Chapter 143 Desperately Needing Dr. Garth
Dominic left with Aurelia.
Eleanor was so furious that her chest heaved. She could barely stay on her feet and ended up sitting heavily on the bench in the corridor.
Lauren was still crying.
“Stop crying,” Eleanor said.
Crying wouldn’t make Dominic stay.
She truly had no idea what kind of spell Aurelia had cast.
After causing such chaos these past few days, Dominic still refused to divorce her.
Now it even looked as though he cared more about her than before.
Lauren lifted her tear-blurred eyes to look at Eleanor. In that instant, there was a chill in her gaze that was identical to Marilyn’s.
Eleanor felt a jo 1/7

Any thoughts she had of distancing herself from Lauren because Marilyn’s situation was uncertain were instantly suppressed by that stare.

“My husband abandons me,” Lauren said, her voice tight, “my son is struggling between life and death, and you are impatient with me for crying?”
The word impatient landed hard.
Eleanor’s heart lurched. “No, I, you…”
“Adrian is with Aurelia, and you say nothing,” Lauren cut in sharply. “Why are you impatient with me?”
“That is not Adrian. That is Dominic. Adrian has already—”
“That is Adrian. My Adrian. That is my husband.” Lauren interrupted her brutally.
Eleanor fell silent.
“The one who died was Dominic, not Adrian. Not my husband.”
Depression?
Who could really say whether a condition like that was real or

not?
Eleanor’s chest tightened. “I told you. That is Dominic.”
Her tone hardened.
Lauren looked at her, the hatred in her eyes turning colder.
Lydia felt her own heart pounding as she watched the atmosphere between them. “Mom, don’t-”
“Shut up,” Eleanor snapped at Lydia.
Lydia froze.
She wanted to ask what was going on. Eleanor had clearly been so good to Lauren before.
Why this change now?
She couldn’t keep up with Eleanor’s shift in attitude and turned to comfort Lauren instead.
“My mom just wants you to pull yourself together. You-”
“I only want my husband. Is that wrong?” Lauren said.
Lydia fell silent.

“I want my son to live. I want my husband to stay with me. Is that wrong?”
“No, no, of course not. You are right. Please calm down,” Lydia said quickly.
Knowing Lauren was supposedly depressed, Lydia tried her best to go along with her.
But just as she was about to soothe Lauren, Eleanor spoke again.
“You are not wrong,” Eleanor said coldly. “But the fact is that Adrian has already-”
“Mom, what are you doing?” Lydia cut her off.
Had Eleanor not been the one repeatedly warning them not to stimulate Lauren’s depression?
Had she not said that the more she was stimulated, the worse it would get, and that they had to go along with whatever she said?
Those had been Eleanor’s own words.
And now she was the one pushing hardest.

Adrian. Ask him to come back, please. Leo and I both need
him.”
Eleanor’s attitude had changed.
But Lydia, who had always been close to Lauren, couldn’t stand seeing her like this.
She was about to call Dominic when Eleanor snatched the phone from her hand.
“Call him for what?” Eleanor snapped. “Can’t you see how much he treasures Aurelia right now? If he comes, Aurelia will
come with him.”
And the last person Eleanor wanted to see was Aurelia.
“Mom, can you stop saying things like that?” Lydia pleaded.
Treasures Aurelia?
To Lauren, Dominic is Adrian.
Saying that now is only provoking her.
Lauren stared at Eleanor, her eyes growing colder by the
second.

Because something had happened to Marilyn, Eleanor’s attitude toward her had changed as well.

Marilyn wasn’t even finished yet, and Eleanor was already turning on her.
If the Drake family truly collapsed, how would Eleanor treat her then? Would she end up being treated like Aurelia?
Lauren and Eleanor seemed locked in a standoff.
If Lydia had not been there to mediate, the two of them might have erupted into a full confrontation.
Then Leo was brought out.
His condition was very poor. Once again, the doctors emphasized James.
Eleanor’s mind was in chaos. On one hand, she was tormented by the fear of Leo’s suffering.
On the other hand, she had to guard against Lauren and ensure she didn’t continue coveting Dominic.
When James was mentioned again, Eleanor’s breathing

“Is there really no other way?”
From Dominic’s attitude alone, it was obvious how difficult it was to bring James in.
People had already been sent to Germany, yet there was still no useful news.
The doctor shook his head. “In cases like this, Dr. Garth is the only one. Worldwide, he has successfully operated on five such cases.”
Five cases?
Which means that in anyone else’s hands…
At that thought, both Eleanor’s and Lauren’s faces darkened.
So if Leo was to survive, James had to be brought as soon as
possible.
Lauren sank down onto the bench.
Under her breath, she murmured, “Then when will DI
