Chapter 38
Thomas lay weakly on the small bed, allowing Dylan to give him an allergy IV drip.
His little mind grew increasingly foggy until he unintentionally nodded off.
When Noah walked in, Thomas was lying on the bed, receiving an IV drip and looking pitiful.
Instantly becoming anxious, he hastily strode over.
“What’s the matter? How did you get a fever all of a sudden?”
“Noah, don’t panic just yet. I know why, but I don’t think the situation is that straightforward. Someone exposed Colt to ginger.”
“What?” Noah’s icy face couldn’t hide the shock in his eyes.
Someone gave his son ginger right under his nose?
Someone had a death wish!
“You heard me right. I think you should conduct a thorough investigation into the situation. Colt has had a ginger allergy since he was a child. The entire Quincy family knows it, including the lady who sweeps the yard. Colt is like this now because of his ginger allergy!”
Dylan was rarely that serious. He’d been watching Colt grow little by little over the last few years. He was the one who handled the child’s various medical issues. His bond with him was even stronger than that with his own child. It was professionalism at its finest!
Someone actually had the gall to mess with him. He was extremely displeased!
“I’ll look into it. Take good care of Colt. Please notify me as soon as he wakes up!”
“Okay. Colt was thinking about you before falling asleep, most likely because he was uncomfortable and wanted you to be with him.” Dylan’s uninhibited words overwhelmed Noah.
It wasn’t until Colt was a little over a year old that he first realized he was allergic.
The little tyke had only recently begun to eat table food when he developed a fever.
He was shocked, constantly worried, and extremely restless.
Angie was always by his side, as well as Colt’s.
He was grateful to her at the time and felt Colt could grow up safely in her presence.
However, it appeared that Colt no longer liked Angie and was even afraid of her. Colt also had suffered from allergic reactions several times in the previous two years.
How did he get here?
Whenever Colt experienced an allergic reaction, he would develop a fever, sore throat, and discomfort all over his body.
It was heartbreaking and pitiful. When he had an allergic reaction, his face would turn pale.
However, he only made arrangements for Angie, who Colt feared and dreaded, to be by his side. Every time Angie told him that Colt was okay, that he was already asleep, and that he shouldn’t bother him, he felt relieved.
Noah couldn’t imagine how sad Colt was at the time, still unable to speak, and how much he had to bear silently.
He was simply too careless as his father!
He felt as though even breathing was painful as the guilt and self-blame that flooded his heart overcame him.
Mr. Charles received an internal phone call and dashed into the living room to meet Noah.
“Mr. Charles, do you realize that ginger has recently appeared at home?”
“Ginger? How is this even possible? Ginger is not allowed in the Quincy household because Colton is allergic to it! Ah, sir, are you saying that Colton’s allergy is why he has a fever?”
Mr. Charles became nervous as soon as he realized what Noah meant.
Colton was the most treasured member of the Quincy family. Who would dare to mess with him?
“Yes. As such, Mr. Charles, please investigate how Colt came into contact with ginger and who brought ginger to this house. I want results within an hour.”
“Sir, don’t worry. I’ll look into it right away. I’m afraid the end is near for whoever dared to mess with Colton in the house!” Mr. Charles was enraged. He left Noah and immediately dispatched some people to look into the matter.
Noah uncrossed his legs and stood up, ready to visit Colt in his room.
Wayne had just rushed back from outside. “Sir, the car on Clearwater Lane has been checked, and it appears that someone tampered with it, resulting in the explosion. The situation on the scene is tragic, but according to the most recent news, there were no casualties, which means…”
