Taylor continued to say, “He was only taken into surgery after your operation was successful and you were safely in your room.”
Lauren’s heart twinged painfully
Her eyes filled with worry and heartache, she asked urgently, “How is Felix?”
“How would I know? A man as blind as him is better off lead, Taylor’s face twisted with madness.
Just then, the elevator dinged, reaching the basement level. The doors slid open to reveal a dimly lit parking garage.
Taylor pushed
ren out of the elevator. Lauren struggled frantically. “Where are you taking me? Let me go. I need to see Felix.”
Taylor, infuriated by Lauren’s resistance, slapped her hard across the face, causing blood to spill from the corner of her mouth instantly.
“You wench, stop wasting your energy! Now that you’re in my hands, you’ll never escape.”
As she spoke, she yanked Lauren’s hair, pulling her head back, and continued her tirade venomously.
“That dog. Felix, made me eat cake every day six months ago, causing me to gain weight. I couldn’t lose it no matter how hard I tried, and I even developed diabetes. He made my life miserable, so I’m making him, taste the pain of losing the woman he loves!”
Taylor’s laughter was crazed, “And that wretch Mia, she cares about you so much, right? Imagine how devastated she’ll be when she finds out you’re missing. Thinking about her pain makes me so happy- hahaha-
She pushed Lauren in front of a car and opened the door.
Lauren saw the person sitting inside, and her hatred solidified. Her eyes seemed to shoot flames as she gritted her teeth, Lucas, did you and Taylor plan all this?”
Lucas, meeting Lauren’s hate–filled gaze, momentarily panicked.
But he quickly regained his composure, putting on a hypocritical smile.
He leaned in, reaching out to caress Lauren’s face, but she turned her head away in disgust.
Lucas wasn’t upset; he continued smiling at Lauren. “Laurie, we are meant to be together. Felix is so wealthy; why would he care about you? He’s just playing with your emotions. You’re just a toy to him.”
He paused, his tone sincere, “Believe me, if you’re with me, I’ll make sure you’re happy.”
Lauren scoffed, “Lucas, you’re utterly shameless.”
Taylor had no interest in wasting more words with Lauren, roughly dragging her into the car.
Lauren, still under the influence of the anesthesia, couldn’t resist effectively.

Before she could finish, Lucas covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
Lauren breathed in a familiar sweet scent.

She had experienced this before when she fled from the Bennetts to the South City train station, where. Jeffrey had knocked her out with a handkerchief.
Experiencing this again, her eyes filled with terror, but her brain was fading fast, and her consciousness slipped into darkness.
Meanwhile, back at the hospital, the surgery room doos finally opened, and Felix was wheeled out.
The doctor removed his mask and told Gael, who had been waiting outside, “The patient’s leg bones have been successfully reattached. The surgery went very well. He just needs to rest well now, and remember, he must not get out of bed for a month.”
Gael nodded and wheeled Felix into his room. After some time, Felix woke up.
The first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to ask about Lauren.
“How is Laurie doing?”
Gael said, “Mr. Brooker, rest assured. Ms. Bennett’s kidney transplant was very successful. Since it was originally Ms. Bennett’s kidney, there’s no risk of rejection. Just take good care of her; and she’ll recover quickly; probably even faster than your legs.”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Felix’s pale face.
“That’s good to hear. With a new kidney, Laurie’s health will definitely improve.”
As long as her health improved, she wouldn’t feel guilty about being a burden anymore, and maybe she wouldn’t think about leaving him. But her legs and ears still required treatment from top global doctors; no matter the cost, he was determined to heal her.
Then, he asked about Willow.
“How is Willow doing?”
Gael scoffed, his voice tinged with disdain, “She’s dead.
“Dead?” Felix was taken aback. Just from having a kidney removed, she died that easily?”
Gael shook his head; Willow’s death wasn’t just about losing a kidney.
