Female Novel
Chapter 1495
However, the problems were only limited to Allison’s face and neck. She did not feel unwell at all.
The doctor concluded that the wrinkles posed no threat to her health. However, she could not stop newwrinkles and cracks from appearing on her face.
The doctor wanted to refer her to a plastic surgeon, but prison inmates were not permitted to undergoplastic surgery procedures, not even if her son had a lot of money to hire the best plastic surgeon.
Since the wrinkles and cracks were not life-threatening, Allison eventually gave up on trying to fix them.
Luke frowned and looked at the lawyer.
The lawyer explained, “The doctors said that there’s nothing wrong with Mdm. Tanner’s health, andthey can’t find a rational explanation for what happened to her face. That’s why it’s been left untreated.”
Luke turned his head toward Allison. He could not bear to look straight at her even though he had seenhis fair share of bloody scenes.
“Why, my son? Are you scared?” Allison smiled ominously. She was her own horror movie.
Luke frowned. He was not scared, but he was not used to his mother’s face being like that. Heremembered that she looked glamorous before she was sent to prison.
He was mentally prepared to see Allison in a sorry state, but the truth was beyond his expectations.
“I’ll find a doctor to cure you once you’re released,” Luke said.
“Cure? This isn’t a disease. It’s all your fault!” Allison roared as she glared at Luke’s handsome face.He had inherited half of his genes from her.
However, she had become…
Allison continued to stare daggers at Luke while touching her face. “Why did I even give birth to you,Luke Crawford? You’ve ruined my face!:
Luke frowned even harder when he heard that. Did she want to meet him after three years so that shecould yell at him?
The lawyer wiped the sweat off his forehead. He had seen the gradual changes happening on Allison’sface for the past three years. He had even asked Allison if she wanted Luke to hire a dermatologist forher.
However, Allison had refused every request.
Now that she finally met Luke after three years, that was how she treated her. Should she be afraid thatLuke would abandon her?
He did not expect Luke to do that, though he had once sent his own mother to prison.
“The visiting time is limited, Mdm. Tanner. Do you have something important to tell Mr. Crawford?” Thelawyer reminded her.
Even though Allison still had a lot more to say, she had to hold her tongue for now. She would bereleased from prison soon, and she would return to a life of luxury, but her face…
She dared not even look into the mirror. How was she going to face other people?
Allison glared at Luke resentfully and said, “I’ll be out soon. Get a doctor for me as soon as possibleand fix this.”
Luke looked at her face and said nothing.
He wondered how proficient a plastic surgeon must be to save Allison’s face.
The wrinkles had already affected the subcutaneous layer of her skin. Only a chronic disease couldhave caused that.
“Why aren’t you speaking?” Seeing that Luke was silent, Allison thought he was unwilling to help her.She pointed a finger at him and yelled shrilly, “You’re the one who caused all this. If you won’t find me adoctor, I’d rather die!”
Luke thought that Allison’s reaction was understandable. After all, she was a vain woman.
“I’ll find a doctor for you,” he said.
Allison calmed down a little after hearing that, though she was worried that he was only paying lipservice. “Don’t even think of deceiving me. I won’t leave this place with this face. If you lie to me, I’ll letthe whole world know that you’re an ingrate.”
Luke hated being threatened. His gaze instantly turned cold. “I can only bring a doctor here for aconsultation. The treatment can only begin after you’re released.”
At first, Allison did not want to agree to that. However, she thought for a while and realized that therewere many things she could not do while in prison, so she had to agree to it.
“Heh heh, fine. I want the best plastic surgeon and dermatologist,” she chuckled coldly and said.
In the first year, the condition of her skin had deteriorated quickly. The second and third years wereabout the same.novelbin
The nerves on her face were numb to the repeated cracks that appeared. Even if new cracksappeared, she would not feel any pain.
Luke did not reply to her. He stood up and walked toward the door.
He knew that Allison had achieved what she wanted, so there was no reason for him to linger there.
The lawyer also stood up when he saw that.
Allison reminded him, “If he hasn’t arranged a doctor for me in two days, you have to call him andremind him! I need the doctor to fix my face!”
The lawyer agreed while wiping the sweat off his forehead, though he was unwilling. He was not paidenough to do that.
If Luke did not want to find a doctor for Allison, there was nothing the lawyer could do. After all, thatperson was Luke Crawford.
Luke was the one who paid his salary. How was he going to offend him?
After Luke and the lawyer left the visiting room, Luke asked, “When did her skin become like this?”
“I heard that it happened about ten days after she was brought in. When her skin began to crack, theprison officials brought her to the doctor, but the doctors could not do anything. The cracks didn’t affecther health, and they couldn’t stop the situation from worsening,” the lawyer answered. Back then,Allison harbored a lot of hate for Luke, and she had told the lawyer not to tell him. “It’s not that I wantedto hide it from you, Mr. Crawford, but as her legal representative, I have to respect her wishes.”
“Mm,” Luke replied. He did not have any intention to blame the lawyer.
He guessed that Allison’s skin condition was caused by an unknown poison.
The same thing had happened to Queenie. Ever since that incident, Luke believed that certaindiseases were caused by external drugs rather than ailing health.
He guessed that Allison’s current condition was not caused by her stint in prison. Instead, it hadsomething to do with her previous lifestyle.
He remembered seeing fresh cracks on her skin. A plastic surgeon would be no use – Luke would haveto ask for Johann’s help.
