Chapter 262: Not Eating
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Fortunately, the doctor’s examination showed that Ruby Cromwell was fine. She had fainted due to low blood sugar.
“What’s going on? How many days has she not been eating? She looks so weak.”
The doctor in the white coat frowned and said in a serious tone, “The child is growing up right now. She has consumed a lot of physical and mental energy. She needs to keep up with the nutrition.”
“She didn’t eat? This… Lauren, how was Ruby’s lunch at school?”
“Ruby ate very little. She kept saying that she couldn’t eat much,” said Lauren Torres.
She was embarrassed to say that Ruby Cromwell would always give the meat on her plate to her.
Lauren Torres had thought that Ruby Cromwell was really full, so she didn’t eat.
As the class teacher of the second senior class, Carina Bailey felt a little guilty that she didn’t notice Ruby Cromwell’s problems in time.
“Doctor, other than low blood sugar, is there anything else?”
“Not at the moment. The fainting this time was caused by low blood sugar. Just give her some glucose and have a good rest.”
“That’s good.”
The nurse was at the side, preparing to give Ruby Cromwell an IV drip.
Lauren Torres looked at Ruby Cromwell who was lying on the bed. The zipper of her jacket had been unzipped because the doctor had wanted to check on her earlier.
She tugged at Carina Bailey’s hand.
“Miss Bailey, you… you take a look at Ruby’s arm.”
Carina Bailey lowered her head and looked at Lauren Torres with a puzzle.
“Ruby’s arm? What happened to her arm?”
Lauren Torres pursed her lips and said, “I found a lot of wounds on Ruby’s arm these two days.”
“Wounds?”
Lauren Torres frowned and walked to the bedside. The doctor also followed closely behind.
“Was it caused by other children?”
Lauren Torres shook her head. “No. Every time Ruby came from her home in the morning, I saw a wound on her arm.”
“I was with Ruby all the time during class. The other children didn’t touch her.”
The school was very serious about wounds on the children.
The doctor and Carina Bailey quickly took off Ruby Cromwell’s jacket and found that there were indeed many wounds on her arm.
The wounds were big and small, deep and shallow. It was very shocking.
“How can this be? Lauren, you are usually close to Ruby. Do you know how these wounds came about? Did Ruby tell you?”
“No, Ruby didn’t tell me.”
Lauren Torres hesitated for a while and told Carina Bailey about Ruby Cromwell’s chocolate allergy incident.
“So you’re saying that Ruby’s mother clearly knew that she was allergic to chocolate, yet she still wanted Ruby to eat chocolate?”
At this moment, the doctor and nurse were disinfecting and nursing Ruby Cromwell’s wounds. Carina Bailey shook her head slightly and said, “That’s impossible. Ruby’s mother loves her very much. Why would she do such a thing?”
Lauren Torres shook their head. She was not sure. That’s what Ruby Cromwell said.
Carina Bailey was not as kind and gentle as usual now. She was very serious.
“We can’t simply say anything. We still have to investigate.”
Lauren Torres nodded in agreement.
[System Divine Nine: Host, evil aura appears!]
Lauren Torres immediately closed her eyes to feel it, but the evil aura disappeared instantly.
“Miss Bailey. Is Ruby alright?”
Hearing Susan Harding’s voice, Lauren Torres and Carina Bailey looked up. They saw Susan Harding run over with her hair disheveled, and she was still wearing the slippers that she wore at home.
Her eyes filled with anxiety. Lauren Torres could not bear to suspect that she was the one who caused the wounds on Ruby Cromwell’s body. Perhaps she really was not, Lauren Torres thought to herself
When Ruby Cromwell was sent to the hospital, Carina Bailey had already called Ruby Cromwell’s mother.
“Miss Bailey, how is Ruby?”
Carina Bailey quickly held onto Susan Harding who was tottering.
“Mrs. Cromwell, don’t worry. Ruby is fine now. She just fainted due to low blood sugar. The doctor has already given her glucose. She will wake up very soon,” said Carina Bailey.
“That’s good. Can I go and see her?”
“Of course.” Carina Bailey nodded and brought Susan Harding to the ward.
Ruby Cromwell’s hand was already covered with gauze of various sizes.
Susan Harding walked to the bed and turned to look at Carina Bailey.
“Miss Bailey, what’s the matter with Ruby’s wounds?”
Carina Bailey looked at Susan Harding and asked, “Mrs. Cromwell, you don’t know how these wounds came about, do you?”
Susan Harding shook her head. Her eyes filled with confusion.
“I don’t know!”
As they were worried that it would affect Ruby Cromwell’s rest, a few of them went out to the corridor to talk.
Carina Bailey didn’t want to make a conclusion first, so she began to ask carefully.
“Mrs.. Cromwell, did anything unusual happen to Ruby at home in the past two days?”
