At the feast, the banquet had already begun. As the protagonists at the birthday party, Nuella and Javier dance as the party opens in the middle of the hall. The two of them were so harmonious, that they almost attracted the attention of everyone present.
In contrast to the beaming faces of Nuella and Javier, when Valerie went in there, her face was very panicked and pale. He pulled a waiter and asked. "Where is the housekeeper?"
The waiter was slightly surprised by Valerie's presence. He recovered and said cold. "The housekeeper was talking to the Old Madam in the side hall."
Without speaking again, Valerie immediately left at a quick pace. It only took me a minute to find the housekeeper. He was reporting something to Gracia.
"Uncle."
Valerie's call made the two look over.
"Just Victor passed out, I asked you to come over there and take him to the hospital."
"What's wrong?" Gracia frowning.
Valerie tried to calm her breath. He tried to suppress the panic and looked at Gracia. "Mother, something happened to Victor. As he ate the cake, he suddenly fainted. There were many red spots on his face and skin. Looks like he's allergic to pollen again."
Valerie's gaze turned back to the housekeeper. "Uncle hurry."
"Good."
"Wait." Gracia stopped the manager. "The party is now in full swing, and the guests are already very full. Don't draw too much attention, and don't let them know not to affect the banquet."
"Good." He quickly left.
Valerie glanced at the calm Gracia, her heart feeling annoyed. His son fainted, yet he looked relaxed and free. Then he said not to affect the banquet. He actually considered the banquet more important than the life of his own son. Perhaps the most important thing for him is about Javier's party to be affected. Gracia is too impartial.
Seeing Valerie's panicked and tense expression, Gracia said lightly. "Don't worry. This is not the first time Victor has experienced this. When she was a child, she very often suffered from pollen allergies."
Still, Valerie couldn't calm down hearing that.
"Is the cake Victor ate your cake?"
Valerie nodded stiffly. "Yes." Yeah."
Gracia's expression did not change. "Did you add pollen to the cake?"
Valerie's surprised. "No! I already knew that Victor was allergic to pollen, how could I possibly add this?"
He also felt very confused. The cake was actually made by him, but why did Victor's allergy occur when he ate the cake? In fact, nothing strange. It's possible to add pollen to hurt Victor.
Gracia looked at Valerie. Although his eyes did not lie, but he could not trust Valerie's words completely. "alright. Well then, now you go to the hospital to take care of Victor. If there's time, I'll come visit later."
"Wouldn't you go now.."
"You know that this banquet has just begun. A lot of guests are sure to see mom in a moment. I can't leave." Gracia pressed her words. Her voice softened. "If you have a serious problem, call me later."
Valerie took a deep breath. "good. I'll go first, Mom."
***
In the hospital, Victor hasn't woken up yet. The red spots on his face had not subsided, his complexion was pale, and the spots were very conspicuous. Doctors said that the spots on Victor's face would not disappear for at least a week.
"When will you wake up?" Lucher's eyes were full of tears.
Valerie lifted Lucher to sit by the bed.
Lucher stared fixedly at the red spots on his father's face. Then looked at Valerie sadly. "Does it hurt?"
"No. That'll be fine." Valerie pinched her cheek gently. "Is Lucher thirsty?"
Lucher nodded. "I'm a little thirsty."
"Then I'll pour you some water."
Valerie took Lucher down. Then he moved and poured a glass of warm water. As he turned his head, he saw that Victor's lips looked dry.
After giving the glass to Lucher, Valerie picked up a cotton swab with a small container of water. Then he approached to the spot where Victor was lying. After the cotton was soaked for a while, Valerie leaned forward and bowed. He gently and carefully wiped his pale lips with a cotton swab.
Due to her close proximity, Valerie could see her gentle facial features. The red spots did not stop him at all. Once in the caeca, her thin lips became a rather light color. The shape of her lips was so beautiful that it made people want to kiss her.
Valerie's gaze turned to her thick and rather long eye book. Very dear, he is a blind man. She had beautiful eyes, yet was useless.
Suddenly the eyes opened. The inside is pitch dark. Very deep without basis.
Upon meeting those unfocused eyes, Valerie flinched and surged in fear. He quickly stood up straight. "Vi-tor.. You, are you awake?"
Hearing that, Lucher approached happily. "Have you woken up?!"
Victor frowned slightly. All she remembers is that she collapsed shortly after eating Valerie's cake.
Not getting an answer, Valerie felt anxious. "Victor.. do you feel uncomfortable? Is it still itchy?"
Victor closed his eyes. Although his eyes are not itchy, but his face and body are itchy. He reached out his hand to scratch.
Valerie quickly prevented his hand. "Don't! You can't scratch it. Your face is like that, do you want to leave a lot of scars?"
"What do you care?! I don't need it!" jolt Victor with a cold voice.
Victor shook Valerie's hand hard. Using too much power, Valerie's hand hit the edge of the cupboard next to her.
Valerie was shocked by the pain. His eyes immediately turned red in tears. He tried to calm down and stabilize his voice. "Alright, then I won't stop you! Just throw it all you want!"
Valerie covered the back of her flushed hand. He took a deep breath. Voice weakened. "I was the one who made the cake, but I swear that I didn't add anything to it. I don't know why that cake affects your allergies, but you need to know that I never meant to hurt you."
Victor lay still as if he had never heard his words.
Valerie endured the throbbing pain. He rubbed the back of his hand. Seeing her remain silent, Valerie explained again. "If I had the intention to hurt you, I wouldn't be so stupid as to do that."
"You are stupid."
Hearing her ridicule, Valerie laughed angrily. "What's the point of me hurting you?"
Victor's expression remained cold. He turned to Valerie and said blankly. "Have you forgotten that you used a trick before by giving my nephew drugs? It's possible that you did the trick again to make me die so you could be with Javier."
Valerie's surprised. He immediately remembered when he first came to this world.
