All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Suddenly, Theo's face broke out in angry red rashes. His cheeks flushed, and his breath came in sharp gasps. His body twitched slightly—he looked like he was about to lose consciousness altogether.Carter rushed to his side and called his name a few times.No response.Without hesitation, he turned to Kelly, who stood frozen nearby. "Call an ambulance! Now!"As if waking from a trance, Kelly's face went pale. She fumbled for her phone, her hands trembling as she dialed.Around them, the restaurant fell into chaos. Other diners had taken notice, some standing up from their seats in alarm."Looks like an allergic reaction," someone muttered. "He needs emergency treatment right away. If they wait, he might not make it till the ambulance gets here."Tears welled in Kelly's eyes. "Carter, what do we do?"Carter's brow was deeply furrowed. He'd never seen Theo like this. He wasn't a doctor. He didn't dare move Theo, unsure of what would make things worse.He raised his voice, clear

Her eyes rimmed red, Kelly pleaded, "Sharon, I'm begging you. Stop it. If something really happens to Theo… what are we going to do?"Carter had her wrist clamped in an unrelenting grip, while Kelly stood in her path. Sharon's forehead broke into a fine sweat from the urgency.No matter how disappointed she was in Theo, he was still her son, the child she had carried for ten months and brought into the world. She couldn't just stand there and watch him die.Her eyes hardened.With sudden force, Sharon shoved Kelly."Ah!" Caught off guard, Kelly stumbled backward, falling to the ground."Kelly!" Carter's expression shifted, instinctively loosening his hold on Sharon to help Kelly.Sharon seized the moment and lunged toward the doctor performing CPR.Kelly caught the movement and shouted, "Carter, stop her!"But by the time Carter moved, it was already too late.Kelly turned to the crowd. "Is anyone kind enough to help? If we can save this child, there will be a generous reward

Matty's voice suddenly broke through the silence."She's not Theo's mom. Sharon is."By now, Matty had gotten to his feet. He walked over to Sharon and helped her up, his small hands gently steadying her."Sharon, are you okay?"Sharon looked up into his worried eyes, and for a moment, a sharp sting rose behind her nose."I'm okay," she said, though her voice came out raspy and hoarse, barely recognizable to her own ears.She gripped Matty's hand, trying to push herself up. But her body was still trembling, legs weak and unsteady. The moment she got halfway upright, her knees buckled again.Matty tried to hold her, but he was just a child. He couldn't bear the weight of an adult.Just then, a hand reached out and caught her firmly."Thank you," Sharon said reflexively, before her eyes met Carter's cool, handsome face.Her expression instantly changed. She pulled her hand away on instinct.But Carter held her wrist tightly. "Theo's still not out of danger. Don't you want to g

Sharon didn't quite understand what Matty meant at first.Matty said softly, "I just checked—everything Theo's table ordered was exactly the same as ours. Sharon told me Theo's allergic to nuts. But we did order a slice of nut-filled cake."Sharon turned her gaze toward Kelly, her voice cold. "Anything you'd like to say now?"Kelly didn't bother putting up a front anymore. She lowered her head and conceded, "I'm sorry. I didn't know the filling had nuts."Carter stepped in, his patience seeming to fray. "Sharon, do you have to go after Kelly like this? She didn't know there were nuts in the cake. It was Theo who saw what you were eating and insisted on ordering the same thing. This has nothing to do with Kelly."Sharon turned her eyes to him. "Fine. She didn't know Theo had a nut allergy. Then what about you? As his father, you didn't know either?"Carter avoided her gaze. "I don't really eat desserts, so I didn't realize cakes could contain nuts.""Desserts?" Sharon's voice sha

"You owe Matty an apology, Kelly," Sharon said.But Kelly didn't even glance at Sharon. Instead, she turned quickly to Carter, her voice laced with urgency."Carter, I didn't. I swear I didn't push him…"Carter's eyes flickered, and just as he was about to speak, Matty's voice cut in first. "Sharon, let it go. Don't ruin your relationship with Kelly and Theo's daddy because of me. I wanted to save Theo. No matter how badly I got hurt, it was my own choice."Daddy says we shouldn't use our injuries or sacrifices to morally guilt others. And Kelly is a grown-up. Grown-ups don't have to apologize to kids, right?"Coming from a five-year-old, the words carried a sting of irony that couldn't be ignored.Everyone present, aside from Matty, was someone close to Theo. And Kelly had always put on the face of someone wholly devoted to him. Yet now, the person who had risked his life to save Theo was standing there, wounded and wronged—receiving neither thanks nor an ounce of kindness from
