HONEY, Love Me One More Time novel Chapter 102

Estelle picked up Yvonne and found that Yvonne was burning hot all over. She called Yvonne’s name or patted her little hands and face, but Yvonne didn’t react.
“Luke, how much did Yvonne drink?”
Luke’s face was pale and scared out of his wits. “I prepared half a bottle of water for her. She almost drank all of them.”
Without hesitation, Estelle rushed out with Yvonne in her arms, followed by Cristofer and Luke. 
Then the three of them headed to the hospital in a hurry.

“The baby suffers from alcohol poisoning and needs gastric lavage,” the doctor said. “But she is too young, and gastric lavage will be harmful to her health and may cause permanent damage to her stomach.”
Hearing this, Estelle felt heartache, and tears streamed down her face. 
“Is there any other way to save her?” she asked.
“She’s too young to metabolize so much alcohol. At present, the only way to save her is to give her gastric lavage. Fortunately, you sent her here in time. If you were late, I’m afraid she would have been dead.”
Wiping her tears, Estelle gritted her teeth and made a decision. “I see. Then please give her gastric lavage as soon as possible.”
‘If Yvonne doesn’t have gastric lavage, she will die. Although having a gastric lavage is harmful to her stomach, at least it can save her life.’ 
At this moment, Estelle wishes she could kill Gretchen.
‘Due to Gretchen and her mother, Yohan suffered from septicemia when he was born. This time, they actually wanted to kill Yvonne. They’ve gone too far!’
‘When Yvonne was born, she was smaller and weaker than the other babies. She has just gained a little weight but now needs to have gastric lavage.’
Thinking of this, Estelle clenched her chest and felt extremely painful, almost fainting.
Cristofer came forward and held her tightly in his arms when she was about to fall to the ground.
Estelle buried her face in his neck and said in a muffled voice, “Cristofer, you bastard!”
“I will find out the truth and give you an explanation,” Cristofer said, “I promise.”
“What’s the point of your promise? You’ve made too many promises. You promised in front of York and Melody that you would marry Gretchen. Did you keep your promise? Cristofer, why do you have to take Yvonne away from me? I’m her mother. Why don’t you let me take care of her?” 
“I asked you to be wary of Gretchen, but you just wouldn’t listen. So even if she kills Yvonne one day, you will pretend that nothing has happened and forgive Gretchen just like you did after knowing that Gretchen was the murderer who killed Mrs. Moorsum, right?”
Cristofer’ face darkened when he heard this. 
“Estelle, I know you hate me. Let’s save Yvonne first, shall we? I said I would give you an explanation. I won’t go back on my words.”
“I don’t need any explanation! I want my daughter to be fine!” Estelle shouted hysterically.
“Are you the baby’s parents? Please sign here. I’ll arrange a gastric lavage for her as soon as possible,” the doctor said.
Estelle tried to break free from Cristofer’ arms, but Cristofer didn’t let go of her.
“Cristofer, let go of me. Yvonne is in danger!” 
However, Cristofer still held her tightly in his arms. 
“I’ll sign it.” With a calm look, he took the pen and the informed consent from the doctor and signed his name. 
Then he handed them to the doctor and said, “Thank you.”
After hesitating momentarily, the doctor asked, “I think you’d better call the police. According to your conversation just now, the baby drinking spirit by mistake seems not to be an accident. Did someone deliberately feed her the spirit? Could it be the maid in your family?”
“I don’t know. You’re right. I should call the police,” Cristofer said and then called the police.
He didn’t suspect Luke, but only with the help of the police could he find out the truth as soon as possible.
Soon, the police arrived and took a statement from Luke。
“I really don’t know why the water in the feeding bottle turned into spirit. I never drink, and there is no wine at my home at all. Besides, even if there was spirit left before, I wouldn’t be so confused that I couldn’t distinguish between water and spirit.”
Leaning against the wall with his arms folded, Cristofer listened to the conversation between the police and Luke seriously.
‘Luke didn’t seem to be lying. Besides, he has been working in the Hans family for so many years and is grateful to our family. He will never do anything to hurt Yvonne. The person who harmed Yvonne must be someone else.’
“Have you met anyone suspicious this afternoon?” a policeman asked.
“Someone suspicious... No.” Luke shook his head and said after recalling what happened in the afternoon.
Cristofer then showed him a picture of Gretchen and Melody taken at Melody’s birthday party before and said, “Uncle Luke, have you seen these two people this afternoon?”
Luke squinted his eyes and looked closely at the photo for a while. Then he shook his head again and said, “No, I haven’t.”
“Are you sure?”
“Mr. Hans, I really have never seen them. In the afternoon, when I played with Yvonne in the garden, I didn’t see anyone else,” Luke said.
“According to your statement, you are the only one who touched the feeding bottle,” the policeman said. 
Luke lowered his head and shook his head in pain as he said, “I didn’t do that. I love Yvonne dearly. How is it possible that I hurt her?”
Suddenly, he thought of something and said, “Sir, I suddenly remembered that I heard a loud noise from the villa when I was in the garden this afternoon. I thought something heavy had fallen off the shelf, so I entered the villa. I came back to the garden in about a minute. How is it possible? I unscrewed the bottle cap, poured the water out of it, and then filled the spirit in such a short time?”
Luke’s words made sense. The mouth of the feeding bottle was narrow. It was indeed impossible for one to pour so much spirit into it in a minute.
Hearing this, the police could only say, “We still need some time to investigate this matter. Mr. Hans, we will contact you if there are any updates.”
With a darkened face, Cristofer asked in a low voice, “Could it be that the culprit didn’t change the liquid but directly changed a feeding bottle?”
Hearing this, both Luke and the police were stunned.
It was much easier to change the bottle than the liquid, which could be done within one minute.
“Sir, please collect the fingerprints on the feeding bottle. Then everything will be clear,” Cristofer said.
