Chapter 464
Thinking of Leah, her heart suddenly filled with pain. She had put up with Leah’s nagging for over
twenty years. Now, the woman she loathed to the core turned out to be her real mom? This truth was a
tough pill to swallow for Allison. Her inner turmoil stirred like a relentless stormy sea.
She got up and left the ward. In the hospital corridor, Allison stood there, dazed. Someone bumped into
her, mumbled an apology, but Allison’s gaze was vacant.
She just kept walking straight ahead until someone called her name from behind. Allison turned
around, Dr. Dylan jogged up to her and said, “You left your cell phone.”
Allison took it, and Dr. Dylan continued, “It kept ringing when you passed out, so I answered it for you.
Your friend said she’s on her way.”
Allison glanced at her phone. It was a call from Emma. Only then did she remember that she had
promised to have dinner with Emma tonight to discuss the script for their next show, but she totally
spaced out. The shocking revelation tonight overwhelmed Allison and caused her to faint.
“Dr. Dylan, how’s my mom?” Allison asked.
Dr. Dylan replied, “She’s okay. Don’t worry. It’s a minor issue, but she needs to stay in the hospital for a
few days.”
“Alright, I’ve got stuff to do, I’ll catch you later, Dr. Dylan, Allison said. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“Allison.” Dr. Dylan handed her a box of candies. “You know you have hypoglycemia right? Don’t
overwork yourself, or your body will pay the price.”
Allison took the candies and said, “Thanks.”
Dr. Dylan smiled and said, “See you tomorrow.”
Allison left the hospital, called Emma back, and waited for fifteen minutes at the hospital entrance for
Emma to pick her up.
Emma glanced at Allison’s pallid face and asked with concern, “What happened? Is your mom okay?”
“She’s fine.” Allison massaged her temples and leaned back in the seat. “I need a drink.”
Emma said, “It’s late.”
Allison replied, “I’m beat. I could use a drink.”
Seeing Allison’s off-color face, Emma didn’t know what had happened, but something was definitely up.
Was it something about Ms. Grace’s condition? Emma didn’t press, and she simply drove to a nearby
bar.
She looked around, parked the car, and then walked into the bar with Allison. She wasn’t a fan of
celebrities hanging out in such places. Once Allison hit the big time, such outings would become her
Achilles’ heel.
Usually, Allison had strong self-control and wouldn’t set foot in such a place, but tonight, she decided to
let loose. Sitting in the bar, Allison took a sip of her drink, the icy liquid sliding down her throat. After the
cold came the burning sensation, but Allison just kept chugging.
After downing three drinks, Emma quickly intervened, “Don’t drink anymore. You’ll have a hangover
tomorrow.”
Allison looked at Emma, her eyes were like deep, dry wells, eerily silent. Emma got spooked, and she
quickly asked, “Allison, what happened? Is something wrong with Ms. Grace?”
Emma moved beside Allison, supporting her while taking the drink out of her hand.
Allison gave a bitter smile, shook her head, and said, “Emma, I’m really upset. I don’t know who to talk
to… why did this happen to me…”
