Ethan noticed that Kevin looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, all wilted. After a long while, Kevin finally spoke in a low voice.
"That fart wasn't me. I was wrongly accused. Do you believe me?"
"I do."
"Do you really believe it?"
Ethan couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha..."
Kevin was a bit annoyed: "What are you laughing at?"
Ethan said while laughing: "I'm laughing at how fragile you are, kid. What's the use of always obsessing over this?"
Ethan paused for a moment, then looked into Kevin's eyes and said earnestly: "Well, to tell you the truth, that fart was actually... mine."
Kevin was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "I can't believe that the person I've always looked down on is actually the one who saved my life at a crucial moment. What's more unexpected is that not only did you save my life, but you are also willing to take this blame for me just to pull me out of the shadow. Anyway, I appreciate your kindness."
Ethan was speechless in his heart: Damn it! What's going on? Am I really so untrustworthy? Last time when I told Teacher Yvonne that I had diarrhea, she didn't believe me. Now I say this fart was mine, and this kid doesn't believe me either.
"This fart was really mine." Ethan emphasized again.
"You don't need to comfort me or take this blame for me." Kevin was so touched that his eyes were a little moist.
"Bu!!!"
A melodious sound rang out, like a misplayed trombone.
"Listen, smell it. I'm not lying to you. It's still the same tone, still the familiar smell." In order to make Kevin believe, Ethan had to let out his last fart.
Kevin was suddenly stunned, as if he had gone stupid. Then he became excited, and his body trembled slightly.
"He did it! He did it! This fart was his!" Kevin pointed at Ethan and shouted loudly. His voice was so loud as if he wanted the whole world to know this. At the same time, a look of relief flashed across his face, and he kept muttering: "The fart wasn't me. I'm finally innocent."
At this time, Ethan was holding his breath and couldn't care less about Kevin's excitement. But Kevin was there, excited and chattering non - stop.
Just then, the door was opened. Ethan was still coughing, but Kevin seemed to have grasped a life - saving straw.
"Dad! Mom! You saw it! This fart was his! He did it!"
When Gavin, Felicia, and Victor saw Kevin like this, they were worried and were about to come forward. But the smell hit them in the face, and they immediately covered their noses and mouths. At the same time, they quickly went to open the window.
"Kevin! Come here! Come and get some fresh air quickly!" Felicia waved to Kevin. She was afraid that Kevin would be poisoned again.
But it was too late. Kevin had already inhaled a lot in the room just now. Now, with a "bang", he fainted again.
"Send him to the hospital immediately!" Gavin was extremely worried when he saw his son like this. He wanted to go over, but the smell was so strong that he couldn't get close at all. They felt that if they got closer, they might suffocate, so they had to look at Ethan.
Ethan felt a bitter smile in his heart. Was this shooting himself in the foot? Helplessly, he had to carry Kevin to the hospital again.
"Why are you so careless? Poisoned again?" Dr. Leo was speechless when he saw Kevin being sent in again.
Half an hour later, Dr. Leo finally walked out of the ward.
"Kevin has passed the dangerous period and is resting inside now. However, he is a bit excited. You'd better be careful later."
"Okay, we will be careful. Thank you, Dr. Leo." Felicia said gratefully.
Then, Felicia was about to walk towards the ward, but was stopped by Ethan.
"Aunt Felicia, Uncle Gavin, did you hear what Kevin said just now?"
"Ethan, we're sorry. We apologize to you on behalf of Kevin." Gavin and his wife said very apologetically.
"Auntie, well, it was me who farted." Ethan said with some embarrassment. After all, he had caused such great harm to others, and Ethan couldn't be tough at all.
Gavin and Felicia were stunned, and Victor stood beside with his brows furrowed.
After a long few seconds, Gavin and Felicia looked at each other, and then walked up to Ethan.
"Child, unexpectedly, you are... you are willing to make such a great sacrifice! Kevin has a friend like you. I'm really happy for him!"
"Uncle Gavin, I..."
"Child, don't say any more. Your auntie and I appreciate your kindness, but this sacrifice is too great. We really can't bear it..."
"Auntie, that fart was mine. You just heard it. Kevin said it." Ethan said earnestly.
"Child, we know everything. I'm really grateful for all you've done for Kevin, but we really can't let you do this. The sacrifice is too great." Felicia said full of gratitude.
Ethan was confused in his heart: All I've done for Kevin? Too great a sacrifice? Wait, I'm a bit confused! This is not right! When he decided to admit it just now, he was already prepared to bear all the consequences, but the result was... gratitude, full of gratitude, sincere gratitude. What... is this all about?
"Director Gavin, I think Ethan's method might be worth a try. Although it's a bit unfair to Ethan, since he is willing to make a sacrifice, he must be psychologically prepared to bear the consequences. Moreover, I believe he will do better than Kevin and be able to adjust himself properly without getting into a dead end." Beside them, Teacher Victor said.
Hearing this, Ethan finally understood. So they still firmly believed that the fart was Kevin's. The reason they were grateful was that in their opinion, when he said the fart was his, it was to take the blame for Kevin and remove the burden from his heart. This was a self - deprecating act and also a great sacrifice to save Kevin.
"I... %@￥#" Ethan was speechless.
"This..."
"Uncle Gavin, it's okay. Later, if he says it was me, you just pretend to believe it. Don't worry. I will also cooperate fully!" Ethan said.
"Child! Thank you! Thank you!" Felicia said extremely gratefully.
When they entered the ward, Kevin saw them coming and sat up immediately.
"Dad, Mom, Teacher Victor, you saw it! He did it! That fart was his!"
Gavin and his wife looked at Ethan. Seeing Ethan nod, they said: "Yes, we saw it. It was him. You were wrongly accused."
"The teacher also knows. It was him. You were wrongly accused. Your classmates will soon know too."
"%￥#..." Kevin.
He had thought of a lot of things to say, and could even write a long essay. But now... he felt like punching cotton.
Kevin suddenly felt that the thing he had been obsessing over didn't seem so big. It was really just a trifle. He suddenly felt relaxed, and his eyes regained their brightness.
Looking at Ethan, Kevin then turned to Victor and said: "Let's handle this matter low - key. After all... that feeling was not pleasant."
