The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 153 Allison Being Taken Care Of

Allison's first night at Carter Manor was anything but peaceful. It wasn't the new place that bugged her, but the throbbing pain in her fractured shoulder blade. She'd overdone it during the day, and now her whole shoulder was screaming. She gritted her teeth and popped a painkiller, but it barely took the edge off. Just as she was about to call for help, the door creaked open.

"Allison, what's up?" Alexander walked in, looking sleepy in his pajamas.

"Why are you still awake?" Allison asked, but Alexander was already by her side, noticing the sweat on her forehead and getting worried. "Where does it hurt?" he asked, reaching out to comfort her.

Allison gently pushed him away. "I'm fine. It's just the pain from the fracture. I might need some more meds."

"Tell me what you need, and I'll get it," Alexander insisted.

After getting her answer, he threw on a jacket over his pajamas and headed out to the nearest pharmacy.

Half an hour later, he was back, but before going up to the third floor, he found Felicity.

Felicity rushed upstairs when she heard about Allison's discomfort. "Ms. Bennett, why didn't you call for help? Look at you, you're drenched in sweat. Mr. Carter, leave the medicine with me. I'll give it to her and help her change. The bed linens need to be changed too!"

Alexander nodded, ignoring Felicity's fussing, and went downstairs to get Allison a glass of water for her meds.

All the noise woke up Jessa, who was staying on the first floor.

She stepped out of her room, concerned. "Alexander, what's going on? Is everything alright?"

"Allison's not feeling well. I went out to get her some medicine. Jessa, sorry if we woke you. You can go back to sleep; Felicity's here to help," Alexander explained.
