A month passed, and the Fischer’s mansion seemed calm, but I always felt that the dark waves were surging below.
After work, I went back to the Fischer’s mansion, changed my clothes, went straight to my Uncle with Cheney, and just entered the courtyard, I heard a burst of laughter in the hall.
Cheney and I looked at each other and went into the living room.
It turns out that Flora and Afra are here.
They are sitting around with Romeo, while Uncle is watching the three of them.
Seeing us, Romeo stood up happily. “Mom, Dad, you are back.”
I stepped forward, gave Romeo a hug, then pulled him to Afra and sat down. “What are you having so much fun with?” I asked.
Romeo pointed to Flora. “Aunt Flora told us some jokes.”
I looked at Flora and said, “Flora, thank you. I’m sorry that these two children are bothering you.”
“Don’t bother, Miss Krista. Don’t be too polite to me. I’ll be embarrassed. I’ve always regarded you as my friend.” She said, putting down the joke book and standing up. “Okay, since you are all back, I will go back first.”
Romeo said, “Aunt Flora, you can join us for lunch.”
Flora rubbed Romeo’s little face and said with a smile, “Not today. Maybe some other time, okay?”
“Well… well, let’s make an appointment.”
Flora nodded to Romeo.
Seeing the communication between the two, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.
By rights, I should be happy that Romeo is liked, but how can I feel that my son has been taken away?
But Echo also likes Romeo very much. No matter how close she plays with Romeo, I did not get jealous.
This is… what’s going on. It’s different.
I shook my head. It was strange.
Seeing Flora was leaving, I walked her out of the door.
Flora smiled and said, “Miss Krista, when you are busy in the future, let me take care of Romeo for you. That child is really likable.”
“How can I bother you? Romeo has stayed with his Uncle for a long time. Just let his Uncle accompany him. I am very grateful that you can accompany him occasionally.”
She sipped her lips. “You are really polite. If you don’t say it, I will go back first. You should come into the house quickly.”
“Then I’ll leave you here.”
The two of us turned around and went in separate directions.

After walking away, I looked around and saw no one around. From my pocket, I took out a piece of paper wrapped in medicine and threw it into the trash can. Then my lips raised a sneer.
Krista, taste the loss of someone you love.
Krista’s pov
Cheney and I stayed with Uncle for more than two hours.
Before lunch, Romeo said he wanted to go to the bathroom.
I rubbed his head and said, “Go ahead, wash your hands directly before coming out. It’s time to eat.”
Romeo went into the bathroom a little stifled.
After a while, there was a sound of vomiting in the bathroom.
I didn’t feel at ease, so I knocked on the door.
“Romeo, what’s wrong with you?”
There was no echo in the bathroom.
I turned the doorknob and opened the door.
At the moment, Romeo is lying on the toilet, his face is white and he vomits.
I hurried forward, patted Romeo on the back and said, “Romeo, what’s wrong with you?”
“Mom, I… oh…”
“Uncle, Uncle, come quickly.”
Uncle and Cheney came running together.
When Uncle saw him, he came forward to take Romeo’s pulse.
Cheney hurriedly said, “What’s going on here?”
I was also worried. “I don’t know. Romeo said he had to go to the bathroom. Who knows, as soon as he came in, I heard him vomiting.”
“Uncle, I feel so uncomfortable.” Romeo looked a little distracted and turned and leaned in my arms.
Uncle took his pulse and said to Cheney, “Quick, find a car and go to the hospital.”
Hearing Uncle say this, Cheney didn’t dare to be careless. He went to pick up Romeo and ran out.
My Uncle and I are with us.
On the way to the hospital, Romeo’s condition is getting worse and worse.
I looked at my uncle. “Uncle, what the hell is going on? What’s wrong with Romeo?”
“His heart beats very fast and his pulse is abnormal. This is an acute symptom. It is safest to go to the hospital to check.”
Hearing this, Cheney stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the hospital.
Uncle’s judgment is half right.
Romeo’s symptoms are acute, but it was not because of a disease, it is cyanide poisoning.
When I heard the doctor say Romeo was poisoned, my legs were soft.
Poisoning …
Cheney reached for me and said to the doctor, “No matter what way or means you use, you must rescue my son. I won’t allow you to make any mistakes.”
The operating room door closed and Cheney held me in his arms. “Don’t worry, Romeo is my son. He will be fine. He will be fine. Don’t worry.”
I choked and my heart was in pain. “How could he be poisoned, how could he…”
On one side, Uncle slapped himself angrily. “How can I even look after a child? I am really useless.”
I looked at the guilty Uncle, reluctantly left Cheney’s side, walked to the front of Uncle, and held his hand with both hands. “Uncle, I’m not blaming you, I know, and you don’t want Romeo to get hurt.”
“Krista, I know your mind. I blame myself. You trusted me so much and gave Romeo to me to take care of, but I failed to protect him.”
Cheney stepped forward. “Uncle, did Romeo eat anything today?”
Uncle recalled it carefully and shook his head.
“Romeo only ate breakfast and didn’t eat anything else. Krista knows that this child doesn’t eat snacks.”
“Did he eat breakfast?”
Uncle nodded, “Yes, but I also ate that breakfast.”
Cheney frowned.
I took a deep breath. “Uncle, Romeo will be fine. Let’s all calm down first.”
I took my Uncle and went to the side of the lounge chair to sit down, waiting anxiously.

I called the monitoring room and asked them to keep the monitoring in the courtyard.
After ten minutes, Grandpa called.
I stepped aside and picked up my cell phone.
“What happened? Someone just came over and told me that you left in a hurry with your child in your arms.”
“The child was poisoned and is undergoing surgery in the hospital.”
“What?” The old man’s volume is a few decibels higher.
“Grandpa, you heard me right.”
“How is the child, is there anything wrong?” Grandpa’s voice shook a little.
“The operation is not over yet. I am not very clear about the specific situation. You wait at home and I will call you when I have the news.”
“What are you waiting for? Do you want us to worry to death? Tell me which hospital he was in, and I will arrive soon.”
I originally thought, don’t disturb the two old people first, but now it seems that I can’t hide it.
Then I called Eli, the driver, and asked him to pick up my grandparents.
Grandma was helped all the way to the door of the operating room by Eli.
Krista rushed forward and helped her, “Grandma.” She said, worry was seen in her eyes.
“Krista, how can this happen? How can this happen in the Fischer’s mansion?”
Grandpa was helped by Jacob.
He looked at me with an anxious face and asked, “Haven’t he come out yet?”
I shook my head. “Why don’t you sit down for a while?”
“Can I still sit still?” He came to the door of the operating room with a nervous face.
After a while, he turned back to the front of her Uncle and said angrily, “How do you take care of the children and how can you let the children be poisoned?”
“Grandpa,” I cried out, “what are you talking about? How can you blame Uncle?”
Her Uncle grabbed me and bowed to my grandfather. “Mr. Baldwin, I’m sorry to disappoint you. It’s my fault that I didn’t do my duty and take good care of Romeo.”
“Uncle,” I pulled him aside, “I can’t blame you for this. Don’t listen to my grandfather. He is so impulsive.”
“What are you talking about, you smelly boy?” Grandpa said unhappily. “I told you to leave the children in the Plum Court and let your grandmother and I take care of them, but you have to trust outsiders.”
