Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 151 I Am Sorry

In any case, Dominic’s plan did not sit well with me. I was still in favor of going to the hospital, where Shannon would have a better chance of getting the treatment she needed. With all their fancy equipment and medical personnel, surely someone would be able to help her?

Alas, Dominic just had to dash whatever little hope I had left. “Knowing what Quinn is like, I’m sure the medicine he used would baffle even the best doctors. Other than finding Shannon a man to satisfy her urges, there’s no other way.”

Upon hearing that, I felt even more conflicted than before. What am I supposed to do? If Shannon finds out that I got a man to sleep with her, she’ll kill me!

As if right on cue, Shannon started pawing and rubbing against me—a clear sign that her condition was worsening with every passing second.

I hastily flung her wandering hands away and patted her face. “Shannon, stay awake! Do you know who I am?”

Shannon stared blankly at me for a long while before mumbling, “Liliana? Liliana, I feel so hot all over. Quinn is…”

As her voice trailed off, I pulled her into a tight embrace and comforted her, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Quinn isn’t here. We’ve chased him away.”

However, Shannon ignored me and continued to squirm in my arms while complaining about how hot she felt.

“Shannon, you’ve been drugged,” I said. “What do you want me to do? Must I really get a man for you?”

I wasn’t sure if she could even register what I had said, but given how odd the “cure” was, it would only be right to ask for her permission.

“I feel so terrible… Liliana, help me. Please help me…”

“I want to help you, too, but the only solution is to get you a man,” I replied begrudgingly. “Shannon, are you sure about that?”

Even though Shannon merely grunted in response, it was good enough of an acknowledgment for me.

Okay, but what now? Where am I going to find a man for her? I can’t rope in any Tom, Dick, or Harry, can I?

Just then, I had a light-bulb moment as my eyes wandered over to Calvin. “Umm… Calvin, would you consider…”

In my eyes, Calvin was the perfect candidate. If I had to find Shannon a man, it would at least have to be someone trustworthy like him.
