Chapter 302
Under Rupert's gaze full of expectation, Joanna spread her palm and answered in a childish voice, "The four of us ate a piece of chocolate. The chocolate was long gone."
In fact, Joanna, a little glutton, didn't feel satisfied after eating a small piece of chocolate.
"Did all four of you eat chocolate?" Rupert asked.
Andrew answered, "No, I gave my chocolate to Joanna and Erika."
"Now, just three of us ate the chocolate," Joanna added.
Rupert frowned and doubted that the chocolate was not the root cause. He thought the reason why only Erika was under the weather was when she ate the chocolate with two other children.
Rupert took Joanna and Lukas to have their blood tested in case the two children got ill later.
Erika's case confused Rupert who studying medicine since he was three years old. It was the first time for him to encounter such a weird case though he had met numerous tricky medical cases.
Meanwhile, Erika woke up, immediately looked for Bonnie, and stretched out her arms for a hug, saying aggrievedly, "Mom, hug."
Heartbroken, Bonnie rushed over to embrace her and patted her on the back to soothe her. "Sweetie, you will be fine."
"But my stomach still hurts. Did I take some kind of poison? From a vicious witch" Erika sobbed.

Lukas quickly explained, "She means a bad guy deliberately poisoned her food. So, she felt her stomach still hurt."
Bonnie now turned speechless and urged sincerely, "Erika, after you recover this time, stay away from those soap operas."
Bonnie had to admit this kind of soap opera had negative influences on children.
Erika nodded weakly as her response. Looking at Erika, Joanna guessed she was in a low mood and quickly comforted her. "Don't worry. Without soap operas, we can read novels. Recently, I have been reading a novel named A Lady's Unrestrained Life with Her Five Children.
"No way. You are forbidden to read such novels," Bonnie ordered sullenly and felt the novel mentioned by Joanna was too strange.
Noticing Bonnie's wrath, Joanna moved forward to hold her finger and asked for mercy in a cute voice, "Mom, don't get angry. I will read Children's encyclopedia."
Facing such an adorable child, Bonnie softened as her anger dissipated and she rubbed Joanna's hair gently. "I don't get mad at you. I just hope all of you live a happy childhood and study hard."
Bonnie thought it is best for children to wait until they are adults to watch trendy dramas and novels and was eager to cure Erika as soon as possible.
Tough asked by Bonnie for help, Rupert still didn't find the root cause of Erika's discomfort.
Sweating and anxious, Rupert had to give her a painkiller shot first and the latter soon fell asleep.
It seemed that Erika couldn't leave the hospital for a while.
Rupert swept his sweat and said, "Let her stay in the VIP ward on the top floor. I will investigate the root cause."
Bonnie asked in a trembling voice, "She'll be all right, won't she?"
