Chapter 87 A Desperate Struggle Lauren ignored the stinging pain on her face , her focus entirely on Elaine .
Finished Elaine , newly awake from a vegetative state , was frail .
When Laurens body crashed into her , she fainted instantly .
Elaine ! Elaine ! Laurens voice shook as she called our tears streaming down her face .
Elaine , wake up , please .
Just hold on a little longer .
Lauren thought to herself , if Elaine couldnt pin the crime on Willow today , getting a confession later would be nearly impossible .
David , Alice , Elliot , Willow , even Lucas and Sharon , all seemed relieved that Elaine was unconscious .
Kenneth rushed over , shoving Lauren aside and calling anxiously , Elaine , whats wrong ? Dont scare me ! But no matter how he pleaded , Elaine didnt stir .
His heart ached as he glared at Lauren .
This is your fault .
If you hadnt kept causing trouble , Elaine wouldnt have fainted .
If anything happens to her , I wont let it go .
He scooped up Elaine and snapped at Sharon and doctor , What are you standing there for ? Save my sister ! A flicker of satisfaction crossed Sharons eyes as she hurriedly ushered the doctor and Kenneth out .
Lauren tried to follow , but David blocked her .
You troublemaker , get home now ! With Willows exposure imminent , everyone was obstructing her .
A wave of dizziness hit Lauren , despair overwhelming her .
She threw her head back and laughed , the sound echoing through the room , tinged with misery and madness .
Youve all wronged me , every one of you .
David , startled by her outburst , flared with anger .
He kicked her to the ground , raising his fist to strike .
Madam Kate , Anna , and Marilyn rushed forward to restrain him .
Having witnessed everything , Madam Kate understood Laurens suffering and was heartbroken , appalled by the Bennett familys cruelty .
What kind of parents are you ? Neglecting your own daughter to protect a wicked adopted child , have you no heart ? Old hag , my family affairs are none of your business .
Get lost ! David shoved the three women aside .
He aimed his fist at Lauren again .
Throughout , Alice , Elliot , and Lucas watched , none intervening .
As the punch neared , suddenly , a pig like squeal erupted from David .
Lauren had seized a fruit knife and plunged it into his arm , the bloodied tip piercing through .
All her fury from five years of injustice , misunderstandings , pain , betrayal , burst forth .
1/2 21:46 Thu , Mar 27 Chapter 87 A Desperate Struggle Finished She yanked out the knife , blood spraying across her face .
Like a demon unleashed , she lunged again , aiming for his heart .
Her eyes burned with lethal intent .
Fear gripped David memories of her previous attempt flashing back .
This time , her resolve was even fiercer , chilling him to the core .
Shock and terror dilated his pupils , his legs heavy as lead .
As the knife neared his heart , Alice shoved him aside .
The blade sank into his shoulder instead .
His agonized scream filled the room ..
Lauren pulled the knife free without hesitation .
Her eyes held no mercy , only hatred , as she targeted his stomach .
Terrified as ever , with the pain on the shoulder , David begged , Lauric , I was wrong this time .
Please dont kill me ! But Lauren was deaf to his pleas , her knife plunging forward .
Each of the three stabs carried years of resentment , her gaze unyielding , shed vowed to take his life .
