The Billionaire’s Maid Bride (Flanagan and Allison) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 

The car door was slammed shut then. 

Allison sat up straight, eyes closed, not daring to look out the window. 

“Dr. Dylan, may the world be your oyster,” she said. 

She wasn’t sure if she had ever really loved Dr Dylan, but he had given her fleeting comfort once. 

Dunng her hardest times, Dr Dylan was always there, not caring about her status or that her mother was critically ill. He was as gentle as a spring breeze. 

A mocking male voice came from beside her. “Can’t bear to leave him, huh?” 

Allison opened her eyes and looked at Lucian with a cold gaze. “We’ve broken up. I hope Mr. Lindbergh keeps your word.” 

She hadn’t expected Lucian to actually come pick her up. 

The only reason she called Lucian was to make Dr. Dylan give up on her for good. 

After they had been driving for a while, Allison said, “Pull over and just drop me off on the side of the road.” 

The driver glanced back at Lucian. Mr. Lindbergh didn’t say anything, so he kept driving 

Allison looked at Lucian and thought: “Fine, if someone’s willing to take me home, I might as well go along with it.” She looked exhausted, her high fever had just dropped, and she was pale and fragile. She didn’t believe this man could do anything to her now. 

It was rush hour, and traffic was heavy. 

Suddenly, the car jolted, swaying from side to side. 

Being weak from the fever, Allison’s body lurched forward and then swayed to the left. 

Just then, a hand steadied her face. 

Allison almost fell into the man’s lap. 

The hand holding her face was warm. Allison’s cheeks were still slightly hot from the fever. Her hand gripped the man’s suit trousers as she crouched in the car 

The man lifted his other hand and pressed it against her forehead. 

Allison flinched 

Why had he suddenly become so gentle? 

He hadn’t treated her roughly like he had in the morning. 

Why had he changed so much by the afternoon? 

She was about to stand up when the car started again, jotting her face into the man’s palm again. A low chuckle filled her ears. Allison looked up to see Lucian’s face break into a small smile. It was as if he were enjoying her discomfort, with a hint of amusement playing on his lips. 

Allison quickly straightened up and sat back against the car door. 

The car moved slowly all the way. 

Finally, at 8 o’clock, they arrived at the Flanagan Mansion.
