The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Care

When Allison woke up, it was already midnight. Thanks to the anesthesia, she'd been out for a solid six hours.

She blinked her eyes open and noticed the dim lights in the hospital room. Turning her head, she saw an IV needle stuck in her right hand.

Allison shifted a bit and felt a burning pain in her left arm, making her cry out.

Allison was taken aback, asking, "Mr. Carter, what are you doing here?"

Allison snapped back to reality and quickly looked away. It was the first time she'd been this close to a guy, and she awkwardly shrank back.

Seeing her blush, Alexander couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect her to be shy. "Are you hungry? Want something to eat?"
