Chapter 679
A Life Debt Repaid
Cordy went upstairs again after getting another slice of cake. Just as she reached the second floor, however, a ruckus took place downstairs.
Cordy hurried downstairs, presuming that the Lynds were leaving and that she should see them off as well as a gesture of respect. At least, until she heard, âHelp! Somebody! Nanaâs in trouble!â
Cordyâs heart skipped a beat-what happened to Nana?
In that instant, she quickly strode downstairs. Just as she did so, Lucas entered from the living room, shoving his way through the crowd and cradling Nanaâs breathless frame in her arms.
Her cheeks were flushed and her breathing rushed-she looked like she could catch something terrible and die at an instant!
Cordy wondered if there really was something wrong with Nanaâs health, since even Jesse had been especially concerned about it; as was Lucas.
She appeared very concerned, completely oblivious that she had something to do with Nanaâs sudden condition.
Lucas cried, âGet an ambulance right now!â
âI already didâa chopper will arrive soon,â Nanaâs brother said anxiously. âI thought she recoveredâ¦
How did this happen? Whatâs going on?!â
Lucas did a simple checkup on Nanaâs body, his face dropping when he saw the red spots that had suddenly appeared on her neck.
âDid someone feed her mangoes?!â he asked furiously.
Everyone was left trading glances. Sean said quickly, âNo, she didnât. We didnât buy any mangoes today, either-we told the kitchen specifically because we know about Nanaâs allergy.â
âThere was that mango cake, wasnât there?â one of the Lynds suddenly said.
Sean didnât defend himself. Instead, he quickly called in the butler, who said confidently, âThere was a mango cake, but it was the children who specifically asked for it. However, you can be assured none of the servants brought it to Miss Lynd. I give you my word that nothing she ate contained mango. I was the only one who gave out the only slice of mango cake.â
The butler was staunch about his statement. Plus, after his long years of service, Sean wasnât about to mistrust him.
But with the Lynds with them, he didnât want to leave anything to chance.â Check the cameras.â
If it was the fault of someone from his family, they would punish the person accordingly.
If not, they would clear their name of any wrongdoing.
That was when Cordy announced, âI gave it to her.â
She was the one who took the mango cake at the time, and the butler was the one who personally gave it to her.
Knowing that she was giving it to Dicky, the butler had eagerly picked the slice for her.
However, she ran into Nana, who took it off her hands.
Cordy suddenly realized why Nana appeared so blissful and content as she tasted the cake.
But if Nana knew that she was allergic, why would she eat it, and so much at that?!
The cake had a very rich texture-she definitely wouldâve tasted the mango!
Everyone turned towards Cordy after what she said, with Lucas screaming furiously, âWhy would you give it to her? Donât you know that sheâs allergic to it?!â
