The Heiress Revived from the Asties
Chapter 75 The Danger to Elaine
Finished
Lauren had enjoyed a rare period of peace these past few days. The wound on her head had mostly healed, and she should have been released by now. But he didn’t want to return to that stifling home. Staying in the hospital for a few more days was a small reprieve.
Lauren leaned against the bed and stared out the window, lost in thought.
Just then, two nurses came in to change her bandages.
When they removed the gauze, Lauren didn’t even flinth, as if she couldn’t feel the pain.
Over the past few days, the nurses had gotten used to her high tolerance.
As they worked, the nurses chatted.
“It really is a miracle.”
“Absolutely. A coma patient who’s been asleep for five years has actually regained consciousness.”
“Yes, but it’s a pity that she still can’t move her body.”
“Since she’s already conscious, it’s only a matter of time before she wakes up completely.”
“Exactly…”
Upon hearing this, Lauren suddenly turned her head.
The nurse was startled. “Did I hurt you? Just hold on a little longer. We’re almost done.”
Lauren stared at the nurse with a trembling voice. “The coma patient you’re talking about… is her name Elaine?”
“Huh? How did you know?”
It was indeed Elaine.
Elaine had regained consciousness.
Did this mean that I could finally clear my name?
At this thought, Lauren suddenly laughed, but her laughter slowly turned into tears.
Her mixed expression of crying and laughing startled the nurses.
“Are… are you okay?”
I’m happy. I’m just happy for the coma patient.”
The two nurses exchanged a puzzled look but didn’t press further. After they finished changing the bandages, they left.
Lauren’s tears continued to fall, her heart a whirlwind of emotions.

Now, Elaine had regained consciousness. It was like a ray of light breaking through the darkness, giving her hope of clearing her name.
After calming down, Lauren decided to see Elaine.
Just as she got out of bed, Marilyn came in carrying a thermos flask.
“Ms. Bennett, where are you going?
Lauren was visibly excited. “Marilyn, Elaine has regained consciousness. She can prove that I didn’t pusht her at Willow’s graduation ceremony five years ago.”
Marilyn was shocked. “Really?”
“Yes, the nurses just told me. I need to see her right away. Lauren’s voice was full of urgency.
“But,” Marilyn hesitated, “you know how hostile the Gray family is towards you because of this. If they find out you’re visiting Elaine now, they might think you’re up to something.”
Lauren froze. She had forgotten about this in her excitement.
But then her pupils contracted.
If I had found out, was it possible that Willow had found out as well?
Elaine could prove my innocence. I would never hurt her.
But Willow was different. She was the one who had pushed Elpine down the stairs and turned her into unconscious for five years. Willow would be the last person to want Elaine to wake up. If Willow found out that Elaine had regained
consciousness…
No, I had to see Elaine now. Even if Kenneth misunderstoode, I still had to convince him to take Elaine home. Only in the Gray family would Elaine be safe.
I couldn’t let Willow get close to Elaine.
Lauren’s expression was urgent. “Marilyn, it was Willow who pushed Elaine. If Willow finds out that Elaine. has woken up, she’ll definitely try to harm her. I have to go see her.”
Marilyn looked into Lauren’s determined eyes. Although she was filled with worry, she nodded. “Then I’ll go with you.”
Lauren hurried down the hall.
As soon as she reached Elaine’s room, she was stopped by a man standing guard outside.
When she saw his face, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
This man was none other than the Bennett family’s driver.
He was the one who had driven me to the auction.
He is Willow’s personal driver.
Marilyn had once told me that he had been drining Willow since she started kindergarten

This meant that he had been Willow’s dedicated driver for nearly twenty years.
If he was guarding the door, it meant that Willow was inside

Lauren’s eyes burned with anger as she glared at the driver. “Step aside,” she said, each word dripping with
anger.
But the driver pretended that he hadn’t heard her.
His eyes were filled with contempt, and his lips curled into sneers. He looked at Lauren like she was garbage, deliberately tilting his head back and looking own at her through his nostrils. He didn’t move,
