Chapter 95:

Colton lowered his head and murmured, "I understand." He knew Lindy's temperament well. When his illness worsened, he became a storm of irritability. For now, he had no choice but to leave with Melany, planning to get the medicine later.

Melany looked at him, feigning compassion. "Colton, Lindy's headache must be unbearable right now. Why don't we go to Allison's house to get the medication? It's a life-or-death situation. We can't afford to wait." His innocent demeanor hid a darker hope. Deep down, he secretly wished Lindy would suffer a little more, but in front of Colton, he had to maintain his mask of worry.

Colton took a deep breath. "Yes, we have no other options. Whether she likes it or not, Allison will give us the medicine. In the worst case, I can make it up to her later, tenfold."

She stepped on the accelerator, and in no time, they arrived at the Green family villa. Meanwhile, Allison was preparing to leave for the Lloyd mansion, the medication already in her possession. She looked up as the two unwelcome visitors approached, their intentions clear on their faces. Her expression turned icy. "What brings you here?" Colton, who had endured a barrage of scolding that day, was already nervous. But with the medication in Allison's possession, he knew he had to swallow his pride and try to tug at her heart.

"Allison, I know I've screwed up a lot, but my mother truly cared about you like you were family. You don't remember all the bags and clothes she gave you? After the divorce, she even wanted to give you her favorite bracelet."

Allison cut him off with a high-pitched laugh. "Get out. Don't waste my time." Colton had inadvertently struck a chord. The gifts Lindy had given her had more to do with showing off wealth than offering genuine affection. Lindy had been embarrassed by Allison's simple style and would have made fun of her for wearing those items. As for the bracelet, it was nothing more than a manipulative ploy to gain access to the Webway—a cheap ploy Colton was now boldly referencing. She truly believed she was still the naive and complacent girl from before.

Seeing that the emotional appeal wasn't working, Melany intervened, her voice full of false innocence. "Allison, how can you have so little heart? You have the medicine, but you don't want to share it. Are you really going to let Lindy suffer like this? This is practically murder! You can't be so immoral. This will backfire on you."

Allison had reached her breaking point. It was clear that Colton and Melany were trying to take the moral high ground, pressuring her to hand over the medicine. "Yes, I have the medicine," Allison said, smiling as she waved the medicine packet mockingly. "But why should I give it to him? Why not use it to save someone who deserves it more? After all, saving a good person has more merit than saving a bad one."

Colton's gaze locked on the medicine, desperation evident in his eyes. She knew Allison was playing with them, but without the medication… Noticing the brewing storm in Colton's expression, Allison raised an eyebrow and continued, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "What, you plan to take it from me right here, in front of the Green family residence? Security is tight. And tell me, Mr. Stevens, how's your injured finger? It's healed?"

Colton froze. This woman was threatening him. He had just been discharged from the hospital that morning, and his finger was still hurting. Hearing Allison's mockery made him clench his fist instinctively, sending new waves of agony through him. Besides, this was Green family territory. Trying to take anything by force here would not only provoke them but would increase tensions between the Stevens and Green families—something Colton couldn't afford, especially after their joint venture had already fallen apart.

Colton let out a cold laugh. "I'm not as rude as you think."

Allison made a dismissive gesture. "You should focus more on your association with the Everett Group, Mr. Stevens. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have more pressing matters to attend to." He still had someone to save, and he wasn't going to waste another moment with them. With that, he turned around and got into his car, speeding off without a second glance, leaving only a cloud of dust in his wake.

Melany, witness to the scene, feigned concern. "What do we do, Colton? There's only one pill left, and it's in Allison's hands." Internally, she was reveling in the situation, willing Lindy to endure a little more misery. But she couldn't admit it openly. Not getting the medicine back would only worsen Lindy's treatment of her, especially after Lindy had been passive-aggressive since the Perfumery Contest.

"Lindy insists that we must get the medicine at all costs," Melany said, subtly prodding Colton toward more extreme measures.

"You are right. If it's not relieved soon, something serious could happen. We can always apologize to Allison later. After all, Lindy had made it clear that any means necessary would be used, and the Stevens family had individuals skilled at handling that kind of dirty work." Melany smiled slightly, fully aware of how ruthless those people could be. "If Lindy finds out we've failed, she'll be furious."

Colton's face darkened with internal conflict. It seemed they had no choice. He knew that once those people got involved, everything would get out of control. But Allison had left him no choice. After a moment of hesitation, he made the call, sending the license plate of Allison's car to his subordinates. "Follow that car," Colton ordered, his voice firm and somber. "Find a way to corner her in an alley. But unless absolutely necessary, avoid violence. Just get the medication."
