Encounter

chapter 32

Forth's pov:

I looked at the dessert excitedly when they brought it. 

I could here p'Mark chuckling. 

I quickly grabbed the spoon and took a bite. 

The moment i swallowed it, i knew there were peanuts in it. 

P'Mark's eyes also widened when he took the first bite. He looked at me worriedly. 

I dropped the spoon and started coughing badly. 

My throat was burning. 

"Forth!" P'Mark shot up from his seat and knelt beside me.

My eyes started watering and i was having difficulty breathing. I started feeling light headed. Black spots appeared in my vision.

My ear were ringing. I couldn't understand anything p'Mark was shouting. 

I gripped p'Mark's shirt tightly with all my remaining strength before everything went black. 

Mark's pov:

My heart almost stopped when Forth fainted and fell to his side. 

I immediately grabbed him and lifted him in my arms. 

The waiters and other customers were looking at him worriedly. 

I rushed to my car and quickly got in after putting him in the passenger seat. 

I drove as fast as i could to the nearest hospital. 

I could see rashes appearing on his skin and he looked like he was having difficulty breathing. His lips were turning blue. 

I pulled up infront of the ER five minutes later. 

"Help! I need help!" I shouted the moment i got out of the car. 

Multiple nurses rushed out with a gurney. 

I lifted Forth and put him on it. They hurriedly wheeled him in. 

"What happened?" One of the nurses asked. 

"He's allergic to peanuts. The restaurant we were in put peanut butter in the dessert." I explained. 

She nodded and rushed in. 

I plopped down on one of the chairs infront of the ER after parking my car. 

"Fuck..." I gripped my hair and pulled at it.

Just then my phone rang. 

It was an unknown number. 

"Hello?" I answered the call. 

"Is he ok?" I heard Forth's mom's frantic voice. 

"I don't know yet. He's in the ER." I said.

 I felt my blood starting to boil. 

"I specifically said not to add any peanuts! Why the hell was there so much peanut butter in that?!" I couldn't help but raise my voice.

"The one who made the dessert ignored the request to not add peanut butter and made it with a lot of peanut butter. He said you are just being petty and that you were bluffing. I tried to warn you but they wouldn't let me out of the kitchen. There were too many dishes to make." She said. I could tell she was crying. 

"You're in the Vongviphan hospital right?" She asked.

"Yeah." I said more quietly. 

"I'm on my way now. I'll be there in five minutes." She said and hung up.
