Chapter 76 The Unexpected Savior
Lauren’s anger flared up in an instant. “I said move aside!
Her voice rose several decibels, filled with hysteria.
Finished
She reached out to push him, but the driver was tall and stocky, his body like an immovable mountain. Lauren felt like she was pushing against an unyielding wall.
Suddenly, the driver swung his big hand at Lauren’s face.
The speed was astonishing, and the movement created a gust of wind.
Marilyn, who had been following Lauren closely, was terrified..
Without thinking, she rushed forward to pull Lauren away.
Thwack!
The hand landed right on Marilyn’s face.
Her body crumpled to the ground like a fallen leaf.
“Marilyn!” Lauren’s eyes filled with heartbreak, red with anger and grief.
However, Marilyn gritted her teeth and slowly rose from the ground.
She pointed a trembling finger at the driver and scolded, “You are just a driver for the Bennett family. How dare you lay a hand on the Bennett family’s heiress!”
The driver sneered, his face full of mockery
“What heiress? She doesn’t deserve the title! The Bennett family only has one heiress, and that’s Willow. Who that Lauren is?”
Lauren clenched his fists and shook with rage.
At that moment, Kate and Anna, who had just completed the hospital admission procedures, were walking toward the ward. They saw the driver arrogantly scolding Lauren.
Kate’s eyes landed on Lauren and immediately widened, scrutinizing the girl.
“This girl… she looks so much like my future grandson’s wife, Lauren,”
Anna took a closer look. Indeed, it was the girl in the photo
No wonder I had found the photo familiar but couldn’t place Now that I saw this girl in person, I remembered that this was the girl she had rescued at the South City Train Station over a month ago.
Anna quickly said, “Madam Kate, do you remember the girl I told you about at the South City Train Station over a month ago?”
“Of course. Why bring that up now?” Kate was questioned.

“What! Kate was so shocked that she almost lost her balance.
Finished
When Anna had first told me about the incident. I felt that the girl must have been abused at home to run away to the train station in the middle of the night.
How dangerous it was for a young girl to go out alone at nigh! She must have suffered greatly to take such a risk. Kate’s heart had ached for her.
And now that she discovered that the girl was her future grandson’s wife, her heart ached even more.
At that moment, the driver raised his fist, his face threatening as he prepared to hit Lauren. He looked like a ferocious beast ready to pounce.
Kate was furious. How dare he bully my future grandson’s wife!
Without hesitation, she stepped forward and swung her stick at the driver.
“A grown man bullying a young girl? I’ll teach you a lesson!” Kate didn’t hold back and rained blows on the driver with her cane. In just a few blows, his face was bruised and swollen.
Lauren was stunned. She had never expected a stranger to come to her aid.
Before she could react, the driver angrily grabbed Kate’s cane.
“You old hag, you’re asking for it!” he growled, raising the cane to hit Kate.
Lauren’s eyes widened in horror. Without thinking, she threw herself in front of Kate, shielding her with her body.
Thud!
The stick hit Lauren’s back with a heavy thud.
Lauren let out a muffled groan, her body shaking from the pain. But she held onto Kate tightly, her voice weak as she asked, “Madam, are you okay?”
Before meeting Lauren, Kate had already felt a deep affection and compassion for Lauren. Now that she saw the girl risking herself to protect her, Kate was deeply moved, and her heart melted.
“I’m fine, child. What about you?”
“I’m fine,” Lauren said through clenched teeth, trying to keep her voice steady despite the searing pain in her back. But her face had already gone pale.
The driver, furious that his blow had missed Kate, raised the stick again, ready to strike.
