The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 84 Never Try to Wake Someone Who's Pretending to Sleep

Preston took off without looking back. He was still stuck in the country; otherwise, he would've been outta here ages ago. Hayden got so mad he ended up in the hospital, and Allison jetted back to Novaria right after. Cleo looked worried. "Allison, if you go back now, your dad's gonna flip out!"

But Allison just smirked. "I've already got Preston's travel ban lifted. He should be on a plane by now!"

Cleo's eyes went wide, and she said, "Allison, you're a genius!"

They sat there, chatting and laughing, while Alexander and James were lost in thought.

James asked, "Mr. Carter, should I dig into Ms. Bennett's background?"

Alexander shook his head. "No, she'll tell me when she's ready."

As soon as Allison got off the plane, she headed straight to the hospital. Hayden was old and had a weak heart, so this hospital trip was pretty serious.

By the time she got there, Hayden's condition had stabilized.

After checking on him, Allison told Jonah, "Jonah, don't stress. I'll write two prescriptions for Grandpa. One for meds and one for a bath soak. Once his blood circulation gets better, his health will improve!" Hayden had a stroke, and half his body was numb. Allison planned to visit daily to treat him, but before she could finish explaining to Jonah, someone stormed into the room.

"Allison, is this your doing? You're always causing trouble. Grandpa treated you so well, and you tricked him out of his shares and hurt the Bennett family. You're so ungrateful!" Yasmin yelled as she charged at Allison like a madwoman. But Jonah stepped in. "Ms. Yasmin Bennett, Mr. Bennett hasn't woken up yet. Please, this is a hospital!"
