Chapter 297 Kidnap in the Hospital
Flished
Lauren’s heart clenched instantly, and she cried out, “Mr. Brooker, how are you? Don’t worry about me; I’m just a burden, not worth your sacrifice.”
It was as if Felix hadn’t heard her, he held her even tiger. In that cramped, dark space, their breathing became heavy and rapid.
Lauren could clearly feel Felix’s heartbeat, but as time passed, it grew fainter.
Her tears flowed nonstop, filled with guilt. If it weren’t for her, Felix wouldn’t be in such a dire situation.
“Felix, you can’t die. You promised you’d be with me for a lifetime!” Lauren’s voice was swallowed up by the rain and thunder.
“Don’t… be… afraid…” Felix’s voice was incredibly weak. Lauren couldn’t hear him, much less see him.
All she could feel was Felix lying motionless on top of her, unresponsive. Lauren’s fear surged like a tide, and she screamed for help, her voice laced with endless despair.
But no matter how much she cried out, no one responded.
The mud kept piling up, and the air grew thinner. Lauren felt her brain dizzying; breathing became increasingly difficult, her consciousness blurring bit by bit until she finally passed out completely. After an unknown amount of time, Lauren slowly came to.
Before she even opened her eyes, she smelled the strong scent of disinfectant in the air.
The image of Felix protecting her before she passed out flashed through her mind. She suddenly opened her
eyes and found herself in a hospital.
The white ceiling, white walls, and the beeping of various machines all made her realize she was still alive
But she couldn’t care less about herself; she wanted to see Felix immediately. Lauren tried to get out of bed to find Felix but found her body completely unresponsive; she felt numb all over.
What’s going on? Am I paralyzed?
“Nurse! Nurse!” Lauren called out loudly, her voice panicked.
Soon, a plump nurse wearing a mask came in with a wheelchair.
Lauren asked urgently, “Where is Felix? How is he?”
The nurse responded indifferently, “He’s fine. If you want to see him, I can take you to him.”
As soon as the woman spoke, Lauren felt a very familiar sensation, but she couldn’t remember why. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Felix, so she didn’t dwell on it.
“Okay, take me to him quickly.” Lauren urged impatiently.
The nurse leaned in, transferred her from the bed to the wheelchair, and then wheeled Lauren out of the room, taking the elevator.

The nurse remained silent, and the atmosphere in the elevator instantly became oppressive.
Lauren sensed something was off, turned her head sharply, and mét a pair of eyes filled with disdain.
Lauren’s heart skipped a beat, a bad feeling rising within her.
“You’re not a nurse; who are you?” Lauren asked warily
The nurse slowly removed her mask.
“Are you… Taylor?”
Lauren had only seen Taylor once, on Mia’s birthday at the Lavette Grand Hotel, suite 101.
Although it was just
once, Lauren had a vivid memory of Taylor.
Taylor was much heavier now than she had been back then, but Lauren recognized her immediately. Taylor’s eyes were filled with spite, and her mouth curved into a cold smirk. “Lauren, surprised? Lauren’s pupils constricted sharply. “Taylor, what are you planning? Where is Felix?”
“To think you’re still worried about a man in your condition, how pathetic.”
Lauren clenched her teeth, trying to stand, but her body was completely weak; she couldn’t move at all.
Taylor smirked, “Don’t bother, the anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet; struggling is useless.”
Lauren looked terrified. “You gave me anesthesia?”
Taylor’s mouth twitched slightly upward. “It wasn’t me. It was necessary for your surgery to switch kidneys with Willow, administered by the doctors.”
All this had happened after Lauren had lost consciousness, and she was utterly unaware of it.
Taylor clicked her tongue. “I really don’t understand what Mr. Brooker sees in you, a worthless woman except for your pretty face. Did you know, to save you, be suffered crushed legs from falling rocks, and to ensure yours and Willow’s kidney transplant went smoothly, he endured the pain and guarded outside the operation room all day?”
