I was his allergen she was his cure what if this allergen turns lethal? novel Chapter 56

Chapter 10

The next morning, I slept in for the first time in ages.

After a quick breakfast, I settled at my desk and started prepping for tomorrow’s interview.

Then came a knock at the door.

When I opened it-there stood Johnson.

And Jace.

“Mom…”

Jace’s eyes were pink like he’d been crying.

I frowned, confused.

“How did you even find this place?”

Johnson leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, cold as ice.

“Just wanted to see what kind of fabulous life you’re living without me.”

I rolled my eyes and started to shut the door.

He stuck his foot in before I could.

“What the hell do you want, Johnson?”

I rubbed my temples, already over it.

He snapped,

“You think I’d come to this dump if Jace didn’t want to see you?”

“Scarlett, have I ever left you broke?”

Say what you want about Johnson-

He was a jerk, no doubt.

But he never held back financially.

No matter how bad things got between us,

He always made sure I had more than enough.

Even after the split, I walked away with close to two million in assets.

I sighed and stepped aside.

“Fine. Come in.”

Chapter 10

But he was just six.

Kids don’t come up with that stuff on their own.

They just mirror what the grown-ups show them.

If I’d raised Jace myself-

If he still didn’t love me-then sure, I’d resent him.

But he wasn’t mine to raise.

Not really.

And the truth is, I owed him.

If I’d just had the guts to stand up to Johnson’s mom back then,

He could’ve had a mother who was there.

Not one who had to ask permission to exist.

As Johnson stood to leave with Jace,

He turned back at the door.

“You know something, Scarlett?

Sometimes I wonder…

Did you ever actually love me at all?”
