Female Novel
Chapter 1885
For Lauren, who seemed to have boundless wealth and privilege, the idea of going on a roller coaster had been a luxury shecouldn't afford for the past 20 years.
She was born to be a bird soaring in the sky, but her wings were clipped by others, and she was confined in a cage.Was it because of her illness? Was it just to prevent her from bringing shame upon the family?
Cyrus’ breath became heavier, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her soft hair.
Lauren's heart skipped a beat, and she moved back instinctively.
Such intimate gestures used to happen every day between her and Landon.
But when someone else, even Cyrus, whom she trusted deeply, touched her, she couldn't help but feel flustered anduncomfortable, which inadvertently showed in her eyes.
Cyrus suddenly froze, then forced a bitter smile.
She still wasn't ready to accept another person's affection.
Maybe it would take a very long time. Or perhaps it would never happen.
Seeing that it was almost time, the two headed toward the dolphin exhibit, preparing to watch the dolphin show.
As they arrived at the entrance, someone in the crowd pointed at Lauren and whispered, "Look, isn't that the mental daughterfrom the Beckett family?"
"Hey... | think so. She looks a hundred times better in person than in the photos."
"What's the use of being pretty if she's mental?"
"Is that true? She seems pretty normal to me. Who's that hot guy next to her? Her boyfriend? He's so hot!"
As the murmurs reached Lauren's ears, her heart raced. She hugged her teddy bear tightly, her eyes widening in helplessness.
The next moment, her trembling body was instantly enveloped in a warm and strong embrace, with sturdy arms securelyprotecting her.
"It's okay, Lauren. I'm here." Cyrus' voice was low, giving her a sense of security.Lauren's mind went blank. "Cyrus, | don't want to watch the show anymore. Let's go.""Okay." Following her wishes, Cyrus quickly led her away from the dolphin exhibit.
Only when they were away from the gossiping crowd did Lauren's pale complexion ease slightly. However, her mood was farfrom as cheerful and happy as when they had arrived.
"Cyrus, let's go back," she said with her lowered lashes trembling slightly. "It's enough. I've had a lot of fun, and I'm very happy."
“Lauren, don't pay attention to what they say."
Cyrus got down on one knee in front of her, raising his handsome face to meet her gaze. "Always remember, people live forthemselves, not to cater to others’ opinions.
