Chapter 185 The Unforgivable Truth 64 % 1 Finished Lauren took a deep breath , trying to steady herself .
I want to know .
Her voice trembled slightly , but beneath the fragility lay an unshakable determination .
Felix hesitated , but in the end , he extended the thick stack of documents toward her .
Lauren reached out with deliberate slowness .
The weight of the papers felt crushing in her hands , as if she were holding an unbearable truth .
She turned the first page .
The moment her eyes skimmed over the words , her face drained of color .
The documents meticulously detailed the schemes and cruelty inflicted upon her by the Bennett family .
The once foggy fragments of memory sharpened , replaying vividly in her mind like a nightmare refusing to fade .
She had always believed that she was kidnapped at birth by human traffickers .
But the truth was far crueler ! The person who stole her and abandoned her at an orphanage was none other than her own biological father , David .
She had always thought Willow was adopted because her parents were heartbroken over losing her .
Yet , the documents mercilessly revealed the truth .
Willow was Davids biological daughter as well , born from his affair with Sharon .
When Laurens mother , Alice , was pregnant with her , David had already betrayed her with Sharon .
The very doctor who had been conducting Alices prenatal checkups .
To make space for his mistresss child , David had heartlessly abandoned his newborn daughter at the orphanage .
And for the next twenty years , he helped that very woman rise to become the hospitals director .
David Bennett!! Lauren gritted her teeth as she spat out his name .
Tears welled in her eyes and spilled over , blurring her vision .
She took a shuddering breath , forcing herself to suppress the sobs threatening to break free , then continued reading .
Sharon had a hereditary kidney disease .
Coincidentally , Alice was a perfect match .
The moment David learned of this , he didnt hesitate .
The day Alice underwent a C section to deliver Lauren , Sharon was also scheduled for an operation .
A surgeon , who had long been bribed , removed Alices kidney under the guise of the C section and transplanted it into Sharon .
Lauren stared blankly at the words .
Her mind went completely blank .
No wonder , for the three years after she returned to the Bennett family , her mother constantly suffered from lower back pain and exhaustion .
No wonder , whenever she and Willow argued , her mother would always scold her , If it werent for giving birth to you , my health wouldnt have deteriorated this badly ! Why cant you just get along with Willow ? Are you trying to anger me to death ? Will that make you happy ? So , it was not childbirth that ruined her mothers health .
It was because Willows mother needed her kidney .
And Alice , she had unknowingly tormented her own daughter for the sake of her enemys daughter .
Lauren suddenly burst into laughter , a laughter so sharp and cold that tears streamed down her face .
The sound was filled with indescribable bitterness and mockery .
Was this fates aan of delivering justice ? 1/2 15:31 Sun , 30 Mar N Chapter 185 The Unforgivable Truth * .63 % Finished The atmosphere in the room grew suffocating .
Laurens laughter was not laughter at all .
It was a guttural wail , ripped straight from the depths of her soul .
Every sound carried an unbearable weight of grief , a lifetimes worth of agony and despair .
Felix stood beside her , his deep eyes dark with conflicting emotions .
He watched her , wanting to speak , but the words died in his throat .
In the face of such a devastating truth , any words of comfort seemed meaningless .
Even Gael , who had witnessed countless tragedies , lowered his gaze , unable to watch .
Gradually , Laurens laughter faded .
All that remained was a long , weary sigh , as if she were expelling decades of pain , resentment , and heartbreak in a single breath .
Alice , you always said I was the harbinger of your misfortune .
But in the end , the true disaster in your life was not me .
It was the man you loved so blindly .
Every torment you suffered was because you failed to see him for who he truly was .
I wonder , how will you feel when you learn that the daughter you raised so tenderly was your husbands illegitimate child ? That the kidney stolen from your body was to save his mistress ? That the daughter you abandoned to die was your only real child ? Lauren closed her eyes , and in her mind , she pictured her mothers reaction to the truth .
A deep , unfathomable satisfaction surged through her heart .
When she reopened her eyes , she lifted a trembling hand to wipe away her tears .
Then , once again , she turned her gaze back to the heavy stack of documents in her hands .
Her eyes darted across the words , her face , which was already pale from crying , suddenly darkening as if a layer of frost had settled over her skin .
She had always believed that the Bennett familys vast wealth and success were built on Davids talent and relentless effort .
But she had been a fool .
David was no self made businessman .
He was a parasite , a man who married into the Pierce family as a mere live in son in law , a pathetic social climber .
And Lauren had thought he only turned cruel after his affair , after having Willow .
But the truth was far more terrifying … H 280
