Chapter 156


    “What’s so urgent that you’ve gotta take off now? Don’t you care about your own life? Look at that gash


    on your forehead. It’s already been stitched up a few times. If it tears open again, can you handle


    that?”


    She lifted her hand, lightly touching her forehead.


    Seeing that she seemed to take his words to heart, James hurriedly said, “Just chill here for a few


    days, okay?”


    James lounged around, waiting for a bit before Lucian returned.


    Lucian came back in a fresh set of clothes and looked at James in surprise, “What the hell are you


    doing here?”


    “You’re joking, right, Lucian? Were you nning on ditching me after you’ve used me up?”


    Seeing his pitiful, abandoned puppy look, Allison couldn’t help but burst outughing.


    Lucian shot her a nce and Allison mmed up immediately, suppressing herughter.


    At that moment, the nurse came in to change Allison’s bandages. The wound on her forehead had


    been stitched up and she could feel the sting when the bandages were changed. She bit her lip and


    waited silently for it to be done.


    As the nurse was about to leave, she suddenly turned to look at Lucian.


    “Sir, do you need treatment for the wound on your back? The nurse asked awkwardly, eyeing Lucian’s


    handsome face


    ‘No need.”


    James blinked, recalling how Randal had hit him on the back with a bottlest night. He probably got


    cut by the broken ss.


    Allison’s eyes widened in concern, “You’re hurt?”


    Did it happen when he was saving herst night? She was half–conscious then and her ears were filled


    with noise, so she was unable to hear anything.


    But she had a vague feeling. He was taking on several thugs alone. No matter how skilled he was, it


    was impossible to walk away unscathed.


    He got hurt because of her…


    She hung her head, feeling guilty. But then, Lucian’s dismissive voice broke through her thoughts,


    “Don’t overthink it. It’s got nothing to do with you”


    James rolled his eyes helplessly at Lucian’s attitude. How could he possibly win a girl’s heart like this?


    Allison was discharged from the hospital after three days.


    She hadn’t seen Lucian since that day, and she thought he hadn’te back. But on the day she left,


    the nurse said admiringly, “Ms. Zimmer, your boyfriend is really good to you”

    Allison turned pale andughed, “You misunderstood. He’s not my boyfriend.”


    “No way! Who else woulde to see youte at night every day and stay till dawn?”


    Allison was taken aback. Lucian had beening to see her every night?


    Due to her head injury, she had been sleeping early these past few days. By midnight, she would


    already be out cold.


    “By the way, is his back injury serious?”


    “Don’t you know?”


    The nurse looked surprised, thenughed, “He probably didn’t want you to worry. The wound on his


    back isn’t serious. It’s not long, but it’s quite deep.*


    Allison bit her lip. Despite his words that the injury was unrted to her, she knew he was hurt because


    of her.


    Later that night, around 10 pm, a man sat alone in a private room at the club with his legs crossed. He


    was the only one without a woman by his side. A brave woman gathered her courage and approached


    him.


    “Drinking alone must be boring, right?” As she spoke, she mustered up the courage to sit next to


    Lucian. Her soft handnded on his chest, drawing circles gently.


    This man, with his prestigious background and handsome looks, was the focus of all the women in the


    room. Yet no one dared approach him because he was too dangerous.


    However, Nadine was different. She was bold and the most popr woman at the club. She believed


    that, with her charming beauty, no man could resist


    her.
