Chapter 941
She rushed out of the door without stopping. Blown by the cold wind, Lauren's mood was a little sour. The corner of her lips could not help but curl up into a bitter smile.
It was late at night, but he actually chased her out. How could he chase a pregnant woman out? Haha...
She felt the frustration. At the door, she subconsciously stood still for a moment, thinking about what had happened in the past six months. Her heart felt as cold as her arms, the coldness creeping deep into her bones.
Out of the corner of her eye, she unconsciously glanced behind a few times. She also clenched her cell phone tightly.
Earlier, she was eager to draw a line between them. However, it was the only thing that she didn't give back to him. She was too poor then, so how could she keep her dignity and return the cell phone?
She needed the communication device!
She sniffed, looked up, and stared at a bright star in the distance. Then, she walked towards the street lamp on the side and picked up her cell phone to make a call. Fortunately, the call connected.
"Sharon, are you back?"
Sharon was a forensic medical examiner who often either had to be at the incidents or was called by others to work together, or to do some research work. Due to that, calls to her were mostly not picked up, or her phone would just be turned off.
Therefore, at that moment, Lauren was genuinely happy. "I think I'm really lucky this time! God doesn't shut a door without opening another!", she thought.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
"Lauren, what's going on? So happen, I've just arrived and I'm on the way home! Man, I'm so tired. I haven't smelled the fresh air of Casterwich City for more than three months!"
It was also during those few months that Lauren's world had crumbled to the bottom's end. Listening to her, Lauren couldn't help but felt a burst of sadness. "Can I... stay at your place for the night?" After some simple communications on the phone, Lauren then hung up without telling her the details. In an instant, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was not far away from her! Otherwise...
Subconsciously, she clutched the purse in her pocket tightly. She earned a little money from her hard work those days, but it could be used up in a few days.
It was true that one can only rely on one's own in the world!
She didn't want to cry as she hated shedding tears the most, yet at that moment, her gaze was filled with faint sleepiness. In a daze, the focus of her eyes unconsciously drowned into the quietness behind her.
Soon, a taxi came over, accompanied by a warm smiling face and waving palms. "Lauren, here..."
Raising her feet, Lauren ran over.
At that moment, Willy came out leisurely. While walking, all kinds of random thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Be composed. Don't be hasty. Don't let her notice it!"
"This girl, it's okay if she's hard to deal with, but now she even learned how to lie? She's gone too far. Her name hasn't been cleared yet, but she's already treating me like I'm nothing!"
"She must be squatting at the door now, waiting for me to pick her up, right?"
"How dare she provoke him then act like a mute! How dare she even think of not continuing of the pregnancy and not want his baby? Is she trying to infuriate him? This time, I must not be softhearted. I won't apologize, never..."
When he inadvertently raised his eyes, he saw a thin figure dashed off and got into a taxi. He was in a big shock, and Willy's mind buzzed. The next second, he rushed out of the door with a few big steps.
"D*mn it! Laurie!"
Did she really leave?
Not knowing what was going on, the guard hurried out and asked, "Master Willy?"
"What are you waiting for? Get a taxi!"
With a yell, Willy wanted to call Lauren. When he searched his pockets, he suddenly realized that they were empty. He knocked his head, and his back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sh*t!"
He turned around and ran back to his room without stopping. When he picked up his cell phone, he paused and his face turned pale.
That d*mn woman. Did she really just leave like that? Did she leave without even looking back? Didn't she know that he was just in the heat of the moment? Did she really take his words seriously? Was she not reluctant to leave at all? No... Would she be gone forever?
Willy's mind was a mess. He felt like his head was about to explode!
Lauren hitched a lift and went to Sharon's small apartment. Sharon tidied up her luggage and prepared the bed, and Lauren cooked a bowl of noodles for her. On the table, Sharon had dinner while Lauren was drinking some soup. The two of them talked for a while.
After listening to her experience, Sharon was so angry that she slammed the table, and the cutleries flew in the air.
"Do you even treat me as a friend? How could you not tell me after something so big happened? Do you even know what I work as?"
She was a forensic medical examiner, a medical examiner who often worked with the police! Did Lauren not know that she was very familiar with the industry? She even went to prison for someone else for a long while!
Suddenly getting up, Sharon's face and ears were all red. Looking at Lauren, who looked homeless, she was so angry that she felt like she was going to explode.
When she was drinking the last bit of the soup, Lauren was also shocked by her. "Cough..."
Putting down the bowl, Lauren reached out to pull her hands and forced her to sit down. After taking a breath, she said in a calm voice,
"Back then, I was so scared that I didn't have the time to react, and I was already taken into custody... He had been lying to me so that I would take the blame for him. He even cut off my connection with the outside world! Thinking about it now, I didn't even know what I was thinking! If hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. I devoted everything to him, yet he had been planning to get rid of me completely while he was out there! Never mind all this. The most crucial point was that he didn't even try to lessen my sentence for me. I guess that he was most likely thinking of how to make me serve the whole sentence for him. Sharon, we have known each other for so long that we even discussed getting married, but I didn't even know that his family background was so good..."
Speaking of that, Lauren felt that she was as pathetic as a joke. She didn't care about his wealth or whether he was successful. She just wanted someone who would treat her well genuinely. She didn't expect that after giving him everything she got, just as she was waiting to live a happy life, everything was actually a
lie since the beginning.
If the accident hadn't happened, would she and Zedd end up like that day? Whether the accident was a disaster or a blessing was unclear to Lauren at that moment.
After all, she had ended up in a mess, and she had failed.
"You really can't judge a book by its cover! Lauren, it's not your fault. He's too good at disguising himself! If I hadn't listened to you, I wouldn't have believed that the man who often cooked for you, sent you meals, and always cared about your health would... scheme a plot against you so badly."
She was the one who took the blame for him. It was fine if he just wasn't grateful. How could he repay her kindness with ingratitude?
Holding her hand, Sharon wanted to give her a little bit of warmth and encouragement.
"In fact, I always feel that Zedd liked your talent, your talent in research that is! There's nothing wrong with that. After all, that is your strength! I had always even envied that you've met such a warm-hearted man. Oh, Lauren, the sooner we see through such a scum, the better! You are considered lucky. After all, it's better than having to get married to him and for such a situation to happen when you're middle-aged! When you're abandoned at that time, you can't even fend for yourself, let alone not be a burden to your family. You would even have sacrificed so much time in your life for him! So, it's better for this to happen now. Right! We can't let this shameless man off! We should take back what belonged to us! In society, there is still law and order!"
