Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 148

Joshua trailed behind Lillian as they headed out. Her words had him puzzled. He clearly remembered mentioning that a chef made the soup, following his grandmother's instructions, yet she insisted he made it himself.

Just as he stepped out of the hospital room, still pondering over this oddity, he caught a glimpse of someone standing by the door of the room next door. It was like he'd been hit by lightning.

"Allie?" Joshua's voice shook a bit.

Allison turned at the sound, locking eyes with him. Seeing Lillian in a hospital gown next to Joshua made Allison's brow crease slightly.

Joshua quickly closed the distance between them, his voice filled with urgency. "Allie, what are you doing here?"

She was in a hospital gown too, looking pale. "Are you sick?" he asked, grabbing her hand. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Allison lowered her gaze, her voice a whisper. "You've been so busy lately. I didn't want to be a burden to you."

A flicker of pain crossed Joshua's eyes. "It's never a burden. You're more important than anything else." Allison gently pulled her hand back. "I'm okay. Don't you have things to handle? You should go."
