The doctor slowly took off his face mask and said solemnly, “Ms. Floretta fainted due to an allergic reaction. May I know what she had for her dinner?”

Evander grimaced. Sensing his icy gaze on her, Angeline felt as if someone was pressing a dagger against her throat.

“I brought Floretta to a seafood buffet to celebrate the completion of Jacob’s filming tonight. She has never seen a crab, so I let her eat some…”

Her voice gradually grew softer as she spoke. She stared at the floor, not daring to meet Evander’s eyes.

“Do you know why Floretta has never seen a crab?” Evander’s voice was cold. “That’s because she’s allergic to crab meat. Who allowed you to bring her to that place of your own accord?”

Angeline didn’t respond.

She shuddered in fear and shrank herself as a look of devastation spread across her face. Why didn’t I think of that? I must have lost my senses at that time!

“I’m sorry, Mr. Golding. I didn’t know about Floretta’s condition.”

“Why do you think you were born with a pair of hands? Don’t you know how to make a phone call?” Evander questioned her harshly while fixating his gaze on her, capturing every detailed change in her countenance that reflected her emotions.

“It was my fault. I failed to clarify the situation. I’m sorry,” Angeline uttered apologetically. Tears brimmed in her eyes, and she looked as if she could cry in the next second.

Evander’s wrath gradually dissipated as he took in her reddened eyes. He didn’t say anything else afterward.

Shortly after, the nurse exited the room while pushing a stretcher. Floretta had drifted off to sleep. Her hand was attached to an IV drip, and her fair, petite face was tear-stained.

The little girl appeared extremely pitiful in that state.

Evander followed the nurse into the ward.
