Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn)

The weather today was absolutely stunning, with a bright spring sun and not a cloud in the sky. Dr. Allison had mentioned earlier that her wound was nearly healed, and she could expect to be discharged from the hospital in about a week.

In the afternoon, the sunlight seemed just perfect for a little stroll, so Allison decided to head down to the garden for some fresh air. This hospital was a private facility owned by Owens International.

Initially, after getting shot, she was admitted to the closest public hospital. On the day Ben jumped, Javier was eager to transfer Allison to a different facility. However, she had just been moved from the ICU to a regular ward, and transferring her wasn't advisable. Javier, considering her well-being, eventually agreed with the doctors to keep her there a bit longer.

After the Fisher family's funeral, Allison was moved to her family's hospital to continue her recovery. It had been raining nonstop for the past few days, which put a damper on everyone's mood. But today, with the sun shining, Allison seized the chance to step out of her room and head downstairs, her bodyguard Brooklyn by her side.

As she exited the elevator and stepped outside, a familiar figure caught her eye. It was Kate. What was she doing here?

Just a few days ago, Kate's legal troubles had come to light. She had been spreading false rumors online and inciting her followers against Allison. The court found her guilty of defamation, sentencing her to a year in prison, though it was suspended for a year. Unhappy with the decision, Kate had appealed.

The case was still under review, with Allison as the plaintiff and Kate as the defendant, causing a lot of tension between them. Why would Kate show up at Allison's family hospital? Maybe she didn't realize it was under Owens International.

The garden Allison intended to visit was in the same direction as Kate, so she walked over. As she got closer, she could see Kate looking pale and her eyes red from crying—a rare sight for sure.

The last time Allison saw her, Kate

was bragging about being pregnant with Shayn's child, confidently ē claiming it was a boy. She had been so smug, talking about her upcoming marriage into the Reynolds family. But now, here she was, sitting alone, tears streaming down her face.

As Allison walked past, she couldn't help but glance at her a few more times. Just then, Kate noticed her, freezing in place. "Allison, what are you doing here?"

Allison raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't I be asking you that? Aren't you supposed to be busy with wedding plans with Shawn? What brings you to the hospital?" Recalling the current state of the Reynolds Group and seeing Kate like this, Allison put two and two together. Was Kate here for an abortion?

Allison knew all too well about the Reynolds family's downfall. Their bankruptcy was a trap she had set for Shawn as payback. Shawn had walked right into it, pouring a ton of money into a disastrous project, ending up deep in debt. Now, the Reynolds Group was going through bankruptcy liquidation.

The Reynolds family was a sinking ship, and Kate surely wouldn't want to stay aboard. Spotting Allison, Kate hurriedly stuffed the paper she was holding into her purse, her nervousness confirming Allison's suspicions.noveldrama

"Kate, didn't you say you were about to become the lady of the Reynolds family, marrying Shawn?" Allison said with a knowing smile. "I haven't heard a peep about any engagement or wedding plans. Did something change?"
