Chapter 1318 Bumped Into Sue
However, Luke was exposed under the light while Abel was hiding in the dark. It would be hard for Luketo defend against Abel...
Luca thought of Luke's current situation and lost the mood to work. She picked up her phone and saidto Rhett, "I’m heading out. Please ask Dr. Cole for a leave of absence on my behalf."
She decided to use ignorance to deal with Dr. Cole. She did not want to have any contact with him soshe asked Rhett to go just to be safe.
Rhett heard her and replied, "Dr. Craw, do you want to take leave for you in the morning or afternoon?"
"Morning and afternoon," Luca said. She probably would not have time for anything else.
"Okay," Rhett said.
Luca cleaned up and left the office.
Instead of going home directly, she chose to go to the mall in the city center and planned to strollaround to buy some clothes in preparation for the change of season. The clothes she bought afterleaving the island were not suitable for the upcoming season...
Luca booked a taxi and went to the city center. She quickly picked out a few pieces of clothing. Shehad nothing much going on in her life, so she bought far fewer clothes than before. All she needed wassome work clothes.
After shopping, she planned to have a meal in the restaurant and then have a good rest at home.Unexpectedly, she ran into a large crowd.
Luca did not want to be nosy but when she heard a cry for help from a somewhat familiar voice, shecould not hold herself back and walked toward the crowd.
After squeezing through the crowd, she saw Sue holding a little girl about the height of Tommy in herarms. She was surrounded by people.
Luca glanced at the other little girl standing next to her and knew that they were both Sue's daughters.It had been some time since she had seen them. She could not tell which was Kari and which was Teri.
Sue looked at the crowd of onlookers and asked hysterically, "Is there a doctor here? Please save mydaughter!"
Luca stepped forward and squatted, wanting to check the girl’s pulse.
Sue held Luca's hand tightly as though an angel was in front of her. She said, "Are you a doctor?Please save my daughter!"
Luca withdrew her hand. She was a little sad to see Sue so worried and said, "Let me check her pulse."
Sue immediately let go and held Kari so that Luca could examine her.
Luca’s hand rested on her veins and she found that Kari's pulse was weak. She then checked herbreathing, frowned, and said, "She suddenly fainted? She's lacking oxygen. Did she eat anything thatshe's allergic to before she fainted? Was she doing any strenuous exercise?"
"I... I don't think so. It’s been more than an hour since we ate anything. I was just bringing them aroundto shop. All we did was walk around, we didn't do any strenuous exercise..." Sue was at a loss, hereyes filled with tears. A kind-hearted onlooker had called for an ambulance but it would take some timefor it to arrive.
Teri suddenly said, "Mom, Kari ate something."
Sue looked at her little daughter and asked, "When did she eat it?"
"When you went to try on clothes, the clerk gave her some candy and she ate it. I haven't eaten mineyet. Here it is." Teri took out the candy from her pocket and handed it to them.
Luca took the candy and glanced at it. It was peanut candy. She looked at Sue and asked, "Is yourdaughter allergic to peanuts?"
Sue shook her head and said, "I don't know. She never liked peanuts, so I don't know if she’s allergic toit."
Luca immediately rolled up Kari's thin sleeves and looked at the red rashes on her skin. She said, "It'san allergy. Her allergy to peanuts will lead to hypoxia. She needs oxygen.
Has anyone called for an ambulance?"
As soon as Luca said that, she heard someone shouting," The ambulance is here!"
A few people in medical uniforms walked in with a stretcher.
As she watched Kari being put on the stretcher, Luca said, "I believe that the peanut candy triggeredher allergy, causing hypoxia and fainting. She needs oxygen. Send her to the hospital as soon aspossible. When you arrive at the hospital, go for the anti-allergy treatment and test for all herallergens."
"I see. Can her family members come with me?" the paramedics nodded and said.
Sue picked Teri up and when she was about to walk off, she suddenly turned around with tears in hereyes as she thanked Luca. "Thank you."novelbin
Luca looked at her and suddenly remembered how Sue took care of her when she first joined TCorporation. When she started a business of her own, Sue relentlessly helped her build the company.
However, at that moment, she was a fragile mother without the astuteness of the past. All that was leftwas helplessness and endless worries.
Jason Doyle was still abroad and could not help her with the kids.
Kari fainted due to allergies and Sue still had Teri to take care of. Luca grabbed her bag and said, "I'llgo to the
hospital with you."
Sue was a little surprised but she was not displeased with Luca offering to accompany her. On thecontrary, she felt a little relieved.
She nodded and agreed to Luca coming along.
They got in the ambulance together. Luca looked at the doctor, who immediately treated Kari. Shechecked Kari’s pulse and found that as oxygen filled her lungs, Kari's pulse became more stable.
Luca watched as Sue cried silently and wiped away her tears from time to time.
She could understand how Sue was feeling.
Sue must be blaming herself for failing to take good care of Kari, causing her to suffer.
Luca comforted her. "It's normal for a child to display an allergic reaction to something that they don'tusually eat. If you're worried, you can go to the hospital to do an allergy check for both of yourdaughters. In the future, you'll be well aware of all that they can and cannot eat."
Sue listened to her every word. Although she was providing an explanation and suggestions on what todo, she also felt comforted by her words.
She nodded and said, "Thank you. Kari and Teri have never eaten peanuts since they were young andI haven't paid much attention to it. You mentioned that Kari is probably allergic to peanuts. Will Teri..."
"The physiques of twins are similar but not exact duplicates. You should have Teri go for a check-up aswell," Luca suggested.
Teri listened to their conversation, then took out the candy in her pocket and coaxed Sue, Mom, don'tbe upset. I won't eat candy anymore."
Sue silently held the candy Teri handed over, tears filling her eyes.
At that moment, she needed Jason but he was abroad. She was lucky to have bumped into Luca.Otherwise, she would have been at a loss.
