Chapter 46 Allergic to Mango
Sherry frowned and stared at Adele. Sherry was a little confused.
Could it be that Adele’s information gathering list was fake? But why did she lie?
Sherry did not give up. She stood up and said, “Let’s go and take a look!”
After putting the plate back to the dining hall, Adele walked out of the dining hall. Before she walked far, she clearly felt that every part of her body was itchy. Her arms, neck, and even her cheeks were hot and itchy.
This feeling was familiar. She scratched her arm and rolled up her sleeves. Then she saw that there was a thin layer of red bumps on her arm.
She … was allergic!
Previously, she had allergic symptoms. She went to the hospital to take a check and found that she was allergic to Mango. However, she did not touch Mango today!
Before she could understand, the feeling of itchiness on her body became stronger. She could not help but reach out to scratch those places. The places that were scratched turned red. However, the itchiness did not stop but got more intensed.
This kind of feeling was like thousands of ants continuously biting at every part of her body. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Adele endured this kind of pain and quickly walked forward. As she was anxious, her footsteps became disorderly, and she directly tripped herself.
Her body fell forward. When she was about to fall to the ground, a hand reached over and directly held her.
“Adele, are you okay?”
Adele barely stood firm and looked up to see Brayden.
She shook her head. Before she could say anything, Brayden’s expression changed. “Your face…”
After Adele came to her senses, she raised her hand to touch her cheeks. They were completely swollen.
This was exactly the same symptoms of mango allergy, but she did not eat anything that contained mango…
Could it be… that glass of mixed vegetable and fruit juice? But she had drunken that before and nothing had happened to her.
Seeing that Brayden wanted to come closer, Adele subconsciously took a step back. “I’m allergic.”
“I’ll take you to the hospital!” Brayden said without hesitation.
Adele originally wanted to refuse, but the uncomfortable feeling became more and more intense. She had no choice but to agree.
….
At the airport in River City’s suburbs.
Damon got off the plane and sent Clara back to the hospital. Then, he rushed to Yusuf Group.
He looked at Ben and instructed, “If anything comes up in the company these few days, report it to me.”
“Mr. Edmundson is following up on the projects. Everything is fine. There are a few directors who wanted to meet you. I have already arranged the appointments into your schedule. Also, the rumors about you and Madam seemed to be spreading inside the company recently…”
“I know that,” Damon frowned slightly and said, “when we get to the office, tell her to come and see me first.”
“Okay,” Ben agreed.
When Damon reached the office, he flipped through the documents that his assistant had just sent over. Before he could take a closer look, Ben pushed open the door and entered.
“Mr. Yusuf, Mrs. Yusuf is … is not in the company. She’s in the hospital.”
“The hospital? What’s going on?” Damon frowned.
“I heard from the Administrative Department that she seemed to be allergic. She is currently in the hospital,” Ben reported truthfully.
Damon looked a little more serious, and he hurriedly got up and walked out. “Which hospital?”
He did not expect that so many things would happen in a few days after he left. First, it was the rumors between him and Adele, and then there was a Brayden. Then, she was allergic again.
“In the Central Hospital. Mr. Yusuf, are you going now? Didn’t you just say that you were going to have a meeting with the higher-ups?” Ben was a little hesitant.
When Damon heard this, his face darkened a little, but he did not stop. “Let’s go to the hospital!”
In less than half an hour, Damon and Ben had already arrived at the hospital. After finding the room number, Damon looked at the door that was barely closed and stepped in.
Suddenly, a voice came from the ward. “Brayden, thank you for sending me to the hospital…”
Damon paused and subconsciously clenched his fists.
Unexpectedly, it was Brayden who sent her here. Could it be that the two of them really…?
“Adele, I said that you can tell me if you have any difficulties.” Another voice came from the ward.
“I know that you are kind, but I am ashamed. Actually, I used you…”
Adele sat on the bed, took a deep breath and continued, “I took the initiative to eat with you to divert everyone’s attention. I don’t want to cause trouble for Mr. Yusuf, so I used you. Sorry…”
Originally, these words held in her heart made her uncomfortable all over. Now that she had confessed, she felt much more relaxed.
When Brayden heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face. “Adele, actually, I know.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“You … know?” Adele was stunned.
“Yes, you have your difficulties. I am very happy to be able to help you. I don’t care, really.”
Hearing him say this, Adele felt even more guilty. She bit her lips. “Brayden, let’s be friends. This time, I owe you a favor. If you need my help in the future, just say it.”
Hearing this, Brayden looked sad, but in the end, he nodded.
He wanted to say something more, but before he could open his mouth, the door was suddenly pushed open, and there came the sound of footsteps.
He turned his head and saw the cold face of Damon. He was shocked. “Mr. Yusuf?”
“Get out.” Damon glanced at him coldly.
“You… you’re back?” Adele, who was sitting on the bed, was also stunned.
The door was closed, and for a moment, only the two of them were left in the room.
Damon stepped forward, his entire body exuding a cold aura.
Adele looked at him with a guilty conscience. “You…”
The man leaned over and placed his hands on the bed, pressing her directly between his arms and chest.
The distance between the two suddenly became close. Damon could almost see the small mole on Adele’s nose and the red dot on her face.
“Are you not going to tell me this if I don’t come back?” Damon was annoyed.
“I … I’m afraid of affecting you,” said Adele, avoiding his gaze.
“Have I ever told you that you are my wife? You shouldn’t hide anything from me!” said Damon, raising his voice.
Adele trembled, unable to speak for a moment.
Damon looked at the woman with red eyes. He suddenly felt a little guilty. Just now, he had heard the conversation between Adele and Brayden clearly at the door. Only then did he know that the real purpose of her looking for Brayden was to protect himself. But why would Damon need her protection?
He was angry and helpless. He lowered his head and looked at Adele with tears in his eyes. She looked pitiful. Then, his heart softened. He straightened up slightly and said in a softer voice, “Take off your clothes. Let me see.”
Adele thought that she had misheard the words. “Why … why do I need to take off my clothes?”
“Aren’t you allergic?” Damon frowned.
At this point, what was she still thinking?
“Ok…”
Adele secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She rolled up her sleeves and said, “It’s much better with an intravenous drip. The doctor also prescribed some medicine. I think I will be fine soon.”
Damon glanced at the dense red rashes on the woman’s fair arms and frowned. “How did you get allergic? Do you know?”
“The doctor found out that the allergen was Mango. Maybe Mango was in the vegetable juice of the canteen today.”
She had not figured out the exact reason yet.
“I have asked Ben to investigate it earlier. There was no mango in the canteen’s fruit juice today.” Damon’s face darkened.
Hearing this, Adele was a little surprised.
Since there was no mango in the juice, how did she get allergic?
