NovelAppChapter 706 Stomachache
Lucas placed the popcorn bucket aside and suddenly bent over, clutching his stomach. His cute face.
wrinkled in discomfort.
Huston noticed the child’s uneasiness and furrowed his brow. “What’s wrong? Tell me where it hurts.”
“My… my stomach hurts.” Lucas was in so much pain that he struggled to speak.
“Did you suddenly feel pain?”
“Yes.”
Huston quickly signaled the staff to the entrance to stop the film, turned on the lights, and noticed that
the child’s face had turned pale. As an inexperienced new dad, he felt a bit helpless in this situation,
“Tell me where it hurts.”
“Here,” Lucas pointed to his own stomach, gasping from the pain.
Seeing that something was not right, Kevin

stopped him.
“He’s in a lot of pain, don’t touch him,” Huston instructed.
Kevin knew that Huston was concerned, so he patiently explained, “I was just conducting at preliminary
examination.”
“Try a different way,” Huston insisted.
Kevin sighed but refrained from continuing. He simply comforted Lucas, “Lucas, be a good boy. Take
slow, shallow breaths. I will take you to the hospital
now.”
No one anticipated this sudden turn of events. Startled, Marcellus and Matt accompanied them to the
Lane’s Hospital.
With Kevin present, they naturally bypassed the
queue.
Blood tests and other examinations were done on the spot. Fortunately, there was nothing
serious. Lucas had some indigestion due to overeating in the morning and consuming too much
popcorn, which caused stomach spasms.
Kevin prescribed digestive medication and administered an intravenous injection to soothe the
stomach. That settled the issue.
Unable to bear the sight of the cold needle piercing through Lucas’s tender hand, Huston averted his
gaze, feeling his heart ache with every beat.
Marcellus felt guilty as he looked at Lucas lying on the hospital bed, “It’s all my fault for giving you
popcorn.”
Covering himself with the blanket, Lucas shook his head, “I ate too much myself. Mommy told me to
eat less.”
Evelyn had previously scolded him for eating too many snacks, and she wasn’t here today, and Huston
indulged him without control.
Looking at them by the bedside, Kevin reassured them, “You can all go back now. Huston and I are

Matt and Marcellus couldn’t be of much help in this situation. With more people around, it might make
Lucas more anxious. After a few words of advice, the two of them left, leaving only the three of the
others in the quiet hospital room.
Kevin patted Huston’s shoulder and whispered to him near the door, “Should we notify Evelyn?”
After all, she was the child’s mother, and it wouldn’t be good if she found out from Lucas instead. It
might convey a different meaning.
Thinking of Evelyn, Huston felt unsure, “If I tell her now, she’ll probably kill me.”
“It’s not that serious. It’s just a minor issue,” Kevin reassured him in a calm tone, as he had become
accustomed to worrying about the two of them. “It’s better for you to tell her proactively than for her to
find out passively. If needed, I can talk to Evelyn and calm her down.”
Although Huston didn’t want her to know, he knew
avoid it. Eventually, she would find out,
and it would lead to even more misunderstandings. It would be better to follow Kevin’s advice and tell
her now.
Feeling defeated after spending just one day with Lucas and already ending up in the hospital, Huston
wore a gloomy expression as he took out his phone and found the familiar contact. He stared at it
for nearly half a minute before finally dialing the number.
