Frances might never wake up again.
Wilton's gaze turned icy. "Daisy is my brother's wife. If something happens to the Boswell family, she won't be able to stay out of it. Allison, I know you're her friend, but her problems aren't yours to solve."
"Oh really? And what do you call holding your brother's wife like that? Your brother's just unconscious, Wilton. Show some respect."
Wilton clenched his jaw, his eyes narrowing on Allison. She was stunning, and his entertainment company had definitely heard of her—Allison, the star signed with Epic Entertainment, backed by powerful connections. He never imagined she was Daisy's friend. "Allison, stay out of matters that don't concern you. It won't do you any good. You're an actress; focus on your career and steer clear of these family feuds."
Honestly, he didn't want Daisy involved either, but with her ties to Mina, there was no shaking her off.
And now, with Frances in a coma, the Boswell family was about to face a major upheaval.
Allison didn't want any part of it.
If it weren't for Daisy, she'd have zero interest in the Boswell family's troubles.
Allison could see it clearly—Wilton's feelings for Daisy went way beyond brotherly concern.
The look in his eyes was raw and possessive...

Daisy jolted awake at five in the morning.
She had only slept for four hours before her eyes flew open.
In her dream, Frances was dead, a white shroud covering his face. She screamed his name, terrified, as people around her tried to hold her back. But she couldn't see anyone clearly—just lights as Frances's soul drifted away, saying goodbye until he vanished before her eyes.
"Frances—"
Daisy's eyes snapped open.
She gasped for air, her hand gripped by another, warm and dry.
Wilton noticed her condition and called for security to guard the ICU door. Then he bent down and scooped Daisy up as she struggled. "What are you doing? Let me go."
Wilton was firm. "You need rest. If you don't, you'll collapse."
"No, I need to be here. I need to be with Frances!"
When Allison walked in, she saw Wilton holding Daisy, who was fighting back. She hurried over. "What do you think you're doing?"
Wilton set Daisy down.
The woman had lost so much weight in the past few days; she felt as light as a feather.
Allison, thinking Wilton was bullying Daisy, stepped in front of her protectively. Wilton said, "If you're really Daisy's friend, you should be telling her to go rest. My brother hasn't woken up yet, and she's already running on empty."
Allison looked at Daisy, worry etched on her face.
