Chapter 241 Benjamin Was Barely Alive
Kingsley looked at the emergency room.
For as long as he knew Benjamin, he had never seen Benjamin in such serious condition apart from that one time when the latter had an accident during the field operation. Other than that, Benjamin had always been healthy, and he didn’t even catch a cold.
But now he’s having an anaphylactic shock?
“Don’t worry. Shaun’s an amazing doctor. He can save anyone even if the patient’s life is hanging by a thread,” Kingsley said to comfort Arissa and himself at the same time.
Arissa looked at him and nodded.
She wasn’t as nervous as earlier after Kingsley and Shaun came.
“This is all my fault! If I didn’t prepare a natto feast for him, he wouldn’t be in this situation.”
“You made the dish?” Kingsley asked in surprise.
Arissa nodded in response to his question.
At this point, she was filled with regret.
If he dies because of this, I’d never forgive myself. How do I even bring myself to look at the kids’ eyes in the future if something happens to him? Her eyes started tearing up.
Kingsley raised his brow when he saw her cry. She’s really worried about him. Benjamin would be extremely pleased if he knew how worried Arissa was.
“Don’t think too much. Let’s wait for him together. Don’t worry. He won’t be so easily defeated by a mere allergy,” Kingsley said casually.
She turned to look in the direction of the emergency room. All she wanted right now was to see Benjamin coming out from the emergency room safely.
Kingsley sighed and leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets. He was looking at the emergency room too.
I wonder how Benjamin’s doing right now. He should be fine, right?
Kingsley turned to look at Arissa again. He recalled their first encounter. Back then, she was really calm and composed. However, this was the first time he had seen her this nervous and worried.
Without thinking, he took his phone out of his pocket and took a picture of her without her knowing. After that, he kept his phone as if nothing happened.
The bodyguards were at a loss for words.
Kingsley stared at them and they avoided his gaze.
An hour later, Benjamin was finally out of the emergency room. He was still lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip. Although he was safe from critical condition, he still hadn’t regained consciousness, and the swelling on his face hadn’t gone away.
Arissa hastily went up to ask the doctor. “Doctor, how is he?”
Kingsley was shocked to see how Benjamin looked.
“Is he okay?” he asked Shaun immediately.
“He’s fine now,” Shaun said and let out a sigh of relief. He was completely surprised by what Benjamin looked like when he walked into the emergency room earlier.
Benjamin had eaten too much natto. If Arissa hadn’t brought him to the hospital on time, he might not make it.
“Don’t worry, we’ve cleaned out everything that was in his stomach. He should be fine after getting his injections for the next few days. Make sure that he doesn’t eat any food that is exceptionally rich in proteins, especially natto and mollusks,” the head doctor said to Arissa.
Arissa nodded quickly and said, “Okay, Doctor. I’ll remember that. Thank you so much!”
“Let’s transfer him to the ward now so that he can rest,” the director said to a nurse, and the nurse pushed the hospital bed to the ward.
Arissa quickly followed behind them.
“How come I never knew that he’s allergic to that stuff?” Kingsley asked Shaun.
“Now you do,” Shaun looked at him briefly before making his way to the ward as well.
“Is he really okay now?” Kingsley asked as he chased after Shaun.
Shaun rolled his eyes at Kingsley. “Yeah. He’s fine now. Didn’t you hear us earlier?”
Is he doubting our skills as doctors or does he have doubts about Benjamin’s ability to recover?
“But, I was almost scared to death when I saw him on the hospital bed earlier. He looked like he was about to die. Why did he suddenly eat that anyway? Doesn’t he always follow a strict diet? He’s the same as Gavin in terms of their weakness toward food allergies,” Shaun said. He had never seen Benjamin in that condition before, so he was completely shocked by the big, red patches on his body.
“I know why he ate that,” Kingsley said mysteriously.
“You do?” Shaun asked with his eyes open wide.
Kingsley ran his fingers through his hair as he walked and said, “Beg me and I’ll tell you.”
Shaun was speechless.
This guy has been with me all along. How would he know that? Hmmm… There’s a big possibility that Arissa told him.
