When the drug wore off, he remembered everything that had happened. He sat up in bed and looked around. No one was around, and the doors and windows were locked.
Louis frowned, unhappy.
He came to find out how the Vaughn family was going to bully his mommy, but he was locked up there. How could he find out anything?
He had to find a way out.
Louis pondered in place for a while, then his eyes lit up, and he had an idea.
He crawled around the room, bumping into doors and climbing windows, making a lot of noise.
When he was sure someone was peeking outside the door, he fell to the ground. His head tilted, and his legs straight. Then he stopped moving.
He was like someone who had suddenly died, quickly.
The two bodyguards in charge of guarding Louis observed him for at least three minutes. After confirming he was not moving, they became nervous and immediately opened the door to check on him.
“He’s still breathing. What’s wrong with this kid?” Bodyguard Dexter breathed a sigh of relief after feeling Louis’s breath. Louis slowly opened his eyes, looking very weak. “It’s not a big deal. I only have a bit of hypoglycemia and need to eat something sweet.”
Upon hearing him speak, both bodyguards breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Louis was alive.
They knew Louis was important to their boss. If Louis died, the boss’s goal would not be achieved. Someone would have died. They would surely be sent to jail.
“Eat something sweet?” Bodyguard Boris looked around the room. “I heard that eating sugar helps with hypoglycemia.” Bodyguard Dexter said, “Where can I find any sugar in this room I should have brought the lollipop my niece gave me.” “No sugar. Is there wine? That’s very sweet. Get me some to drink,” Louis said.
Bodyguard Boris found two bottles of wine in the room, both very expensive. This floor was full of luxury suites.
The wine must have been prepared for those distinguished guests.
Bodyguard Boris immediately went to get the wine. After opening it, he poured a glass and handed it to Louis Clarke, but stopped immediately.
“Can children drink alcohol?” asked Bodyguard Boris.
“Children can’t drink. Their brains haven’t fully developed yet, and drinking will hurt them. My brother and sister–in–law don’t let my niece touch a drop of alcohol. They say that stuff can be fatal to children,” Replied Bodyguard Dexter.

However, they saw Louis’s tears falling. The two strong men were stunned for a moment, and their usually hardened hearts softened a lot.
“Why are you crying? It’s not that we don’t give you wine, but you’re too young to drink. It’ll kill you if you drink it,” said Bodyguard Boris.
Louis’s tears fell, each one as crystal clear as a pearl.
“I’m not crying because I can’t have some wine. It’s because… we are strangers to each other, yet you being. I’m so touched.”

well-
Louis spoke so earnestly, and his tears were not fake. The two tough guys were immediately moved.
Bodyguard Dexter dug into his pocket and pulled out a tissue. He had brought it with him to wipe his niece’s nose, but now it came in handy. He used it to wipe Louis’s tears.
“Don’t cry,” Bodyguard Dexter said words of comfort as if he were giving orders.
Louis made a frightened expression. He sobbed his shoulders, looking extremely pitiful.
Bodyguard Dexter said, “Your family will take you home. They must know you have low blood sugar and will bring sugar to pick you up. When I go to see my niece, I also carry sugar in my pocket.”
“Thank you, sir, for comforting me. You are so kind. If only I could be your friend, you would be very kind to me. I have been without a mother since I was a child. I grew up with my father. I wish I had more family.”
The two bodyguards used to be hard–hearted and didn’t know what tenderness was, and seldom moved.
But they felt sorry for Louis. They thought, ‘He is such a cute and sensible child but didn’t have a mother. It was so pitiful!”
Bodyguard Boris didn’t have a niece. He was less sympathetic than Bodyguard Dexter. He warned, “The kid wouldn’t be trying to butter us up to let him go, would he?”
Bodyguard Dexter’s heart skipped a beat, but when he saw Louis’s cute face and the tears on his face, he felt the thought that had just crossed his and his companion’s minds was despicable.
prodigy?” He gave Bodyguard Boris a blow on the head. “How old is he? How could he have such thoughts? Is he a Bodyguard Boris thought about it and felt it made sense. A child under five wouldn’t have such a mind for scheming.
“I never thought about asking you to let me go. We are on the ship, right? Even if you let me go, I can’t run away. Do I have to run into the sea? Wouldn’t I die if I went into the sea? I don’t want to die. I want to live another five hundred years.”
Louis counted on his fingers. “Dad is too lonely. I want to accompany him for a hundred years. After he dies, I will go to find Mommy. After I find Mommy, I will accompany her for a hundred years.
“After Mommy dies, I will get married, accompany my wife for a hundred years, have a child, raise the child for a hundred years, and then take care of myself for a hundred years. Five hundred years is just enough.”
Louis seriously counted with his chubby little hands, looking so adorable.
It made the two bodyguards more convinced he was just a four–year–old child, innocent and ignorant without any scheming.

“Sir, you care about me so much. I’m touched. I can’t drink the wine, so why don’t I pour it for you to drink?” Louis looked at them, his beautiful, clear eyes blinking.
“We are working and cannot drink,” Bodyguard Boris said.
“Aren’t you watching me? You are so smart and vigilant. It’s okay to have some wine. Even if you get drunk, you can still watch over a child like me.”
The two bodyguards looked at each other and said nothing.
Louis cried, “Sir, you don’t like me, so you refused to drink the wine I poured for you.”
The two tough guys couldn’t bear to see such a cute little boy cry Their hearts softened, especially the bodyguard, who had a niece.
“Okay, we each will have one glass of wine. The alcohol content in wine is not high.”
So the two of them had a drink.
“Sir, you drank it. Yeah, I want to try it, too.”
Louis was about to drink when Bodyguard Dexter snatched the wine and drank it himself. Then he taught Louis, “You are a child and can’t drink wine, waiting until you are eighteen.”
“Then you drink. You and the sir next to you look so amazing.”
Louis dipped his finger in the wine, licked it, and said with a satisfied look, “It’s so sweet. I want more.”
The two bodyguards immediately came to grab his wine and drink it, afraid he would hurt his body if he drank it. They were adults, and there was no problem drinking two bottles of wine.
Soon, two bottles of wine entered their stomachs.
