When they arrived at the hospital, Raven was still in the emergency treatment room.
Melissa was waiting at the corridor like a child who had done something wrong. After all, she was still young and had been pampered all her life, so how would she have experienced such a scenario before? All her traces of arrogance had completely vanished, and when she saw Aristotle, she felt even more guilty.
However, Aristotle did not put the blame on her. Instead, he wanted to know what had happened as he asked, “What happened exactly? Why did it happen to her while you were shopping? Did the two of you walk for too long? Didn’t you just leave not too long ago?”
Melissa squirmishly glanced at Cynthia before she mumbled, “I don’t know either… I did hear that she isn’t that healthy, but I don’t know what kind of sickness she has exactly. So we went out shopping like normal people, but who knew that she would suddenly faint? At the time, I noticed that she was coughing so much that her face had turned completely red. I was shocked when I saw that and thought that she had asthma, but that didn’t seem to be the case either. That’s when I drove her directly to the hospital. She fainted the moment she got into the car. I think… She should be fine, shouldn’t she?”
Melissa did not have the courage to confess that she had taken Raven to walk on the longer route, plus they were brisk walking at the time. ‘If I knew Raven was so fragile, I definitely wouldn’t be so reckless.’
Aristotle heaved a sigh. “She’s been through this situation in the past as well. So long as she’s sent to the hospital on time and there’s no risk of her suffocating, she’ll be fine. I don’t think there’s going to be a problem, so you shouldn’t be so worried. Look how shocked you are. Raven can’t do strenuous exercises, nor can she walk too long of a distance. You’d better not ask her to go shopping with you next time.”
Cynthia was feeling a little guilty. “I’m sorry, this is all my fault. It’s got nothing to do with Millie.”
Melissa was afraid that Cynthia would accidentally give the slip, so she hurriedly neutralized the situation. “How’s this got to do with you? I was the one who insisted on dragging her to shop with me. If something really does happen, it’s my problem!”
