Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir by Ryker Helios

29. Is she going to be okay?

The paramedics who arrived at the scene manage to stabilize her a bit after asking me and the waiter who served us a rapid slew of questions, and immediately puts her on a stretcher and leads her into the ambulance.

“Is she going to be, okay? What happened?” I demand, feeling my heart racing in my chest “where are you taking her?!”

The woman EMT of the pair that came from the ambulance turns to me, holding her hands up. “Sir, you need to calm down. Your friend just had a severe allergic reaction to a spice present in the sauce of the pizza topping she ordered, which is why we took samples of the food to determine what exactly she had a reaction to. We need to take her to the hospital to treat her further.”

“I’m coming with you,” I tell her.

“Alright, you can follow us. We’re taking her to Clandestine General Hospital. However, you better notify and come with her family.”

“Yes, yes, of course. I will be there, and I’ll call her parents.”

“Of course, sir, we have to go now.”

The EMTs get into the ambulance and race away, leaving a bewildered crowd in its wake. As I stand there, trying to wrap my head around what just happened, the cook, the manager, and the waiter of the pizza joint approach me.

“We are so sorry for what happened, sir,” the manager says, looking downright terrified. “Nothing like this has ever happened here before, and we assure you that the quality of our products is the best-”

But I wave my hand at me. “It’s not your fault. None of you guys. She just had an allergy. It happens, and she didn’t tell you about any allergies she had either.”

“Nevertheless, sir, we are sorry,” the cook joins, looking devastated, “I take pride in making food to the best of my ability, and to have my own creations hurt someone like that…”

“The pizza is on the house, sir,” the manager is quick to add, “as well as the drinks. Everything is.”
