Chapter 350
Zion, after bowing several times to Dustin, was waved off and dismissed.
"It's time for us to leave too," Dustin said as he glanced at Allison and Shawna.
"You can't go!" Allison suddenly called out anxiously.
Dustin looked at her in confusion.
"If this is about me returning to the McCall family, you can forget it. I can't leave right now," he said as he politely refused.noveldrama
Allison froze for a moment before a look of melancholy appeared on her face.
"What's wrong with the McCall family?" she asked as she cast a sidelong glance at Shawna. Her displeasure was evident.
Allison thought that Dustin was reluctant to return because he fancied this woman, whose beauty rivaled her own. It felt as though he was abandoning her for someone new.
The way she looked at him... made him feel like he was so heartless. His face stiffened.
He had not done anything, yet he was suddenly a villain in her mind. Allison had already decided Shawna was his new woman.
"The McCall family is fine, but I have elders at home to take care of," Dustin said to her.
"Besides, I'm currently working for Miss Welch. My job is on a two-day-on, one-day-off schedule, so I don't exactly have time to hang around your family."
Allison's gaze turned even more sad.
She did not believe that for a second.
With Dustin's abilities and stature, why would he need a job?
"Dustin, I'll give you a week off. I'll take care of Mrs. Swift for you. You can go with Miss Allison without any worry," Shawna said suddenly.
Dustin was startled and turned to Shawna in confusion.
She avoided his gaze. Her eyes darted away from him.
Dustin had helped her so many times, and he was capable, and that had undeniably stirred something in her.
But Shawna knew she could not compete with someone like Allison, so she said what she said.
Perhaps it was because of a sense of inferiority that she felt that Dustin belonged in a world far removed from hers.
"Dustin, what excuse do you have now? If you keep rejecting me, I'll be angry," Allison said as her delicate face shone with frustration.
Dustin hesitated and tried to think of a way to politely decline.
"I've been feeling unwell lately, and Grandpapa told me to seek you out. He said only you can help. Are you really going to turn me away?" Allison asked.
Dustin frowned as he looked at her. She did look a little pale.
So, he asked Allison to extend her hand so he could take her pulse.
"You're right. Something's off." Dustin's face turned serious as he felt the irregularities of her pulse.
He asked Shawna to leave as he needed to deal with Allison's condition.
Shawna's face was blank as she left the restaurant. Only when she reached the exit did she glance back briefly.
"Forget about heading to the McCall family villa. Book a room at the nearby hotel. I'll need to examine you properly." Dustin said seriously. Allison agreed without hesitation.
About ten minutes later, they walked into a luxurious hotel next to the restaurant.
"Take off your top," Dustin said casually.
Allison's cheeks flushed as she
slipped off her outer coat to reveal a pure white camisole underneath. Her fair skin seemed to glow under the light. Dustin averted his gaze for a moment.

She lay down on the bed and buried. her face in the soft pillows. Her white camisole and pleated skirt accentuated her figure. Her delicate curves were fully on display.
Her slender legs were enough to make any man stare.
The way she positioned herself made her look so demure. Even Dustin had to take a deep breath and circulate his pure energy to suppress any inappropriate thoughts.
"This might hurt a little. Try to bear with it," he said in warning.
"Go ahead," Allison murmured with her barely audible voice. It was as soft as a whisper.
Dustin was speechless.
