Female Novel
Chapter 1497
"Return it to me when you've had enough of this game," Silas said.
Rose's eyes widened as she looked at the shiny badge in her palm.
Although Alyssa and Jasper had won the battle and felt relaxed, their spirits had been tense for days.
Suddenly relaxing, they felt physically and mentally exhausted. They were eager to go home and have
a good sleep together in their bed.
Just as they got into the car, Jasper's phone rang.
Alyssa glanced at it and saw that it was Landon calling. Her heart skipped a beat. "Jasper, answer it. It
might be about Lauren."
Jasper frowned slightly and answered, "Landon, what's wrong?"
"Jasper, are you and Lyse together?"
Landon's voice sounded urgent and hoarse with worry. "Can you come to my house now? Lauren is
crying so hard because of Sophia. I can't do anything. I'm really afraid she'll hurt herself if she keeps
crying like this.
"Can you please come over? She's closest to Lyse. Maybe Lyse can comfort her. Please?"
The couple rushed to Landon's house without delay.
They saw Angelina standing at the door from a distance, waiting anxiously.
"Angelina, how's Lauren? Where's Landon?" Alyssa and Jasper hurried over, hand in hand, with
worried expressions.
Angelina, usually composed, was now visibly distressed. "Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa, you're finally here.
Madam Lauren's condition is very bad. It seems she's having an episode."
Hearing the word "episode", they both felt a sharp pain in their hearts.
"Madam Lauren used to listen to Mr. Landon the most, but even he couldn't calm her down. I'm really
afraid something will happen to her."
Angelina appeared visibly choked up, showing genuine concern for Lauren. "Mr. Landon has tried
everything he can think of. I've been with him for so many years, and I've never seen him so panicked
and at a loss."
The more Alyssa listened, the more distressed she felt. She hurried toward the villa.
"Lauren! Lauren! Please stop crying... Please!"
Lauren was crouched down in the corner of the living room. With her hands clenched tightly, she
trembled all over and sobbed uncontrollably. Her face was as pale as a sheet, and her eyes were now
swollen shut.
"Mom... I want to see Mom..." Lauren's lips quivered, and her voice was almost hoarse.
Landon's reddened eyes contracted sharply. "I can't let you do that."
"Sophia killed Jasper's mother. She's nothing but a heartless murderer! Why do you want to see her?"
Landon's eyes were red. He shouted at her with such a heavy tone for the first time, surprising even
himself.novelbin
