Chapter 109 A Reckless Pursuit

Though unwilling, David gave a perfunctory nod and responded with a half–hearted hum.

Satisfied, Alice left the hospital room with Willow.

At the door, they ran into a woman with a warm, gentle smile–Sharon.

Alice greeted her politely, “Madam Sharon, you’re heret

Sharon returned the smile. “Yes, I was looking for you earlier, Madam Alice, but you weren’t in your room. So I thought I’d check in on Mr. David instead. Didn’t expect to run into you here as well.”

“You’re looking much better. I take it you’re recovering well?”

Alice nodded gratefully. “All thanks to you, Madam Sharon. My injury is healing nicely

Sharon’s tone turned slightly stern. “Even so, you need to rest as much as possible. Health comes first.”

Willow immediately latched onto her mother’s arm, playfully whining. “Mom, you heard the doctor. Let’s get you back to your room.”

Alice smiled and allowed Willow to guide her away.

Sharon watched them leave, a smug glint flashing in her eyes.

Once they were out of sight, she stepped into the room and locked the door behind her.

David had been waiting impatiently, his eyes burning with urgency.

To avoid any prying eyes, he pulled Sharon into the bathroom, tearing at her stockings as he pressed her against the wall.

Sharon eagerly responded, her gaze filled with hunger and desire.

Breathless moans filled the small space, their passion lasting five minutes before the room finally fell

silent.

As Sharon stepped out of the hospital room moments later, the satisfaction on her face disappeared instantly.

He’s getting worse.

For the next three days, Lauren remained at Westhaven Medical Center for recovering.

Every single day, like clockwork, Jeffrey appeared at her hospital room, carrying a fresh bouquet of flowers.

She had no desire to see him. The last thing she wanted was for the Bennett family to notice his visits and start stirring up trouble.

On the fourth morning. Josh arrived to handle her discharge papers.

Not even thirty minutes after she left, Jeffrey showed up, flowers in hand–only to find an empty room.

His face twisted with frustration.

“Damn you, Lauren! I visited couldn’t even tell me you were leaving?”

you every day, and t

What infuriated him more was that he didn’t even have her contact information.

Seething. Jeffrey tossed the bouquet into the nearest trash bin and stormed out of the hospital.

Lauren sat in the back seat as Josh drove through Hoverdale’s busy streets.

The car stopped at a red light.

Lauren turned her head slightly and rolled down the window. A cool breeze brushed against her face, carrying a refreshing chill.

It swept away the suffocating weight that had been pressing on her chest these past days.

She closed her eyes, savoring the sensation, a faint smile gracing her lips–a rare moment of peace.

The light turned green, and the car slowly moved forward.

At that moment, a sleek black luxury car approached from the opposite lane, passing just beside them.

The driver of the luxury car glanced sideways, catching a fleeting glimpse of Lauren just as she was rolling up her window.

Even with only a partial view of her profile, he recognized her instantly.

Lucas’s heart slammed against his ribs, his breath catching in his throat.

“Laurie-!”

His voice rang out, sharp and urgent, cutting through the noise of traffic.

Heads turned, curious bystanders glancing his way.

But Lucas didn’t care.

At that moment, nothing else mattered–only stopping her from leaving again.

Without hesitation, he yanked the steering wheel hard, completely ignoring the traffic around him.

The sudden maneuver threw the surrounding vehicles into chaos.
