Chapter 836
836:
The twists of fate seemed to mock them with their cruel irony.
The vehicle hastened along the highway.
In the back seat, Dolores cradled Linsey, dabbing at her forehead to relieve the sweat.
She lowered the window, allowing the fresh air to flow in.
With a look of concern, Dolores watched Linsey struggle for breath, tears welling up in her own eyes.
Never before had Linsey’s allergic reactions been so severe.
However, her allergies had intensified after the births of Zenia and Zander.
At that time, the doctor had advised Linsey to be especially cautious, and ever since, they had taken great care.
They never anticipated facing such an accident today.
Linsey had merely tasted orange juice laced with mango, triggering a frighteningly intense reaction.
The thought of a higher mango content was harrowing.
Dolores, overwhelmed by guilt for not recognizing the mango sooner, let out a quiet sob.
It had been Collin who first spotted the danger.

“Dominic’s hospital is where we’re headed, right?” Dustin asked.
“Yes, have the utmost confidence in his expertise,” Collin assured.
Caught up in her worries, Dolores was jolted back to reality when Linsey squeezed her hand.
The sharp pinch pulled Dolores from her reverie, prompting her to glance at Linsey, whose expression had sharpened.
Linsey’s slight frown and gentle head shake were subtle, yet unmistakably intentional, catching Dolores’s attention.
As Dolores met Linsey’s slightly anxious gaze, she suddenly realized something important.
Realizing that, Dolores quickly said, “Isn’t there a closer hospital? Let’s just go to that one!”
Dustin turned to Dolores and said, “Dominic is an excellent doctor and is familiar with Linsey and her condition.”
Dustin’s words caused Dolores to grow even more anxious. It was exactly because Dominic was an excellent doctor that she couldn’t let them take Linsey to his hospital.
If it were revealed that Linsey had given birth before and that had caused her allergic reaction to worsen, Collin would finally know about the existence of the two kids.
Dolores knew within her that nothing could remain hidden forever, but she felt that now was not the time for this particular secret to be revealed.
Linsey was weak and unable to defend herself.
If Collin decided to demand custody of the kids, there was nothing they could do to stop him.
It was with this consideration in mind that Dolores made the decision not to let Linsey be taken to Dominic’s hospital.
