“Allergic reaction?” Hesper was still panicking. “There’s nothing that he could be allergic to fiweet
potatoes?”
Hesper hugged Renfrew. Rickard asked her to calm down and turned to go get the car.
Fortunately, there was a hospital not too far away and the traffic was alright. The three soon got to the
hospital’s emergency room. The doctor quickly checked on him.
As expected, he did have an allergic reaction, but they were still trying to find out what he was allergic
to.
I’m a terrible mother…”
Renfrew was getting treated in the room. Hesper and Rickard couldn’t go in yet, so they had to wait
outside on the benches.
Hesper blamed herself because how could she not know about his allergies? It was fortunate that he
didn’t have a terrible reaction to it, but had it been severe, it could have been too late by the time they
got to the hospital, and maybe… She was just glad that none of that happened
It’s not your fault. I didn’t notice that something was wrong either.” Rickard hesitated and finally held
Hesper’s hand. “I took him for an allergy test before and sweet potatoes weren’t on the list. He hasn’t
had sweet potatoes for a long time, so it’s possible that he developed the allergy later on. We couldn’t
have predicted that, could we?”
Even though it was true, Hesper still felt terrible. When the test results came out and confirmed that he
was allergic to sweet potatoes, she blamed herself even more.
“Luckily, he was brought here in time. He’s fine now and the reaction has subsided,” the doctor said,
coming out. “You can go in now. Can the father come to get the medication for him with me please?”
“Alright.” Rickard let go of Hesper’s hand and quietly said, “I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay…” Hesper walked into the room and saw how frail Renfrew looked as he lay in bed. It was so
drastically different from how he was in the afternoon when he was hopping around catching snow. Her
heart ached.
“Ren…”
Renfrew was doing much better. He turned his head when he heard her voice and called her mommy
quietly.
Hesper walked over and held onto his hand that didn’t have the IV drip in. She felt terrible. “I’m sorry, I
should have paid more attention. I’m sorry for giving you something you’re allergic to.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“No, the sweet potato… was very sweet.”
Renfrew shook his head and smiled. “I’ll remember its taste. Even though I can’t eat it in the future.
anymore, I’ll still remember how sweet it was. I’m glad.”
After coming back, Rickard saw Hesper holding Renfrew’s hand, but they were both fast asleep.
He placed the medication on the table and took out the agreement that Hesper signed on the Ferris
wheel. He was hoping that she wouldn’t pay too much attention to the details.
In clause nineteen, it wrote that Ms. Rivera would have to agree to one condition set by Mr. Duval, and
that clause could not be changed.

In clause nineteen, it wrote that Ms. Rivera would have to agree to one condition set by Mr. Duval, and

When they were at the peak of the wheel, all he could think about was that he wanted to be with her for
the rest of his life.
The third round of the competition happened when it was coldest.
Situated not too far away, the town where the competition was held had snow too. Hesper could feel
the chill the moment she stepped out of the vehicle.
The greenhouse was saved. The flowers still bloomed beautifully inside. Just a layer of glass away, the
weather outside looked as if it was going to start snowing again soon.
