Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Eating Wild Fruit
"Walk slowly, you three brothers, and be careful," Mengmeng called out from behind, worried.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to walk faster, but she simply couldn’t quicken her pace.
Erbao turned his head to look at her and then burst out laughing, "Mama, are you a turtle?"
Mengmeng was immediately embarrassed.
Did he really have to talk about his own mother like that?
"You little rascal!" Gu Zhihan frowned and then strode forward, "I’m going to teach him a lesson for you."
"Don’t..." Mengmeng started to say it wasn’t necessary, but Gu Zhihan was already walking towards the children.
Seeing this, Luo Mengmeng hurriedly quickened her steps to catch up, fearing Gu Zhihan might be too harsh when he spoke.
But when she reached the father and sons, she saw that each of their faces was extremely serious.
It was as though something major had happened.
"What’s going on?" Luo Mengmeng asked hesitantly.
Erbao replied shakily, "Xiao, Xiao, Xiaobao ate the wild fruit from that tree, those fruits... I’ve seen on TV, they’re poisonous."
Xiaobao, who was walking in the front, ate the fruits without them noticing and preventing him in time.
In fact, he had already eaten several pieces before they caught up with him.
"What!?" Upon hearing what had happened, Luo Mengmeng was startled and quickly looked up at the fruit in the tree.
Indeed, that fruit was a poisonous fruit.
Although the toxicity was not very high, and adults would be generally fine after eating it as their bodies could detoxify naturally in a day or two, Xiaobao was different.
Setting aside the fact that he was already ill, what’s more important was that he was just a three-year-old child. Even a small amount of toxin could potentially harm his health.
"Xiaobao, how can you be so careless, how could you eat things recklessly!" Mengmeng knelt in front of him, tears rolling down her face as she spoke.
Xiaobao hadn’t thought it was a big deal, assuming that the fruits on the mountain were there for passersby to eat at will, but seeing Mengmeng crying her eyes out made him panic, "Mom, don’t cry, I’m fine. I probably haven’t been poisoned, I don’t feel anything wrong right now."
As he spoke, he extended his soft little hand to wipe her tears.
"No, I must take you to the hospital for a check-up," Mengmeng said, picking him up and heading down the mountain.
As a medical student herself, she knew well that some poisons don’t necessarily react immediately, but if they did react later, it might be too late to save him.
"Don’t worry, I’ve already called an ambulance, Xiaobao will be fine," Gu Zhihan followed quickly and took Xiaobao from her arms, "Let me carry him, you’ll get tired."
Luo Meng nodded, sobbing, and hurried down the mountain.
By the time they got to the foot of the mountain, the ambulance had just arrived at the entrance of the scenic area.
Mengmeng and Gu Zhihan quickly carried Xiaobao into the ambulance, with Dabao and Erbao closely following.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor immediately took Xiaobao’s blood for various tests, but the results showed no trace of the poisonous fruit’s toxin in his system.
"Your baby is very healthy," the doctor handed the medical report to Mengmeng and Gu Zhihan.
Mengmeng quickly took the report and glanced over it, confirming that there was indeed no poison.
Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, Xiaobao, you mustn’t eat things recklessly again, do you hear me?"
