Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 310 Touched by Noah

Noah paced anxiously outside the ER, his small frame showing signs of fatigue.

"Hungry?" Micah's grandfather offered him a burger and a juice box. "I've got a nutritious vegetarian meal on the way, but it might take a while. Have these to tide you over." "No, thank you," Noah replied.

His stomach growled loudly at the sight of the burger, and his cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Of course he was hungry. Usually, he'd have a snack when he got home at 3:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:00 p.m. But today had been different-no afternoon snack, no dinner, not even a sip of water. Now, feeling utterly drained, his pale face and chapped lips only seemed to brighten when he instinctively licked them for moisture.

"Eat up," Micah's grandfather said, splitting the burger in half and handing one piece to the boy. "I can't finish this whole burger by myself. Consider it a favor to an old man. Your teachers must have taught you about the joy of helping others!"

"Sure," Noah accepted the burger half-heartedly, saying with mock arrogance, "Elderly folks like you should eat less of this stuff. It's hard to digest."

"You got it." Micah's grandfather chuckled. "Dig in."

"You go ahead. I gotta go check on my sister."

Noah's gaze lingered on the burger, swallowing with evident desire, yet not taking a bite. He carefully held onto it as he walked towards the elevator. Moved by curiosity, Micah's grandfather followed Noah silently...

Arriving at the hospital room downstairs, Noah first approached a nurse and requested a disposable cup. After obtaining it, he filled it with warm water. Carrying the cup and the burger, he entered the room to replace Mia asleep in her bed, accompanied by a nurse sitting beside her.

"Mia!" Noah whispered her name gently, but Mia didn't wake, still deep in slumber.

Not wanting to disturb her, Noah gave the warm water and the burger to the nurse, softly requesting, "Nurse, when my sister wakes up, could you please feed her?"

From outside the door, Micah's grandfather watched this scene, deeply touched by the boy's kind gesture to bring the burger down for his sister.

"Is this for your sister?" the nurse asked, taking the items with curiosity. "Such a caring little guy, and you're only what? Three years old? Taking care of your sister like that, you're so good!"

"I'm the big brother. It's my job to look after my siblings," Noah said proudly, puffing up his chest. "Nurse, how's my sister doing? Is it serious?"

"Not at all!" The nurse knelt down, speaking tenderly, "Don't worry, your sister will be fine. She's just got a case of tonsillitis. After her medication, some rest, and plenty of fluids, she'll recover quickly."

"My mom says that for tonsillitis, you should eat bland foods, drink lots of water, and have vegetable soup..." Noah glanced at Mia, feeling guilty. "but I can't reach my mom or Brenda right now, and I've got no money to buy soup. She hasn't eaten dinner and must be hungry."

The nurse's eyes glistened with emotion as she steadied Noah's shoulders. "Don't worry, little man, I'll take good care of your sister. I can order some soup for delivery, and when she wakes up, I'll make sure she eats."

"Thank you," Noah said, bowing gratefully to the nurse. Then he pulled a storybook out of his backpack and handed it to her. "Keep this as collateral, and when my mom gets here, she'll pay you back for the soup." Micah's grandfather's eyes watered, his hand trembling slightly on his cane.

Noah had touched the softest part of his heart. He never would have imagined that a three-year-old could be so responsible and grateful. It was simply remarkable!

"No need..." the nurse hastily declined.

"Please take it!" Noah insisted firmly.

Reluctantly accepting, the nurse quickly passed the half-eaten burger by her side to him. "Your sister can't have the burger and juice. You take it; you probably haven't eaten tonight, right?"

"Yeah..." Noah took the burger, his throat tightening as he swallowed. But instead of eating, he carefully wrapped it back up and placed it in his backpack. "I'll save it for Nathan, for when he wakes up."
