Chapter 210

Allison stood in the garden, absentmindedly fiddling with the leaves of severgreen plant. "Something's

cup at home, so | can't go out for the next few days."

Joy, respecting her privacy, didn't press further. "Alright, I'll go pick her up myself. Do you have any message for

Peyton?"

In a gentle tone, Allison said, "Wish her a speedy recovery and lots of happiness from me. I'll send you some

money to get her a gift."

Joy quickly waved it off, "It's okay, really. I've still got plenty left from the last tyou sentsome."

"Alright, if you say so."

Later that evening, Allison got a call from her dad, Javier. "Allie, Lizzy's birthday is the day after tomorrow, and

it's a Saturday. We've booked a place at a hotel for her party. Make sure you cfor dinner."

Allison hesitated. She had promised Joshua she wouldn't step out for a few days. She wanted to be there for her

sister's birthday, but she couldn't risk it. Who knew what that maniac Chris might do? She couldn't gamble with

her safety.

"I can't, Dad. | have a business trip out of town on Saturday."

Javier was surprised by her response and paused. "Is it really that important? Can't you skip it or have someone

cover for you? You know how much Lizzy adores you. If you miss her birthday, she'll be devastated."

Javier sighed heavily. "Since the kidnapping, Lizzy's been struggling. | took her to therapy, and she's just starting

to get better. The doctor says she needs family around her. Even though her mom's with her every day, she

keeps asking for you. Can't you chto see her?"

Allison's heart ached with guilt. Lizzy was her beloved little sister, and after the kidnapping, Allison herself had

been plagued by nightmares and sleepless nights.

"I..." Allison wavered. Visiting Lizzy could really help her heal, but the thought of Chris, that madman, made her

firm in her refusal.

"I'm sorry, Dad. | really can't make it this Saturday."

"Alright," Javier sighed and hung up.

Allison stood by the window, feeling a weight on her shoulders. Why was Chris targeting her? They had no

history.

Was it really because, as Joshua said, she was his only vulnerability? How much longer would she be stuck in this

villa?

Saturday came, and Allison was jolted awake by her ringing phone. It

buzzed insistently on the tand,

and after it went to voicemail, it started ringing again.

Without opening her eyes, she reached out, grabbed the phone, and answered

groggily. "Hello, who is this?"

"Allie, something's happened to your dad!" It was the Owens family's housekeeper.

"What happened?"

A white BMW skidded to a stop in the hospital's open parking lot. Allison jumped out and sprinted towards the

entrance. The housekeeper had told her that

during Lizzy's birthday party Javier had a sudden fall down the stairs and was now in the ER.

Hearing this, Allison felt the world spin, nearly collapsing with shock. In her panic, she forgot all about Chris,

grabbed her keys, and out the

door.
