Chapter 239 Benjamin Faints
“Okay!” Arissa nodded. She would’ve taken good care of him even if Ethen didn’t ask her to since it was her fault that things had turned out this way.
Both of them got into the elevator. Arissa looked at him with worry, and he looked back at her.
She avoided his eyes immediately and asked, “How are you feeling now?”
“What do you think?” he replied in a harsh tone because he was really unwell.
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to. If I knew that you’re allergic to natto, I wouldn’t have cooked it for you!” she said after she pursed her lips.
I only wanted to scare you, but I didn’t expect any of these to happen!
Benjamin snorted and felt really uncomfortable because of the itch all over his body. He tugged at his necktie.
“If you’re not comfortable, you should take it off,” she said as she reached for his necktie when she realized what he was doing.
As she reached for his neck, her cool fingers brushed against his skin. Immediately, his eyes turned dark, and he held her hand against his neck to soothe the discomfort that he was feeling.
Arissa was speechless. Her face turned red when she looked at his expression.
Why is he acting high when he’s having an allergic reaction?
As soon as the door of the elevator opened, he pushed her aside and walked out quickly.
Arissa staggered for a while before she quickly chased after him. When she wanted to reach out and support him, he glared at her. As a response, she took her hand back.
“I’m not a cripple!”
“Hehe, I’m just worried about you,” she said with a silly laugh.
“Hmph!” Benjamin snorted and got into the car quickly.
When the security guards at the entrance saw how Benjamin looked, they quickly lowered their heads.
“Pretend that you didn’t see anything. No one is to hear about this!” Arissa warned them when she passed by.
After that, she went into the car as fast as she could and asked the driver to drive to the hospital.
Benjamin’s discomfort got worse. His whole body got itchier and hotter.
Other than that, his expression turned darker because he couldn’t scratch the areas that itched with her around.
Arissa asked the driver to speed up when she noticed that Benjamin was feeling worse.
She tried to comfort him. “Please bear with it a little more. We’re reaching soon!”
When she noticed the beads of sweat on his head and how his breathing became more rapid, she panicked.
“What’s wrong, Benjamin?”
He clenched his fists as he tried to suppress the discomfort he was feeling. The veins on his forehead throbbed.
“Please drive faster,” she said shakily when she saw how he looked.
The driver saw what was happening and pressed hard on the accelerator.
She tried to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, but the next moment, Benjamin passed out in her arms.
“Benjamin? Benjamin! Please don’t scare me!”
She tried to wake him up by pinching his finger tips.
Fortunately, the hospital was nearby. It only took them a few minutes to get there.
When they reached the hospital, Benjamin was sent to the emergency room almost immediately.
“Doctor, he ate a lot of natto and had an allergic reaction,” Arissa told the doctor as she followed them to the emergency room.
“Please wait here,” the doctor said to her before he pushed Benjamin into the emergency room.
The moment the door of the emergency room closed, she clasped her hands together to pray for Benjamin.
Benjamin, please be okay. Oh God, how did things turn out this way?
Arissa’s heart was thumping wildly.
“Ms. York, please drink some water. Don’t worry, Mr. Graham will be okay,” the bodyguard said and gave her a glass of water.
“Thank you,” she replied and took it.
She drank a few mouthfuls and held tightly onto the glass as she stared intently at the door of the emergency room.
“Has something like this happen before?” she asked.
“Mr. Graham had never gone through this before,” the bodyguard replied. Although he was shocked, he looked calmer than she was.
She was overwhelmed by guilt. How could I be so careless! Some people are allergic to foods like that! Why didn’t I think of that? Benjamin, you’ve got to get through this! When you’re better, you can get back at me all you want!
Since she didn’t know what the situation was inside the emergency room, Arissa couldn’t calm herself down. As long as he was still in the emergency room, there was no way for her to stay calm.
She picked up her phone with shaky hands when Ethen called.
“How’s Mr. Graham now? Is it serious?”
