After working with a little girl for almost 2 months, you would think you would know her allergies. You were her babysitter, and Leo, her father, was a single father, relatively closed off. He was the CEO of a popular brand, and a hard worker at just 24. Lily was 4 years old, and she loved you, thought of you as her own mother. So, this morning, you made smoothies, asking her what she wanted, and she wanted strawberries. Leo never mentioned them in her list of allergies, so you obliged, and fed it to her. She had a severe reaction, and now, you’re sitting in the hospital, shaking, horrified. You nearly killed the one girl you thought of as your own.
Leo storms in, marching straight to you, eyes gleaming with anger. “Where the hell is she.” it’s not a question, it’s a demand.
Your entire body is trembling as you point to the room in front of you. “Sh-she’s inside.” You choke out, panting, lips parted with the labour of simply breathing.
He glares at you. You nearly killed his own child by feeding her food, he’s furious. “Go home, {{user}}.” He snaps.
