My Sweet Wife

Katherine little friend pitched her dad a hard time, but she didn’t know.

Every day is very joyful to go to school, and very joyful to go home, sticking to her mom. Today, Katherine had a tummy ache at lunchtime because she didn’t know what she had eaten.

The teacher first sent her to the hospital and then contacted the parents.

“Katherine child, what’s going on? How come you have a stomachache all of a sudden?” The principal asked worriedly.

The teacher was also scared and quickly said, “I don’t know what’s going on. The doctor said that Katherine ate something wrong, but all the children in the kindergarten are eating the same food, there is no reason why just Katherine should have a stomachache.”

“Headmaster, teachers, don’t worry, Katherine just has a tummy ache, it’s normal for children to have a tummy ache and a fever. You guys just go ahead and get busy with the school, I’ll stay here alone to take care of Katherine, just wait for her mom to come to the hospital to pick her up.” These words came from Ms. Donald.

Originally, last time Nathanael Lora was going to make a trip to the school to find the principal to have him expelled, only that he then took a break for two days, and the school he went to later picked up Katherine, and he hadn’t seen Mr. Donald show up, so he forgot about it for a while.

Katherine children do not like Mr. Donald, just she now has no strength from her stomach pain, she simply does not have the strength to talk.

The principal looked at Katherine like this, “This child is in such pain, how can it be trivial?”

“Doctor, where is the doctor?” The principal looked for the doctor, “Doctor, are you sure this is something the child ate badly? It can’t be anything else, can it?”

“It’s certain the child ate unclean food, it checked out at noon.”

The doctor glanced at the IV, “Wait for the IV to take effect for a little while longer. I’ll prescribe the medicine, so you guys hurry up and feed it to the child.”

“Uh, okay.” Ms. Donald rushed to the water.

After feeding Katherine the medicine, Teacher Donald looked at the principal, “Principal, you’ve heard what the doctor said, the doctor said Katherine is fine. You and the teachers should just go home.”

“Okay then.”

Katherine’s little friend was much better from the medicine and was about to speak when she heard her mom’s voice.

“Katherine, Katherine, Mommy’s here.” As soon as Larissa arrived, she was heartbroken to see Katherine’s miserable little face, still in a hangnail.

Katherine has been well taken care of since she grew up, so she rarely gets sick, and the whole family is precious.

Katherine cried out, “Mommy ….”

Larissa held Katherine on her lap and kissed Katherine’s cheek, “Good boy, mommy is here.”

The principal saw Larissa with an apologetic face, “I’m sorry Larissa, we didn’t take care of the child.”

“How can my daughter have a stomach ache when she’s fine?” Larissa huffs and looks at the principal.

On the phone she heard the principal say that the child had been taken to the hospital with a stomachache.

The principal pondered for a moment, “The doctor’s test results are saying that the child ate something unclean. The food we provide in the kindergarten is fine, and so many children have eaten it with no problems. So I’m wondering if Katherine’s child ate something else privately.”

The one who could be the principal of the kindergarten wasn’t a young man, so naturally he had encountered a lot of emergencies.

He said this with a good attitude, but he was also hinting to Larissa if it was because the family had brought something for Katherine to eat and it had gone bad.

“I don’t have any snacks for the kids today. Our family prepares desserts for Larissa three days a week because we are afraid that the child will eat too many desserts and cause cavities, so we are very strict about what we eat. Usually desserts are prepared for Larissa on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and today is Tuesday.”

Larissa finished talking to the principal, then looked at Katherine, “Honey, did you eat anything else today besides dinner?”

“And a cookie, from Amelie’s sister.”

Amelie gave the cookie, Larissa didn’t suspect at all that there was something wrong with that cookie because Amelie must have eaten it as well, and the fact that Amelie didn’t have a tummy ache meant that it wasn’t the cookie.

Ms. Donald, who was on the side, smiled and said, “Maybe the children gave each other snacks, ate too much and got a tummy ache. Anyway, Katherine is fine, she has taken her medication and had an IV drip, so she will be fine in a little while. You don’t worry, and you don’t worry, Principal.”

“I will definitely take care of Katherine little friend here, I didn’t watch over her and let her mess up her food, it’s also my problem.”

Katherine in her arms moaned in distress, and Larissa was not in the mood to discuss what Katherine had eaten to upset her stomach right now.

Larissa patted Katherine’s back and coaxed gently, “Baby good boy, baby first sleep for a while, when you wake up from sleep, your stomach won’t hurt anymore, sleep.”

“Uhm …”

The child also slept, the principal and teacher Felicia from the Katherine children to the hospital to now has been standing at the side without relaxing for a moment, has stood until now, the principal only opened his mouth, “Then Larissa, I and the teachers will first return to the kindergarten, Mr. Donald to stay here, if you have any needs, just feel free to order! Mr. Donald will stay here, if you need anything, just ask him. And the medical expenses, we’ll cover it at the kindergarten.”

After the principal finished speaking, she led the teachers away.

Teacher Donald looked at Larissa, his eyes gleaming and a smile piled on his face, “Larissa, your hands will get tired if you keep holding the child like this.”

“Here, give me the baby and I’ll put it on the bed. The child is quite heavy …”

Larissa gave him a cold stare, signaling him to shut up.

She didn’t say anything for fear of waking Katherine.

Mr. Donald stood on the sidelines, wanting to speak, but afraid to do so as well. There was so much he wanted to say to Larissa.

When Katherine’s little friend’s hangnail was finished, Katherine took Larissa’s hand, “Mommy, Katherine wants to go to the bathroom.”

An IV makes you want to go to the bathroom a lot.

This is the children’s area, the room is full of hospital beds, the bathroom is outside, Larissa carried Katherine out to look for a toilet. When she came back, she heard the hospital bustling with the sound of a woman crying, and she looked more than once and saw Cleo.

A woman kneeled in front of Cleo, in tears, “I beg you, Dr. Cleo, please, save my father …”

“I said, don’t make it difficult for Dr. Cleo, the hospital has hospital rules, we have no way to operate on your dad without paying the medical bills. We’re just a doctor, working here, we can’t violate the rules in the hospital.” A doctor beside her helped Cleo to speak.

But the woman didn’t listen, and with a ‘clunk’ sound, she kept on kowtowing to Cleo.

“Doctor, I beg you, relief for my father, please …” Every time she kowtowed, the black and blue on her head became more severe.

Looking at her head knocked to the point of bleeding, the doctors next to her rushed to tug her.

Only Cleo didn’t go forward, he stepped away and just spoke to the nurse beside him, “Go and notify to operate on the patient, the medical fee I’ll go over and pay it now.”

Those who didn’t hear Cleo say this cursed him for being cold-blooded and sympathized with the girl kowtowing on the ground.

But Larissa took in the scene and knew why Cleo didn’t go up to pull the woman, one of his legs was a smart prosthesis and he couldn’t even make giant movements now except for normal walking.

She knew he was afraid that people would pick up on the fact that one of his legs wasn’t real, it was a smart prosthetic.

“Alas, look at this world, it really is that if you don’t have money, don’t think about living. It is said to be a doctor, treating the sick to save others is the vocation, but this patient are sent to the hospital, no money also give refused the door, just watch a person to die.”

“That’s right, this hospital is still a public hospital, our country’s hospitals are so cold-blooded!”

“Look at that doctor, this girl kowtowed to him so much, he didn’t even say a word, he didn’t even reach out to help that girl.”

Just as they were discussing and cursing.

At this time, the nurse went up and pulled the woman who kowtowed, “Get up quickly, it has been arranged for your father to have an operation, so hurry up and come with me and sign.”

“Good, good, good. I sign, sign …,” that woman trembling and excited up.

Larissa became an actress and interpreted a lot of roles, like this, she also acted. But that was all just acting.

She never thought that one day she would really see this kind of situation, to be honest, her heart is still very sad, nowadays in this era, there are still people who are so poor that they can’t afford to pay the medical bills, and they are kneeling and kowtowing to people, begging for sympathy.

But now she is more concerned about Cleo, just now whether the mood is affected, she held Katherine, went to find Cleo.

When Cleo saw her, her figure was fixed, and it took a while before she opened her mouth to ask her, “Why are you here?”

“My daughter has a stomach ache and is here to see the doctor.”

“Oh. Is it better then?”

“Fine.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

After that conversation, they looked at each other and were silent for a while. Then Larissa spoke up, “I just, did see in the hall …”

“It’s been taken care of.” He spoke back.

“That’s good.” Larissa nodded.

Cleo opened and closed her lips a few times, wanting to speak, before finally spitting out the words, “How have you, been?”

“Uh, good. Every day has been pretty busy, besides taking care of Katherine, I’ve been editing a few little videos on my own. How about you? How have you been?”

Some of it was because it had been a long time since they’d seen each other, and some of it was because they’d had a moment before, and now that they were seeing each other again, they actually felt a little uncomfortable, a little overwhelmed, and they didn’t even feel like they knew what to say when they spoke.

She once took Cleo as family, and Cleo get along with are very comfortable comfortable, but did not expect one day will become like this.

Cleo looked up at the daughter held in Larissa’s arms, a soft glutinous rice ball, very inviting and likeable, he smiled and spoke, “She’s called Katherine, that’s a nice name.”

“Well, her father named her, I also think it sounds good.”

After this conversation, there were no more words.

At that moment, a nurse’s voice came from outside the door, “Dr. Cleo, it’s time to start the surgery, please hurry.”

“Coming!” Cleo answered and glanced at Larissa again.

Larissa smiled and spoke, “Go ahead and go about your business.”
