Chapter 75
He barged into his study, fired up his computer, and there it was the info about “Allison” that Shawn had sent He’d already pored over it several times. Every single picture, every line of text, painted this woman named “Allison” as a vain creature, even featuring snaps of her partying with several guys at a nightclub
He gritted his teeth, the memory of last night’s meltdown staking his anger even more
How could he have taken an interest in a woman like this!
Today was the day Allison could see Grace Last night, Lucian had unleashed his rage on her, leaving her body aching all over.
She barely managed to pull herself together and by the time she arrived at the Flanagan family mansion, the car Lean had arranged was already waiting
She was blindfolded and led into the car.
Throughout the journey, she tried her best to identify the route from the sounds around her
The car took a turn, seemingly on purpose, only to swing back again,
With a bodyguard accompanying her, Allison struck up a conversation, I’m kinda thirsty. Are there any places selling water nearby? I could use a drink.”
Allison was pretty, and she spoke in a gentle voice.
The bodyguard didn’t refuse “Sure, just hang on. We’ll pull over.”
He got out of the car and when he returned, he handed Allison a bottle of water and a slice of strawberry cake, “Have something to eat. We’ll be at the hospital soon”
“Thanks.”
“No problem” The bodyguard was simply following orders – accompanying this woman to the hospital. But since she was beautiful and quiet, he found his job pretty easy. and his mood was good.
“Who’s the person in the hospital to you?”
‘My mother.”
“That’s a tough illness to treat. One of my buddies dad had it. Needed dialysis every day, but he couldn’t hang in there.”
Allison replied, “In this world, as long as there’s hope, we should keep trying. That way, we have no regrets.”
She took a bite of her strawberry cake.
This flavor seemed familiar
There were many places selling strawberry cakes, but this one was particularly rich, the strawberries were mashed and mixed into the cake.
Allison savored it carefully, then saved the rest of the cake and put it in her pocket.
About fifteen minutes later, the car came to a halt.
Allison got out
Inside the hospital
Grace was doing much better
She’d lost a lot of weight, but her eyes were brighter.
“Do you know how much it costs to stay here? It’s too expensive, I don’t need to be here, I’m better now, we can go home, Grace held Allison’s hand.
Allison’s eyes filled with tears at the sight of her mother.
How she wished she could take her mother home
But Grace was confined to her hospital room, under the watchful eyes of bodyguards. She had no idea Lean had her under house arrest.
Allison didn’t want this to upset her mother, so she comforted her, “Mom, don’t worry, I have enough money. Mr. Flanagan lent me some, and I still have a lot left Just stay here and take it easy. Besides school, I’m also working, and I’ll save as much as I can. So mom, don’t worry. But I might not be able to visit you often.” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“Silly girl, my illness is incurable. Even if I have surgery, I can only live a few more years…”
“Mom…” Allison hugged Grace tightly
Grace said, “I dreamt of your father and your brother the other day I thought they came to take me away. I walked with them for a long time, but I heard you calling me. I really couldn’t bear to leave you. You’re the only family I have left”
