The Silent Wife

Chapter 184

“It’s fortunate that you brought her here so soon. Based on her current condition, it seems like she’s having an asthma attack after a serious case of allergies. You guys are her parents, and you know about her allergies, so why didn’t you guys watch out? She must have accidentally had some,” the doctor said.

Justin’s face darkened as he glanced at Rachel. “Come out for a while.” Rachel didn’t know what was going on. Justin tugged her toward the stairway once they walked out of the emergency room. He shoved her against the wall angrily. “What did you do?”

“Ow!” Rachel cried out as she felt a sharp pain shooting through her back. “What are you talking about?” she cried as she tried to hold back her cries.

“Didn’t you hear what the doctor said earlier? You fed Charlotte some honey, didn’t you?” he asked.

“I didn’t.”

“Why would Charlotte become like this after just taking a bite out of the cookie otherwise? Do you know that it’s life-threatening for her even to have a little bit of honey? Honey triggers her asthma instantly!” he cried.

The cookies? Rachel was stunned for a moment. “That’s impossible. I didn’t put any honey in the cookies,” she muttered. Could there have been something in the ingredients of the baking materials that contained honey?

Justin was even more furious when he saw the doubtful look on her face. “Did you think that criticizing the way I teach my daughter would make you a qualified mother? You don’t care about your daughter at all; you’re just putting on a fake show of being a loving mother.”

“I’m sorry. I really didn’t know that those cookies.”

“That’s enough!” Justin raised his voice as he howled at her. “I’m warning you now, Rachel. I don’t want you anywhere near Charlotte from now on.”

Bang! The sound of the door closing echoed in the stairway, and Rachel felt her ears ringing. The look in Justin’s eyes before he left made him seem like he was ready to kill someone. Rachel had no doubt that he might have murdered her if something actually happened to Charlotte,

Her phone had already been vibrating in her pocket for a while before she reacted to it. “Hello? Something came up here; I’m in the hospital. It’s nothing. I’ll tell you about it when I get back.”
