Chapter 319

Lily knelt to examine the child, noticing his sweating face and neck. His back was also drenched in sweat, his hands and feet trembled, and red dots covered his face.

"He's having an allergic reaction," Lily said, beginning to unbutton his shirt.

"What are you doing?! Who are you?! Don't touch my child!" Helen shrieked, pulling Lily's arm.

"He's having a serious allergic reaction! If we don't act now, he could be in danger!" Lily shouted back, ignoring Helen's stunned protest. She wasn't concerned about Helen's anger.

Lisa intervened, pulling Helen back. "Lily's my friend, Helen. She's trying to help Nick. Don't worry."

Whether from Lisa's words or sheer anxiety, Helen's resistance ceased, though she continued to sob. Lily quickly removed the child's shirt, revealing a rash spreading across his chest.

"What did he eat?" Lily asked Helen sharply.

Helen, dazed, replied, "Just some bread and orange juice. Is something wrong with the food?" She glared at the servers standing among the onlookers. "If anything happens to my child, I'm suing you!"

This announcement panicked the other guests. Lily, ignoring the chaos, thundered, "Stop crowding! He can't breathe! Someone get a large glass of water—quickly!"

The restaurant descended into chaos. One server fetched water while others tried to calm the guests. Lisa, unsure of Lily's abilities, was reassured by Lily's calm demeanor.

Lily searched for something to induce vomiting, but found nothing suitably long and slender. Knives and forks seemed too risky. Without hesitation, she wet her hand, inserted it into the child's mouth, and pressed on the base of his tongue with her index and middle fingers.

"What are you doing?!" Helen screamed. "Are you crazy?! Get your filthy hand out of my son's mouth!"

The child retched. Lily quickly withdrew her hand, and the child vomited. The sour smell caused many onlookers to recoil. Helen was nearly sick herself.

"Server!" Lily called, ignoring the vomit on her hand. Lisa quickly handed her a glass of water. Lily gave the child small sips.

Gradually, Nick's condition improved. The convulsions stopped, though he remained unconscious. Lily finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Helen, covering her nose and mouth.

"He should always carry his anti-allergy medication. Where is it?"

Helen stared at Lily, eyes wide. "I didn't know he had allergies."

Lily fell silent.
