The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 293 If I Don't Take Risks, I Won't Get What I Want

Landon felt like his brain was about to fry. Had tech really advanced this much?

Alexander sat nearby, looking grim. His eyes were locked on Allison. She had just woken up and was already asking for Landon, which naturally pissed him off.

"Ms. Bennett, don't worry. I'll make sure Patricia is protected and that no one gets near her. But since she's not like ordinary people, how do we contain her?" Landon asked.

"Dwight's lab has a magnetic isolation chamber. Lock her in there; she won't be able to go anywhere!" Allison replied.

Landon nodded and rushed off to handle it.

Allison felt dizzy and lightheaded from the blood loss, her head buzzing. She turned to look at Alexander's dark expression and smiled. "Want to hit me? Go ahead, take your shot!"

"Allison, do you really think I won't?" Alexander asked.

Allison sighed, her head spinning, and Alexander's face seemed to blur in and out of focus.

"I know you're mad. I knew Patricia was dangerous and still let her catch me. But if I didn't take the risk, I wouldn't have found out what I needed to know. If I hadn't followed her, I wouldn't have discovered the unusual things about her." As she spoke, Allison's eyes closed, and she passed out.

Alexander was nearly scared out of his wits and quickly called for Henry. After examining her, Henry's face turned serious. "Don't let her see anyone. She needs to rest. She's lost too much blood and is very weak."

Alexander's face was dark, and Henry didn't dare stay any longer. He quickly left.

Even in her sleep, Allison frowned. The pain from her wounds was intense, but she refused to use a pain pump, worried it might numb her nervous system. For a surgeon, that was unacceptable.

If her nervous system lost its sensitivity, the precision of her scalpel would be compromised.
