Chapter 499 Allergic Reaction
Cecilia could still recall how Nathaniel had looked particularly upset back then. He had roughly pulled her aside to an isolated spot and scolded her.
“Aren’t you embarrassed enough already?”
Nathaniel tossed the roses she held into the trash bin. “If you’re free, get back to work instead of wasting time on such nonsense.”
At that time, Cecilia merely stood there and watched him, her heart sinking with disappointment. “Most guys confess to girls. I thought you’ll be happy when I confessed to you.”
After all, they were both married, but there had been no progress between them.
“Never bring up this nonsense about love again. It’s childish,” Nathaniel sternly warned before leaving.
From a certain point onward, Cecilia dared not voice her love anymore.
She had never experienced what it was like to be one of those couples on the street. She didn’t know how it felt to openly express her love.
Boom!
Fireworks were permitted in the suburbs this year. Before the sky darkened, the sound of fireworks in the distance snapped Cecilia back to reality.
As she looked at Nathaniel, who had pulled her into his embrace, she still couldn’t bring herself to utter the three words.
Some wounds, once inflicted, were almost impossible to heal.
“Nathaniel, we’re not children anymore. Let’s not be so immature.”
She pulled away from him.
When she looked up, she saw that Nathaniel’s handsome face was covered in a dense array of red spots.
“You’re having an allergic reaction…”
Nathaniel only felt an unbearable itch on his face. He didn’t know that he could have an allergic reaction.
Vithout hesitation, Cecilia said, “Let’s go. I’ll call Sven right now to take you to the hospital.
When Sven arrived, he was shocked. He hadn’t expected that Nathaniel would have an allergic reaction in just an hour’s time.
Nathaniel was taken to the hospital for tests, Before that, Cecilia only knew that he was allergic to pollen. She never expected that he could also have an allergic reaction to barbecued skewers. It seemed like he didn’t have a strong body.
Following the allergy test, Cecilia discovered that Nathaniel was not allergic to barbecued. skewers. Instead, he might be allergic to certain perfumes used by passersby.
Nathaniel had a particular distaste for the perfume scents. None of the women around him wore perfume, including Cecilia.
In the past, whenever he ventured out, he would always travel in his private car and rarely stroll around pedestrian streets. That day, he had been in contact with far too many people, causing him to have an allergic reaction.
While Nathaniel was undergoing treatment, Cecilia and Sven were standing outside.
Finally, Sven couldn’t help but say, “Ms. Smith, I’ve found out the details about Mr. Reese that you asked me to look into.”
“How is he doing?” Cecilia immediately asked.
“He was seriously injured and is currently hospitalized.” Sven paused before continuing, “According to my investigation, this incident might be closely related to the person in there.”
Cecilia’s mind went blank.
“Are you saying that Nathaniel is the one who got Calvin hurt?”
Sven neither confirmed nor denied. “Based on my investigation, he is the only one who can pose a threat to Mr. Reese.”

Sven wanted to tell her that Nathaniel wasn’t as frail as he appeared now, but fearing it would be presumptuous, he held his tongue.
“Okay. You must find a way to get in touch with Calvin for me.”
Cecilia had mixed feelings about the situation.
“All right. However, the Reese family is currently on high alert. For the time being, they won’t allow anyone else to see him.” Sven, who was now under Cecilia’s command, approach Calvin.
Cecilia nodded. “Then let’s wait.”
couldn’t directly
After finishing her conversation with Sven, Cecilia went to Nathaniel’s ward with a cold expression.
Since the allergic reaction wasn’t too severe, he applied some medicine to the red spots on his face, and they quickly faded away.
