The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 153

Lucian scooped her up and strode forward. When he reached the entrance, he told James, "Take care of these folks for me, will ya?"

"Got it."

James glanced at Randal sprawled out on the ground, his pain so severe he'd passed out like a fat pig. He gave him a kick and muttered, "What on earth possessed you to cross Lucian?"

At the hospital, the doctor urgently treated Allison's forehead wound, then turned to the grim man and said, "She's not too badly hurt. Her wound has been stitched up and she needs to rest. She should wake up by tomorrow."

"Sir, your back wound..." The nurse was cleaning her suturing tools when she noticed the blood seeping through Lucian's silver-grey shirt.

Lucian seemed unfazed by the pain.

"Let me treat that for you." The nurse offered.

The wound on Lucian's back wasn't long, but it was deep. The nurse suggested an antibiotic shot. All the while, Lucian's gaze remained on the hospital bed.

"No... no..."

Lucian closed his eyes to rest, only to be awakened by a woman's whisper. It was the middle of the night.

Allison seemed to be caught in a dream; her face was pale and sweaty. "No, don't..."

"Wake up, Allison. Open your eyes!"
