118. Can’t Breathe
It’s about your grandfather and that big guy,” Louis whispered.
Frank’s smile suddenly faded. A bad feeling had crept out of his heart. “What’s wrong with
them?”
After watching the door close tightly, Louis raised his hand next to his mouth. “I overheard
them earlier. Your grandfather asked the big guy to poison someone, I think it’s Mommy.”
Frank’s heart immediately beat faster. His eyes trembled as he watched Louis. “You heard
that? Then…, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, just a little disappointed. But I’m thankful Emily doesn’t know. Otherwise, she
could get sick again. The Kind Grandfather turned out to be very evil. He’s like the witch
who gave Snow White the poisoned apple.”
“Have you told anyone?” Frank held Louis’ uninjured arm. His eyes widened in alarm.
“I don’t want to tell Mommy or Grandma. They can be afraid and worried. So, I’m just
letting you know.”
A faint sigh escaped Frank’s mouth. Between his worries, there admiration for the genius
toddler. “Thank you, Buddy. I will incre the security in this house.”
“By the way, I know who was assigned to poison Mommy,” the toddle admitted innocently.
“Who?”
Once again, he leaned closer to Frank’s ear. “The servant who gave Mommy tea. We’re
lucky I could stop her in time. The tea spilled and Mommy didn’t drink it.”

Frank’s eyes couldn’t open any wider. With an astonished look, he whispered, “Well done,
Hero! You are really amazing. Now, will you help me? Make sure Mommy doesn’t eat
anything suspicious.”
“Aye, Captain!” Louis put four fingers next to his eyebrows. After getting a reassuring nod
and a rub on the back, he went to Emily’s room. His determination to look after Kara was
firm. He was even willing not to sleep that day.
When dinner time arrived, they all gathered in the dining room. Thanks. to Louis, Emily’s
sadness was no longer a big deal. She did not mind to leave her bedroom and meet Frank.

“Louis, do you like this menu?”

“Yeah! Everything looks cool and delicious. I’m sure Emily is happy too.”
Frank smiled slightly and nodded. Secretly, he glanced at the little girl. He didn’t dare
disturb her.
“Please bring some dessert.”
In an instant, the servants came in, replacing the dirty plates with new ones. Louis’ eyes
sparkled when he saw the car-shaped pudding in front of him. He was also happy to see
that Emily was interested in the flower-shaped pudding on her own plate. However, when
he saw the woman serving Kara, his lips curved downwards.
“What shape is Mommy’s pudding?” Louis asked, occasionally glancing at Frank. He
wondered why Frank was acting normal. Did the CEO not believe his report?
“Star shape. What is it, Little Bee?”
Louis’ lips pursed. He looked at Susan and Frank’s plates. Their puddings were also shaped
like flowers and cars, none of which were

“Why does Mommy’s pudding different from ours? That’s not cool.”
Kara raised an eyebrow. “Do you want a star shape?”
“No. I want Mommy to get the same shape, either a flower or a car. Just give that pudding
to her.” Louis pointed his finger.
The young servant gasped. While waving her hand, she shook her head stiffly. “No, Young
Master. I couldn’t possibly dare.”
Frank secretly smiled. He saluted the toddler’s mindset. “There’s no need to be shy. Louis
was kind enough to give it to you. Other servants can’t even have it. Please accept his
kindness.”
Innocently, Kara handed her plate to the servant. “It’s okay. It’s just a pudding. I can take
another one.”
While devouring his pudding, Louis noticed how the servant accepted the offer with
trembling hands. “I will eat it in the kitchen.”
“Why not just here? You don’t appreciate my gift?” Louis said with his mouth full.
Kara looked at her son sharply. However, before she had time to reprimand him, Frank had
already said, “Please don’t offend my son Sit down and enjoy the pudding.”
Everyone suddenly wondered. They just realized that the CEO’s
movements and tone of voice were unusual.
Meanwhile, the servant was shaking. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead. When she could
no longer bear the pressure inside herself, she put the plate on the table and dropped her
knees to the floor.
“Please forgive me, Sir. I have no bad intentions towards you at all, but I have to. If I don’t
put poison in her food, my family will be in danger.”

Kara gaped wordlessly. Her eyes trembled as she scanned the servant’s panicked face.
“What did you say? You want to poison me?”
The servant glanced at Frank timidly. Too afraid to answer Kara’s question, she looked
down. “Please forgive me. I still have to support my mother and younger siblings. If I go to
prison, I-”
“Jeremy!” Frank’s voice made the waiter at a loss for words. “Handle.

The assistant nodded. With the help of two bodyguards, he led the young woman out.
“No! Please forgive me! Sir…. Young Master Harper …!”
While the screams grew shriller and fainter, everyone stared at the star pudding on the
table, except for Louis. Instead, he devoured the last piece of his pudding carelessly.
“This pudding is poisonous?” Kara muttered, hoarsely.
Frank smiled wryly and waved two fingers. Without further ado, a guard took the plate
away.
“Then, what about the food earlier? We’ve eaten a lot. Is there poison in it?” Susan sighed
with round eyes. “Louis! Stop eating your pudding!”
Intertwining his fingers on the table, Frank straightened his back. You don’t need to panic,
Mrs. Martin. Our appetizers and main dishes are guaranteed. I have prepared a tester to
try it first.”
“Then these puddings…. Louis, stop eating!”
“It’s okay, Grandma. It’s safe. They just want to poison Mommy. They didn’t-.”
Suddenly, Louis dropped the spoon and grabbed his neck. His mouth. was agape, his eyes
were red, and his head was moving back and
“Oh my God, Louis!” Kara got up from the chair and approached her
son.
Frank who was sitting in the main seat arrived faster. He knelt down, holding one of the
toddler’s arms. However, instead of giving Louis an antidote or other medical assistance,
he massaged the back of his neck. “Spit it out!”
Susan, who was sitting next to Louis, could only watch with bated breath, just like the
others. Emily even started pouting, hanging off the edge of the chair. She didn’t know
whether to come over or watch from afar.
