Lauren, you won’t find happiness with someone like him. You’ve never had to fend for yourself out in the world, you don’t know how cruel people can be. Men like him, with their money, they never take women seriously. In their eyes, women are just playthings
He paused, his eyes sweeping critically over Lauren. “Look at yourself–you’re an ex–con with a criminal record and a limp. What makes you think a wealthy man would ever care about you? He’s just curious (because he’s never been close to someone with a disability before; it’s merely a novelty for him. Once he tires of it, he’ll drop you like yesterday’s news.”
Lancas tone softened, his gaze deepening. “We grew up together, both unwanted orphans. You have your disability, and I’ve lost my legs; we really are perfect for each other. Have you forgotten everything I’ve done for you?”
As he spoke, Lucas watched Lauren intently, his expression one of sincere concern. However, in reality, he was just trying to demean Lauren as a way to keep exerting control over her mentally.

Hearing this. Lauren let out a cold laugh, filled with scorn and disdain, “Your version of being good was sending me to prison for a crime I didn’t commit? Your idea of caring for me was constantly berating me over Willow, refusing to hear my side of the story, and smearing my reputation despite knowing my character? Lucas, don’t compare yourself to me. I’m not an ungrateful wretch like you. I’m disabled, and I still don’t see anything in you.”
Lauren’s ruthless retort hit Lucas hard, deeply wounding him.
Lucas felt his blood pressure skyrocket, darkness swirling before his eyes, his breathing quickening.
“Lauren, how can you be so ungrateful? I’m only saying this for your good. If it were someone else, I
wouldn’t even bother.”
Lauren’s eyes were filled with pity, as if looking at a pitiful and laughable clown.
“If it were someone else, they would have slapped you for such insults. The only reason I don’t bother with you is because I don’t want to dirty my hands. Lucas, I hope this is the last time we meet. If we cross paths again, you better not talk to me because just speaking to you makes me sick. Believe me, I really do despise you. Just one more glance at you feels like I’m sullying my eyes.”
Lauren dropped these cold words and, without looking back, walked away with Felix.
Lucas clenched the armrests of his wheelchair, his body trembling as he watched Lauren and Felix’s figures receding into the distance, filled with resentment
He knew he had lost Lauren, but his intense possessiveness wouldn’t allow him to let go. How could the girl who once adored me just walk away so easily and throw herself into another man’s arms?
Even if Lauren had been pregnant with another man’s child, even if her past was complicated, he was unwilling to let her go.
Lucas clenched the document bag in his hand tightly, a crucial piece for his comeback.

Lauren and Felix walked side by side down the street, their shadows elongating under the streetlights.
Suddenly, Felix stopped, his hands gently gripping Lauren’s shoulders, turning her to face him.
Lauren looked up slightly, the streetlight casting a golden glow over Felix, softening his usually stern face.
“Don’t listen to him. You’ve always been fine in my eyes and I’m not just playing around with you.”
Recalling his initial approach to Lauren, it had been because Kate liked her, and he was tired of the relentless pursuit of other women, so he had thought of ways to keep her by his side.
But over time, spending days and nights together, he had come to find a profound peace and comfort in her company.
