The Heiress Revived from the Ashes (Lauren Bennett) novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 The Turning Point

“Lauren… how did you become like this?” Lucas muttered, his voice filled with confusion and pain.

Lauren didn’t care what they thought of her. Her only concern was to save Elaine.

At that moment, Kate, Anna, and Marilyn rushed overd formed a barrier between Lauren and Elliot,

Lucas.

Marilyn looked at Lauren with determination and said loudly, “Ms. Bennett, do whatever you have to do. I’ll always support you.”

Kate and Anna also nodded firmly, their eyes filled with trust and encouragement.

This scene brought a flood of emotions to Lauren’s heart. Tears streamed down her face.

My own family had never believed in me and had always hurt me.

The warmth she felt only came from Marilyn and strangers.

My family had abandoned me, but the world had not.

She didn’t know if that was a blessing or a curse.

There were so many things she wanted to say, but at this tense moment, she couldn’t.

Lauren abruptly turned around, dropped the blood–stained fruit knife, and rushed to Elaine’s bedside to begin CPR.

Her hands quickly and forcefully pressed on Elaine’s chest as she shouted, “Elaine, you have to wake up. You can’t die. I’ve already spent five years in prison because of you. Do you want me to be sentenced to death for your death?”

I wasn’t afraid of dying.

But I can’t accept the idea that my enemies will live on while am gone.

When Willow saw Lauren desperately trying to save Elaine, she was both shocked and terrified.

I had used all my strength to strangle Elaine carlier.

But before I could confirm whether Elaine was dead or not, Lauren had burst in,

She was terrified that Lauren might actually save Elaine

Her eyes flickered with panic, but everyone’s attention was focused on Lauren and Elaine, so no one noticed her guilty expression.

Time passed by second by second. Sweat poured down Lauren’s forehead, soaking her clothes. Her arms, numb from the long, intense pressure, were almost beyond feeling. But driven by sheer willpower, she mechanically and precisely repeated every move.

Seeing Elaine’s unresponsive face, Lauren’s fear grew.

She carefully pinched Elaine’s nose, took a deep breath and leaned down, pressing her lips to Elaine’s to perform mouth–to–mouth resuscitation.

When Willow saw that Elaine still showed no signs of waking up, she slowly relaxed.

A faint, almost imperceptible smile curled her lips.

Hahaha, Elaine must be dead. Now I have nothing to fear..

Seeing Lauren desperately trying to save Elaine, Elliot and Lucas felt a mix of emotions.

If Lauren really wanted to kill Elaine, why was she trying so hard to save her now?

Wasn’t that unnecessary?

Or was she just putting on a show for their benefit?

Given what they knew about Lauren, the latter seemed most likely.

Their eyes flickered before finally settling into a firm contempt.

“Lauren, don’t think that your fake CPR can wash away your crimes against Elaine,” Elliot said with a frown.

Lucas sighed. “Laurie, you have disappointed me so much.”
