I haven't gone back to see my mother these days. Judging from her condition, she should be
recovering well.
When I enter the house, she is sitting there trimming vegetables for cooking.
"Mom, I'm back. Where's Frank? Where did he go?"
I walk in and sit down opposite my mother.
I remember Mom saying on the phone that Frank is on vacation today. Why is he not here?
"He went to get the cake. I said there's no need to waste money on the cake, but he told me that the
cake was ordered yesterday. So he went out to get it."
Although mom is complaining, the happiness in her tone is obvious.
Perhaps Mom was right to let Sabina go. Otherwise, this family would not be so peaceful now.
Frank returns very soon with a beautiful cream cake.
The cake is small, but it's enough for the three of us.
Mom is the birthday girl today, and I don't want her to work too much, so I push her to the side and I do
the cooking.
Very quickly, the dishes are cooked and served.
Frank puts the cake on the table and puts a candle in it. After singing a birthday song for mom, he asks
mom to make a wish.
"I'm old. There is no need to do this"
Mom smiles embarrassedly and closes her eyes to make a wish.
I ask her what her wish is, but she refuses to tell us.
Frank teases, "Mom must wish that I can find a wife quickly, so that she can have a grandson."
Mom pats him on the head and glares at him, "It's good that you know about it!"
I am very happy to see the scene.
Frank cuts the cake into three pieces for us. I look at the thick cream on it and don't have any appetite.
I prefer this chicken to the cake.
"I'll eat it later."
As I say that, I reach out to pick up the dishes.
Mom and Frank are chatting as they are eating the cake. Just as they take several mouthfuls of the
cake, their faces turn awful.
They fall to the ground. They are having convulsion and their pupils are dilated. They also breathe with
difficulty.
What's going on? They just were eating the cake. Why would they become like this all of a sudden?
"Mom, Frank, what's wrong with you?" I was so anxious that I want to pull them up, but I don't dare to
touch them at all.
I immediately make an emergency call. Looking at my mother and younger brother who were gradually
falling in a faint, I only feel that the world come to a stop.
The house is very close to the hospital and the ambulance arrives in two minutes.
I follow them into the ambulance. On the way to the hospital, the doctors do the first-aid measures.
When they enter the hospital, they are still breathing.
Although I don't know what's going on, I can feel that their situation is not optimistic.
Bad things happened to my family one after another. I don't think I can take it anymore.
I stand outside the ward and wait anxiously.
The longer I wait, the more anxious I am.
I strongly hope that my mom and brother will be fine. I can't lose another relative.
I am so worried and disturbed. I need someone's shoulder too much.
Frances appears in front of me now.
I don't know how he got the news, but the moment I see him, I feel that the string in my mind, which
has been tense for a long time, finally breaks.
I run towards him and powerlessly lean against his shoulder. I can't stop shedding tears.
"Frances, what should we do? Will anything bad happen to Mom and Frank? What should I do If
something happens to them?"
"Don't be foolish. I'll be with you all the time." He pats me on the back and hugs me in his arms.
His words don't reassure me.
But with him by my side, I won't be so panicking.
But I can't do anything but wait.
Every minute and every second is hard for me.
After a long wait, the door to the operating room finally opens.
I hurriedly stand up and run towards the doctor.
"Doctor, how are they? How are my brother and mother?"
"Fortunately, you sent them to the hospital for emergency treatment in time. And the drug dosage they
took was not fatal. Their lives are out of danger. Now, both of them are fine."
What the doctor says reassures me.
The keywords that Frances captures are obviously different from mine.
Frances asks the doctor, "What drug poisoning is it?"
"Potassium cyanide."
