374 Chapter 373
At that mont, the Murphy family was in total disarray, and everyone rushed over to Bobby imdiately.
Christina was splattered with filth across her face, which unsettled her completely, but because it was from her son, she could bear the extre disgust.
She hurriedly picked up a tissue and wiped herself clean.
Richard also reached his son's side, patted his back, and asked, "What happened? Are you alright?"
Bobby, covered in tears and snot, felt only pain and sorrow; he wanted to cry, but vomit spewed out instead.
It wasn't until he felt like he'd emptied everything in his stomach that he started to feel better.
Although Christina had already cleaned herself off by then, she still felt as if there was a lingering sll on her, yet she looked anxiously at the family doctor. "What's wrong with Bobby?"
The family doctor examined Bobby carefully and then asked, "Did Bobby cry today at the kindergarten?"
He glanced at the dical report in his hand; Bobby had a checkup six months ago, and there weren't any issues.
Hearing the doctor's question, Christina frowned and looked at Bobby, who had cald down by then.
Bobby looked listless and very uncomfortable; he lay on the couch, clutching his stomach. "Mommy, I think I'm a little hungry."
Christina imdiately said, "I'll ask Sara to make you sothing to eat right away."
"I don't want food; I want chips!" Bobby started fussing. "I want chips! Today at school, the teacher wouldn't let have any and even made stand outside as a punishnt. They still wouldn't give any chips when I cried. The teacher is so an; I don't want to go to school anymore!"
Christina's face instantly darkened when she heard this. "They made you stand outside as a punishnt?"
The family doctor said, "That explains it. It was quite windy outside today. If he was crying out there, he must have caught a chill in his stomach. That's probably what caused the vomiting. It shouldn't be anything serious; we can keep an eye on him."
Although the Murphy family always placed great importance on the child, the fact was that Bobby was a big boy now. Moreover, he often spat up milk as a baby. They had taken him everywhere seeking dical advice, but they never discovered any problems.
As he got older, he occasionally vomited as well, so Richard and Bobby's grandmother didn't take it too seriously.
Christina, for so reason, rembered Keera's words, "...If he starts vomiting, you must take it seriously."
This thought barely crossed her mind before Christina shook her head imdiately, thinking she must be overreacting!
How could she suddenly believe what Keera said?
Keera wasn't a doctor!
Christina helped Bobby up the stairs, coaxed him into eating dinner, and watched as the child fell asleep before leaving the room.
As soon as she ca out, her expression turned gloomy.
Just then, the butler approached and said, "Madam, there are guests from the Olsen family."
Christina walked briskly into the living room, only to see her third brother, Jas Olsen standing there.
Jas was tall and well-built, with a similar appearance to Ellis, except without Ellis's enchanting aura. Instead, he had a more somber and sinister air about him.
He worked for the Olsen Group, overseeing the project departnt.
Ellis often smiled, but he looked like a demon king causing chaos in the world.
Jas, however, was different; although he had a stern look, Christina knew that he despised evil and was always very good to her and Victoria.
Therefore, upon seeing him, Christina's eyes imdiately welled up with tears.
Jas ca today to deliver an invitation to the Murphy family.
For so unknown reason, the Olsen family was to hold a grand banquet a week later. The specific reason was unclear, but their third uncle had assigned tasks to each of the brothers.
The Murphy family, being in-laws, definitely needed to be treated with proper courtesy.
But... what was wrong with Christina? She looked off.
Jas imdiately frowned. "What happened?"
Christina didn't speak; she didn't know how to begin...
Richard said, "What happened? Bobby was bullied at school! The new director made him stand crying in the courtyard in the cold wind. The kid just ca ho and threw up!"
Upon hearing this, Jas was startled. "Isn't the director of the kindergarten soone from the Olsen family? Isn't Christina in charge?"
Richard then turned his gaze to Christina.
Christina looked down. "No, I think Ellis changed it."
Jas frowned. "Who's the new director?"
"Keera South."
Jas had so impression of that na; after all, at Ellis's wedding, she was the bridesmaid. Led on by Christina's hints, he imdiately misunderstood. "Are you saying Ellis gave the position to Keera out of regard for his wife's feelings?"
Christina said, "It seems like it. Keera is a close friend to Mary, and ever since my brother married Mary, he doesn't consider , his sister, important anymore..."
Her eyes beca red, and this ti it wasn't an act; she genuinely felt aggrieved.
Christina looked at Jas. "Would you do the sa, Jas?"
Jas said, "How could I possibly do that?! No matter what, our family has no daughter, and although you and Victoria were adopted, you're the sa as if you were my real sisters! I've always treated you like one! Don't underestimate yourself!"
Tears brimd in Christina's eyes, and she felt even more moved, "Jas, before Mary married Ellis, there were indeed so misunderstandings between us. She doesn't like , and I understand that. Now that she's the hostess of the house, it's okay for to suffer so grievances, but Mary and Keera shouldn't take it out on the children..."
Jas frowned. "You can't suffer grievances either! The daughter of the Olsen family should be cherished like a gem. Don't worry about this matter, I'll help you!"
He stood up. "Alright, it's late today, and Bobby isn't feeling well, you all should get so rest."
He patted Christina on the shoulder. "Don't worry. The daughter of the Olsen family cannot be mistreated, even the adopted ones!"
Leaving these words, he headed straight out the door.
After he left, Christina quietly sighed with relief.
Given Uncle Olsen's attitude, it seed he wouldn't acknowledge Keera as his daughter. In that case, she'd wait for Jas to take revenge for her!
With that thought, she went upstairs.
Jas exited the house and drove ho.
On the way, his assistant said, "Miss Olsen has always been spoiled. I think her conflict with the lady of the house is quite intense. Mr. Jas, are you sure you want to get involved?"
Jas scoffed. "She's my sister; of course, I'll get involved!"
The assistant couldn't help but say, "But I see Mr. Ellis is very attentive to his wife. He might not support you."
Jas's brows knitted together.
Soon, he arrived ho. Seeing the light in the study on the second floor where his uncle was, he smiled. "If I can't handle my elder brother, I'll go to my uncle!"
