"Clara, what’s the matter with you?"
Ethan noticed sothing wrong with Clara, so he quickly ran over and inquired about it.
"I’m... fine. It’s none of your business!"
She covered her belly and pushed him away, trying to act strong.
However, the excruciating pain was killing her. She was in so much pain that she almost burst into tears.
"Stop being stubborn. You don’t seem fine at all. And your face... your face..."
Ethan could not help but swallow slightly while looking at her face. He was flabbergasted.
"What’s wrong with my face?"
"No, nothing."
Ethan tried to help her up again. "We’d better get to the hospital now. I’m afraid sothing bad might happen if we delay this."
"You’re lying. There must be sothing wrong with my face."
She was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, and she could not even stand steadily. She let Ethan support her before she took out her phone and checked her appearance. After that, she cried out involuntarily.
"Ah!"
She saw that her face, which was reflected by the phone screen, was deeply swollen. Even her eyes and lips were deford.
"Don’t worry. I think it’s an allergic reaction. I’ll get you to the hospital now."
He acted decisively. He ignored her wish and carried her to rush her to the nearest hospital. He did not even manage to inform Joanna and the others.
When they arrived at the hospital, they went straight to the ergency. When the doctor saw Clara’s look, the doctor was shocked too.
"Oh gosh, why is your face so swollen?"
"Doctor, can I be saved? Am I dying?"
"You won’t die, but it’s too serious..."
When the doctor reached that point, the doctor inevitably glanced at Clara and nearly vomited. After that, the doctor worked hard to present a serious and professional front. "We’ll have to test the allergen first before we decide how to treat it."
After testing, both Ethan and Clara sat in the corridor to wait for the result.
"Hmm, it’s over. My face is ruined. I look like a pig!"
Clara covered her face and cried piteously. "As expected, my brother’s inauspicious remark turns out to be true. I can’t get married for the rest of my life. No man will want to marry an ugly woman like . I’m dood!"
"It’s not that serious. When the result is out, you’ll get better after they prescribe the right dicine for you."
He then patted her shoulders and said sarcastically, "What’s more, I think it’s pretty good if you look like a pig. How adorable! I like pigs the most."
"Ethan, that’s enough. My face beca like this, but you teased . I’m going to beat you up!"
Consequently, she was deeply infuriated. Hence, she started hitting him and teaching him a lesson while her face was still red and swollen.
While they were quarreling and fighting, she bumped into a person with her back.
So, she turned around to notice a tall man in a white coat that looked quite refined and handso. He even carried a gentle aura.
Clara imdiately covered her face with her hands, feeling like hiding herself once she’d t the man’s gaze for a few seconds.
"Clara?"
The man in the white coat was unsure, so he addressed her tentatively.
When he noticed her reaction, he imdiately affird it before he strode forward to catch up with her.
"No, that’s not . You’re mistaken."
While running, Clara waved her hands.
She wanted to find a thing to cover her face, but it was to no avail. Helplessly, she pulled Ethan over to block her face, fearing the man in the white coat would see her face.
It was because the man in the white coat was none other than the liar who played with her feelings. He was her first love and boyfriend, William, the top student in dical science.
It was not humiliating to step on sh*t, but it would be the most humiliating ever to bump into one’s ex while stepping on sh*t.
At that mont, given her swollen face, she seed to be in a sorrier state than stepping on sh*t. She did not want William to see that.
"Clara, stop hiding. I know it’s you."
William deeply cherished this rare chance to et Clara, so he sounded extrely agitated.
Ethan stood between them, and he was taller and studier than William. His body appeared like a large mountain before William. William could not bypass Ethan no matter what he did, so he beca very anxious.
"Mister, please step aside. I have sothing to say to Clara."
Helplessly, William pleaded with Ethan politely.
However, Ethan took up an annoying front. He arrogantly looked over William’s head. "Which midget is talking? I can’t hear him."
The assistant who stood beside William beca angry. "Why did you say that? Doctor Jones is an expert that the hospital hired at a high cost. He’s a truly talented youth. Of course, a ladies’ man like you can’t reach his height!"
"So, you are also admitting that your doctor is short, aren’t you?"
"He’s not short at all. He was five feet eight during the physical examination, and he’s five feet nine in shoes. He’s not short..."
The assistant looked up at Ethan, who was at least six feet and an inch, and stated with a guilty conscience, "But he’s not as tall as you."
Ethan appeared smug and looked at William, who was one head shorter than him. "So, I suppose calling you a midget won’t be offensive then?"
"Why, you!"
The assistant was so angry that he felt like beating Ethan up.
William waved his hand and stopped his assistant from speaking anymore. After that, he cracked a professional smile. "Mister, we hold nothing against each other. I don’t know why you harbor such great hostility toward ."
"No reason why. I simply find you an eyesore, shorty."
He then put both of his hands in his pockets as deep disdain erged in his eyes.
If it were not for Clara, such an insignificant doctor had completely no right to speak to him.
Clara stood behind Ethan and listened to their argunt. She felt slightly bad about it, so she gently tugged at his clothes. "Ethan, that’s enough. Don’t be too harsh on him."
"Didn’t he hurt you deeply? I have yet to attack him, and you already feel sorry for him," Ethan said ambiguously while tilting his head slightly and glancing at Clara, who appeared cowardly.
As a result, Clara was stunned. "How do you know..."
"What do you think?"
He grumpily pinched her ear. "Look at how timid you are. Will you be so cowardly if he wasn’t your ex- boyfriend?"
Clara was rendered speechless.
She felt quite awkward, so she covered her head silently.
She had an allergic reaction, and her face was as swollen as a balloon. It was humiliating enough to bump into her ex-boyfriend, but her crush just had to watch from the side at the sa ti. It was indeed so embarrassing that she felt like dying.
"Clara, your report is out."
A laboratory doctor arrived with a test report. The doctor said to Clara, "It’s an allergic reaction because you consud seafood with mango, so it’s a bit serious. I suggest you get treatnt from Doctor Jones. He’s an expert in all fields..."
"Let have a look at the report."
William snatched the test report from the laboratory doctor and read the test data on it. His frown grew deeper. "Clara, why are you so disobedient? I told you previously that you may be allergic to mango and seafood. It’s okay if you eat them separately, but you’ll get in big trouble if you eat them together, especially seafood. You can’t eat too much seafood, or else you’ll suffer from shock!"
"Are... you allergic to seafood?"
When Clara realized that she could no longer keep that a secret, she nodded weakly. "A bit."
"D*mn it! Why didn’t you tell ?"
Ethan realized the grave mistake he had made, and he was extrely guilty.
