Chapter 311


    Chapter 311


    The atmosphere in the living room was getting extremely intense, but noises came from the other room


    at that moment.


    Renfrew pushed open the door and looked a little panicked. “Gabriel seems to be feeling ill…”


    Although Hesper did not study medicine, she had be somewhat of an amateur doctor after


    suffering from a long list of illnesses over the years. When she had nothing much to do in the past, she


    had learned a thing or two about Halwanese medicine from her doctors. One could say that she knew


    things, but she was nowhere near proficient.


    As soon as she saw Gabriel, Hesper felt that the child might be suffering from a stomach ache.


    “See? What did I just say? Gabriel has fallen sick, hasn’t he?” Eloise came into the room, yelling loudly.


    “It’s not that I want to reprimand you, Yohanna, but you’re indeed way too soft as a person. From what I


    see, this kid and your neighbor are not well-meaning people, so you can’t just get close to anyone that


    you like!”


    She had shown some restraint before this, but now she ndered Hesper and Renfrew directly


    now.


    Feeling that this was not the right thing to do, Yohanna frowned and defended the mother and son


    softly, “Hesper and Renfrew are not…”


    “What? Then are you saying that I’m the one who’s at fault here?” Eloise raised her voice. “Just open


    your eyes and look. Yohanna, it’s your son who’s sick now; it’s Gabriel. You can’t just be this ignorant


    all the time.”


    Hesper walked up to Gabriel, inspected him, turned her head around, and gave off a cold expression.


    “It’s definitely your problem.”


    Before Yohanna could react, Hesper continued to question Eloise solemnly, “What food did you feed


    Gabriel earlier today?”


    “What could I have possibly fed him?!” Eloise used Hesper with an exasperated expression. “It was


    obviously you! Can this get even more coincidental? After ying with your son for a short. while,


    Gabriel starts to have a stomach ache!”


    Hesper did not have the patience to argue with her. She only gave Eloise a cold re and stopped


    arguing with her. She then took out a pen and a piece of paper, quickly jotted down a prescription, and


    went home to grab some traditional Halwanese medicinal herbs.


    “Fortunately, I have an elder brother who’s a medical student. He often sends me some medicinal


    herbs just in case of emergencies,” Hesper said to Yohanna. “Gabriel is suffering from a stomach ache


    due to the umtion of gas in his stomach. It’s wintertime, and this is amon illness that kids get


    when they eat too much raw or chilly food. You wouldn’t give Gabriel something of that nature to eat at


    this time, would you?”


    “I didn’t…” Yohanna shook her head and thought of something after a short while. “If that’s the case,


    are you saying that Aunt Chapin did it?”


    Yohanna turned to look at Eloise, and Eloise became infuriated instantly. “You just believe in what


    this woman says? You should know best about how I normally treat Gabriel! I regard him as my own


    grandson, so why would I harm him?!”


    Hesper sneered. “You’re not trying to harm Gabriel. You’re just ignorant.”


    The kitchen was located on the second floor, and Eloise had offered to boil the medicine. Hesper was a


    little suspicious at first, but she still allowed her to take on the task anyway.


    “Aunt Chapin has been taking care of Gabriel not long after he was born…” Yohanna sighed.


    Although I sometimes feel that she’s… a little difficult to get along with, she has always been very kind


    to Gabriel. That’s why I haven’t fired her after so long.”


    ‘Yohanna is only trying to look after the household, but hiring a full-time babysitter isn’t a small expense


    for an ordinary family. Eloise has clearly failed to uphold her responsibility, so why should Yohanna


    tolerate her any further?’


    Gabriel’s stomach hurt really badly. His face had already turned pale while lying on his bed, and he


    lookedpletely different from the boy who was holding Renfrew’s hands and enthusiastically


    exining a game half an hour ago.


    Renfrew was frightened by what he saw and stood beside Hesper helplessly. “Did I make Gabriel


    sick?”


    Renfrew head heard what Eloise said.

    Hesper suppressed the surging me of anger in her chest cavity andforted her son. “This has


    nothing to do with you, so don’t me yourself for what happened.”


    Yohanna also felt a little sorry. “I’m sorry, I’ll apologize on Aunt Chapin’s behalf…”


    “No, it’s not your fault, so you shouldn’t be the one apologizing.”


    After saying so, Hesper sniffed the air.


    ‘It stands to reason that the medicine has been boiling for a quite a while. Even if the kitchen is on the


    second floor, I should be able to smell it from here
