The Heiress Revived from the Ashes (Lauren Bennett) novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Whispers at the Window

Finished

Lauren was acutely aware of her deteriorating, health and figured she didn’t have much longer to live. Why drag Mr. Brooker into this?

“Mia, I understand”

Upon hearing this, Mia’s heart leapt with joy, and she asked eagerly, “So, you’re agreeing to leave with me?”

Upstairs, in the embroidery room where just opening a window provided an unobstructed view of the garden below, Felix had insisted on positioning it facing the garden.

He thought that when Lauren felt weary from her embroidery, she could stand by the window and breathe in the fresh air filled with the fragrance of flowers, soothing her body and mind for a moment.

At that moment, Felix leaned lazily by the window, his gaze following Lauren and Mia’s every move in the garden.

Listening to their conversation below, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, his eyebrows involuntarily raised, a hint of intrigued amusement crossing his face.

Marilyn really did raise a sharp–minded daughter. He had thought that Lauren would be coveted by some scheming men outside, but instead, Mia was the one to take her away.

Last time, at Madam Kate’s birthday celebration, Mr. Brooker spent 2.8 million dollars to buy that embroidery piece, which, due to my carelessness, was torn up by Willow.”

As she spoke, guilt and self–reproach flickered in her eyes. “Also, Mr. Brooker has been kind to me. In my most desperate and helpless times, he was there to pull me back from the edge. If it weren’t for him, on the night Elaine woke up, I would have jumped off a bridge.”

That night, she had also drunk two bottles of Felix’s 140,000–dollar wine, which her body couldn’t metabolize, landing her in the hospital.

The medical expenses were also covered by Felix. She kept all these acts of kindness in her heart. I owe Mr. Brooker so much, and I’ve yet to repay him.

Finished

At that moment, she was immensely relieved that Lauren had met Feliz. Otherwise, the might never see Lauren again.

Mia carefully proposed, “Then, how about we go abroad after you’ve repaid Mr. Brooker?

Lauren’s face broke into a gentle smile. “That sounds good”

Now skilled in the heritage craft of Suzhou embroidery, she had a means to support herself even abroad, ensuring she wouldn’t be left destitute,
