Chapter 110
“Little Master has always had a bad stomach from young, so how could you let him eat something bad? Miss Hunter, how could you be so irresponsible? How am I going to explain this to Young Master Alexander?”
Upon facing the butler’s criticism, Courtney had no other excuse as she also felt frustrated. “Don’t worry, I’ll apologize to President Duncan since it is my mistake.”
As the butler saw how devastated she looked, he did not know what else to say. Instead, he let out a huge sigh before standing aside to call Alexander.
After the check in the emergency room, the doctor had arranged for Jordan to stay in the hospital for further observation. As for the cause behind his stomach ache, they did not know whether it was because he ate something bad or the result of something else as they still needed to wait for the laboratory results. However, as soon as Jordan was injected with medications, his face looked better as he fell asleep.
Courtney had been in the hospital all along beside him, but when she saw him sleeping, her heart was filled with guilt. I can’t believe something like this happened during my limited time with him. I guess I can’t count myself as a competent mother after all. If he realizes that I’m his biological mother someday in the future, I bet he will blame me for this.
She did not sleep for the whole night and before dawn the next day, she returned home to prepare breakfast for him. After instructing. Tina to have her meal at home, she brought a lunch box to the hospital.
The moment she arrived at the door of the ward, she heard a familiar voice coming from inside. As she pushed the door open, her movements suddenly halted while her hands tightened instinctively.
“As soon as I heard that Jordan was in the hospital, I immediately set aside my business and rushed over here. Also, I specially brought breakfast for him. I watched my maid make it herself, so I promise that it is completely clean.” Britney’s gentle voice almnet sent goosebumps down everyone’s skin.
Upon hearing her words, Alexander calmly replied, “Thank you.”
“Here, Jordan. Let me feed you.”
From the door, Courtney could clearly see two figures sitting beside the bed. It was Alexander and Britney sitting on each of Jordan’s side as she held a bowl of porridge in her hands to carefully feed him.
After standing at the door for a while, Courtney felt hollow in her heart, so she turned and left moments later.
In the ward, Jordan reluctantly took two sips of porridge before he shook his head.
Then, Britney glanced at Alexander and said, “I think his stomach still isn’t feeling well. Just put that aside. Later on, if you’re hungry, you can just let me know and I’ll feed you.”
Jordan shrugged his shoulders because he was still a little frightened of her while he stretched one of his hands from the blanket to tug on Alexander’s sleeve.
Alexander held his hand and asked, “What is it? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?”
Jordan shook his head before he stared at the door of the ward.
“She isn’t here.” Alexander knew what his son thought, so he furrowed his brows and gave a cold answer.
They were still unsure whether Jordan’s situation was caused by food poisoning, but when Alexander arrived at the hospital in the morning, he only noticed his son asleep with an exhausted face in his bed alone. He immediately felt a little annoyed when he realized that no one was accompanying his son. Did she treat him so casually because he isn’t her own son? If it were her daughter lying on the hospital bed, I’m afraid that she would have stayed by her side all the time. How could she leave such a young kid alone in the hospital?
Just as he thought about it, he heard Britney’s voice beside him. “I heard that Courtney brought him to have

dinner at a night market last night. That place is filled with all sorts of gutter oil and it’s not hygienic at all. How could she bring him to eat at a place like that?”
Alexander had already heard about the incident from the butler beforehand, but he was even more furious when she mentioned it again. Suddenly, his eyes were obviously starting to look unpleasant.
