“How dare you speak like that?” Sharon’s voice rose sharply, her eyes blazing with anger.

“I speak as I must. Although you are the director, you have no right to stop a patient from identifying the true culprit who harmed her. If you keep interfering. I have to suspect you’re deliberately protecting the real murderer. Lauren retorted, her tone unwavering
“Today, Elaine will need to identify the culprit. No one can stop it.” Her resolute stance instantly enraged
Sharon.
Sharon’s face darkened, veins pulsing faintly on her forehead. She wanted to tear Lauren’s mouth apart but restrained herself with so many people watching.
“You’re being unreasonable. Keep causing trouble, and I’ll have security throw you out.” Sharon said.
Lauren didn’t flinch. She stepped forward, locking eyes with Sharon. “Go ahead. Let the whole hospital know the esteemed director is shielding a murderer. I’d love to see if you can keep your job as the director after that.”
Sharon froze, her hand halting mid–reach for the call button.
David, seeing Sharon cornered, felt a stab of distress. He lunged forward, seizing Lauren’s arm, his eyes wild with fury. “You ungrateful wretch! Haven’t you sharned us enough? Get home now!”
Lauren yanked her arm free, her eyes bloodshot. “It’s you two that always favored Willow, your precious. adopted daughter, letting me, your own flesh and blood, suffer injustice for five years! You’re not even ashamed, why should I be afraid? Today, I must get back justice.”
“You” David’s face turned livid, but he was powerless against her defiance.
Alice was near tears. “Laurie, stop this. Can’t we sort this out at home?”
Lauren turned to her mother, her gaze full of disappointment. “Home? So you can cover up Willow’s crimes?”
“You’re such devoted parents to your darling daughter, errified the truth will punish Willow. But you never cared about the injustice I endured.”
With each accusation, David’s expression grew darker, while Alice sobbed, trembling uncontrollably.
“Laurie, it’s not like that. You’re the daughter I carried for ten months; how could I bear to see you suffer? Everything I did was for your own good,” Alice pleaded
For my own good, by letting me take the blame again and again? Lauren thought bitterly.
“I’ve carried someone else’s guilt for five years. Now, I want Elaine to name the real culprit. If you truly cared about me, Madam Alice, you wouldn’t stop me. This isn’t just unfair to me, it’s unfair to Elaine too.”
David and Alice fell
lent, unable to argue. They knew the truth better than anyone. David had seen Willow push Elaine down the stairs. Alice had watched the surveillance footage of Willow’s crime. Back then, Lauren had no proof, and her cries of innocence went unheard. Now, with Elaine awake, she couldn’t miss this chance to clear her name.

finger at Lauren’s nose. “If you keep this up, I’ll call the police!”

At the word “police,” Lauren sneered. “Do it. I’d love to rip off someone’s task of hypocrisy in front of them.”
Sharon was bluffing. She didn’t dare call the police. She just glared at Lauren, teeth clenched.
Lauren found Sharon’s behavior increasingly suspicious, but her focus was on proving her innocence, not Sharon’s motives, Maybe the Bennett family had bribe her.
Seeing Sharon hesitate, Lauren pressed, “Weren’t you going to call the police? Go on.”
Sharon was trapped.
Lauren pulled out her phone. “Fine, I’ll do it myself. After five years, it’s time for the truth to come out.” │She dialed 911.
Just as she was about to hit call, a large hand snatched her phone and smashed it on the floor, shattering it.
Lauren looked up as a heavy slap struck her face, knocking her onto Elaine’s bed. Her cheek burned, her ears ringing.
“You ungrateful brat! Still making a scene here! Do you want to ruin the Bennett family completely?” David roared, his eyes blazing like an enraged lion’s. He raised his hand again, as if to beat her senseless.
