Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1276

Grandpa Augustine immediately stood up and walked towards Cornelia. Because of the close distance, he could see Cornelia more clearly.

Cornelia's neck had turned a fiery red, and he could only imagine the state of her concealed skin, "What on earth are you allergic to? It seems really bad!"

Jarvis interjected, "Grandpa Augustine, my driver is still downstairs. Can I take Nelly to the hospital?"

Cornelia replied, "Grandpa Augustine, Jarvis, you guys don't need to worry. I have some allergy medication prescribed by Dr. Lester in my room. I'll be fine after taking it."

Hearing the commotion, Patricia hurried over. Upon seeing the rash on Cornelia's neck, Patricia smacked herself hard in regret, "Nelly, I can't believe I forgot about your severe peanut allergy. I'm so careless."

Cornelia reassured her, "Patricia, it's okay. Don't blame yourself. Can you fetch the allergy medication from my bedside table? The one Dr. Lester gave me."

Patricia replied, "Of course, I'll get it right away."

Now, Grandpa Augustine was genuinely angry, "She knew you were allergic to peanuts, yet she still included them in the food. I don't think she meant well."

This, Cornelia couldn’t take, "Grandpa Augustine, you can't say that. I know how much Patricia cares for me. Besides, I'm a grown woman. I should take responsibility for what I eat or don't eat. We can't blame others."

Grandpa Augustine apologized, "Nelly, I'm sorry!" He had spoken out of concern and didn’t mean to hurt her feelings.

Cornelia then told Jarvis, "I guess I won't be able to see you out today."

This was her polite way of telling Jarvis that it was time for him to leave.

He got the hint. Cornelia didn’t want him to stay longer. But he wasn't in a hurry. He had been waiting for so many years. What was another day or two?

Seeing her calm demeanor, he guessed she had had many allergy attacks before and was probably okay. So, he just said, "Alright."

As Jarvis headed towards the door and opened it, he bumped into someone who was about to ring the doorbell.
