergency room. Violet took Arya and waited anxiously outside the emergency room.
Stanley came back after registration. Then he walked to her side and stood still. He also looked at the door of the emergency room with her, "Don't worry. Calvin will be fine." Violet shook her head. She said with sobs, "How can I not worry? Calvin has never been sick. He's suddenly like this. I..."
She couldn't tell the following words. She just squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
Arya was also affected by Violet. She raised her head and cried with Violet.
The mother and daughter cried together, which made Stanley feel a little heartbroken.
Just when he wanted to comfort the mother and daughter to stop crying, the light in the emergency room suddenly went out.
Stanley narrowed his eyes, stepped forward quickly, stopped the doctor coming out of it, and asked in a deep voice, "How is the child?" Hearing this, Violet stood up immediately, wiped away tears at random, and went over to ask, "Doctor, is my son okay?"
"It's okay." The doctor replied, taking off his mask.
Violet breathed a sigh of relief.
Stanley also felt relieved.
Arya jumped up happily.
"Doctor, what kind of disease does my son have?" After breathing a sigh of relief, Violet remembered to ask the doctor about Calvin's illness.
"Acute gastritis. You parents have to pay more attention it in the future." After speaking, the doctor walked past them.
"Gastritis... How can he get gastritis?" Violet was puzzled.
"I'll go to ask." Stanley patted her shoulder.
Soon after he went, Calvin was sent to the general ward.
Arya was already asleep. She was placed next to Calvin by Violet.
Violet walked to the sofa opposite the bed and sat down, staring at the bed blankly, blaming herself.
A few hours ago, she had noticed that Calvin's face was weird, but she actually thought it was caused by lights.
She was really not a qualified mother!
As she was thinking about it, the door of the ward was opened. Stanley came in from outside and handed Violet a laboratory test form, "Calvin's test results are here. Gastritis is caused by seafood." "Seafood?" Violet was startled, then frowned blankly, "I didn't give Calvin any seafood?"
"It's me." Stanley lowered his eyelids, "I took them to eat seafood tonight. I'm sorry, I didn't know that it would let Calvin get sick."
Violet smiled bitterly, "It can't be blamed Mr. Murphy."
Based on the understanding of her two children, this seafood meal must have been requested by Calvin. So she couldn't blame anyone. Besides, Stanley helped her tonight, so she couldn't blame him.
"Anyway, Calvin's illness is directly related to me. I will be responsible for him." Stanley took off his vomit-stained coat and sat down next to Violet.
Violet rubbed her cheeks, and said, "Mr. Murphy, it's late. You can go back first. I'm sorry to have delayed your time for so long. When Calvin gets better, I will thank you again."
"It's okay. I will stay here, in case Calvin has any further checks. Don't you worry about leaving Arya alone in the ward?" Stanley looked down at her slightly.
Violet opened her mouth but had nothing to say.
Yes, the hospital was not the home.
The hospital was a mixed bag. What if Arya was taken away?
Thinking of this, Violet acquiesced to the proposal of Stanley. The two sat quietly on the sofa, taking care of the two children.
Time flied quickly. It was midnight in a blink of an eye.
Violet began to yawn. Her face was full of fatigue.
Stanley put down the phone and glanced at her, "If you want to sleep, you can go to the nurse's desk to apply for a bed. I'll stay here."
"No." Violet took a breath and replied listlessly, "Calvin hasn't woken up yet, so I can't sleep!"
"It's up to you." Stanley returned his gaze to the phone and continued to check the report.
However, before he could finish reading the report, he suddenly felt something on his shoulder.
Stanley's motion of sliding the screen stopped. He turned his head slightly to see that Violet was asleep with her eyes closed and leaning on his shoulder.☐☐☐
