Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1144

Benedict couldn’t move his eyes away from the doctor’s pair of hands. It was evident he was afraid he would miss it, just like the time he headed out of the ward to answer the call.

A skin prick test was all it would take to determine if the young man was allergic to penicillin.

Silence remained in the ward as everyone held their breath throughout the session.

Once the doctor was done, he beckoned Edmund to hold on to the cotton bud and reminded him, “It’s going to take twenty minutes until we get our hands on the result. If you feel uncomfortable, send someone to get me as soon as possible.”

Edmund looked at the doctor in the eyes and took over the cotton bud as instructed.

On the other hand, the doctor paid no heed to him and marched out of the ward once he gathered the sample he needed.

Benedict, Edmund, and the one affiliated with the family were the only ones left in the ward.

Edmund had a mouthful of apple and continued playing his game as if he couldn’t care less of those around him.

Benedict and the one affiliated with the family were speechless because of the young man’s behavior.

Twenty minutes was nothing much for an ordinary person. However, it felt as if it was an eternity for the ones in the ward, especially Benedict.

He couldn’t suppress the urge to pay the doctor another visit and headed out to figure out the progress of the test.

Within five minutes, he returned to the side of his so-called son and removed the cotton bud against his son’s will.

“Why are you still holding on to this cotton bud?”

Edmund rolled his eyes and asked in a sarcastic manner, “Are you deaf or something? Haven’t you heard the doctor’s instructions?”

As a result of his sarcastic remark, Benedict’s lips twitched against his will. The thing irritating him the most was the fact the pricked wound hadn’t reacted to the allergen.

How is that possible? Why isn’t he reacting to the allergens?

When the observant Edmund noticed the man’s eyes flickering in despair, he sat upright and asked with a scowl, “What’s wrong? Are you upset I’m doing fine?”

Benedict was at a loss for words to defend himself. Thus, Edmund added, “Were you the one who sent the nurse to administer penicillin? What? Are you trying to kill me merely because of the troubles I have caused you?”

Overwhelmed by angst, he cast the apple in the direction of his so-called father without holding back while yelling, “Why don’t you go ahead and kill me?”

Benedict knew it was time for him to stop pushing his luck. Immediately after he evaded the apple launched in his direction, he leaned over and explained, “What are you talking about? You’re my only son! There’s no way I’m going to kill you!”
