Brooker , you dont like it ? Felix shot a sharp glare over .
Josh quickly shut his mouth and focused on driving .
Laurens breathing gradually steadied , though faint sobs still escaped from time to time .
Felix sat beside her , frowning slightly .
He reached out and gently patted her , trying to comfort her .
However , Lauren seemed unaware .

49 % Finished Felix watched her for a long time .
Whether it was because of her emotions or something else , his mood was noticeably sour tonight .
Feeling irritable , he instinctively reached for a cigarette Just as he was about to light it , he paused .
Glancing at the fragile Lauren beside him , Felix put the cigarette back in its case and turned his head to look out the window .
The lights of Hoverdale streaked past rapidly , like countless twinkling stars flowing in reverse .
Under the glow of the streetlights , Felixs profile appeared especially cold and severe .
Josh , find out everything about her by tomorrow .
Alright , Mr.
Brooker .
Elliot , Lucas and Kenneth spent the entire night searching for Lauren , yet there was still no sign of her .
When they returned to Laurens ward , only to be met with an empty bed , their emotions erupted .
Kenneths face turned red from pain and guilt .
Like a raging beast , he stormed toward Elliot step by step , then swung his fist hard across Elliots face .
Its all your fault ! Kenneth roared furiously .
If your Bennett family hadnt treated her like an outsider all this time , would Laurie have lost hope ? Would she have left the hospital alone in the middle of the night ? Everything thats happened to her , its all because of you ! Just yesterday , she had nearly jumped off a building .
He couldnt bear to imagine what irrational thing Lauren might do after leaving the hospital alone in the dead of night .
Caught off guard , Elliot staggered back a few steps , blood immediately trickling from the corner of his mouth .
His eyes reddened with rage , and without hesitation , he swung back , landing a hard punch on Kenneths face .
You think youre any better ? Elliot shot back .
Sure , Bennett didnt treat Laurie well , but at least she lived safely and healthily with us for three years .
And you ? Youre the one who let her be abused in prison ! All 1/3 Thu , Mar Chapter 96 Fractured Bonds and Unrelenting Blame Finished As Elliot spoke , his chest tightened painfully , like countless needles stabbing straight into his heart .

He had already made up his mind to be a good brother and make things right with her .
But now … how had she suddenly disappeared ? Kenneths forehead bulged with veins as he shouted , I didnt do it ! His voice thundered through the ward , raw with frustration and pain .
How could he ? He loved Lauren so deeply , how could he ever bear to let her suffer in prison ? Elliot sneered coldly , his face twisted with mockery .
Cant even own up to what youve done ? What kind of man are you ? I said I didnt do it ! Kenneth roared again , this time swinging his fist and landing a hard punch on Elliots face .
Elliot refused to back down .
Gritting his teeth , he kicked Kenneth hard in the side , and within seconds , the two men were locked in a furious brawl .
Elliots eyes were bloodshot , tears threatening to spill as his punches grew harsher and more desperate .
Kenneths eyes reddened too , and he struck back just as fiercely .
Neither was willing to stop , as though they believed this brutal exchange was the only way to punish themselves .
Lucas , panicked and anxious , rushed forward , desperately trying to pull apart the two men locked in their relentless struggle .
He reached out to grab Elliots arm , but in his frenzy , Elliot violently shook him off and struck Lucas hard in the chest with his elbow .
Lucas let out a muffled grunt , stumbling back several steps .
Before he could steady himself , Kenneths fist accidentally swung out in the chaos , landing heavily on Lucass shoulder .
Lucas staggered , pain flashing across his face .
Frustration and anger surged within him .
Have you both lost your minds ? Lucas bellowed .
Elliot turned , his eyes burning with rage as he jabbed a trembling finger at Lucas.
Werent you who grew up with Laurie ? How could you send her to prison with your own hands ? How could you ….
the one Every word cut like a jagged knife , slicing deep into Lucass heart .
His face went pale , memories of that dark past crashing over him like a relentless tide .
Shut up ! Shut up ! Lucas roared , as if those words had struck his most painful nerve .
His eyes reddened , and in a blind fury , he lashed out , driving his fist hard into Elliots face .
That nunch carried all of his strength and blood once again trickled from the corner of Elliots mouth .
