The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 108 Griffin's Words Griffin flat-out rejected Allison, which made Alexander pretty anxious. "Griffin, she's the one I like. I'm not giving up that easily, and besides, this isn't her fault. I'm the one who's into her. Protecting the person I love, even if I get hurt, is something I believe in." In front of Griffin, Alexander seemed way weaker. Even though Griffin didn't get too involved in the family business, he was the head of the Carter family, second only to Aiden. When Alexander was a kid, it was always Griffin who showed up for his parent-teacher meetings.

Griffin said, "Alexander, I'm not gonna talk about your status. You should know the Carter family can't accept a restless woman! Allison's great, but you two just aren't a good match!" Meanwhile, Allison happened to walk up to the door of the ward. She was about to head to the operating room, so she brought lunch for Alexander ahead of time, only to hear those words.

She stood at the door with the thermos, feeling like she'd just fallen into an ice bath.

"Griffin!" Alexander shouted.

"Alright, you're still hurt, so I won't say more. And I know, Allison doesn't like you that much. It's all been one- sided on your part so far. Men can be blinded by emotions, but I hope you can see the reality. There's a big age gap between you two, and she has a bad reputation." The thermos in Allison's hand hit the ground, and she suddenly turned and ran outside.

When James cback, he saw a thermos at the door of the ward and looked puzzled. He picked it up and saw it seemed to be the one Allison often used, so he brought it into the room.

"Mr. Carter, did Ms. Bennett cby?" As soon as James finished speaking, everyone's faces in the room changed instantly.

Alexander anxiously tried to get up, but the movement pulled at his wounds, which included three broken ribs. Even so, he insisted on finding Allison. Unfortunately, he couldn't move, which made him super frustrated. "Go find Allison and see where she is!" Alexander shouted anxiously.

James nodded, hurried out, but soon dashed back in. "Ms. Bennett is in the operating room now. I heard there's an emergency surgery, and because it's very difficult, Dr. Phillips asked Ms. Bennett to lead it." Alexander clutched his chest and struggled to sit up. So Liliana quickly went over to help him lean against the bed. Alexander then said, "Griffin, I've always respected you, but this time, you've gone too far! I'm the one who likes Allison, and I'm the one who pursued her. It's true that she's been passively accepting my affection. Maybe her feelings foraren't as intense as mine for her, but I don't care. Who says she has to love me?" He was really angry. Even though he was in a lot of pain, with cold sweat on his forehead, he thought that if Allison heard what they had just said, wouldn't all his efforts over the past half year be for nothing? He continued, "And as for her bad reputation, Allison was only thirteen years old back then. She hadn't even had her period yet, so how could she have had a child? The Bennett family already disgusted her. Just because she likes me, you all mock her? She's such a hardworking and brilliant person. It's always beenwho doesn't deserve her!"

Griffin didn't want to badmouth Allison, but since it was about his brother's future, he couldn't just ignore it. But he didn't expect things to get so complicated. Seeing Alexander's tense expression, he sighed. "Alexander, I'm doing this for your own good! Even if my words are harsh, it's just because I'm worried about you! I don't know much about the Bennett family, but if what you say is true, then Allison is indeed a good person. Since you've chosen her, you should give her a proper status, so she won't be criticized by others!" Alexander didn't say anything, but Liliana did, "Griffin, do you think Alexander doesn't want to do that? But it's Allison who hasn't accepted him yet. He's been trying to win her over without any success, which is quite embarrassing!" Liliana understood Allison well, and the more she knew, the more she felt for her. Although making Allison her sister-in-law would mess up the family hierarchy, she still approved of Alexander's choice. After all, Allison was a good girl, smart and capable, more than a match for Alexander, who was indeed a bit unworthy of her.

With that, Griffin sneered, "Alexander, you're usually so arrogant, but in the end, you're just a coward when it comes to emotional issues. Look at you!" Alexander shot back, "You're not any better than me. Who's the one crying over Jessa every day? When she returns to work in the country, I'll definitely have a good talk with her." Hearing this, Griffin was speechless, almost ready to hit Alexander.

Liliana, however, smiled. The Carter men were known for being deeply in love, and Griffin was famously afraid of his wife. Thinking of her sister-in-law, Liliana sighed inwardly. "Griffin, instead of meddling in Alexander's affairs, you should worry about Teddy. How long has he been in Polaris Frostlands? Why hasn't he chyet?"

Mentioning his eldest son, Griffin looked annoyed. "If he doesn't chome, so be it. I don't care. He ruined a perfectly good home, so he deserves to be stuck in Polaris Frostlands. And it's better for him to stay there forever, so he won't cause trouble here!" But thinking of his nephew, Alexander felt his temples throb. If he cback, the Carter family would indeed be turned upside down.

Allison finished the surgery eight hours later. The patient's condition was complicated. When they opened the abdominal cavity, they found that the cancer cells had already spread. In such cases, surgery was usually pointless, and other doctors might have just closed up and given up.

However, Allison was currently working on a project with her teacher and colleagues, targeting such conditions. They aimed to remove the tumor and use new drugs to control the spread of cancer cells, then use additional treatments to completely kill the cancer cells, which sounded easy, but was difficult to execute. After the surgery, Allison collapsed into a chair.

"Today was an eye-opener. Dr. Bennett, you're amazing!" Several medical staff members praised her sincerely.

Allison smiled, dragged her tired body to change clothes, but didn't go to Alexander's room. Instead, she went to Henry's lounge, lay on the bed fully enry's lounge!! clothed, and fell asleep, making James search for a long tbefore finding her. So James reported it to Alexander, "Mr. Carter, Ms. Bennett is too tired and is resting in the lounge. What do you think..."
