Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 979

Chapter 979 

“Search for Lauren,” Landon yelled, slamming a fist onto the window sill with rage. “… even if you have to turn the place upside down!” 

“Roger that! I’ll get a few people to look for her,” Angelina answered and immediately went into action. 

Silence encapsulated the room, which soothed Landon’s nerves. After calming down, he heard a vague sobbing from somewhere in the 

room that tugged at his heartstrings. 

“Lauren!” Elated, he ran into the bedroom, where the sobbing grew louder. His heart shattered with each cry. 

Finally, he stopped in front of the closet. The sobbing was loud and clear, accompanied by the ruffling of clothes. 

Slowly, he opened the doors, only to hold his breath at what he saw 

next. 

Lauren’s frail body curled in a damp corner like a stray with no home. 

She hugged her knees, her dark bangs clinging to her sweaty forehead. After hiding in the closet for a while, she looked a little out of breath, and her cheeks were flushed. 

“L-Landon …” She burst into tears when she saw him. “Is Nina dead? 

Is it true?” 

Landon could not bear to see teardrops rolling down her cheeks. He opened his arms and lifted her out of the closet. 

He was surprised when he touched her skin. Her skin was hot to the touch, probably because she hid in the closet for too long. 

Teary-eyed, he choked when he comforted her, “I’m sorry. Lauren, I’m 

really only.

loss for words, he could only repeatedly apologize to her as he tried to navigate his messy thoughts. 

“Is Nina … dead? Is it real…” Lauren repeated the question. 

He patiently coaxed her, “Nina went to a better place. She’ll be happier there.” 

Soon after, Lauren fell into a deep sleep, perhaps due to exhaustion, the lack of air, and the extreme sadness. 

Landon quickly called the Harpers’ family doctor to check on her. After confirming that she was suffering from grief and low blood sugar, the doctor gave her an IV drip and prescribed bed rest, much to 

Landon’s relief. 

Kneeling by the bed, Landon held Lauren’s hand throughout the checkup. His lips brushed against her arm anxiously. 

Angelina appeared and informed Landon, “Mr. Landon, your car is ready. It’s time to go.”
