Initially, there was suspicion, but after Lao Hu's situation, Ye Ziyu confirmed her suspicions.
The emergency room door opened, and the doctor walked out.
"Doctor, how is he?" Ye Ziyu rushed forward to ask the doctor about Lao Hu's condition before she could answer Di Mingjue's inquiry.
The doctor removed his mask. "The patient is temporarily out of danger. Once the observation period passes without any issues, he can be discharged."
Abdominal pain involved life safety?
Ye Ziyu asked in confusion, "I don't quite understand. He had abdominal pain and vomiting due to eating too much fruit. Are there other problems?"
"The patient vomited due to poisoning," the doctor explained.
Poisoning?
Ye Ziyu looked at Di Mingjue beside her. Di Mingjue walked forward to comfort her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Do you know what kind of poison it was?" Di Mingjue asked.
The doctor said, "We've performed a gastric lavage on the patient. We'll get the results from the subsequent tests."
"Okay, thank you, Doctor."
"You're welcome. The patient has been moved to a ward, and his family can go to look after him."
After seeing the doctor off, Ye Ziyu held Di Mingjue's hand. "There must be something wrong with the school!"
"I'll arrange for Shen Lin to investigate now."
"No, I have my own plan. Don't alert them for now."
Di Mingjue looked at the pensive Ye Ziyu.
Upon entering the ward, they found Lao Hu lying weakly on the hospital bed. Di Mingjue and Ye Ziyu discussed it, and Di Mingjue stayed at the hospital with Lao Hu while she returned to take care of the three children.
It was already very late, and Di Mingjue was worried about her taking a taxi home alone, so he called Shen Lin.
Ye Residence.
"Brother?"
Ye Shaoting sat alone on the sofa, with only a floor lamp illuminating the space around him. The vacant look in his eyes suggested he had been sitting there for quite some time.
Ye Ziyu walked over. She noticed the screen of the mobile phone on the coffee table light up and then turn off.
"You're back. How is Lao Hu?" Ye Shaoting asked.
"It's nothing, just a stomach upset."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, he should be discharged tomorrow."
Ye Shaoting's eyes fixed on Ye Ziyu. After a moment of silence, he nodded and stood up from the sofa. "It's good that there's nothing serious."
Following him, they both went upstairs. Ye Ziyu arrived at the children's room door and, as she opened it, suddenly remembered something. "Is Xingxing still at the hospital?"
Ye Shaoting was not home before Lao Hu went to the hospital. Did he bring Xingxing back while they were away?
Ye Shaoting turned around slowly. "No, I came back to get something."
So, was it the maid who told him about Lao Hu?
Just as Ye Ziyu's thoughts formed, Ye Shaoting seemed to read her mind and answered her unspoken question.
"When the ambulance left, I happened to be returning. I asked the domestic staff and learned that Lao Hu had gone to the hospital.
"He ate too much fruit at night, which caused food poisoning," Ye Ziyu said.
Ye Shaoting gave Ye Ziyu a meaningful glance. "Mm, get some rest early."
She pushed open the door to the children's room and tucked them in. Then, still dressed, she curled up on the sofa.
...
"Yu Ze, take your younger siblings to the classroom. Mommy has something to discuss with your teachers."
On the school campus, Ye Ziyu handed her schoolbag to the three children.
"Bye, Mommy!"
"Mm, be careful on your way."
Watching them enter the teaching building, Ye Ziyu turned towards the academic affairs building.
The last time she had come to this office was because of Xingxing. It had only been a few days, and now she was back here again for Qianqian and the others.
Upon entering the office, there was only one teacher sitting at the desk by the window among several desks.
