She had never been so embarrassed in her life. That evening she had been bragging to her family about her cooking, and at that moment, she was grateful that she had not told any of her friends about her firs attempt at cooking, but if she had told them, she would never have admitted to the food poisoning part of her cooking endeavor.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    "Where are you right now?" Eric asked hastily, not understanding how her family was unaware of La''s state if she was living with them.


    "I moved out..." La mumbled before gagging.


    "Send me the location. I will bring a doctor over right away." Hearing her gagging over the phone, Eric immediately hurried out of the bedroom.


    La hung up and sent him the location of her apartment. All she could think of was that she needed to recover as soon as possible; she had promised her father that she would go home this Friday, and if she failed to make a full recovery by then, she would not be able to go home.


    She did not want her family to know because they would be worried sick.


    Forty minutester, Eric arrived at La''s apartment with a doctor.


    La dragged herself to the door, and Eric immediately grabbed her by the arm, holding her up, the moment she pulled open the door.


    "Why do you look so pale? When did you move out? Why would you move out? What did you eat? Did you start experiencing symptoms now, or have you been suffering the entire day?" Eric helped her back to the bedroom as he showered her with questions.


    La was gasping for air. All strength was drained from her.


    "I had some meat stew... it was too spicy..." She felt slightly better after lying down. "Don''t tell Mom... I moved out today, and I don''t want them to find out that I messed up on the very first day..."


    Eric''s expression darkened and he simply turned to the doctor. "Do you have any medicine?"


    "Yes. You mentioned that it was


    I


    food poisoning so I brought some


    medicine that she can take to alleviate the symptoms..." The doctor proceeded to take some medication out of his briefcase. "Give her this pill right now." Be handed a pill to Eric. "I will give her an IV drip! That way, she will get better faster."


    "Sure." Eric took the pill and started looking for some water.


    "You can get water from the living room. My cup is probably in the kitchen."


    Eric hurried out to the living room. Though he was unfamiliar with the surroundings, La''s apartment was not very spacious, and he managed to find everything after walking around for a while.


    He poured a ss of warm water and returned to the room. As he handed her the pill, La could not help but stare at the clothes he was wearing.


    He was wearing a white t-shirt, an open button-down shirt, and a pair of white shorts.


    She realized that he had rushed over as soon as he had received her call. He had not even stopped to change.


    "Were you asleep when I called you?" she asked sheepishly.


    "Yeah. You should have called the emergency line instead of suffering because of your pride. It''s not like they would tell your parents," Eric said.


    "Are you saying that I shouldn''t have called you?" La swallowed the pill.


    "That''s not what I mean. I just don''t think you were thinking logically. How could you avoid the hospital just because you were embarrassed? What if your condition had gotten worse?" deadpanned. "If you can''t eat spicy food, you shouldn''t have eaten it in the first ce. You are not a child. How can you be so reckless with your health?"


    "Are you getting a kick out of lecturing me?" La felt much better after taking the pill and drinking arge ss of water. She was slightly annoyed by Eric''s lecture.
