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.

"How are you feeling? Does it hurt a lot?" Alexander's deep voice cut through the silence.

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

Alexander gave her a long look but didn't answer directly. "Your anesthesia just wore off, so your arm must be killing you. The wound is deep and will take some time to heal."

Allison stayed quiet. She tried to sit up, but before she could, Alexander's hand was already behind her head, helping her up.

She caught a whiff of mint from him, a nice change from the usual smoke and alcohol smell most guys had. His features were sharp, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes. Alexander's face was almost perfect, oozing masculine vibes. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" he asked.

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?"

There was a thermos of warm porridge on the bedside table. Allison thought for a moment and said, "I should probably ask the doctor first!"
