Chapter 252
The nurse was shocked. Seeing Louis leaving the restroom, she scolded him, “How can you give a four–year–old child so many boxes of ice cream! What if she has acute gastroenteritis?”
Feeling perplexed, Louis stood at the door and said, “It’s not that big a deal. I’ve eaten plenty of ice cream, too. And those were just the smallest boxes.”
The nurse found him ridiculous. “Don’t you know how delicate a child’s stomach is? Even a slight breeze can make them sick. And you gave her ten boxes of ice cream? What if she gets sick later? Do you know how difficult it is for children to recover from illness?”
Louis growled, “No! How could she be so delicate?”
Laura hurriedly touched the nurse’s hand and said, “Don’t be angry. I want to eat them. I’m fine. I…”
Before she could finish her words, a sharp pain came from her stomach.
She suddenly covered her stomach, arched herself, and frowned in pain.
The nurse’s heart skipped a beat, “What happened to you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Laura was at a loss and grabbed the nurse’s hand tightly, “My stomach hurts so much… I want to
vomit…”
With that, she pushed the nurse away and rushed to the bathroom. She threw up all the ice cream she had just eaten!
The moment she finished vomiting, Laura felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
The coldness on the floor made her tremble!
But her stomach was extremely painful. She rolled on the ground in pain, “Ouch! Ouch!”
Louis was frightened. He had never seen such a thing, so he squatted before her and panicked,
“Laura, where does it hurt?”
She was so painful that she wanted to cry. Unconsciously, tears streamed down her face, “My belly…It
hurts… It hurts!”
The nurse glared at Louis and exclaimed angrily, “See what I meant I told you children shouldn’t consume so much cold food! How can you be such a negligent parent?”
Louis‘ face turned pale. Without saying a word, he held Laura in his arms and, ignoring his illness, strode to the corridor, “Doctor! Doctor!”

The doctor in the duty room looked at him confusedly.
He rushed to her and said, “My niece suddenly has a stomachache. Should I go to the pediatrician now? Will something happen to her?”
The doctor asked calmly, “Did she eat anything?”
Louis said, hesitantly, “She ate ten boxes of ice cream…”

The doctor’s calm expression instantly cracked, “A kid that age eating ten boxes of ice cream? Are you
serious?”
Louis felt guilty and said, “I usually like it. I thought she would be fine.”
The doctor said, “Are you stupid? How old are you, and how old is she? Can you two be the same?”
Louis dared not breathe, “Then what should I do now?”
After some consideration, the doctor advised, “Go to the emergency room right away to check if she’s experiencing intestinal spasms or acute gastroenteritis. Do whatever you can and try to ensure she’s cared for by someone who knows how to handle this situation properly.”
Louis rushed to the emergency hall with Laura in his arms.
Laura felt so weak in his arms that she barely had the strength to utter…“Louis, please save me…”
Louis calmly pressed the elevator button and gently patted her back, reassuring her, “Don’t worry, I’ll get you through this. It’s my fault for not realizing kids shouldn’t gorge on ice cream. I lack that basic knowledge. I’m sorry for causing you discomfort!”
Laura opened her eyes and looked at the cold sweat on his nose. She wiped it with difficulty.
Louis frowned and looked at her.
With tears in her eyes, she said, “I’m sorry to keep you from carving your intestines.”
Louis was speechless.
He awkwardly stammered, “Let’s not dwell on this now. The priority is for you to recover. If anything goes wrong, everyone around us will hold me accountable!”
Laura leaned on his shoulder and said childishly, “It’s all my fault. I know that mom won’t give me ice cream. She said if I ate too much ice cream, I would be sent to the hospital for injections. I didn’t believe it…”

Louis was visibly nervous and tried to comfort her, saying, “It’s all my fault for lacking common sense. I’m clueless about how to take care of you properly. Since you’re just a child, you don’t understand these things. Please forgive me.”
Laura bit her lower lip and shivered in pain, saying, “It’s okay, really. This is the first time something like this has happened to both of us. There’s no need for you to feel guilty. I can take care of myself. You can go ahead with your flower carving.”
Louis frowned and closed his eyes, “Laura… Actually, I didn’t carve intestines. I lied to you.”
Laura looked at him in surprise.
He stared at her eyes as if he had made up his mind, “Actually, I have a big hemorrhoid on my buttocks. I’m embarrassed to inform everyone, so I hid it from you and said I would come here to carve. But I didn’t expect that my concealment would cause such a thing. I am sorry! Don’t worry, I will be responsible!”
Laura was stunned and said listlessly, “So… You’re not here for beauty, but you are here to see a
doctor?”
Louis nodded heavily, “Yes, and it’s severe. The doctor said this is a mixed hemorrhoid! That’s why I don’t want anyone else to know! I feel so embarrassed. I still have a sanitary pad on my butt!”
As soon as he finished, the atmosphere suddenly became dull and heavy.
The elevator stopped sometime.
Louis suddenly had a bad feeling and looked at the door.
At the elevator door stood Joshua, Favian, Robert, and Dexter.
Louis looked at them.
They looked at him.
Holding a giant teddy bear, Joshua raised his eyebrows and asked, “Mixed hemorrhoids?”
Robert asked, “Are you wearing a sanitary pad on your butt?”
Favian asked, “Are you afraid that you will lose face?”
Dexter then laughed like crazy.
Louis‘ face darkened, and he said, “Stop laughing! Laura has acute enteritis. I have to take her to see a doctor!”

Dexter’s smile stopped abruptly, “What?”
Robert instantly looked stern, “How did this happen!?”
Louis hung his head in guilt and explained, “She caught me visiting the anorectal department, and I was afraid she might say it out to you. So, to shut her up, I gave her ten boxes of ice cream.“–
The atmosphere suddenly became intense.
Robert stared at him expressionlessly for a moment and suddenly kicked his butt. “Fuck you!”
Louis jumped in pain, “Ah!”
Dexter shoved him down and growled through clenched teeth, “Even I know a kid shouldn’t eat that much ice cream. How could you give her ten boxes? Are you trying to kill her?”
Favian crossed his arms and sneered, “Joshua, where is the gun? Put it on his hemorrhoids.”
Joshua loaded the gun indifferently, “Go to another world and apologize to us.”
Louis was speechless.
