The Heiress Revived from the Ashes
Chapter 74 The Arrival of the Madam Kate
Kenneth turned and ran toward Elaine’s hospital room his hurried steps stirring up a gust of wind.
He burst into the room and anxiously asked about his sister’s condition.

The doctor explained, “We’ve observed that your sister fingers occasionally twitch, and there’s brainwave activity. This indicates that she’s conscious.
Kenneth was both shocked and overjoyed. “So you’re saying that if we talk to her now, she can hear us?”
“In theory, yes, the doctor replied.
Elaine’s current state was like sleep paralysis. Her mind was awake, but her body was unresponsive,
Kenneth sat by Elaine’s bed and took her hand. “Elaine, can you hear me?”
Elaine’s eyes moved slightly.
Seeing this, Kenneth was both excited and relieved.
He gently stroked her cheek, his eyes slightly red. “Elaine, you finally answered me. You have no idea how worried I’ve been for the past five years.”
But after the initial excitement, his expression turned cold. He leaned down and whispered into her ear. “Tell me, was it Lauren who did this to you?”
I had received the answer five years ago, but a part of me still had hope.
I had hoped that it was all a misunderstanding and that his sister had suffered another accident.
But when he saw the tears streaming down Elaine’s face, all hope was gone.
“So it was really Lauren?” Kenneth’s voice turned icy. His hand unconsciously clenched, and his knucklest turned white.
Elaine’s tears flowed even harder, as if she had so much to say. But she couldn’t open her eyes or speak. She was trapped in her own body, aware of everything that was happening around her but powerless to stop it.
Seeing his sister cry so bitterly at the mention of Lauren’s name, Kenneth felt as if he had–swallowed a thousand needles, the pain unbearable.
On the one hand, he couldn’t believe that the kind and intelligent Lauren he knew could be so cruel. On the other hand, his sister’s silent tears were like a sharp sword, piercing his heart over and over again.
His gaze fixed on Elaine’s tear–stained face, he clenched his teeth, his throat tightening as he said hoarsely, “Elaine, don’t cry. I won’t let anyone hurt you again. Even though Lauren has already served five years in prison, it’s not enough to atone for what she’s done. I… will make sure that justice is served.”
Despite his words, his heart felt torn in two.
No, it wasn’t Lauren. It was Willow!

But she was trapped in this unresponsive body, powerless to stop the misunderstanding from deepening.
A few days later, the rain finally stopped in Hoverdale.
In Balewood, Kate could no longer sit still. “Anna, is it sill raining in Hoverdale?”
“No, it’s stopped,” Anna replied, noticing the old lady’s patience. She smiled warmly.
“Then let’s hurry to Hoverdale. If we leave now, we can be there by noon and meet my future grandson’s wife in the afternoon. The old lady was overjoyed and wished that she could appear before Lauren right away to see her future grandson’s wife.
If she could get Felix, my iron–hearted grandson, to show interest in someone, then this girl must be a well–behaved and reasonable child.
“Madam Kate, the luggage is already packed. We can leave now,” Anna said, helping the old lady to her feet.
They left immediately.
Throughout the trip. Kate couldn’t stop talking about Lauren, her smile never leaving her face,
However, the joy of the trip was quickly dampened when they arrived in Hoverdale. Kate, unaccustomed to the climate, fell ill.
Anna became concerned. “Madam Kate, perhaps we should call Mr. Brooker and have him pick you up.”
But Kate was stubborn. “No, what if Lauren comes with him? I can’t let her see me like this. If she feels obligated to take care of me, how will she and Felix have time to develop their relationship?”
Anna feels helpless.
Kate continued her speech. “If she thinks Felix is Mamas boy and decides not to date him, he’ll be alone for the rest of his life. With his personality, he’ll never find anyone else. I finally have a chance to have a grandson’s wife. I can’t let her slip away.”
Anna was speechless. “Uh…” That might be a bit of an exaggeration.
“Let’s go to the hospital first. When I feel better, I’ll call Felix, I want to meet Lauren at my best.
So Anna helped Kate to Skyline Medical Center.
On the way, Kate kept cursing herself. “This is all because of my old body. I’ve ruined the best chance to
meet Lauren.
