American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Then, she looked at Mike with concern and asked, "Mike, are you feeling unwell? Do you want Grandma to take you to the hospital?"

Mike shook his head; the cramps in his stomach had eased somewhat. He said, "I'm not entirely sure, but there's a good chance the food is contaminated..."

As he was speaking, little George, who had been eating in silence, suddenly clutched his stomach, his face turned deathly pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Then, as if a virus were spreading, everyone else at the table clutched their stomachs, their faces turning pale.

"Damn it, the eggs Billy gave us must have expired." George had just suffered a lot last night, so his reaction was particularly intense.

"No, Mike, call an ambulance!" Connie's grandma was also clutching her stomach, looking very uncomfortable.

Seeing that some people were starting to vomit, and the situation was getting worse, Mike hurriedly said, "It's too late, I'll go get the car, you guys squeeze in, I'll take you to the hospital."

“Drive my car, it’s more spacious…” George, fighting off his dizziness, handed the car keys to Mike.

Then, he helped his family members and walked outside.

“How could this happen? God promised to protect my family…” Young Sheldon was also in great pain, but more than the physical discomfort, he was furious that God had broken the “covenant.”

"Shirley, what are you waiting for? Come here quickly." George stood at the door and called back to his youngest son.

"Wait a minute~" Young Sheldon took off his white religious robes and complained, "I don't believe in God anymore. Even if He exists, he must be a bad person..."

When Mike returned after starting the car, he saw that young Sheldon was almost unsteady on his feet and was still muttering to himself.

Because of the immense blow he suffered, an elemental aura appeared around him.

'God help me!' Mike murmured, picked up the ball of light, and ran outside with little Sheldon in his arms.

Chapter 28 Deadly Breakfast

The Cooper family appeared to have a severe poisoning reaction, but after arriving at the hospital, emergency room doctors determined that they only had mild food poisoning.

This is good news; at least a few people will avoid the pain of gastric lavage and enemas.

After a moment of relief, Grandma Connie looked at Mike, who was standing at the back, and said, "Mike, come over here and let the doctor take a look too."

Because of the urgency of the situation and Mike's perfectly normal behavior, the Cooper family almost completely overlooked the fact that he had also eaten the poisoned eggs.

Actually, Mike's body had already recovered after a period of self-adjustment.

However, seeing everyone's concerned expressions, he obediently sat down in front of the doctor.

After examining Mike's tongue and pupils, the emergency room doctor asked doubtfully, "Are you sure he also ate something poisonous?"

“It’s confirmed, Mike was the first to discover there was something wrong with the food,” Grandma Connie explained.

Others also spoke up to testify for Grandma.

“This isn’t right.” The emergency room doctor frowned. “In my years of experience, he doesn’t show any signs of poisoning. On the contrary, he looks healthier than many people.”

After thinking for a moment, the doctor said cryptically, "If you are still worried, I can collect some of his blood and bodily fluids for further testing."

"Thank you, but no thanks," Mike shook his head and declined.

Seeing that Mike insisted, the others did not press the matter further.

Next, the emergency room doctor gave the Cooper family some saline solution and prescribed them some antibiotics.

As the saying goes, illness comes like a landslide, but recovery is like pulling silk from a cocoon.

Although the Cooper family felt better after taking the antibiotics prescribed by their doctor, they spent the rest of the weekend staying at home.

The next morning, Connie's grandmother was back to her usual self.

To thank Mike for his help yesterday, she prepared a lavish breakfast.

"Mike, drink the milk in front of you, it's good for your health," Grandma Connie reminded him with a smile.

Today, Connie's grandma surprisingly didn't drink alcohol, and instead held a large glass of milk in her hand.

The abundant protein in milk can hinder the body's absorption of toxic substances, thus achieving a mild detoxification effect.

"OK~" Mike swallowed the biscuit in his mouth and drank the milk in one gulp.

Seeing that it was almost time, he said goodbye to Grandma Connie and went to Cooper's house.

Because Grandma Connie found it too much trouble, Mike has been hitching a ride with George to school every morning lately.

When they arrived at Cooper's house, the whole family had recovered from the food poisoning they had suffered the previous day.

Mary was in the kitchen, busy preparing lunch for little Sheldon to take away. Seeing Mike arrive, she took a moment to ask, "Mike, have you had breakfast? Would you like some fried sausages?"

In the past, when Mike was in a hurry, he would sometimes eat breakfast at Cooper's house.

"No need, I've already eaten," Mike replied, and sat down on the sofa as if they were old friends.

At the dining table, George had finished his breakfast and was constantly checking the time and urging his three children to eat.

Little George was rummaging through the table looking for salad dressing; he thought Mary's breakfast was too bland.

Meanwhile, Missy was secretly picking out the green peppers from the plate in front of her, because she didn't like the taste of green peppers.

As for young Sheldon, he was the least worrisome at this moment. He knew he was running out of time for class, so he was quickly finishing the fried sausage in front of him.

This messy scene is typical of the Cooper family's morning routine.

Suddenly, Sheldon, who was eating breakfast, stood up with a look of horror on his face, clutching his neck.

"Shelly, what's wrong?" George didn't pay much attention at first when he saw Sheldon stand up.

George only realized that Sheldon was choking on a sausage when he couldn't breathe and his face turned red.

Immediately, George panicked and picked up Sheldon upside down, patting his back repeatedly.

However, this rough rescue attempt had no effect. Instead, Sheldon's face turned even paler due to the blood rushing to his head.

"George, try the Heimlich maneuver!" Mike noticed the situation and, seeing Sheldon's discomfort, quickly suggested the correct first aid method.

George understood, put Sheldon down, put his arm around his abdomen, and then gently thrust into his back.

Perhaps because he was too nervous, he failed to spit out the sausage despite several attempts.

"George, come help!" In this critical situation, Mike quickly called for help to little George, whose hands were covered in ketchup.

Because it happened so suddenly, neither George nor Missy realized that something was wrong; they just thought that Sheldon was up to his old tricks again.

Hearing Mike call, little George noticed that little Sheldon's face had turned purple. He quickly ran over, anxiously asking, "What should I do?"

Although George Jr. may seem to dislike Sheldon Jr. as the older brother, he actually cares a lot about his smart younger brother.

"Help keep Sheldon's head steady," Mike commanded.

George felt there was something wrong with Mike's suggestion, but he also knew he wasn't as smart as Mike.

Moreover, now is not the time to question.

Without thinking twice, George responded and stretched out his hands, which were covered in ketchup, to approach Sheldon's cheek.

This series of actions may seem lengthy, but in reality, they all happen in an instant.

Young Sheldon was on the verge of death, but his mind remained perfectly clear.

Time seemed to stretch out for him as he watched little George's dirty hands approach, bit by bit. For someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, this was an immense ordeal.

As the individual's subjective timeframe is extended, this torment is amplified infinitely.

"No!" After struggling, young Sheldon finally shouted out in resistance just before George's hand was about to touch him.

With that sound, the little sausage stuck in his throat was successfully spat out.

In a moment of panic, little George grabbed the sausage. Seeing that little Sheldon was saved, he exclaimed excitedly, "Hey, I saved your life!"

“No, you should go wash your hands.” Little Sheldon broke free from George’s father’s grasp, straightened his bow tie, and then gave little George’s hands, which were covered in ketchup, a look of disdain.

Those hands were what had just made him feel worse than dead.

"Tch~ It's just ketchup..." Seeing that the other party didn't appreciate it, little George threw away the whole sausage in his hand, then deliberately licked the ketchup off his hand, and said arrogantly, "If Mike hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have bothered with you."

On the other side, after seeing that his youngest son was alright, George seemed exhausted and sat down in the chair next to him.

When Mary rushed out after hearing the noise, she saw a chaotic scene in the restaurant.

"What happened here?" Mary asked in surprise.

"It's nothing~" George breathed a sigh of relief, briefly dealt with his wife, and then sternly stopped the two children from arguing.

Then, he checked the time and ordered, "Go and finish your breakfast, we should get going."

Little George obediently returned to the table and finished his salad with tomato sauce in a few bites.

Looking at the remaining fried sausages on the table, young Sheldon said in fear, "No, they'll kill me."

Seeing how disobedient Sheldon was, George frowned and said, "Whatever, we should go..."

After saying that, he called to George and Mike and walked outside.

After Mike picked up the ball of light from Sheldon, he reminded him, "Aren't you leaving yet? You're going to be late for class."

Believe it or not, these past two days, Sheldon has experienced great joy, great sorrow, and a life-threatening crisis, but he has contributed a lot of intelligence to Michael.

In a sense, if we want to generate more profits, we can't let Sheldon be idle.

Chapter 29 Plastic Sisters

Young Sheldon was a little late for breakfast, and by the time Mike and the other two arrived at the classroom, they had just missed the bell.

Ingram (the math teacher) ignored little George and looked with interest at Mike and Sheldon, the two good students standing in the doorway, and teased, "Can you tell me why you're late today?"

In Ms. Ingram's view, top students like Mike and Sheldon are usually not late.

Especially Sheldon Jr., given his personality, he probably wouldn't miss any cultural lessons.

Perhaps it was Ms. Ingram's gentle attitude that triggered Sheldon's pent-up resentment. Recalling his near-death experience that morning, he said, "Ms. Ingram, I almost choked to death on a sausage this morning, which is why I missed class."

Although, Sheldon Jr. spoke very sincerely.

However, Ms. Ingram could not imagine that someone could choke on a delicious sausage, or even nearly choke to death.

Subconsciously, she thought the other person was lying.

So, Ms. Ingram absurdly asked, "Sheldon, can you tell me how big the sausage is?"

“It was this big!” Little Sheldon gestured with his index finger and thumb, indicating a length of five centimeters, which was terrifying to him: “It was stuck in my throat, and I couldn’t breathe at all…”

Seeing young Sheldon speaking seriously about bizarre things, Mrs. Ingram, who had already judged him to be lying, couldn't help but be amused.

In the classroom, many of the fifteen- or sixteen-year-old classmates disliked Sheldon because of his personality.

Seeing Sheldon's "comical" performance, they finally got their chance and burst into laughter.

The scene was so lively that it seemed they wanted to overturn the classroom.

Even though Sheldon has low emotional intelligence, he could still sense the "malice" from his teachers and students.

He shut his mouth in frustration and unconsciously took a small step closer to Mike and George.

"Alright, stop laughing, everyone." Seeing Sheldon's embarrassment, Ms. Ingram decided to let him off the hook. Then, the teacher looked at Mike and asked, "And you, Mike? Why are you late?"

At first, the teacher tried to remain calm.

However, perhaps Sheldon's reason for being late was too funny, because Ms. Ingram, who had only maintained a serious face for two seconds, burst out laughing again.

Then, thinking herself humorous, she said, "Mike, your excuse for being late isn't because of sausages, is it?"

Ingram's joke caused the students below to burst into laughter again.

Mike glanced around casually and noticed that most of the most boisterous people were boys.

'I'm afraid it's because of jealousy.' Mike shook his head, ignoring them, and then replied seriously to Ms. Ingram, 'George and I were indeed late because it took us some time to help Sheldon get the sausage out of his mouth.'

Hearing that Mike's answer was just as outrageous, the laughter in the classroom grew even louder.

Ingram, the chubby math teacher, leaned back on the lectern, laughing.

"Is it funny?" Mike looked at the students below, his expression gradually turning cold.

He hadn't spoken to many of the students in his class, and they weren't that close. His repeated bursts of laughter were a bit excessive.

This was the first time the students in the class had seen Mike angry. Considering how quickly he had risen to prominence in the school in just two weeks, many students immediately stopped laughing.
