Chapter 48


    “Ah-”


    A cold instrument touched her body, triggering immense pain.


    Allison’s face turned as pale as a sheel, her pupils trembling.


    Her child…


    She had just found out she was pregnant and was about to lose the baby


    The intense physical painbined with the heartache made Allison faint….


    Allison was holding a bloody baby in her dream. Its cries almost piercing her heart.


    In a blink of an eye, the baby disappeared, reced by a cold–faced Lucian Stumbling towards him,


    Allison wept and begged, “Please please save our baby.”


    But the man remained indifferent, finally pushing her away harshly, one hand around her throat, “You’re


    not worthy of bearing my child!”


    She froze in fear, watching helplessly as the man walked away with Penelope, leaving only one


    sentence behind, “That child deserved to die!”


    “No!”


    Allison bolted awake, her body drenched in cold sweat.


    She tried to move her body, but the doctor said, “You’re awake; you’ve slept here for a day. There’s


    nothing serious, but you’ve lost quite a bit of blood After a fluid transfusion, you’ll be fine. Eat food that


    can replenish your blood when you get home.”


    Sitting up, Allison ced a hand on her lower abdomen, the baby was gone, and her heart felt empty.

    Seeing this, the doctorforted her, “Miss, you’re still young. You’ll have children in the future.”


    With a bitter smile, Allison shook her head.


    She leaned against the bed, feeling weak. After the transfusion, she barely managed to walk out of the


    clinic on shaky legs.


    Walking alone on the bustling street, she felt dizzy and sat down on a bench.


    Entertainment news was ying on an LED screen at the nearby intersection.


    “Lindberg Corporation heir, the mysterious Lucian, booked the luxurious Sunset Hotel in Northfield,


    inviting many guests to celebrate the birthday of his fiancee, the heiress of the nagan family..”


    Allison stood up.


    She walked forward in a daze, trying to get closer to the screen to see more clearly.


    Unconsciously, she ended up in the middle of the road. Amidst the blinding white lights, Lucian’s words


    before his trip to Ennd echoed in Allison’s


    mind


    He said, “Penelope, I’ll surprise you when I return” Was this the surprise he had prepared for


    Penelope?


    Augh escaped from Allison’s lips. The LED screen had moved on to other ads, but Allison’s smile


    deepened, her eyes growing dimmer.


    A car screeched to a halt beside her, the driver cursing, “Are you trying to get yourself killed, you crazy


    woman?”


    Allison snapped back to reality


    Just then, her phone rang urgently. It was Daisy


    Before she could even speak, a frantic Daisy blurted out, “Allison, Aunt Grace is missing!”


    “What did you say?”


    “My brother sprained his ankle and had to go to the hospital. I thought I’d check on Aunt Grace while I


    was there, but the hospital said she’s already been discharged. But Aunt Grace’s health hasn’t


    recovered yet; how could she be discharged…”


    Allison couldn’t hear the rest of Daisy’s words. Her face turned pale, and she immediately thought of a


    possibility


    Leah! It must be her She wasn’t reassured and had hidden her mother!
