Chapter 168

After sending Hunter back, she returned to her own home and immediately messaged Mr. H.

Tomorrow I was going to go shopping, can I buy you some couple items? For example, cups and toothbrushes.

Over there, it was an instant reply again, as if the phone was right by his side.

Sure.

He was probably afraid that his tone was too cold, so he sent another message.

I was very happy.

Lena's lips curved up as she lay down on the bed. Just as she had settled in, her phone rang, and it was the former dean calling.

Eugene had already been transferred to the large hospital this morning and is still in the same condition.

"Lena, Lauryn is still waiting for you."

Lena had inquired about the situation at the prison these past few days, but the Dawson family, being purely a business family, couldn't extend their reach that far.

She could no longer go to see Clara either, because Clara's relationship with the Farley family was awkward.

As for Hunter, she is still in the stage of atoning for her mistakes, so she dares not owe anyone any favors again.

After thinking and thinking, only Hayden came to mind.

Hayden has been very quiet these days.

She immediately called Hayden, whose voice was hoarse, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Lena was also too lazy to ask further, "Do you have any connections over at Coldloch Prison? I want to bring someone in for a visit."

Hayden instantly got up from the bed, his back covered in blood, having been lying on the bed for several hours.

But Lena rarely called him, so he forced himself to hold his breath.

"Yes, the Reid family wanted to go in easily, but you have to let me accompany you."

Lena agreed and then quickly informed Lauryn.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Hayden's car appeared punctually downstairs where she lived.

When she got on the car, she felt that his hands on the steering wheel were somewhat weak.

"What happened to you?"

Hayden's lips were white, "I... never mind, you would know tomorrow."

Lena was not interested in his matters, so she just nodded and said, "Okay."

When the car stopped at Coldloch Prison, Lauryn was already waiting there. She had come in a hurry, with her hands trembling.

When I saw Lena, I instinctively wanted to kneel down again.

Lena quickly helped her up and said, "Let's go, go inside, your husband should already be waiting for you."

Lauryn wiped the tears off her face and weighed the package she was holding in her hands.

The last time she received a letter from Jacoby, he said that he was always hungry inside and often got beaten. She felt sorry for him, so this time she brought a lot of food with her.

Three people were waiting in the room, with Lauryn anxiously clutching the fabric on her knee, her eyes slightly red, eagerly anticipating seeing Jacoby.

But they hadn't seen each other for several years, and when they met again, they didn't even know what to say.

Lena felt a little sad when she saw herself like this.

Hayden had no idea who Lauryn was, he leaned against the wall, his forehead constantly sweating. Lena even smelled a strong scent of blood coming from him.

But if Hayden didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask.

After ten minutes, someone suddenly opened the door of the room.

"Who was Jacoby's relative?"

Lauryn's eyes lit up, and she stood up tremblingly, "I, I was... where are the others?"

The police officers' faces were filled with regret. "Hello, we regret to inform you that Jacoby passed away half an hour ago."

Lauryn's whole body shook for a moment, and she quickly grabbed onto the nearby wall. "No, no, I have to see him, at least let me see him one last time. I brought his favorite steamed buns for him, this time he definitely won't go hungry."

The police took a step back and said, "He did pass away. We have come to inform you to claim the body. The body is currently in the morgue."

Lena heard this and immediately walked over to Lauryn, supporting her.

He thought that Lauryn would soon faint, but she closed her eyes deeply, with tears already filling her cheeks.

"Please take me to the morgue, if you don't mind."

Lena was also shocked and upset in her heart. On the way to the morgue, the carriage was very stuffy.

After arriving at the destination, she helped Lauryn out of the car.

Lauryn tripped and almost hit her forehead on a sharp stone.

Lena quickly used her hand to block it, and her hand back scraped a bloodstain.

But Lauryn couldn't see, tears had already blurred her vision, and she continued to stumble forward, with Lena following closely behind.

Trembling, Lauryn uncovered the white cloth upon reaching Jacoby's body.

She had thought that she had already become old enough in these years, but Jacoby was even older, thin as a rail, clearly having experienced a lot of hardships.

Seeing this scene, Lauryn couldn't hold back anymore and broke down, crying while holding the body, but not a single word came out, as if she had lost all her ability to speak.

"Ah, ah, ah! Ah, ah, ah!"

She kept shaking Jacoby's body, tears falling heavily onto the corpse.

But the deceased could no longer respond to her.

Lena stood behind Lauryn, feeling an intense hatred towards Leah's heartlessness at that moment.

Because of selfishness, two kind-hearted people were dragged into hell.

Lauryn got tired from shaking and slowly knelt down on the ground, leaning against the edge of the bed, crying. The bony back of her hand revealed protruding blue veins.

Lena wanted to comfort someone, but she felt something blocking her throat. She regretted it a little, she should have dealt with this matter earlier, maybe Lauryn could have seen Jacoby one last time.

Lauryn finished crying, composed herself, covered Jacoby's body, and then turned around to bow to Lena a few times.

Lena was so scared that she was about to kneel down.

"Ms. Rodgers, I'm sorry, I was too slow."

Lauryn remained silent and shook her head, then pointed to her own throat.

In the face of immense sorrow, people truly lost their ability to communicate.

She wanted to comfort Lena now, but she couldn't say a word. She could only point to her own throat and shake her head.

Lena's heart was instantly stabbed, causing her great pain.
