Chapter 2300
Chapter 2300 Coaxed
Nicole parked the car.
Julie had already walked into the French restaurant.
She had not noticed anything wrong yet.
She just felt that it was quiet and elegant, which was decent compared to other high-end restaurants.
“Hello, may I know how many people will be dining today?”
“Two.”
“This way please.”
The waiter guided them to a table behind the divider.
Julie inadvertently saw two familiar people.
Kira knew that one of these two children belonged to Clayton.
Clayton pampered the cute little girl and gave her everything she asked for. He even spoke to her gently and would not raise his voice at her.
This little girl was really cute and tender. She inherited all the advantages of her parents.
She had big eyes and long eyelashes. Her dark eyes were glimmering, and she had two small dimples when he smiled. She looked so sweet and pretty that it made people’s hearts melt.
Clayton had to treat his leg with electromagnetic therapy for 40 minutes to an hour every day. He brought the equipment from abroad and placed it in his room.
He could do it himself without any help.
However, he had delayed treatment for several hours because of Chatty and Fischer. Thus, his face was a little gray, but he still insisted on playing with the two children.
Kira could not bear to watch him suffer, so she volunteered to watch the children.
Clayton pondered for a while and agreed.
“You don’t need to mind them or coax them. Just watch them and make sure they don’t get hurt.”
Kira nodded.
Clayton touched Chatty’s face.
“Wait here for Daddy. Daddy will come back soon.”
Chatty was engrossed by the fountain and was playing with the little goldfish inside. Thus, she readily agreed.
Fischer patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Daddy! I’ll watch her!”
Clayton nodded with a satisfied smile.
Then, he stood up with difficulty. His forehead was dripping with cold sweat as he limped away.
Kira tried to talk to the children, but they were so immersed in their own world that they ignored her.
Kira suddenly had an idea to establish a good relationship with Clayton’s daughter.
For some reason, Kira wanted to get close to everything about Clayton.
“Kids, do you want to go out and play?”
If Clayton saw that she was having a good time with his daughter when he came downstairs, he would not kick her out so soon.
Fischer looked at her seriously.
“Auntie, Daddy won’t let us go out to play. He told you earlier not to coax us!”
Chatty was holding onto the goldfish’s tail and laughing non-stop. She immediately echoed Fischer’s words.
“Yes, Daddy said to be obedient!”
Kira paused. Her eyes flickered when she saw the candy on the table next to her that was for the customers.
She grabbed a handful, took it over, and asked with a smile, “Then, do you want candy?”
Chatty’s attention was immediately attracted.
Fischer gulped and opened his eyes wide.
Kira knew at a glance that she made the right move. Kids this age, especially if they were in a home with a strict upbringing, could not eat candy as they pleased.
She immediately unwrapped a piece of candy and placed it near Chatty’s mouth to tempt her.
“Open your mouth. I won’t tell anyone…”
Chatty blinked her big eyes and tentatively licked the candy with the tip of her tongue. Her eyes lit up instantly.
She quickly stuffed the bite-sized candy into her mouth, which bulged like a little squirrel.
At this moment, someone at the door suddenly ran over.
“What are you feeding her?”
Julie watched in shock.
She did not expect to see the two kids here and thought she was mistaken.
Fischer looked at Julie in surprise. “Aunt Jules?”
Julie’s face was a little cold as she opened Fischer’s mouth.
“You didn’t eat it, right?”
Fischer immediately shook his head.
Julie knelt down to look at Chatty and stretched out her hand. She did not want to scare the girl and said cautiously, “Chatty, be a good girl and spit it out…”
Chatty was reluctant to spit out the candy. She shook her head with puffed cheeks.
Kira looked at Julie and heaved a sigh of relief. When she heard that Fischer called the woman “Aunt Jules”, she assumed that they knew each other.
Kira smiled and said, “It’s just candy.”
Julie glanced at her coldly. Just as she was about to say something, Nicole had already walked over.
“Jules, what’s wrong?”
As soon as Kira saw Nicole, her smile subsided, and she subconsciously took two steps back.
Julie held Chatty’s shoulders.
“That woman just fed her something.”
Kira added, “It’s just candy.”
Nicole glanced at Kira with a glum expression.
Julie frowned. “How can you just feed someone else’s kid candy?
She’s not even three years old! ”
Kira blinked and said innocently, “Don’t all kids love candy?”
Nicole frowned, squatted down, and looked at Chatty.
“Come on, Chatty. Be a good girl and spit it out. The candy will get stuck in your throat.”
Chatty shook her head and took a step back.
Nicole coaxed Chatty for a long time, but Chatty was so stubborn and refused to spit it out.
Nicole also gradually lost her patience.
As soon as Nicole let go of Chatty, Chatty wanted to run away to the other side.
However, there was a lot of water next to the fountain, and the stone pavement was very slippery. Chatty fell as soon as she ran and started to cough violently.
Nicole’s face turned pale. She quickly carried Chatty. “Chatty!”
Julie was anxious. “Call an ambulance! Let’s go to the hospital!” “Chatty…” Fischer was also terrified.
The restaurant suddenly became chaotic.
Nicole could not remain calm. She looked frightened and pale.
Chatty could not cry because she was choking on the candy that was stuck in her throat. She could not spit it out or swallow it.
She tried to cough, and she started to have difficulty breathing. She retched, and her face began to turn purple…
Chatty was overwhelmed by fear as she suffocated.
Nicole turned around in a hurry and shouted in a hoarse voice, “ Get a doctor…”
Julie suddenly thought of something.
“Try the Heimlich maneuver and make her spit it out…”
Nicole immediately nodded and tried to calm herself down first.
She hurriedly put Chatty on the ground and turned her upside down.
Chatty was hunched over, and Nicole pressed her stomach.
Kira, who was next to her, was frightened. She hurriedly asked someone to bring water and handed it over.
“Flush it down with water so she can swallow it. Here…”
Nicole angrily waved away the water that was blocking her sight when she was interrupted.
Kira’s face was gloomy.
Nicole carried the little girl and did abdominal thrusts a few times.
Watching Chatty retching and having difficulty breathing tormented Nicole.
Finally, she heard a “plop” as the light green candy fell into the fountain.
