Chapter 0153
Judy’s POV
This was the scariest moment of my life. When Matt took a bite of the sandwich and suddenly, he was dropping to the ground, I had no idea what to do. I had never been put in a position like this before. His entire face turned red and blew–up like a balloon as he grabbed his throat; it was clear that he couldn’t breathe.
The only thing I knew at that moment was he needed an Epl–Pen, but Irene was completely frozen and did not hear a word I was saying. Before I knew what was happening, Gavin was bursting through the room. I hadn’t even noticed a mald was present until she followed him in; I was relieved because she went to get him without hesitation, and he seemed to have had an Epi–pen hidden in the parlor desk.
When Matt started to breathe again, my entire body relaxed, and I allowed the tears to flow down my cheeks.
“Call an ambulance,” Gavin growled at the maid. She nodded and rushed away to do as he ordered.
Gavin grabbed Matt out of my lap and cradled him in his own lap. He was breathing on his own now, despite the fact that his face was still very swollen. His eyes were closed too, and I wondered if he had passed out. I leaned against the couch, willing my heart to slow down and stop hammering against my ribcage.
“Who fed him peanut butter?” Gavin said through his teeth, his eyes red with fury.
I glanced
at him with a frown; he was glaring at me, like I had somehow did something wrong.
La
“W…what?” I asked him, my voice coming out as a squeak.
“I asked you, who fed him peanut butter?”
I opened my mouth to reply, but Irene spoke first.
“Judy made him lunch,” she said quickly, pointing to the sandwich that was now on the ground. Gavin grabbed the sandwich and sniffed it; his pupils dilating as his aura darkened,
“Didn’t Taylor go over these things with you? I thought you were given a list of his allergies,” Gavin asked, his tone rising.
“1…” I wasn’t sure what to say; I was dumbfounded. I didn’t put peanut butter in his sandwich. I knew he was deathly allergic to it. I would never be so careless like that… but I couldn’t really explain how the peanut butter got into the sandwich I had made for him.
“Dad, you have to do something,” Irene said, as tears fell down her cheeks. “She almost killed him. She can’t be safe to be around here…”
My heart fell deep into my stomach. I stared at her with disbelief. She was crying, but I could tell there was more to it. She was playing Gavin like a fiddle right now and I was on the other end of this cruel joke.
Why was she suddenly doing this to me? I thought she said we were okay.
I could hear the ambulance in the distance. Matt groaned, bringing Gavin’s attention to him. He wiped strays of damp hair out of his face, cradling him tighter in his arms.

“It’s going to be okay,” he murmured against Matt’s head. “You’ll be okay. I’ve got you.”
My heart ached; he thought I did this on purpose.
I stared at the sandwich on the ground, confusion consuming me. I reached out and grabbed a piece of the bread and gasped when I lifted it and saw the pear it butter in the middle.
How had this been possible?
I glanced up at Irene who was glaring down at me, hereyes narrowed. She was the only other person in the kitchen with me. But would she seriously poison her own brother? For what reason would she have for this? He was only a little boy and did nothing wrong.
“You hurt my family,” Irene said, pointing her finger at me, “You can’t stay here and be Matt’s tutor any longer. Tell her, Daddy!”
Gavin said nothing; he was still focused on making sure Matt was okay,
Irene turned to her father.
“She can’t be trusted, especially with Matt. Her careless mistake almost cost him his life. You have to tell her she can’t return to the villa!” She said as more tears streamed down her cheeks.
Soon, the parlor was crowded with different EMTs and gamma warriors. I remained frozen on the ground while Irene pointed her fingers at me. She remained ignored though while Gavin spoke to the pack gammas and EMTs.
“I’ll meet you at the hospital,” Gavin finally said after they took Matt out of the room. He turned to Irene and narrowed his eyes. “Go with your brother,” he ordered.
She bit her lip and wiped at her moist eyes as she nodded. When she brushed past him, she paused and looked up at him.
“She can’t be trusted.”
He said nothing; he waited until the parlor was completely cleared and the sounds of the sirens faded off into the distance.
Taylor remained at the doorway though, his arms folded across his chest.
“Investigate what happened in the kitchen,” Gavin ordered him.
“Um… Alpha…” Taylor said, almost nervously. “The camera footage in the kitchen had been broken for the last couple of weeks, remember? You never ordered anyone to fix it.”
Gavin let out a growl that sent a chill down my spine.
“Do I need to make you do everything?? It should have been automatically fixed,” he stated through hist teeth, his Alpha aura darkening as his anger grew more intense.
