Chapter 449
Caroline opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she was a little powerless. After a night of suffering, she only felt sore and weak all over her body. She also felt dizzy. From time to time, she had the illusion that the world was spinning around.
She woke up at 11:00 last night with a stomachache and went to the bathroom to excrete. After sleeping in the bed for a while, her stomach started to ache again.
She couldn't remember how many times she had had loose bowels till 8:00 this morning. She even had the feeling that she would die from having diarrhea.
It was the first time she had felt so bad. It was so terrible.
Violet hurried over to help her to stand, "Jesus. What's wrong with your hand? It's so cold. What happened to you?"
Caroline opened her mouth with difficulty. Just as she was about to speak, her expression changed. She suddenly covered her stomach and bent down. She felt extremely uncomfortable. The next second, she fainted from exhaustion.
In the hospital.
"Doctor, what happened to the patient? She was fine yesterday.”
Apart from Violet, Mr. Xavier was also in the ward. This was rare. But after all, Caroline was the granddaughter of his old comrade. He promised to take care of Caroline, but Caroline fell ill after only a few days in the Xaviers.
Derek was also there, holding his son's hand and standing aside. He was probably the only one who didn't care about Caroline.
The doctor stroked his eyes, "Don't worry. The patient's life is not in danger. It's caused by exhaustion.”
"After our examination, the patient was diagnosed with food poisoning and she had diarrhea all night. So, she fainted. I will prescribe some glucose and she will be fine after having intravenous drips.”
"But you should be careful. Although it's just diarrhea, if it goes on for a long time, something serious will happen. After all, it is not good to have loose bowels for a long time.”
Violet's expression was a little strange. She had thought it was a serious illness, but she didn't expect it to be just diarrhea. But all in all, she was relieved to hear it was just diarrhea.
At this moment, Caroline slowly woke up.
Violet immediately walked over, "Caroline, you're awake. Do you feel any discomfort? You have to tell me if you feel it."
Mr. Xavier also leaned on his crutches as he comforted Caroline, "You live in the Xaviers, and it's our responsibility as you fell ill. You don't have to think about anything. It's important to rest and take care of yourself."
Easton couldn't help but curl his mouth and tilt his head to one side.
Caroline was already awake when the doctor spoke, and she wanted to know what happened to her, so she didn't open her eyes.
She never thought that it was food poisoning.
As she grew up, she had always been very careful about eating. She didn't even touch that kind of unsanitary food. How could it be food poisoning?
Caroline could not help but recall that yesterday, before she went to bed, she had a bow! of soup. This soup was...
She thought of something, and she was in a state of doubt and confusion. She could not help but look at the two men, one big and one small, in suspicion. She happened to see Easton curling his mouth and tilting his head. Her lungs hurt from anger.
Derek's nonchalant look also irritated her. One shall know that sick people were always very sensitive.
She had a feeling in her heart that it was very likely that Easton made her become like this. After all, he served the soup.
The reason was obvious as Easton had that attitude just now, wasn't it?
She thought of the scene that she had loose bowels all night, and a wave of anger and resentment surged in her heart. The corners of her eyes became moist immediately.
"Caroline, what happened? Why are you crying? Do you feel uncomfortable?” Violet asked. Caroline shook her head, "Auntie, what exactly did I eat caused food poisoning? Can doctors check it out?”
If people here were ordinary people, they would not feel anything special about what Caroline said. But people here were all sophisticated. Apart from Violet, Mr. Xavier and Derek were both shrewd. "What do you mean?”
Mr. Xavier frowned a little but found it inappropriate for him to ask further, while Derek asked her directly.
Caroline pursed her lips and said softly, "I just want to know the reason, so I can avoid it next time. Maybe I'm allergic to something.”
Violet didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement, "Yes, we should check it out. So, we can avoid it next time. No one can stand it if it happens again.”
As Violet spoke, she casually said, "Caroline, you had a stomachache yesterday. Did you eat anything before going to sleep?”
That was what Caroline was waiting for. She lowered her head and looked a little embarrassed. She didn't see Mr. Xavier's frown
"There's nothing you can't say. Just say what you ate yesterday.”
Easton could not stand Caroline's pretentious look and could not help but snort.
Caroline heard this voice and her tears immediately fell down: "I, I didn't eat anything before I went to bed. I just drank a bowl of chicken soup.”
Violet paused and clapped her hands, "Yes, I remember that you drank a bowl of soup and Easton brought it up for you.”
Violet blurted out, but she actually did not mean anything. She was just worried, "Is it because of some of the ingredients in the chicken soup? You are allergic to these ingredients?"
Violet had never thought of the possibility that the food materials were not fresh. After all, food materials were bought early in the morning. Every day was the same. Food materials would not be kept for use the next day.
Caroline could not help but scold Violet in her heart for being brainless. But the expression on her face was even more miserable. She could not help but look at Easton, sobbing.
"Easton... Do you dislike me?"
Mr. Xavier and Derek had not spoken for a long time, and they had a vague presentiment. Caroline's question basically confirmed their premonition.
Their face clouded over and their expression became very cold.
A dark light flashed in the depths of Easton's big, innocent eyes. He pouted and looked confused, "Auntie Caroline, what are you talking about? Easton didn't say I disliked you.”
"You didn't say it, but you did.” Violet thought to herself.
In fact, Caroline could not believe that the child in front of her, who was less than six years old, would have such a thought to put the drug in her soup.
But what if it was a prank? It was not impossible that the child disliked her and wanted to play a prank on her, but he was so young that he went too far and let her suffer so much.
At the thought of this, she suddenly felt a sense of horror. Children at such an age didn't know what they were doing clearly. Today, it could be the laxative in her soup bowl. But what would happen if he used poison tomorrow?
Caroline herself broke out in a cold sweat and felt the need to utilize the elders in the Xaviers to teach this damn boy a lesson.
Violet couldn't help but say, "Caroline, don't think too much. How could Easton dislike you?" Caroline did not speak and the atmosphere suddenly froze
