Semua Bab BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR : Bab 61 - Bab 70

Alison stood by her aunt's bedside, her eyes fixed on the frail figure lying helpless in the hospital bed. Her aunt's face was pale and gaunt, her eyes sunken and closed. The machines surrounding her beeped and whirred, a constant reminder of the fragile state of her aunt's health.Alison felt a wave of panic wash over her, her breath catching in her throat. She was on the verge of tears again, just like she had been since she stepped into the room.her eyes welling up with a mixture of sadness and fear. She couldn't bear the thought of ever losing Megan, the woman who had been her rock, her confidante, and her best friend..who knows, if not for Megan's intervention, she might have still been stuck in jail, waiting for the end of her jail term.Officer Carlos was away on a job, and Alison had insisted that he not be told about her aunt's accident. She didn't want him to worry, she didn't want him to feel guilty for not being there, or rush down here.But now, as she stood by her a

Alison's eyes widened in shock as she stared at her Megan, who was looking around lost, like someone who had just set eyes on a ghost.Alison's mind reeled with confusion and fear. "Aunt Megan, it's me, Alison!" she exclaimed, her voice shaking with emotion. "Don't you recognize me? You took me in when I had no one and had to start from the scratch, you were there to make me feel human again"But Megan just looked at her, a puzzled expression on her face. Alison felt a wave of panic wash over her, and she started to scream. "Aunt Megan, please! You have to remember me!"Travis who had been watching both women for a while, shook his head before moving closer to them, trying to comfort Alison. Alison was acting totally babyish, and he found that extremely cute since that was a part of her that she never shows. She was bossy most of the time, and rarely got the chance to let her innwrchild out."Alison, calm down," he whispered, placing his hand around his shoulder, his voice soft and

Two weeks had passed since Megan's accident, and she was finally discharged from the hospital and was back in her mansion, getting better.Alison was relieved to have her aunt back home, but she knew that she couldn't stay with her forever. She had to return to work, and Megan needed someone to take care of her, probably a live-in nurse or maid.Uncle Carlos was still away, despite being aware of Megan's condition, and although Alison couldn't understand why he hadn't come back yet, she didn't have time to dwell on it.The last time she tried to find out why, she was told by Megan that he was away on a quite important assignment , and couldn't return until he was done, for security reasons.She didn't press too much on the topic, she was more interested in getting Megan settled back into her routine.Earlier in the week, Alison had hired a maid to take care of Megan, and she was relieved to see that her aunt was in good hands. The maid, Maria, was kind and efficient, she was the be

Seated on her bed, in her almost dark room which was only illuminated by the small lamp by the bed stand, Alison typed aggressively, as she thought about a lot.First, why wasn't Uncle Carlos back yet, despite knowing the nature of his lover's accident and then work…She yawned tiredly, slightly drowsy but she wasn't going to give in to sleep.., not until she was done with ironing out the documents she was working on.A notification caused her phone's screen to flash and she quickly gasped, staring at the time, it was already past midnight, precisely 2am.Not like she was really much of a deep sleeper, but usually, once it was midnight, by default her body system would shut down until 4am but now, she was still agile at 2am, just slightly drowsy.“I should round up and go to bed then,” she mumbled, and was doing so when her phone rang, vibrating beside her.“Weird…who calls at this time?” She yawned and checked the phone.Before she could stop herself, a smile broke out of her lips at

As Alison walked out of Travis's office, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her. She had made the right decision, she was sure of it. But as she walked back to her own office, she couldn't shake off the feeling that Travis was still going to be a problem for her.They worked together, he'd never hesitate to show her how much he cared, every single time. Was she really making the right decision?Meanwhile, back in Travis's office, he was sitting at his desk, staring blankly at the wall.He expected Alison's reaction, of course she wasn't the type of person who'd easily accept people back into her life after a fall out.He could see that there were still sparks between them, the jolt of electricity was still pretty obvious, and he wasn't backing out anytime soon. He was going to get Alison to fall in love with him again, and make her happy again.His mind was a thousand miles away, recalling the events that had transpired before his marriage to Raquel.He remembere
