Chapter 30 Willow Is the Bennett Familys Real Daughter Laurens Just a Convict After Jeffrey spoke , the hospital room remained silent .
Elliot hesitated , debating whether to enter , but before he could push the door open , Jeffrey spoke again .
Its your body .
You should take better care of it .
Elliot expected Lauren to remain silent as she had before .
But this time , she spoke .
Her voice was quiet , but cold .
Jack insisted on beating me .
Whats the point of taking care of my body if he can destroy it whenever he wants ? Jeffrey hadnt expected that answer .
He frowned .
If he was going to hit you , why didnt you dodge ? You just stood there and let it happen .
Lauren stared at him .
A long , deep staré It made Jeffrey uncomfortable .
What ? he asked , shifting slightly under her gaze .
Lauren didnt answer .
He made it sound like he cared .
But he didnt It was just like when someone was sick people who truly cared would take them to the doctor , get them medicine , and stay up all night looking after them.
People who didnt really care would just say , Get some rest and youll be fine .
She could have ignored him , but Jeffrey was frowning , looking at her like he was the one being wronged .
Like she was being ungrateful for his so called concern .
Laurens voice remained weak .
How do you know I just stood there and let him hit me ? I can barely walk , much less run .
How was I supposed to dodge ? Her words hit Jeffrey like a slap To be fair , Lauren wasnt trying to challenge him .
She was simply stating a fact .
But men like Jeffrey rich young masters who had never suffered a day in their lives hated being challenged .
His face darkened .
His response was sharp .
Mr.
Bennett is usually a reasonable man .
If he beat you , you mustve done something to deserve it .
Instead of blaming others , maybe you should reflect on yourself .
Laurens heart clenched in pain .
So , she was beaten , and was it her fault ? She had no power .
No way to fight back .
She wasnt a privileged daughter .
She was a woman at the very bottom , someone who had been beaten into submission .
She was the one being hurt .
Yet , she was the one being scolded .
She suddenly felt exhausted .

straight into Elliot as he stepped out .
He scored wouldst there if I were you .
Shes in a mood All youll get is a scolding Elliot barely acknowledged him .
His gaze was locked on Lauren through the glass window , She was so thin her body was covered in injuries His heart clenched Sow is she ? he asked Jeffrey buffed Shes got enough energy to argue with me , so the fine Then with a smirk he added .
By the way , why did your father beat her so badly : Did she do something to Willow ? Dont lose Elliot snapped , his tone sharp .
Jeffrey raised a teow So she didnt hurt Willow ? Hah Jedney shrugged Wright , whatever you say .

Elliot didnt respond He just staring at Lauren through the glass .
2:42 PM ch Chapter 30 Willow is the Bennett Familys Real Daughter Laurens Just a Convict Sunlight streamed through the Bennett familys kitchen , casting a warm glow over the room .
Finished Marilyn stood by the counter , carefully placing the food she had made for Lauren into a thermal container .
She had woken up early to prepare it , hoping that if Lauren ate something warm and comforting , she might feel a little better .
Just as she reached for a bowl of birds nest soup- A delicate , fair hand snatched it up .
Marilyn looked up and saw Willow lifting the bowl to her lips .
Panicked , Marilyn quickly reached out .
Miss , thats for Miss Lauren Willows eyes narrowed , her tone dripping with arrogance .
Marilyn , you better remember your place .
Youre a servant .
You dont get to tell me what to do .
Marilyn froze She knew she had no right to lecture Willow But Willow had never recognized her own place either .
Marilyn sighed .
Miss , Miss Lauren is injured .
Please let her have it to help her recover Willows face twisted into a sneer .
Oh ! So only she deserves to be taken care of ? And I dont ? Thats not what I bowl left .
I though , Miss Marilyn tried to explain .
Its just that Miss Lauren is very weak right now , and this is the last bowl left .
I thought it would help her get some strength back- So you are saying I dont deserve it Willows voice shot up Miss .
I swear thats not- Willows eyes turned red , her voice trembling with fake hurt .
Youre just looking down on me because Im not their biological daughter , arent you ? Marilyns heart dropped .
Miss , I would never- Before she could finish , Willows tears spilled over , falling down her checks like raindrops .
Right at that moment David and Alice came downstairs .
They frowned as they heard the commotion .
Whats all this shouting ? David demanded , his voice full of authority Alice hurried forward , When she saw Willow crying , her face darkened with concern .
Willow , what happened ? Why are you crying ? Seeing her mother , Willow immediately threw herself into Alices arms , sobbing dramatically .
Mom ! Marilyn said , Im not your real daughter , so I dont deserve to eat the birds nest soup ! Alices face turned cold.
Her sharp gaze snapped to Marilyn .
Is that true ? Marilyn was stunned.
She had never said anything like that ! iret tima cha trudu understand what it felt like to be filialu se seezel Chapter 30 Willow Is the Bennett Familys Real Daughter Laurens Just a Convict Maam , I never said that ! I only meant that Miss Lauren needed it more because of her injuries ! But Alice wasnt convinced .
So , what youre saying is that Willow is lying ! I I didnt mean that … Before Marilyn could explain further , Davids furious voice rang out .
Marilyn , youve clearly forgotten your place .
His expression was cold , his tone dripping with disdain .
Finished Willow is the real daughter of the Bennett family .
As for Lauren ? That disgrace has no class , no morals .
Last night , she even tried to kill me with a knife He sneered That ungrateful convict doesnt deserve birds nest soup .
Hell , she doesnt even deserve to be out of prison .
