Nathan imdiately rejected the idea of letting her eat the food that she's allergic to.
They couldn't risk her having a relapse when they aren't sure if they could use the drug that she formulated to treat her allergies.
But seeing her tearing up and looking like a lost puppy, Nathan's heart felt like it was stabbed by a million sharp knives.
He imdiately reached out to her and was about to hug her but Kim Eunji swatted his hand away.
He knew she was upset.
"Look, I'm sorry. Wifey, you know the risk that if you're going to eat one, you may have an allergy attack." Nathan tried his best to explain it to her as gentle as he could possibly do.
"Do you think I didn't know about that?" Feeling hurt by his reaction, Kim Eunji answered him with her indifferent tone.
'Damn it, why can't I control myself?' She inwardly cursed herself.
She didn't want to act like a b*tch to Nathan but she could not control her emotions at all.
Nathan felt the sa way, too. He felt guilty for snapping at her.
He should have been more considerate. He should have been more patient and understanding.
With everything that's going on inside her body right now, she should not be stressed and this pregnancy's already stressing her out.
"No. Actually we can still give her an anti-allergic shots which were recomnded by the doctors if she would have an allergy attack. But it would always depend on the severity of her allergy." The doctor decided to join in the conversation.
Upon hearing that, Kim Eunji's eyes lit up and she looked at Nathan with pleading eyes.
Nathan was silent for a while but then decided to give in.
He then placed a small servings of the grilled fish on her plate.
And as soon as she placed that in her mouth, she imdiately spat them out as she didn't like the taste. And then all of a sudden, the sll disgusted her.
She imdiately stood up and walked a few ters away from the table.
"Wifey. What's wrong?"
"I can't. I can't eat them. The sll's so strong. And it didn't taste good in my mouth. It was bland." She explained to Nathan who imdiately ca to her side to comfort her.
Then he imdiately checked her arms to see if she was having a reaction. So far there's none which was a good sign.
"I'm fine. I only have an attack if I eat them. But there were tis when I only touch them directly but that scenario was really rare." Kim Eunji told him as she felt the need to let him understand how her allergy worked.
"Manong Popoy, I'm sorry about this. My wife...she felt really uncomfortable these days." He tried his best to explain to him.
"It's understandable. The Young Mada's pregnant, isn't she?" Manong Popoy asked Nathan who remained silent as he was contemplating whether he should tell him or not.
"Master Bai, I am a husband too and a father of five kids before you hired as a caretaker. Her pregnancy symptoms were very obvious to which was pretty normal." The old man fluently explained in English.
Only one could tell one.
Manong Popoy knew that it's hard for a husband to handle his wife's first pregnancy especially when it was still in the early stage. So he's willing to lend a hand for this young couple.
Nathan on the other hand was rendered speechless while Kim Eunji looked down as she was extrely shy by her actions.
"Young Mada, if you felt uncomfortable and nauseous my wife will prepare a cup of ginger tea for you." Manong Popoy suggested and Kim Eunji smiled in gratitude.
"That's so sweet of you, Manong Popoy. I really appreciate that." She said but paused when she suddenly felt an inch on her arm. When she looked down, she saw red dots spreading on her arm.
"Eunji!" Nathan called in alarm as he saw her breathing beca shallow. She was catching her breath.
"Hub-by, I ca-n't breath. Hot! It-chy!" Kim Eunji described what she was feeling.
Nathan then imdiately lifted her up and brought her to the nearby cottage and found himself cradling her while they were sitting on top of the bed.
Everyone was left on shock because of how fast the events unfold in front of their eyes.
When they regained their respective selves back, they imdiately rushed towards the cottage where Nathan brought Kim Eunji.
Soone even called the ambulance just in case they have to bring Kim Eunji to the hospital.
The first to respond was the doctor who ca with their team.
He then opened his first-aid kit and drew an anti-allergic dicine and administered it to Kim Eunji.
Nathan sohow trusted him since he was the expert in this area.
Nathan nervously observed his wife who was still restless in his arms hoping that she'll be fine seconds later.
However, the drug that was given to her seed to be not working.
"What's going on! Why is it not working?! Co on! Tell ." He scolded the doctor who was now close to loosing his composure in front of Nathan.
"I thought it will." The doctor mumbled.
Nathan felt helpless as he watched her having an allergic attack while she was in his arms.
"Sho--ts!" Kim Eunji who felt her body had beco weak forced herself to speak.
She was sweating big beads of sweat and her face was turning paler every minute that passed by.
Seeing her in this painful condition Nathan was stuck in a dilemma.
Since her shot was not yet examined by the professionals, he was hesitant to administer it to her.
Kim Eunji once told him that she was sure that her anti-allergy shot may harm the child in her belly because there was this active chemical that she used to bind the ingredients all together.
But also deep inside, she was hoping that the baby would be okay.
'I'm sorry baby. Mommy's so hard headed.' she said in her mind as she wrapped her arms around her belly.
Nathan on the other hand had finally reached into a decision.
Nathan then asked Derek to get her dicine kit from her hand-carry bag.
"Master Bai, please reconsider!" The doctor stopped and pleaded at him however Nathan's expression beca cold and scary which made everyone felt the shiver down their spine.
Nathan was beyond mad. They're afraid it would be the end of their life if their Lady Boss's condition worsen.
"It's your fault that my wife was in this situation. You gave her the false hope that eating it would be okay because of this stupid dicine that you're talking about! If sothing happens to my wife and child, I would never let you off!" Nathan spat and asked his n to get the doctor away from them.
With no more interruptions, Nathan then opened the first-aid kit and took the stainless steel syringe which was already ready to use and nervously pierced it to her arm.
In Nathan's mind, he could not take to lose his wife. He could not afford to lose both of them either.
If worst cos to worst, he will always choose her over his own child.
In his defense, Kim Eunji's his life support. His life source. If he lose her, a big part of him will die, too.
Though the thought of losing their unborn child was very painful for him too, he and Kim Eunji could still have another child whenever they were ready in the future.
'Is this the punishnt that the heavens had granted upon because of my irresponsible actions in the past?' He asked himself after giving Kim Eunji a small dose of her shot hoping that it would still work.
Just like magic, seconds after, those red spots stopped from spreading all through out her body which was a good sign.
Her body temperature also gradually dropped and her breathing slowly beca stable.
Nathan heaved a sigh as he watched her getting okay then better in his arms.
Nathan then heaved a huge sigh of relief. He could finally let go of his breath that he didn't know he had been holding since this whole fiasco happened.
"Starting today, no more seafood or fish or chicken or nuts or eggs being served in front of my wife! Understand?!" Nathan reminded his people.
"Yes Master Bai!" Everyone answered.
"Gosh! What should I do with you?" Nathan gently asked her as he gently caressed her shiny hair.
Due to exhaustion, Kim Eunji had fallen asleep while the shot was doing its magic
The danger was still not over.
Nathan knew Kim Eunji was allergic to hospitals as well so he decided to phone the gynecologist who checked on his wife the last ti and asked if he could co as fast as he could to check on the condition of the baby.
The latter responded that he would arrive in an our…maximum.
He also phoned his trusted friend who was a well-known OB-GYNE and asked her to go with his n who will fetch her from her place and will airlift her to reach them as soon as possible.
Kim Eunji's breathing had finally cald down but Nathan still decided to hug her.
Today, he had just experienced the biggest scare in his life.
Who said Satan didn't know what scare or fright was?
He did too.
Nathan was hoping that he would never encounter situations like this in the future where in he had to choose between his wife and their child.
