Chapter 581
Landon escorted Lauren into the car, with Angelina at the wheel as they departed from SeaviewManor’s
grounds.
Inside the vehicle, he tenderly embraced Lauren and ran his fingers through her hair, his heart heavywith
pain.
He had dropped by Seaview Manor to invite Jasper for drinks. He’d never expected to run into thefiasco.
He replayed the memories of Nina’s indignant speech and Lauren’s wounds on her arms withresentment. A searing pain surged through his body, unlike anything he had ever experienced.Although he had endured heartbreak after Alyssa’s rejection, this anguish far surpassed any previouspain.
Inhaling sharply, he rested his jaw on Lauren’s head and shut his eyes. He vowed that he would keephis
word to protect Lauren.
“Mr. Harper, where should we go next?” Angelina whispered, looking at him through the rearviewmirror.
Landon was caught off-guard by the question. He had told Betty he’d bring Lauren with him, but he
couldn’t host Lauren at his place. He’d be in grave trouble if Jasper heard about it.
“Laurie, I’ll drop you off at Jasper’s. Or how about Alyssa’s place? Would you like to spend the nightthere?
* he asked Lauren gently, lowering his gaze.
She winced and held her left ear, offering no response.
*Lauren? Lauren?” Landon called out to her a few times, but she did not seem to hear him. Instead,she
incessantly mumbled, “It hurts…”
“Where does it hurt?”
Lauren looked up at him, the red marks still visible on her cheek. When their eyes met, the sparkle inher
eyes moved his heart.
“Landon, I’m sorry. I know you are speaking to me, but I can’t hear younovelbin
“Why can’t you hear me? Landon inquired with worry. Slowly, Lauren removed her hand from her leftear,
revealing blood on her palm.
Landon took a sharp breath as his mind went blank. Pained, he instructed Angelina, “Angelina, head tothe
hospital now!”
