The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 229 Vomited Blood in Fright Cleo was freaking out. Despite everything, Allison was still seriously hurt. They rushed into the room and saw Allison with bloodshot eyes, coughing up blood. Sabrina was so scared she almost collapsed.

"Allison! Mr. Carter, this is too much! How could you hit her?" Alexander's hands were shaking with rage. Cleo quickly got Henry, who checked on Allison and gave Alexander a weird look.

"Did you really hit her, Alexander? Allison's lung got punctured by a broken rib. I can't believe you'd do something like that." Alexander was livid, his gaze intense. "Do you really think I'd lay a hand on her?" Henry shook his head. "Of course not, but it sure looks like domestic abuse." "Allison needs surgery. I don't care about your issues right now; I need to save her!" Allison was wheeled into the operating room and put on a ventilator. Alexander stood outside, his scalp tingling with anxiety.

Liliana and Jessa rushed over and were told by a nurse that Alexander had beaten Allison so badly she needed surgery.

"Alexander, what the hell is going on? Did you really hit Allison? Are you out of your mind?" Alexander stood at the door of the operating room, cold sweat dripping down his back. His only concern was Allison's safety, not what others thought of him.

From the moment Allison coughed up blood, Alexander regretted everything. He adored her so much; why did he lose his temper? After a four-hour surgery, Henry cout to inform everyone that it was a success. The tension outside eased. Drenched in sweat, Alexander quickly asked Henry, "When can she be moved to a room?" "Allison has multiple fractures and can't handle any emotional stress. I've placed her in the ICU. Alexander, control your emotions. I'll have the nurses take good care of her." Henry's words infuriated Jessa, who walked over and slapped Alexander.

"Alexander, as a man of the Carter family, you're unbelievable! Allison is in such a state, and you still upset her to the point of coughing up blood. What happened to your promise to take care of her for life? Look at what you've done. I'm so furious with you!" Liliana quickly pulled Jessa back, then looked at Alexander with concern. "Alexander, Jessa and I don't know what happened, but you shouldn't have treated Allison like that. You need to understand, it's hard to win a woman's heart, but easy to break it. Calm down; Jessa and I will take care of things here." Alexander remained silent in the hallway. Liliana sighed, knowing he was stubborn. He probably didn't mean to argue with Allison, but seeing her hurt, he couldn't help but worry.

Moreover, Alexander was reserved and rarely showed his true feelings, so he likely didn't have a kind expression in front of Allison, which understandably scared her into coughing up blood.

Henry watched from the side, rubbed his nose, and quietly left.

He hadn't even left the ward when Declan grabbed him by the collar.

"Henry, why are you in such a rush? Did you mess up or something?" Lost in the world of this story? Make sure you're on Ñe5sto catch every twist and turn.

What really happened with Allison coughing up blood?" Nearly choked by Declan, Henry gasped, "Last night, in the rush to save her, we missed a broken rib. The X-rays didn't catch it. When Alexander startled her, the rib punctured her lung. It's not my fault!" Declan finally let go of Henry, kicking him away.

Turning back, he saw Alexander smoking in the hallway, which was unusual.

"I thought you quit. Why are you smoking again?" Declan teased, lighting a cigarette himself. Alexander remained silent, making Declan feel awkward.

"Alexander, I know you didn't mean it. You care too much about Allison to hurt her. How about we find the person who hurt Ms. Bennett and give them a good beating?" Alexander's gaze turned murderous. "You haven't caught them yet?" Declan felt a pang of anxiety. Though he suggested changing the subject, it seemed to have backfired.

"Ms. Bennett shot down Adalyn's helicopter, but by the twe got there, they had escaped. There was a lot of blood at the scene, so they're definitely injured. I've sent people to search, but no news yet." Lost in the world of this story? Make sure you're on Ñe5sto catch every twist and turn. The next chapter awaits, exclusively on our site. Dive in now! Alexander crushed his cigarette butt and told Declan, "Have people check hospitals and clinics, especially the small, inconspicuous ones. Also, ask around if anyone has bought a large amount of bandages and wound care supplies recently."

Declan nodded and hurried to make calls. Alexander returned to the ward, standing outside the ICU, watching Allison, who was hooked up to various tubes, his heart aching. "Alexander, Allison will be in the ICU for three days. Do you want to go hand change? You're still in slippers." Alexander shook his head. "No need. I'll have James bringclothes. I'm not leaving her side." Liliana sighed, looking at Jessa. They knew Alexander wouldn't leave, so they went hto prepare sthings. After all, Allison would be in the hospital for a while, and they needed to bring her sessentials.

When Allison woke up again, her vision was blurry. Hearing the beeping of the monitors, she knew where she was.

"Ms. Bennett, you're awake. If you feel uncomfortable, letknow."

The nurse's voice was gentle, but Allison felt so aggrieved that shen couldn't help but cry. Unable to speak, she looked even more pitiful. "Ms. Bennett, please don't cry. If you're in pain, blink your eyes. I've called the doctor; they'll be here soon."

The nurse anxiously pressed the call button for Henry. Alexander sawn Henry rushing over with the medical team and realized Allison was awake.

He hurried to the window, watching Henry examine Allison. A nurse cout and told him Allison was crying, making Alexander even more frantic.

"Is there any way I can go in and be with her right now?"
