The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 26 Heartbreak

In the hospital, the doc was patching up Mia. Her face needed disinfecting, and her arms and ankles, rubbed raw from being tied up, needed some TLC too. Mia, who used to be a real beauty, now had one side of her face all swollen and red with three nasty scars. She looked pretty rough.

While getting treated, Mia called Alexander. "Uncle, help me!"

Getting a call in the middle of the night, Alexander frowned hard.

Mia went on, "Uncle Alexander, I'm at the hospital. Can you call my parents and tell them I'm crashing at the Carter Manor tonight and won't be home?" Hearing this, Alexander's voice turned icy. "Which hospital?"

Holding back his anger, Alexander grabbed his coat and sped to the hospital. When he saw Mia's sorry state, his eyes went red.

"Who did this?"

Seeing Alexander's face, Mia got a bit scared and shrank back.

Mia explained, "Uncle Alexander, I... I was kidnapped. Allison saved me." Alexander was instantly livid.

When he saw Allison applying medicine, he felt like he couldn't breathe.

Her shoulder had a huge bruise, swollen and way worse than Mia's injuries.

When Allison finished with the medicine and saw Alexander, she said flatly, "Mr. Carter, I'm sorry. It's my fault Mia got involved. Sophia kidnapped Mia because of me." Alexander felt like his head was gonna explode from anger at Allison, so he walked over, grabbed her hand, and dragged her out of the ER.

With a flick of his hand, Allison's back hit the wall, making her wince in pain. At the next moment, Alexander was glaring at her. "Why didn't you come to me first?" Allison's face went pale as she looked up at him.

Allison said, "We're both back safe now. Besides, I checked things out before going in; I could handle it!"

"But you got hurt!" Alexander's tone was sharp with anger.

Allison looked at him, surprised. Why was Alexander in such a bad mood today?

At the next moment, Alexander pulled her into a tight hug.
