The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 230 Adalyn's SchThe nurse jumped and quickly went to find the head nurse. After a moment, the head nurse said, "Ms. Bennett just had surgery. If Mr. Carter wants to go in, he needs to be fully sanitized and wear protective clothing." "Then bringthe protective clothing, I'll change!" The head nurse handed Alexander the clothes. He went to the adjacent room to shower and change, then entered the ICU wearing a mask and cap.

Henry looked anxious. Allison was in tears, and Henry didn't know why.

"Leave it to me!" A steady voice cfrom behind. Henry turned to see Alexander fully suited up.

He instinctively stood up and moved aside. Alexander saw Allison's tear-streaked face.

"I'm here, don't cry." Allison responded with a few sobs. Alexander gently wiped her tears with a tissue and held her hand, calming her down.

"Is it because of the pain?" Alexander asked Henry, who shook his head.

"She's on painkillers, so she shouldn't feel any pain. But lying still like this can affect her both physically and mentally." Alexander nodded and softly comforted Allison. When she finally closed her eyes and fell asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Allison stayed in the ICU for a day and a night before Henry transferred her to a regular room. Alexander didn't sleep or eat during that time, staying by her side to reassure her whenever she woke up.

When Alexander finally left the ICU, Liliana and Jessa almost didn't recognize him.

"James, help Alexander to the lounge to freshen up. Jessa and I will stay here with Allison. She'll be fine." James nodded and helped Alexander to the lounge. After Alexander cout of the bathroom, James began to report.

"Mr. Carter, we have news about Adalyn. They're trying to escape to the border. Mr. Wells and his team are in pursuit, and Mr. Walker has also gone to support them." Alexander nodded and took his phone from James. He had given it to James to handle so he could focus on Allison.

Meanwhile, Landon was in a foggy forest near the border, with no cell signal, making the search difficult. "Mr. Wells, should we use a drone?" Landon hesitated before calling Sabrina. When she heard they were chasing the bad guys, she immediately agreed to help.

"I'll support you. Sendyour location." Sabrina's tone was serious, and Landon's heart tightened. He hadn't seen her in days and wondered how she was doing. But the priority was to catch Adalyn, so he sent the location and waited for Sabrina's update. Soon, her voice cthrough.

"Carl is nearby, Landon. You can meet up with him. I'll guide you." Landon followed Sabrina's directions and found Carl, who had been hiding there.

"Why did you suddenly cto the border? Did something happen?" Landon filled Carl in on Allison's situation, and Carl nearly lost it when he heard she had fallen from a building.

"Get Cleo on the line!" Carl's assistant quickly called Cleo, who almost dropped her phone when she saw Carl's number. "Hey, Carl..." "How could you keep Allison's situation from me, Cleo?!"

Cleo was terrified and dropped her phone, then nervously picked it up.

"Allison didn't wantto tell you, Carl! She's stable now, but you have to catch Adalyn. She's dangerous!" Carl angrily hung up and looked at Landon.

"Any updates? Let's share information." After exchanging information, Sabrina's voice cthrough again.

"I found them. They're by the river, walking along it. There are three of them, and one is injured." Following Sabrina's directions, Landon quickly spotted the three people. Two were injured, and one was being carried on a stretcher, likely Adalyn.

But something felt off to Landon.

"Why would they call the way here? If Adalyn is really injured, shouldn't they find a place to recover?" Landon's question made Carl and Sabrina pause.

"Letcheck. Stay alert!" Carl adjusted his watch to show the drone's feed. Sabrina released a tiny drone to fly to the stretcher. The feed showed the person on the stretcher was covered tightly.

"Scan for body features!" "Roger, boss!" The drone scanned the person and outlined a male figure.

The drone scanned the other two, capturing their faces.

"These two aren't from Novaria. They must be Adalyn's men. But why are they here, and why so secretive?" Landon's words made Carl uneasy. He suddenly shouted into his watch.

"Sabrina, leave your room immediately. Go to the rooftop, now!" Sabrina hesitated but quickly packed her laptop and ran. She still had her earpiece in, and Landon could hear her breathing, making him anxious.

Sabrina headed for the elevator but saw both were coming up fast. She decided to take the stairs.

Landon sensed something was wrong. "What's happening?" he asked. "Someone's coming up. They must be after me. I'm taking the stairs!" Sabrina panted as she climbed. Landon called Alexander. "Alexander, Adalyn didn't escape. Sabrina is in danger. She's heading to the rooftop." Alexander grabbed his phone and rushed out. James and the bodyguards quickly followed.

"Mr. Carter, what's wrong?" "Sabrina is under attack. She's on the apartment rooftop. Send a helicopter to rescue her!"

James nodded and led the team to the rooftop, where a helicopter was ready. They could reach the apartment in under ten minutes.

Landon calculated the time. "Sabrina, keep a steady pace. You need five more minutes to reach the rooftop. Once there, the helicopter will arrive in two minutes," he told her.
