Chapter 38
Allison said, “You’re too busy, you don’t have to keep me company, I’m fine.”
Lucian retorted sarcastically. You always like to play these games, pushing me away and then pulling
me back. But this trick gets old, you know!”
Allison was speechless. Why did Lucian always misconstrue her words?
After getting her stitches, Allison’s back was soaked with sweat.
Although the injury wasn’t too severe, she had lost a fair amount of blood. The doctor told her to keep
the wound dry and eat food that would help her replenish blood. She was also told to change her
bandages regularly.
Seeing her pale and weak, Lucian frowned and asked the doctor, “That’s it? No need for
hospitalization?”
The doctor replied, “No, not for now.”
Lucian insisted, “Admit her to the hospital!”
The doctor was puzzled, “Well… there really is no need for hospitalization. The wound may seem
deep, but it’s properly bandaged. She can recover at
home…”
Before the doctor could finish, Lucian shot him a cold glare. The doctor wiped the sweat off his
forehead, thinking what an unusual patient he had? So eager to be hospitalized?
“I’m not staying in the hospital, Allison said, frowning. “If you’re feeling unwell, you can stay. But I
won’t.”
How strange of Lucian to insist on having her admitted to the hospital?
Allison stood up, thanked the doctor, and started to leave. After taking a few steps, she suddenly felt
dizzy. She stopped in her tracks, biting her lip as her body tilted backward. She fell against Lucian’s
chest, who swiftly picked her up and said to Shawn, “Go get her admitted”
“I already said I won’t stay in the hospital! Lucian! Put me down now!”
Lucian put her on the hospital bed. A nurse quickly came over to set up an IV drip for Allison. Lucian
took one glance and then turned to leave. The nurse smiled at Allison, “Miss, your boyfriend really
cares about you.”
“He’s not my boyfriend,” Allison muttered.
The nurse laughed awkwardly, I’m sorry, Miss. The gentleman has already paid the hospital fees. Just
rest here for a while. Ring the bell once the drip is finished.”
Allison lay on the hospital bed, recalling the events that unfolded.
That crazy woman was charging at her with a knife…
Gradually, as the medication took effect, her eyes started to close.
When Lucian returned to the room, he saw her curled up on the hospital bed, so fragile. His gaze
seemed to soften. He walked over to the bed and quietly sat down on the chair.
This woman always tried to get close to him, even crawling into his bed. Even though she always
pretended to be innocent, he knew her inner greed and vanity. But he didn’t seem to dislike her as
much as he thought he would….
It was an odd feeling, filling him with confusion.
Allison was discharged after three days in the hospital. Daisy had been worried about her. Allison
reassured Daisy that she was okay and video-called her.
Seeing her in high spirits, Daisy finally relaxed.
On the day of her discharge, Daisy dr ove her home.
Once home, she tidied up, quickly showered, and changed into fresh clothes. She put on delicate
makeup while looking at herself in the mirror, and her smile tinged with bitterness.
After that day, she assumed she wouldn’t have any contact with Lucian. Because Lucian was flying to
England in the afternoon.
She quickly transformed into Penelope’, looked at her bare neck, opened the drawer, and put on the
agate necklace she had been reluctant to wear. Then, she hailed a cab to the airport.
At the airport waiting area, Lucian looked at her affectionately, his eyes full of warmth, “Penelope, wait
for me. I’ll bring you a surprise when I return.”
A surprise?
She probably wouldn’t be able to wait for it.
