Chapter 38


    Allison said, “You’re too busy, you don’t have to keep mepany, I’m fine.”


    Lucian retorted sarcastically. You always like to y 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 regrly.


    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 re. 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 nce 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 nurseughed 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.”


    Allisony 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 rxed.


    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


    Ennd in the afternoon.


    She quickly transformed into Penelope’, looked at her bare neck, opened the drawer, and put on the


    agate ne 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.
