âWhatâs going on?â
Little Yichen was stunned as his mother and father nervously stepped forward. In the confusion of the moment, it was his sharp eyes that caught sight of the painkiller on the bedside table. âDonât tell me his stomach is acting up.â
âHe looks pale. Could he be low on blood sugar?â Yun Shishi added, âAfter all, he hasnât eaten all day. Maybe heâs hypoglycemic.â
Little Yichen couldnât care less. He leaned over slightly, wrapped his hands around the back of Gong Fanâs neck and the bend of his knees, and lifted him up.
âLetâs take him to the hospital!â The boy hurried out the door as he spoke. Even though he was also shocked, he immediately made a decision amidst the confusion.
The couple exchanged a glance and immediately headed for the garageâ¦
â¦
In the hospital.
Gong Fan was hurriedly sent to the emergency room. The three of them waited nervously outside for a long time before the door of the emergency room finally opened. The doctor removed his mask and looked solemn as he strode towards them.
Yun Shishi immediately went up to him and stopped right before him. âHow is he, Doctor?â
The doctor glanced at her and asked, âAre you family members of this child?â Before she could answer, he caught a glimpse of the older boy behind her. He looked exactly like Gong Fan, so he understood at once. âFortunately, you admitted him in time. The child was suffering from acute morphine poisoning. I reckon that it was probably caused by accidentally taking too many painkillers. Weâve managed to flush out his stomach and induce vomiting in time. If it had been any later, the child would have suffered respiratory failure from morphine poisoning. The consequences would have been unimaginable.â
âMorphine poisoning â¦â Yun Shishi felt her blood run cold at that.
If Little Yichen had not forced his way in, perhaps Gong Fan would have had respiratory failure from morphine poisoning. And they did not have the slightest idea! She had lamented the boyâs rough way with the door, but if it hadnât been for him, perhaps Gong Fan would have been doomed.
âWhy did the child take so many painkillers?â The doctor wondered if Gong Fan had suicidal tendencies.
Knowing what he was thinking, she replied, âHeâs taking painkillers, probably because he has a serious gastric condition. In the past, Iâve been around to urge him to take his medicine. The dosage is strictly controlled. This time, when we werenât around, he threw tantrums and refused to eat. When his stomach hurt, he took his medicine at random. Thatâs probably why he didnât watch the dosage.â
âI see!â The doctorâs tone was inevitably reproachful. âThatâs because youâre too careless as parents! Parents should personally keep such dangerous medicine away. How can it be placed in a location within the childrenâs reach?â
Yun Shishi pursed her lips and bowed her head, accepting the doctorâs criticism guiltily. The doctor thought that Gong Fan was as childish as an ordinary child. In fact, only Yun Shishi knew that Gong Fan was aware he should not be overdosing on medicine. It was too painful this time. With the thought of giving up on himself, he took much more than he should have, but he did not know the consequences and almost caused a disaster.
âAs parents, youâre too irresponsible. You placed the medicine in a location where itâs within the reach of the children. If he didnât understand and had taken all of it, thereâd be no way to save him!â The doctor couldnât help criticizing her again. After all, she was responsible for the childâs condition.
