His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 320

‘Is this woman really this child’s mother? How does she not know her child has allergies?!’

Lily looked at Lisa with puzzlement in her eyes, and Lisa just smiled back helplessly. Coincidentally, the ambulance arrived, and the medical staff rushed over to inspect the child before loading him into the ambulance.

Lily heaved a sigh of relief when the medical staff took over. She cleaned her hands and was about to settle the bill and leave when Helen grabbed onto her clothes. “You can’t leave! You have to go to the hospital with me!”

“Helen!” Lisa exclaimed, “You can’t do this! Lilsy’s my friend!”

“I’m sorry, Lisa,” Helen said as she looked toward Lisa, “I need her to go to the hospital with me even if she is your friend. It’s still uncertain whether Nick will be okay. Who knows if what she did to Nick earlier harmed him instead.”

“No, I’m sure it didn’t. I believe in Lilsy,” Lisa swore as she trusted her friend.

Helen smiled bitterly. “It’s pointless even if you believe in her. You know very well that I’ll be unable to explain it to Mike if anything happens to Nick. I snuck Nick out today. If something happens to him, I…”

“I understand your difficult position, Helen, but Lilsy…”

“I’ll go with her,” Lily said lightly.

She had instantly understood the duo’s argument. Helen was worried Lily’s actions earlier would cause harm to the child. Lily had no choice but to do that, as severe food allergies could cause anaphylaxis.

Moreover, Nick was just a child. If she had not taken first aid measures in time and the worst happened, it would most likely be fatal. She could not just sit by and watch the child suffocate to death.

“Lilsy…” Lisa looked at Lily apologetically. Helen and Lily were her friends, but it was insulting and disrespectful for Helen to do this.

“It’s okay. I understand Helen’s concerns as she’s Nick’s mother,” Lily expressed her understanding and smiled. Although she could understand Helen’s concerns and worries as a mother, she could not understand Helen’s ignorance of her own child.

It was okay if it was regarding small matters, but something as serious as an allergy that concerned the child’s life? How did Helen not know about this?

Under Helen’s insistence, Lily followed her to the hospital. Lisa was worried and followed them as well.

The medical staff sent the child to the emergency ward while the trio had to wait outside. Helen was anxious and continuously paced back and forth. Even Lisa’s comforting words did nothing to calm her.

Lily knew Helen was overthinking, judging from her anxious expression. ‘How could a mother not care about her child? Helen might’ve had an oversight, or that was the first time her son had an allergic reaction, and she just happened to be there.

Lily’s mind was running wild. Raising a child was no simple task, after all. She thought that having children of her own one day would be nice. However, that thought now completely vanished.

Sounds of rapid footsteps came from the other end of the corridor. It sounded like leather shoes slapping against the hard, tiled floor. Before Lily could turn and look at the source of the sound, she saw Helen freeze with a horrified expression on her face.
