Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 842
Immediately, Arielle discerned that Corneliusâ soothing pills were unlike the ones sold on markets. The
soothing pills heâd created could also protect the cardiovascular system,
In a dire situation like this, it stabilized the girlâs body and temporarily saved her life.
However, these pills were sure to come at a hefty cost. A single glance at the coupleâs shabby clothing
informed Arielle that they must not be able to afford its price.
Arielle took her ATM card out of her pocket. She decided to pay for the couple as well.
âHow did she get like this? Wasnât she resting at home after her heart surgery? She shouldnât be
convulsing like this. Did she exert herself?â Cornellus asked the couple.
The woman was crying hysterically. Amidst her sobs, she could barely muster a coherent reply.
Her husband, who was much calmer, replied on her behalf, âDr. Mill, thank you for your generosity.
After the free surgery your sister performed on Jennie, she has been resting at home. We wouldnât
even let her leave the bed! She started convulsing out of the blue.â
Grimly, Cornelius checked Jennieâs pulse.
After a few seconds, Cornelius said, âJudging from her condition earlier, she must be suffering from a
severe allergy reaction. I asked the hospital to run an allergy test before her heart surgery. It turns out
that sheâs allergic to penicillin and honey. Was she exposed to these two substances?â
Jennieâs father shook his head. âWe are aware of her penicillin allergy. We have always made sure that
she avoids that. However, there are no bees near our house. She hasnât even left her room.â
âThatâs strangeâ¦â Cornelius frowned, deep in thought. âTo give her the right treatment, we need to
identify the allergen before her symptoms arise again. Think again. Have you missed out on
something? Maybe, a guest dropped by your house recently. We canât dismiss the possibility that a
guest might have brought in a bee by accident.â
Yet, the couple shook their heads again. âThere shouldnât be any guests. Every day, we work until
dawn. Save for your occasional visits to check on Jennie; no one will visit such a shabby place like
ours.â
All of a sudden, Cornelius noticed a number of red welts scattered across Jennieâs arm.
âThese are allergy symptoms.â He pointed at the welts. âTry to recall if something happened to her
within these two days.â
Promptly, Jennie roused from her unconsciousness.
âJennie! Were there any guests recently? Did a bee sting you?â her father cried out.
Sluggishly, Jennie shook her head as she tried to push herself upright. To her surprise, she could not
move her legs.
âItâs best if we send her to the hospital. The hospital can run a full medical check-up,â Cornelius said
solemnly.
âThe hospitalâ¦â An awkward look crossed the coupleâs faces.
Before they could reply, Jennie spoke up. âDr. Mill, we canât afford the hospital fees. Why donât you give
me a prescription? I donât want to burden my parents any further.â
Her daughterâs selfless words caused the woman to burst into tears again.
I am more than willing to pay for your hospital fees. How could money be more important than your
life?* Cornelius retorted.
âDr. MIII, we owe you too much. We canât keep leeching off your generosity. After all, you were the one
who paid for Jennieâs heart surgery. We canât bear to accept any more of your help,â the woman said
with teary eyes.
âThis looks like a tick allergy,â a feminine voice stated from behind.
