As soon as Nathan and Penny left, a group of men in black suits with name tags rushed in and took Herman away.
Herman is doomed for sure.
Everyone at the scene had the same thoughts.
Russell and the rest believed that Herman had brought this on himself.
His attitude is endangering. Sooner or later, he's going to jeopardize himself even if he did not meet the General.
Once Nathan and Penny got in the BMW and about to tell Frida to head home, Penny's phone rang.
It was an incoming call from the school. Penny's face darkened, and tears began to fall from her cheeks before she bawled, "I'm coming now!"
Nathan had a hunch that something was not right and asked, "What's wrong?" "Honey, the school has been hit with food poisoning, and our daughter is one of the victims. They have all been sent to the emergency room in People's Hospital..."
What?
Nathan was startled, and his eyes flew wide open.
"Head to the People's Hospital now!"
"Yes, sir!"
Frida sped all the way to the hospital in a flash.
It was supposed to be a half an hour drive, but it only took Frida ten minutes to reach the hospital.
At the hospital, parents were pacing up and down in front of the emergency unit.
It had been P.E for Class 1, Grade 1 in the last period. However, the teacher had decided to bring them outside the school to do some cleaning.
This kind of activity could not only train students physically but could also help beautify the streets. The teacher was killing two birds with one stone!
However, an incident had happened this time around.
On their way back to the class, a street vendor had been selling sugar-coated haws to Queenie.
The little girl had not been able to resist and bought one.
