Chapter 54
He swaggered over to the liquor cabinet, grabbed a bottle of booze, poured half a shot, and downed it
in one go.
The spicy, potent taste of alcohol lingered in his mouth.
His fist smashed hard against the wall.
He had lost control!
He had fallen for a woman who tried to drug him, tried to possess him, a woman of extreme greed and
vanity….
Allison was already gone as the first light of day began to creep in the next morning.
She hadn’t slept a wink.
As she was leaving Magnolia Gardens, Lucian stood at the second–floor study window, his gaze fixed
on her.

Those tricks lose their magic when overused.
Lucian closed the window, and she was just a maid, how could he possibly fall for her?
But his fingers slowly clenched into a fist, as if he could smell that intoxicating cherry blossom scent…
That scent, it was on that maid.
He had smelled it on Penelope too.
But they were clearly not the same person…
After the miscarriage, Allison was left weak. She had to rest at home for several days before she
gradually recovered.
But she knew she couldn’t fall apart, her mother still needed her.
After her check–up at the hospital, Allison went to the small garden behind the hospital.
In the past, Allison would walk Grace here almost every day.
She wondered how Grace was doing now.
Leah said the kidney transplant would occur tomorrow, but she wouldn’t let Allison see Grace.
Lost in thought, Allison walked along the lake’s edge when she suddenly noticed a figure about to
stumble into the water. She shouted, “Watch out!”
She rushed over and steadied her, “The lake is right there…”
“Thank you…” The person’s voice was gentle and kind.
Allison froze as if she’d been electrocuted.
She had run into Miranda.
Miranda clearly didn’t recognize her and, somewhat frightened, patted her chest, “Sorry, I just had eye
surgery recently, and my vision hasn’t fully recovered. I’ve been stuck in my room for a long time and
wanted some fresh air. I could’ve been in danger if it wasn’t for you”
“Are your eyes getting better?” Allison’s voice was a bit hoarse.

“Much better, should be fully recovered in a few days.” Miranda smiled. She held Allison’s hand, feeling
a sense of familiarity.
During her recovery, her hearing became more acute
She cautiously asked, “Are you Penelope?”
Allison was on the verge of tears; Miranda remembered her voice after just one meeting
But she couldn’t admit it.
“I’m Allison; let me walk you back to your room. It’s not safe for you to be out here alone.”
“Allison.” Miranda repeated the name softly, still somewhat confused. Had she heard wrong? But if it
was Penelope, there was no way she wouldn’t recognize her
She stopped pondering, smiled and said, “Thank you, I want to walk a bit more, it’s too stifling in the
room. If I go back now, I’ll definitely be stuck there”
She spoke mysteriously, for some reason, Allison thought of Lucian.
Indeed, with Lucian’s personality, he would never let his mother do something so risky.
She hesitated momentarily, held Miranda’s arm, and said, “Let me accompany you Otherwise, it’s too
dangerous”
“Thank you!
