Winston had no choice but to offer some consolation. "Ever since our hospital started working with Lovelace Pharmaceuticals, we've become the top hospital in the country. Your son will definitely make it out safely under our doctors' care."Javier pursed his lips, quietly grumbling to himself about how the hospitals under their company were just as capable. Even now, Winston was still bragging!All of a sudden, the ER doors opened. Two of the country's best neurologists came outside, sporting uncertain expressions.Alyssa immediately tensed up. She wanted to run up to them right away to ask how Jasper was. But her tumultuous emotions kept her feet locked to the spot."Doctor! Doctors, how is my grandson?" Newton rushed over with Javier's help.Alyssa's heart clenched painfully at the sight of the old man's legs wobbling weakly under his weight."Things aren't as good as we hoped. Mr. Jasper is still in a critical condition," one of the doctors said.An invisible ray of lightning

Dressed extravagantly, Zoe looked like some prissy princess beside Penelope. She was no longer the meek, tearful little girl she used to be in front of Landon. When she saw Lauren, her gaze turned dark and hateful, as if she wanted nothing more than to lunge at Lauren right now."Let me introduce you, Mom." Zoe's smile didn’t reach her eyes. "This is Ms. Lauren Beckett from the Beckett family. She was my classmate in middle school. She's now Landon's girlfriend. Hahaha … isn't that such a coincidence?"Lauren's heart pricked painfully upon hearing the term 'girlfriend'. She looked down at her feet, face flushing red. Her low self-esteem hit her like a brick, making her pull her hand away from Landon's grip.But Landon held on tight, as if he were able to read her mind."Are you done, Zoe?" Landon said, a hint of anger in his tone.Zoe grinned, using her mother as a defense. "Why so angry, Landon? Am I wrong? "Or do you plan to keep Ms. Lauren out here to yourself forever b

Finally, Landon found Lauren in the playground, sitting alone on the children's swing."Lauren … "Lauren's hair and her red cloak were coated in a layer of snow, making her look like a snowman.Silly girl. How long has she been sitting out here in the cold?Heart aching at the sight, Landon slowly walked up to her. "There you are, Lauren."He knelt down on one knee before her, sweaty palms holding onto her cold hands that were locked around her teddy bear."How … how did you find me?" Lauren asked, blinking in surprise."Our hearts are connected, Lauren. I would be able to find you no matter where you go," Landon croaked out lightly.He caressed her flushed cheeks as the pain in his chest swelled. "You're never running away from me again, Lauren."Lauren's eyes grew downcast as she went silent."It's so cold out here. Why don't you come home with me?""I want to live with Grandpa, Landon." Lauren slowly inched her hands out from Landon's. "I called Grandpa's assistant, Mr

The Beckett family remained gathered outside the surgery room until 9:00 am the next morning. Javier and Newton stared fixedly at the door, with the former helping the latter stand.Sophia had used the excuse that she was tired to return home to rest. Newton despised her, and she didn’t give a damn about Jasper. So there was no point faking her concern any longer."Why isn't Lyse out yet? It's been so long." Winston gazed at the surgery room, feeling uneasy."Brain surgery isn't a small feat. Some take entire days to complete." Jonah consoled his father, patting his back. "Don't worry. Lyse is stronger and more capable than you think. This surgery will definitely be a success.""I'm not worried about that. I'm just concerned that Alyssa won’t be able to handle staying up for an entire night without rest. "Isn't she tired? Did she have time to eat a bite or drink some water?"If Jonah hadn’t stopped Winston, he would have barged into the room to check on Alyssa himself.Jona

Zoe's heart dropped into her stomach. Face flushed, she hurriedly explained, "I don't mean anything untoward, Grandpa Newton, nor do I want to cause anymore trouble for you guys … I'm just trying to do what I can to help!"I may not be the most capable, but at least I never injured Jasper! I didn't hurt him so bad that he ended up suffering on a cold surgical table!""Enough, Zoe!" Landon cried, walking over to stop her.Newton's expression grew cold. He asked sharply, "Are you blaming Alyssa? Do you think she was the one who did this to my grandson?""I … I … " Zoe stammered.Of course she did! Of course, it was Alyssa's fault! But Zoe couldn't say that out loud. Newton was clearly biased towards Alyssa.Just then, the sound of doors opening rang through the hallway.Everyone turned to see the surgical room doors open.Winston and Jonah leapt from their seats while everyone else hurried over to the door.Two medical personnel exited first, followed by slow, heavy steps.A
