Chapter 1230
Two minutes later, Anthea ran back to the banquet hall again.
She just moved so fast that those who did not know the truth might think that just now she left in anger simply because she had been reprimanded by Bellamy. Even Adam could not figure out what happened. When Anthea ran away, his fingertips could only touch the edge of her dress, bringing a gust of wind back to him.
A large glass bowl was now being held in Anthea's hand.
It was true! She was indeed not a professional doctor now.
It was normal that people in the banquet hall did not believe her judgment, but what if her judgment was the right one?
Anthea also had once been sent to the hospital for surgery due to acute appendicitis. She was therefore very clear about the clinical symptoms of this disease. Although the symptoms of the little boy looked very similar, she had just observed the change of his pupils, and was almost confirmed that her judgment of food poisoning was correct.
In any case, even if she was found to have made a wrong judgment in the end, it would barely have any negative impact on the boy's health. But if the emergency treatments for food poisoning were not provided, it might turn out to be life-threatening to the boy!
Thinking of this, Anthea looked more confident and assured.
She went back with a glass bowl in her hand and ran straight to the little boy.
"Miss Lee, what are you going to do with him?" Amelie frowned and asked.
Anthea did not answer her, but directly kneeled on the ground. As the crowd watched her anxiously, she pinched the boy's chin, opened his mouth, and poured the bowl of water into his stomach without explanation. While doing this, her look was quite serious.
"What are you doing?!!" Bellamy immediately chided her loudly when he saw what she did. "Adam, stop her!"
Adam stepped forward with a frown.
His tall figure leaned down. Instead of listening to his father's instruction, he helped Anthea by holding the little boy's chin, so that it would be more convenient for the latter to pour the water into his mouth. Amelie was forced by their movements to step aside.
She did not move forward again or say anything else. She simply had her own plans in her mind.
She thought it would be advisable to allow Anthea to show off her medical skills now. After the boy was sent to the hospital and had to go through the operation of appendicitis, there would be a golden opportunity to blame Anthea for giving the boy emergency treatments of food poisoning.
When Bellamy saw this, his tiger-like eyes widened angrily. "I think you have gone nuts! How can you let her do what she thinks is right? Don't you know this could be harmful to the kid? The ambulance will be here soon!"
Neither of them seemed to have heard Bellamy's words.
Anthea's eyes were fixed on the little boy, while Adam's eyes fell on her face, adamant and doting.
Anthea had added a lot of salt in the water.
At this time, the little boy was in so much pain that he could not even cry out. He was trembling slightly, and was going to lose consciousness at any moment.
Anthea easily poured the thick saltwater into the boy's stomach. The little boy kept coughing, and his little body curled up painfully, but he did not vomit. She poured all the saltwater in the bowl into his stomach without hesitation.
After observing the boy carefully for two seconds, Anthea closed her index and middle fingers and pressed them against the root of the boy's tongue to induce vomiting.
After a few attempts, the little boy finally vomited.
The crowd were frightened.
Bellamy's face also slightly turned pale. He was really worried that Anthea might harm the boy with such treatments. He strode forward and shouted fiercely at her, "What do you think you're doing? You're just messing around! Hurry up and let go of the kid. Security guards, get this crazy girl out!"
"The ambulance is coming!"
Just then, someone shouted.
The next second, a doctor wearing a white gown ran in from the entrance of the banquet hall, and he was followed by several others who were carrying a stretcher.
The doctor knelt on the ground and quickly checked the little boy's conditions. He immediately ordered his assistants to put the boy on the stretcher and sent him to the ambulance downstairs. After that, they left for the hospital.
As such an accident had happened, naturally, the banquet needed to be cancelled. Bellamy briefly made a speech to the guests, and then the banquet was ended.
After ordering the servants to arrange for the departure of the guests, Bellamy immediately went to the hospital.
Adam also drove Anthea to the hospital.
At a military hospital...
Many people were waiting in the corridor outside of the emergency room.
Bellamy, and his wife Meadow, as well as Amelie and Hank, were anxiously waiting. From time to time, nurses ran in and out of the emergency room. Hank was especially anxious, and he had been scratching his hair because he was very worry about his son's disease.
Everyone was waiting for the result.
Since the little boy ran into an accident, Bellamy's expression had never relaxed for a while. He tried to comfort Hank, but no words seemed to be useless in the face of reality. He could only pray that the boy was safe.
When Bellamy heard the sound of footsteps, he turned around and saw that Adam, his son, had brought Anthea to the hospital.
Bellamy glanced over them with an angry gaze, as if he was warning the latter "How dare you show up here."
However, Anthea did not feel Bellamy's anger, because before she could see the old man's angry eyes, Adam had firmly stood in front of her, protecting her from any hostility. His hands were gently holding hers.
Anthea's eyes could only see Adam's broad shoulders and back.
He was like a mountain, shielding her from the wind and rain.
She also felt that his fingers with gun callus had gently scratched her palm twice. Anthea almost couldn't help smiling. She tried to control herself because this was inappropriate.
Anthea looked at the emergency room nervously. She was very concerned about the little boy's situations.
About an hour later, the doctor came out.
Bellamy immediately went forward and asked, "Doctor, how is it going?"
"The boy is now out of danger. His vital signs are currently very stable!" The doctor replied.
Amelie glanced at Anthea, who had stood up together with Adam from the chair. There was an almost unnoticeable smile on Amelie's face, because she wanted to see how embarrassed Anthea would be. Amelie was standing beside Bellamy, and the latter asked the doctor, "Is it appendicitis? Does he need an operation?"
"There's no need for operation. It's not acute appendicitis." The doctor shook his head.
"Not acute appendicitis?" Bellamy was astonished.
"Yes... It's food poisoning!" The doctor nodded.
Amelie's body suddenly trembled.
She looked at the doctor unbelievably, suspecting that she might have heard the wrong words!
It was not appendicitis. It was really food poisoning... Then Anthea's judgment was right...
Amelie almost gritted her teeth into pieces out of hatred.
She was very confident in her words and judgment in the hotel. However, it turned out to be that she was virtually on the wrong side. She felt as if her face had been slapped several times! Except for Adam and Anthea, everyone else on the scene was shocked by the doctor's diagnosis.
Bellamy and Meadow looked at each other, and then asked uncertainly, "Doctor, are you sure it's food poisoning?"
"Of course!" The doctor nodded and continued, "After the boy was sent to the hospital, we offered him a blood test. The test results showed that he was suffering from food poisoning. He must have eaten something wrong by accident. The details can only be confirmed after other test results come out. We have washed his stomach and emptied his intestines. It won't be life-threatening now. All of you can rest assured!"
Although Hank did not understand what they were talking about due to the language barrier, he still could read from other's facial expressions what happened. He asked excitedly, "Is my son all right now?" "Yes!" Adam nodded.
Hank was so happy that he prayed to thank God in German.
The doctor smiled again and added, "By the way, before the ambulance arrived, somebody in the hotel had taken first aid measures in time. This was very helpful in saving the kid!"
