278 Obedient Little Treasure (1/2)

Lu Family’s Old Residence.

Little Treasure sat unmoving in front of the easel, the horizon of the sunset to his side. His small silhouette seemed especially lonely and pitiful.

”Little Treasure, come have dinner now! Grandma made your favourite sweet and sour mandarin fish! Little Treasure...Little Treasure?”

After Mother Lu called out to him for about five or six times, Little Treasure finally reacted.

He started packing up his easel without saying anything, and looked a few more times towards the direction he had been staring at for the entire afternoon before entering the house obediently.

The dining table was filled with various kinds of both Chinese and Western dishes.

”Little Treasure, eat more, okay? These are all your favourites!”

”Yes, eat more! Come, let grandpa feed you.”

Little Treasure looked at the dishes stiffly, and then picked up his chopsticks to get the nearest dish before starting to eat with his headbowed down. He did not need any coaxing.

Seeing Little Treasure this obedient, the Lu parents were relieved.

Father Lu gave his wife a look and said, ”See, I told you it will be okay!”

That night, Little Treasure continued to eat a lot, even more than usual, in fact. It seemed like he had a really enormous appetite.

Three calm days passed and nothing out of the blue happened. Father Lu was very happy and Mother Lu finally felt assured again.

Yet, that night itself…

The sound of the maid’s screams from Little Treasure’s room suddenly pierced the night.

”Master! Madam! Something’s wrong! Little master he...quickly come and see!”

”What are you saying? What happened?”

Both of them rushed over.

When they reached the room, they saw Little Treasure bending forward and vomiting the dinner he had had all over the floor. He even started retching bile.

Mother Lu hurriedly patted him on his back and exclaimed, ”Ah! Little Treasure! Little Treasure, what’s wrong? Why are you vomiting so much?!”
