Chapter 463


    The two only met for a brief second before Dr. Dn was off into the patient’s room, without even


    having the chance to say hello.


    Allison stood outside, leaning against the hospital wall with her eyes closed. Even though it was


    already night, the hospital was still bustling with activity.


    Doctors, nurses, and patients wereing and going. A nurse recognized Allison and asked, “Allison,


    is it your mom who’s not feeling well?”


    “Mhm.” Allison knew this nurse, but at the moment, she just wasn’t in the mood for a chat. What


    happened tonight was beyond Allison’s expectations, and she still couldn’t calm her emotions.

    She leaned against the hospital corridor, which seemed to give off a white glow. The busy people


    became silhouettes against the light. They continuously moved back and forth in front of her, and


    Allison felt her vision fade to ck.


    A familiar nurse shouted her name, “Allison-” Then, she found herself copsing into a broad, warm


    chest. Dr. Dn had just walked out of the patient’s room and caught her before she hit the ground.


    “Allison, Allison, what’s wrong?”


    Dr. Dn’s voice grew more and more distant until shepletely cked out…


    When Allison opened her eyes, she was met with a white ceiling. A strong smell of disinfectant filled the


    room, mixed with a faint, familiar scent. She sat up and found herself on a narrow bed, covered with a


    man’s jacket.


    Looking around, she realized she was in the lounge of Dr. Dn’s office. A screen separated the


    lounge from Dr. Dn’s desk.


    This must have been the nephrology ward.


    Allison sat up, feeling a bit dizzy. She checked her phone and was surprised to see it was already 9


    PM.


    She walked around the screen and saw her mother, Grace’s medical file, on Dr. Dn’s desk. His


    phone was there, but he was nowhere to be found. Allison nced through the file before deciding to


    leave. Just then, a female nurse walked in.


    Allison recognized her from her mother’s previous stays at the hospital. The nurse also remembered


    Allison. “Dr. Dn had to attend to an emergency. He’ll be back soon. Your mom’s in room 06, bed 3.


    She’s asleep now and should be fine, but we’re keeping her for a few days of observation.”


    Allison nodded and then headed to the patient’s room. Grace was already asleep, sharing the room


    with another patient, an older woman who was watching TV


    with the volume down.


    Seeing Allison, the elderly woman seemed worried that the TV might have been disturbing others and


    motioned for her granddaughter to turn it off. Allison smiled and said it was alright. Every patient here


    had their own ailments and pain, so watching some TV was their way to find a bit of happiness.


    Everyone was struggling with their health; they didn’t need to give up their little joys for others,


    especially since the TV wasn’t loud.


    Allison stood by Grace’s bed, looking down at the woman lying there. How did things end up like this?


    She knew she wasn’t Grace and Joshua’s biological child and thought that she was just someone


    Grace picked up on the streets, or maybe she was the illegitimate child of Grace and Christopher. She


    couldn’t stand Christopher’s hypocrisy.


    Allison had considered all these possibilities. But never did she imagine that she was the biological


    daughter of Leah and Christopher, and that Penelope was actually Grace and Christopher’s daughter.


    Now she didn’t know how to face Grace. Even though Grace was her mother, she also indirectly


    caused her life to fall apart.
