The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 78 Confronting the Shrew Allison frowned. Talking about death outside the ICU was a big no-no. Alexander frowned too and walked over to join her.

Mireille wasn't Hunter's real grandma, just the wife of his grandpa's brother.

She stood there while scolding Liliana and Mia, her words getting nastier by the second. "I told you to stay away from the Carter family. Hunter almost lost his life because of Mia. I won't let this bad luck charm into the Shaw family!" Mia had never been yelled at like this before, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Liliana was about to snap back when Allison cut in. "He's still breathing in there, and you're talking about death and bad luck. Ma'am, are you hoping for Hunter to get better, or are you wishing for him to die?" Vance and his wife, Thora White, stood there, glaring at Mireille.

Thora was livid. "Mireille, stop cursing my son. Lettell you, even if something happens to him, you don't get to decide anything for the Shaw family!" Mireille snorted, looking down her nose at Thora. "Doesn't matter what you say. We've got three sons in our family, and the Shaw family should've been ours ages ago. Even if Hunter makes it, he'll be useless! You should hand over the family assets now to avoid criticism when there's no heir left!" "Mireille, you're heartless! Hunter won't die!" Mia cried, and Liliana was heartbroken. Mireille was known for being a real piece of work.

"You little brat, how dare you talk back to me! I'll tear your mouth apart!" Mireille lunged forward.

But Allison stepped in, grabbed Mireille's wrist, and twisted it hard. "What do you think you're doing? This is a hospital, not your house! Even at home, elders don't go around hitting people. You may dress nice, but you're rotten inside. You seriously need to learn smanners!" If Mireille wasn't an elder, Allison would've broken her wrist.

Even so, Mireille's wrist hurt so much she couldn't lift it. She screamed, "Quincy, Zander, are you dead? She's trying to kill me. Call the cops and have her arrested. Tear her face apart and beat her up!" Mireille's two sons glared at Allison and moved to hit her, but she kicked them both to the ground. "Call the cops? Fine, I'll be here waiting! There are cameras in the hallway. You hit first, and I defended myself. It's called self-defense! Let's see who gets arrested, you or me!" Allison's fierce attitude scared Mireille, but she quickly recovered. "Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am? We're from the Shaw family. You can't afford to mess with us!" Vance finally spoke up, "Enough! Stop using the Shaw family's nto bully others, or I'll send you back to the countryside! Hunter is fine and doesn't need your visit. Leave now; you're not welchere!" Mireille shut up, clearly intimidated by him. She glared at Allison, then at Liliana and Mia, before storming off with her sons. As soon as they left the hospital, Mireille muttered angrily under her breath. "Damn it, once I get the Shaw family's assets back, I'll make you all kneel and beg me! That brat, why isn't he dead yet? Such bad luck!" With that, Mireille stormed off, and Liliana was so angry she almost fainted. Just then, someone rushed over. It was Victor, back from abroad. Seeing his wife and daughter, he quickly walked over. "Liliana, Mia, are you okay?" Victor was super anxious. When Mia saw her dad, she finally let all her feelings out and started crying.

Victor felt heartbroken as he hugged his wife and daughter. Vance and Thora felt a bit awkward since all the nasty stuff earlier had cfrom Mireille, a member of the Shaw family.

Vance spoke up, "Victor, take Liliana and Mia hto rest. Don't worry about Hunter; he'll be out of danger by tomorrow and can cback to Skycrest! Mia's a good girl; she even donated blood to Hunter. We won't forget that." Thora finally learned that Mia had donated blood to her son, and she was immediately moved. "Liliana, take Mia to rest. When Hunter wakes up, I'll let you know! Don't worry, Hunter's situation has nothing to do with Mia; it was an accident. Don't feel burdened by it!" Liliana was exhausted; she hadn't slept all night and had been worried all day. Mia had also donated blood and couldn't hold on any longer. Victor didn't say anything and took his wife and daughter to rest in a hospital room. Allison glanced at Alexander. "I'm going in to check on Hunter. Wait foroutside." Alexander nodded, and Allison changed into a white coat, put on a mask, and entered the ICU.

Hunter's surgery had been successful, but since he had been soaked in seawater, the chances of infection were high.

Moreover, the wound was too close to the heart, and the heart itself had a minor injury. Even a common infection could be fatal for Hunter.

After checking, Allison cout of the ICU and said to Vance and Thora, "I'll write down the nof a medication. Have someone go to Skycrest Medical University Laboratory to get it. It's a new drug my teacher developed. The finished product is relatively mild and is a special medicine from the lab. This drug has minimal side effects and will speed up the healing of the wound. I'll inform my teacher to prepare three doses." If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! Hunter's wound was already showing signs of infection, so the medication was urgently needed.

Vance was unsure and called in the military doctor, Valentin Dobbins. Valentin looked at the medication nand widened his eyes in surprise. "Ms. Bennett said she could get this medication?" Seeing Valentin's reaction, Vance understood. "So this can really save Hunter's life?"

Valentin quickly nodded. "Not only can it save his life, but it can also shorten Hunter's recovery period This medication is currently exclusive, and even wealthy people can't buy it!" Hearing this, Vance breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called his subordinates in Skycrest. An hour later, the medication was brought back.

However, Allison got an earful from her senior, Efren Britton. "Allison you're such a spender. Dreally think such as you've been ripped off. Do you know how much three doses of life serum cost?"

Allison held the phone and laughed at Efren's rant. "I'm doing this to save the grandson from the Shaw family. Didn't the teacher say the Shawm family had helped him before? I'm repaying the favor for the teacher!" "Nonsense! I think you've taken a liking to the Shaw family's boy. Lettell you, unrequited love is not love; it's self-deception!" With that, Efren hung up the phone, clearly in anger. Allison couldn't help but smile wryly. Efren was always like this, tough on the outside but soft on the inside. When Allison cout of the ICU, it was already 1:30 AM. Alexander was still waiting outside, with a laptop on his lap, handling work.

Allison walked over and said to him, "Let's go to the treatment room. I'll apply smedicine to your injuries."
