Chapter 94: Well, isnt this a classic case of showing up without a reason? Allison couldnt help but chuckle coldly at Coltons request.
She had only one pill left, enough for just one person.
Even if Kellan werent in the picture, handing it over to Lindy was out of the question.
After all, she had made it abundantly clear on the day of their divorce she and Colton were finished.
Bridges had burned, and paths had split.
Now, Colton and Lindy dared to come to her for help? What audacity! I only have one pill, and Ive already promised it to someone else, Allison replied flatly.
Colton, on the other end, clearly didnt buy it.
What a convenient excuse! If youre going to lie, at least be creative about it! He pressed on, his voice slicing through the air.
Allison, regardless of our past differences, you cant just stand there and watch my mother die.
She has never mistreated you.
For three years, she treated you like her own daughter… Allison pressed harder on the gas, her voice growing icy.
The label on this medication clearly states it comes from MDH Pharmaceuticals.
Your family isnt hurting for cash; you could easily hop on a plane and get the medication yourself.
Theres no need to grovel before me.
You think I havent tried?! Colton shot back, his temper flaring.
The constant sarcasm had frayed his nerves, his face darkening with anger.
That research institute is impossible to reach! Theyre like a phantom never seen, never heard from.
Ive been turned away at their door more times than I can count in the last few days.
They wont even give me a meeting! Taking a deep breath, he attempted to soften his tone.
You cant just leave us hanging like this.
If you wont give us the pill, at least help me get the medication.
Allison laughed, bitterness lacing her amusement.
She had no patience for his nonsense.
You come begging for help, yet you act so entitled? Am I indebted to your family? Over the years, Ive gone above and beyond.
You know the address of the research institute.
If I decide to help, its out of kindness, not obligation.
How dare you demand anything from me! If you cant handle this, Mr.

Stevens, then put in the effort.

You Coltons expression twisted in frustration as he stared at his now black screen.
He tried calling again, but Allisons phone had already been switched off.
Furious, he hurled his phone against the wall, shattering it into a million pieces.
The sound of Lindys agonized screams echoed nearby, amplifying his sense of helplessness.
He was at a loss.
Storming into the next room, his brow furrowed deeply, Colton spat, Mom, Allison lied.
She wont give us the medication.
Lindy, already screaming from the relentless headache, erupted in rage at the news.
How could that heartless woman be so cruel? she shouted.
She used to be all sweet and compliant, but now her true colors show an ungrateful, cold-hearted wretch! I treated her like family, and this is how she repays me? What a waste of my kindness! The maids stood frozen in the doorway, terrified.
Witnessing their once-elegant hostess in such a fury, they dared not breathe too loudly, fearing they would become the target of her wrath.
Melany, who had been massaging Lindys head, felt her body ache.
Her hands were sore, and now her eardrums were nearly shattered by Lindys screams.
Feigning innocence, Melany chimed in, How could Allison be so heartless? You treated her like family.
And now, in your time of pain, she wont even part with a single pill.
She really is cold.
Melany never missed an opportunity to undermine Allison, seizing every chance to sow discord.
Shes truly despicable, Lindy muttered, seething.
Not only does she refuse the medication, but she even spun lies to Before Melany could finish, a cup flew past her cheek, shattering on the floor in a shower of glass.
I am writhing in pain, and youre still talking nonsense! Lindy screamed, her head pounding as if someone were drilling into her skull.
She pushed Melanys hands aside, her temper flaring.
Allison is nothing but a soulless ingrate! She sees me suffering and wont even offer the medication! Her rage only aggravated her headache, and she screamed in misery.
She turned her gaze to Colton, her eyes filled with fiery determination.
Colton, I dont care what it takes, youll get that medicine from Allison! I cant endure this any longer.
If you dont want to see me dead, then go now and get it! Unable to hold back her anger, Lindy shoved Melany once again.
Stop with the massage! Your hands are useless.
You cant even compare to Allison! The longer she looked at Melany, the more upset she became.
Melany had not only failed to secure the collaboration, but now she was also unable to perform these minor tasks.
What good was she? Melanys face fell, but she didnt dare respond.
She could only look at Colton with tear-filled eyes, feeling wronged.
Ive done all I can.
Colton, feeling a mix of sorrow and frustration, said, Mom, no matter how angry you are, dont take it out on Melany.
Lindy, her headache intensifying, looked at Coltons frown and Melanys mournful expression.
To her, it seemed as though the two were flirting, completely ignoring her suffering.
In a flash of fury, Lindy swept all of the cups and dishes off the table, sending them crashing to the floor in a shower of broken porcelain.
What good are you two? she spat, her voice sharp with pain.
Im in excruciating agony, and youre standing there exchanging sweet nothings! If you dont get me that medication, dont blame me for turning against you both! .
