SWNOVELS Chapter 94
Chapter 94:Well, isn't this a classic case of showing up for no reason.
Allison couldn't help but let out a cold chuckle at Colton's request.
She only had one pill left, enough for just one person.
Even if Kellan was gone, giving her to Lindy was impossible.
After all, she had made it abundantly clear on the day of her divorce: she and Colton were over.
Bridges had burned and roads had separated.
And now Colton and Lindy dared to ask her for help.
What audacity! I only have one pill, and I've already promised it to someone else, Allison replied flatly.
Colton, on the other end, clearly didn't believe it.
What a convenient excuse! If you're going to lie, at least be creative.
She insisted, her voice cutting the air.
Allison, regardless of our past differences, you can't stand by and watch my mother die.
She has never mistreated you.
For three years, he treated you like his own daughter…Allison pressed the accelerator harder and her voice became icy.
The label on this medication clearly states that it comes from MDH Pharmaceuticals.
Your family is not short of money; You could take a plane and get the medication yourself.
There's no need to grovel before me.
You think I haven't tried! Colton fired back, his temper flared.
The constant sarcasm had frayed his nerves, and his face was dark with anger.
It is impossible to get to that research institute! They are like a ghost: you never see them, you never hear from them.
I've been turned away at the door more times than I can count in the past few days.
They won't even give me a meeting.
He took a deep breath and tried to soften his tone.
They can't leave us hanging like this.
If you don't give us the pill, at least help me get the medication.
Allison laughed, bitterly and amused.
I had no patience for their nonsense.
You come begging for help, and you act so entitled.
Maybe I'm indebted to your family.
Over the years, I've gone above and beyond.
You know the address of the research institute.
If I decide to help, it is out of kindness, not obligation.
How dare you demand anything from me! If you can't handle this, Mr.
Stevens, make the effort.
With that, Allison hung up, ending the conversation without a second thought.
You.
.
.
Colton's expression twisted in frustration as he stared at his now black screen.
He tried to call back.
again, but Allison's phone had already gone off.
Furious, he threw the phone against the wall, breaking it into a thousand pieces.
The sound of Lindy's agonized screams echoed near him, increasing his sense of helplessness.
He was lost.
Bursting into the next room, frowning, Colton snapped, Mom, Allison lied.
She doesn't want to give us the medication.
Lindy, who was already screaming due to the incessant headache, exploded with rage at the news.
How could that soulless woman be so cruel, she screamed.
She used to be sweet and accommodating, but now she's showing off: an ungrateful and ruthless wretch! I treated her like family, and that's how she repays me.
What a waste of kindness.
The maids froze at the door, terrified.
Seeing their once elegant hostess so furious, they did not dare to breathe too hard, fearing that they would become the target of her anger.
Melany, who had been massaging Lindy's head, felt her body ache.
Her hands hurt and her eardrums were now nearly shattered by Lindy's screams.
Feigning innocence, Melany interjected: How could Allison be so ruthless? She treated her like family.
And now, in your moments of pain, he doesn't even give you a pill.
It's really cold.
Melany never missed an opportunity to undermine Allison, taking advantage of any opportunity to sow discord.
It's truly despicable, Lindy muttered angrily.
Not only does he refuse to take the medication, but he has even lied to.
.
.
Before Melany could finish, a cup flew past her cheek, shattering on the floor in a shower of glass.
I'm writhing in pain and you keep talking nonsense! Lindy screamed, her head pounding like someone was drilling into her skull.
He pushed Melany's hands aside, his temper rising.
Allison is nothing more than a heartless ingrate! He watches me suffer and doesn't even offer me medication.
His anger only aggravated his headache, and he screamed in misery.
He looked back at Colton, his eyes filled with burning determination.
Colton, I don't care what it costs, you're going to get that medicine from Allison! I can't take it anymore.
If you don't want to see me dead, then go now and get her! Unable to contain her anger, Lindy pushed Melany away once more.
Enough massages! Your hands are useless.
You can't even compare to Allison.
The more he looked at Melany, the angrier he became.
Not only had Melany not gotten the collaboration, but now she was also unable to perform those menial tasks.
What was it for? Melany's face fell in shame, but she didn't dare to answer.
She could only look at Colton with tear-filled eyes, feeling wronged.
I've done everything I can.
Colton, feeling a mix of grief and frustration, said, Mom, no matter how angry you are, don't take it out on Melany.
Lindy, her headache intensifying, looked at Colton's frown and Melany's pained expression.
It seemed to her that the two of them were flirting, completely ignoring her suffering.
In a fit of fury, Lindy swept all the cups and plates off the table, causing them to fall to the floor in a shower of broken china.
What good are you, he snapped, his voice high with pain.
I'm suffering unbearable agony and you guys stand there exchanging pleasantries! If you don't get me that medication, don't blame me for turning on you two!.
