Chapter 383 No Mercy Left to Give
Lauren’s patience wore thin. She didn’t even want to spare Alice a glance.
“You still have something to say?”
Alice pressed her lips together, gathering her thoughts before speaking “Lauren… could you… could you write a letter of forgiveness for your brother?”
Lauren let out a sharp, cold laugh. “He helped someone try to steal my kidney, and you want me to forgive him?
Alice knew her request was shameless, but she persisted. “But he’s your biological brother! You’re fine now, right? Do you really have the heart to watch your brother go to jail over something like this? You’re Corwynale’s youngest scientific genius- if you just say a word, I’m sure the court would go easy on him. Just pity your brother a little, okay”
“Enough!”
Lauren’s voice cracked like a whip through the room.
“You want me to pity him? And who pitied me? Yes, he’s my brother–my biological brother. And yet he teamed up with others to steal my kidney. That’s how he treats me? In our last life, he framed me and got me thrown into prison for five years. Before that, he humiliated me for three years in the Bennett family. After I got out, he kept coming at me, again and again. I’ve already been generous enough not to settle the score in this life. If he had stayed away, I would’ve treated him like nothing but air. But what did he do? He tried to make me a cripple again! And you dare ask me to forgive him? Alice, you know how I feel about becoming disabled. Last time, you and your family ruined me–cost me a leg and a kidney. Do you really think I’ll let it happen again?”
Tears streamed down Alice’s face. She shook her head desperately. “No, that’s not what I meant, I-
“Ha.” Lauren’s cold sneer sliced right through her. “Elliot isn’t a child. He’s an adult. And adults should take responsibility for their actions.”
“But don’t worry–he was just an accomplice. He won’t be sentenced to death. It’s just a few years in prison. Not a big deal, right?”
Alice’s eyes widened.
She knew that phrase. Knew it all too well.
Because in their past life, Elliot had used those exact same words on Lauren),
“It’s just five years in prison. So what? Elaine became a vegetable.”
Alice couldn’t even look Lauren in the eyes anymore.
Lauren’s tone was flat and calm. “Since Elliot thought jail time wasn’t a big deal, he can experience it himself. I’m sure prison will ‘reform‘ him nicely. Don’t worry–I won’t have anyone target him inside. All he’s losing is his freedom.
I lost a leg. And a kidney. He’s still got it easy.”
Alice’s mind went blank. She couldn’t speak.
Lauren pushed past her and walked out of the hospital room.
She didn’t expect to crash straight into someone’s chest.
Startled, she looked up–and her pupils shrank in shock.
Kenneth?

But compared to the Bennett family or areas Kenneth wounds were no more than a light drizzle.
Still, the suddenness of the encounter caught he completely off guard.
Kenneth, in a sharp black suit, couldn’t take his eyes offer the moment he saw her.
Is that really.. her?
The youngest, most brilliant scientific mind in all od Corwyndle.
A name that most average people might not recognize budemeth wam’t most people.
He had known of Lauren since school.
He had once thought himself talented–until he learned aboarder. At the age when he was till playing with crayons in preschool, she had already entered college.
To him. Lauren wasn’t just a genius–she was a legend. His co
And now…
that idol had just thrown herself into his arms.
Kenneth’s face flushed bright red from excitement.
Elaine, who stood beside him, gasped in amazement
“Whoa! Kenneth–isn’t this the Lauren you’re always talking about? Your idi?jusawa news segment on her yesterday! She’s even more beautiful in person than on TVT”
Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at Lauren.
Lauren came back to her senses, her expression calm, her voice distant.
“Could you let go of me now?”
Kemeth blinked and suddenly realized he was still holding her slender waist–so–sodtamaludicate that Lauren had no choi burn lean into him.
Between–shampoo and body wash, subtle and clean–clung to him. Addictive.
