Chapter 73 The Distance Between Them Finished Lauren could clearly feel the cold , imposing aura emanating from Kenneth .
It was the kind of dominance that came from years of controlling the business world making it hard for her to even breathe .
Kenneth looked down at Lauren in his arms .
Her once dear eyes were now filled with fear and unease , her long eyelashes trembling like those of a frightened dece His lips curled slightly as a complex emotion flashed in his eyes .
Why are you running ? His voice was deep and magnetic , but in this tense atmosphere , it felt especially jarring .
Lauren struggled to break free from Kenneths embrace , but his arm was like an iron band holding her tightly .
She looked up to find Kenneths face only inches away .
The distance was so close that I could feel his breath .
Laurens heart raced .
She lowered her eyes and pressed her hands against his broad , strong chest as she pushed him away .
Le … let me go .
Although she tried to remain calm , the slight tremor in her voice betrayed her inner turmoil .
For me , Kenneth was like a knife hanging over my neck , capable of ending my life at any moment .
Only by staying away could I ensure my safety .
Seeing the panic in Laurens eyes , Kenneth felt a twinge of pity , but it was quickly replaced by his usual coldness .
Why are you so scared ? One was my biological sister , and the other was someone I had loved for three years .
I was the one who should be in pain , yet Lauren always acted as if she was the one who had suffered the most .
What was even more annoying was that I actually felt sorry for her .
How could I face Elaine lying in that hospital bed ? With this thought , Kenneth roughly pushed Lauren out of his arms .
Lauren stumbled backwards and barely caught herself against the wall .
If it wasnt for this support , she would have fallen flat on her back .
Even though she did not fall , the pain in her still healing shoulder was excruciating .
Lauren gritted her teeth and refused to scream , but the veins on her forehead betrayed her agony .
Her face turned pale , and beads of sweat instantly soaked her temple hair .
Kenneth instinctively reached out to steady her , but forced himself to stop .
His hand rose and then fell , his inner conflict evident .
1/3 21:44 Thu , Mar 27 ww Chapter 73 The Distance Between Them within himself began to stir.
After steadying herself , Lauren hesitated for a moment before finally gathering the courage to turn around and walk away .
One step , two steps , three steps ….
Kenneth didnt follow me , nor did he call out to me .
Laurens tense heart gradually relaxed .
She felt like she had just escaped the gates of hell .
Not daring to look back , she quickened her pace .
Seeing her limping , frail figure , Kenneth couldnt stand it any longer and called out , Lauren .
His voice was soft and gentle , like a spring breeze .
Finished But Lauren didnt hear it .
Ever since Alice had hit her on the head , her hearing had deteriorated .
Even her remaining ear occasionally went deaf .
When Kenneth saw that she didnt stop , he assumed that she didnt want to face him .
But there were things .
he had to say , so he raised his voice .
Felix is not easy to deal with .
Youd better not marry him .
Felix was a force to be reckoned with in the business world .
Ithout an iron will , it would be impossible to control the Brooker familys vast empire .
The Brooker family was an elite family of the highest order .
To be more precise , they were a chaebol .
Such families had the most rules , and Lauren would never find happiness by marrying into one .
He thought that Lauren would turn around this time , but she didnt .
Lauren couldnt hear anything .
All she could hear was the sound of buzzing in her ears .
She no longer cared about getting some fresh air outside the hospital .
All she wanted was to return to her room as soon as possible .
Kenneth stood frozen , watching her retreating figure .
It felt like there was an unbridgeable gulf between them .
But the overwhelming desire in his heart refused to let her go .
Go after her ! A voice inside him screamed , as if letting her go now would mean they would never cross paths again .
He desperately wanted to hold on to her .
But just then his phone rang , interrupting his thoughts : After a moment of hesitation , he answered it .
It was a call from Elaines doctor .
Suppressing the emotions that were surging through him , he answered .
Hello .
2/3 Thu , Mar 27 Chapter 73 The Distance Between Them Finished Mr.
Kenneth , please come to the hospital as soon as possible .
Your sister is showing signs of waking up .
Upon hearing this , Kenneths heart leapt with joy .
He took one last deep look at Laurens retreating figure There was still a trace of longing in his eyes , but it was quickly replaced by concern for his sister .
