The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 147 Joe Has Arrived

"Alexander, knock it off! Allison's in the next room, and she's wiped out. She needs her rest, so don't go bothering her!" Liliana snapped.

Eventually, they managed to pin Alexander down long enough to finish his IV drip before letting him leave his ward. The second he was free, he made a beeline for Allison's room. Seeing her almost brought him to his knees.

Allison, who was always so full of life, now looked pale and frail, completely worn out. Alexander's heart ached as he took her hand, anger flashing in his eyes.

"Allison's stable now, just lost a lot of blood," Liliana said softly. "Jessa and I talked it over. Once you're both discharged, you're coming home to recover. But if Dad finds out about this, he'll lose it." Alexander didn't argue; he knew she was right.

"But there's something else," Liliana continued. "For Allison's sake, we need to have an engagement party. Her status needs to be made public; otherwise, it wouldn't be proper for her to stay with us." "Allison might not want to move in, Liliana. Let's wait until she wakes up," Alexander replied.

Liliana nodded.

With Allison in the hospital and Jasper arrested, the Bennett family was in chaos.

"Preston, what are we going to do? Jasper's been taken by the police. They say he's involved in that chemical warehouse explosion. How is that possible?" Helena cried.

Preston looked equally troubled. "The police say he's involved, so what can I do? Why would he rent a warehouse and fill it with chemical waste? He's brought this on himself, and no one can save him!" Preston, not being Jasper's biological father, had no intention of helping him.

Moreover, Jasper was still under investigation, and the family couldn't even see him.

Helena, realizing she couldn't rely on Preston, secretly hired a lawyer for Jasper.

Allison woke up three days later, and even Joe had rushed to Skycrest to check on her. Seeing her condition, he was furious.

"Henry, you idiot! How the hell did you take care of Allison? I thought she'd be safer with you here in Skycrest. But look at her now!" Joe berated Henry relentlessly.
