Chapter 77 The Final Confrontation Finished Ama acted quickly and rushed forward to push the driver aside , Spreading her arms protectively in front of Lauren and Kate , she shouted , Try that again and youll regret it ! The drivers eyes were bloodshot .
You meddling , old hag ! How dare you interfere in the affairs of the Bennett family ? Even if I beat you to a pulp today , no one would dare say a word ! As he spoke , he raised the stick again .
Marilyn frantically looked around and spotted a potted plant on the floor .
Without a second thought , she grabbed the pot and smashed it against the drivers head with all her might .
Thud ! The pot shattered on impact , scattering soil and leaves everywhere .
The driver , dazed by the heavy blow , staggered and fell to the ground .
Marilyn panted heavily .
Ms.
Bennett , hurry … hurry inside … Lauren didnt hesitate .
She let go of Kate and rushed into the hospital room , pushing open the door .
Marilyn followed close behind .
Kate and Anna did not know what was happening , but they saw Laurens urgency and followed her into the room .
Inside , they saw Willows hands tightly clasping Elaines neck .
Elaines face was flushed red , and her lips were turning purple from lack of oxygen .
The sight sent Lauren into a rage .
She lunged at Willow grabbing her hair and pulling with all her might .
Willow , stop ! Stop ! The searing pain on her scalp forced Willow to release her grip .
She screamed and clawed at Lauren as they struggled .
Gone was Willows usual timid facade .
Her long nails left bloody scratches on Laurens arms .
Kate was heartbroken to see Lauren injured .
She pointed at Willow .
Anna , quickly take this madwoman away ! Anna and Marilyn each grabbed one of Willows arms and held her tightly .
No matter how much Willow struggled , she couldnt break free .
Lauren ignored Willow and rushed to Elaines side .
Elaine lay there lifeless , her chest showing no sign of movement ..
Lauren felt as if she had been struck by lightning .
Her eyes widened in horror and her lips trembled .
Elaine ? Elaine … She shook Elaine desperately , but there was no response .
1/2 Chapter 77 The Final Confrontation Laurens world collapsed .
Finished Doctor .
Doctor ! Lauren wanted to run out and call for help , but her legs felt like lead , too heavy to move .
She leaned forward , her hands clutching Elaines shoulders .
Tears poured out of her eyes like a flood .
Marilyn , call the doctor ! Hurry ! Laurens voice was hoarse .
Realizing the urgency , Marilyn let go of Willow and ran to the door .
But when she reached the entrance , she was blocked by three tall figures .
The man at the front had a face like a storm , his icy aura chilling the room.
His eyes bored into Lauren with a venomous glare .
Lauren , what are you doing with Elaine ? Hearing the angry accusation , Lauren looked up , her tear stained face glaring in the light She knew that he had misunderstood .
She shook her head desperately , her lips trembling with fear in her bones .
Ken … Kenneth , listen to me .
Its not what you think .
It was Willow … But the man didnt listen .
He walked into the room and pulled Lauren away from Elaine .
Laurens frail body was thrown backward , her back slamming into a hard chest .
For a moment , she felt as if her bones were about to shatter .
Before she could react , a pair of large hands grabbed her thin shoulders and turned her around .
She met a pair of deep , familiar eyes .
For the first fourteen years of her life , those eyes had looked at her with endless tenderness .
Now , they were filled with deep disappointment and reproach .
Laurens eyebrows were furrowed , and his eyes were stormy .
Lauric , how did you become like this ? Are you still the kind , innocent girl you used to be ? Can you give me that person back ? Looking into Lucass stranger eyes , Laurens tears flowed uncontrollably , her eyes filled with despair .
I had never changed .
He was the one who had changed .
But he never admitted that he had changed .
