Chapter 1276
Grandpa Augustine immediately stood up and walked towards Comelia. Because of the close distance, he could see Comellia more clearly
Corneliaâs neck had turned a fiery red, and he could only imagine the state of her concealed skin, âWhat on earth are you allergic to it seems really bad?â
Jarvis interjected, âGrandpa Augustine, my driver is still downstairs. Can I take Nelly to the hospital?â
Cornelia replied, âGrandpa Augustine, Jarvis, you guys donât need to worry I have some allergy medication prescribed by Dr. Lester in my room be fine after taking t
Hearing the commotion, Patricia hurried over. Upon seeing the rash on Comeliaâs neck, Patricia smacked herself hard in regret, Nelly, I cant believe I forgot about your severe peanut allergy Iâm so carelessâ
Comelia reassured her, âPatricia, itâs okay. Donât blame yourself. Can you fetch the allergy medication from my bedside table? The one Dr. Lester gave me.â
Patricia replied, âOf course, Iâll get it right awayâ
Now, Grandpa Augustine was genuinely angry, âShe knew you were allergic to peanuts, yet she still included them in the food. I donât think she meant wel
This, Comelia couldnât take, âGrandpa Augustine, you canât say that. I know how much Patricia cares for me. Besides, Iâm a grown woman. I should take responsibility for what I eat or donât eat. We cant
blame others.â
Grandpa Augustine apologized, âNelly, Iâm sorry!â He had spoken out of concern and didnât mean to hurt her feelings
Cornelia then told Jarvis, âI guess I wonât be able to see you out todayâ
This was her polite way of telling Jarvis that it was time for him to leave.
He got the hint. Cornelia didnât want him to stay longer. But he wasnât in a hurry. He had been waiting for so many years. What was another day or two?
Seeing her calm demeanor, he guessed she had had many allergy attacks before and was probably okay. So, he just said. âAlrightâ
As Jarvis headed towards the door and opened it, he bumped into someone who was about to ring the doorbell.
The visitor, seeing the unfamiliar man, paused, âIs this Ms. Stewartâs place?â
Jarvis replied, âYes. And you are?â
Cornelia quickly walked towards the door, âDr. Charlie, what brought you here?â
âGranny Luisa asked me to come over for your routine checkâup.â Dr. Charlie looked up and saw that Corneliaâs face and neck were all red âNelly, you had another allergic reaction?
Cornelia replied, âYeah.â
Dr. Charlie said, âLet me check you.â
Comelia reassured her, âDonât worry, I have the medication Dr. Lester gave me. Patricia has gone to fetch it.â
The medicineâs here!â Patricia hurriedly brought the medication, âNelly, take it quickly. Dr. Lesterâs medicine works really well, youâll feel better soon.â
But if the medicineâs ingredients were unknown, and if Cornelia was indeed pregnant, would it affect the baby?
Dr. Charlie intervened, âNelly, can you hold off on taking the medication for a bit?â
Grandpa Augustine protested, âSheâs breaking out in hives! You want her to wait?â
Dr. Charlie insisted, âAllergy medications shouldnât be taken lightly. Let me examine Nelly first.â
Patricia was overcome with guilt, âItâs all my fault, I forgot.â
Dr. Charlie shot Patricia a knowing look, âDonât blame yourself. Letâs help Nelly back to her room. Iâll give her a thorough checkâup.â
First off, Dr. Charlie would perform a simple urine test on Cornelia. This would give them a preliminary idea of whether she was pregnant or not.
