Chapter 279

“Allergic reaction?” Hesper was still panicking. “There’s nothing that he could be allergic to fiweet potatoes?”

Hesper hugged Renfrew. Rickard asked her to calm down and turned to go get the car.

Fortunately, there was a hospital not too far away and the traffic was alright. The three soon got to the hospital’s emergency room. The doctor quickly checked on him.

As expected, he did have an allergic reaction, but they were still trying to find out what he was allergic to.

I’m a terrible mother…”

Renfrew was getting treated in the room. Hesper and Rickard couldn’t go in yet, so they had to wait outside on the benches.

Hesper blamed herself because how could she not know about his allergies? It was fortunate that he didn’t have a terrible reaction to it, but had it been severe, it could have been too late by the time they got to the hospital, and maybe… She was just glad that none of that happened

It’s not your fault. I didn’t notice that something was wrong either.” Rickard hesitated and finally held Hesper’s hand. “I took him for an allergy test before and sweet potatoes weren’t on the list. He hasn’t had sweet potatoes for a long time, so it’s possible that he developed the allergy later on. We couldn’t have predicted that, could we?”

Even though it was true, Hesper still felt terrible. When the test results came out and confirmed that he was allergic to sweet potatoes, she blamed herself even more.

“Luckily, he was brought here in time. He’s fine now and the reaction has subsided,” the doctor said, coming out. “You can go in now. Can the father come to get the medication for him with me please?”

“Alright.” Rickard let go of Hesper’s hand and quietly said, “I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay…” Hesper walked into the room and saw how frail Renfrew looked as he lay in bed. It was so drastically different from how he was in the afternoon when he was hopping around catching snow. Her heart ached.

“Ren…”

Renfrew was doing much better. He turned his head when he heard her voice and called her mommy quietly.

Hesper walked over and held onto his hand that didn’t have the IV drip in. She felt terrible. “I’m sorry, I should have paid more attention. I’m sorry for giving you something you’re allergic to.”

“No, the sweet potato… was very sweet.”

Renfrew shook his head and smiled. “I’ll remember its taste. Even though I can’t eat it in the future. anymore, I’ll still remember how sweet it was. I’m glad.”

After coming back, Rickard saw Hesper holding Renfrew’s hand, but they were both fast asleep.

He placed the medication on the table and took out the agreement that Hesper signed on the Ferris wheel. He was hoping that she wouldn’t pay too much attention to the details.

In clause nineteen, it wrote that Ms. Rivera would have to agree to one condition set by Mr. Duval, and that clause could not be changed.
“Allergic reaction?” Hesper was still panicking. “There’s nothing that he could be allergic to. Sweet potatoes?”

Hesper hugged Renfrew. Rickard asked her to calm down and turned to go get the car.

Fortunately, there was a hospital not too far away and the traffic was alright. The three soon got to the hospital’s emergency room. The doctor quickly checked on him.
