My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ - Chapter 374
Chapter 373
At that moment, the Murphy family was in total disarray, and everyone rushed over to Bobby immediately.
….
Christina was splattered with filth across her face, which unsettled her completely, but because it was from her son, she could bear the extreme 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 smell 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 medical 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 calmed 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 immediately said, “I’ll ask Sara to make you something 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 me have any and even made me stand outside as a punishment. They still wouldn’t give me any chips when I cried. The teacher is so mean; 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 punishment?”
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 medical 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 some reason, remembered Keera’s words, “…If he starts vomiting, you must take it seriously.”
This thought barely crossed her mind before Christina shook her head immediately, 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 came 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, James Olsen standing there.
James 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 department.
Ellis often smiled, but he looked like a demon king causing chaos in the world.
James, 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 immediately welled up with tears.
James came today to deliver an invitation to the Murphy family. For some 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.
James immediately 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 came home and threw up!”
Upon hearing this, James was startled. “Isn’t the director of the kindergarten someone 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.”
James frowned. “Who’s the new director?”
“Keira South.”
James had some impression of that name; after all, at Ellis’s wedding, she was the bridesmaid. Led on by Christina’s hints, he immediately misunderstood. “Are you saying Ellis gave the position to Keira out of regard for his wife’s feelings?”
Christina said, “It seems like it. Keira is a close friend to Mary, and ever since my brother married Mary, he doesn’t consider me, his sister, important anymore…”
Her eyes became red, and this time it wasn’t an act; she genuinely felt aggrieved.
Christina looked at James. “Would you do the same, James?”
James 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 same as if you were my real sisters! I’ve always treated you like one! Don’t underestimate yourself!”
Tears brimmed in Christina’s eyes, and she felt even more moved. “James, before Mary married Ellis, there were indeed some misunderstandings between us. She doesn’t like me, and I understand that. Now that she’s the hostess of the house, it’s okay for me to suffer some grievances, but Mary and Keira shouldn’t take it out on the children…”
James 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 some 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 seemed he wouldn’t acknowledge Keira as his daughter. In that case, she’d wait for James to take revenge for her!
With that thought, she went upstairs.
James exited the house and drove home. 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. James, are you sure you want to get involved?”
James 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.”
James’s brows knitted together.
Soon, he arrived home. 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!”
