Chapter 248

According to Anastasia, the doctors conducted some allergy tests on Pattie. It turns out that Pattie was indeed allergic to cilantro.

After nearly an hour of medical hustle and bustle and some medication, Pattie’s allergic reaction was finally under control. However, her stomach was empty, and she was weak as a kitten, looking quite pitiful. As the doctors wheeled Pattie out of the ER, Anastasia’s eyes instantly welled up.
