LOGINLauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)“So, what’s your opinion?” I asked him absentmindedly and closed my eyes again.“The hospital still hired employees from the third party for groundwork,” he remarked and I smiled.He was intelligent.I did not doubt it.“Either they had set up those weapons inside the meeting room before the meeting or someone from the police department intentionally let those people go inside with weapons.” He added and I smiled widely.I have already asked my security chief, Mack, to check all the meeting rooms and other public areas where we can have a meeting or gathering.The meeting room we chose was random.“But…” he trailed off, and I rolled my eyes.He had always this dramatic.“What?” I asked him annoyingly.“Why they chose to ambush you this time when they knew that there is nothing that anyone could do to make you change your decision. The test subjects are already at the institute. Of course, no lab can throw them out just because they need to give that slot to
Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)“What are you doing?” I asked him annoyingly.“You are exhausted. This can wait till morning,” he replied to me.“Nolan,” I called him sternly when he was about to move away.He stopped and smiled awkwardly.“Continue,” I ordered him.He looked at Vincent, and it infuriated me again.“What? You will listen to your employer only?” I questioned him, pushing my head straight again.“Lauren.” Vincent cupped my face and tried to move it towards him, but I smacked his hand away.“This is not something that I can leave for later, Vincent. They are tightening their grip around me, and I still have no idea who the real mastermind is.” I almost yelled at him, trying to move away from him.My anger was spiking, and I knew that I was being unreasonable right now, but I was really fed up with all the threats coming my way all the time.“I know the severity of the situation, love, but tonight, you and your mind need a good rest. Tomorrow, we will deal with everything.” H
Lauren’s P.O.V.“I will advise you not to go to the hospital for a few days, or it will be better if you go back, Ms. Shaw. I don’t need to tell you that it wouldn’t be the last attack on you. They will come after you again.” The police chief, Harold Shepherd, said to me in a serious tone at the end of the whole discussion about the attack on me tonight.If it weren’t for the quick action of my security team with the police squad there, I would be in grave danger.I took all the precautions, but no one could predict where things could go wrong during an attack by a mob.All of them were now in custody, and I had no intention of letting them go off the hook.“I am a doctor first, Mr. Shepherd,” I replied to him calmly, tightening my grip on Vincent’s hand in the process.Despite his own condition, he reached the hospital before things got worse or I got severely injured.“Above all, the research has already started. Even if they are just test subjects for the rest of the world, for me,
Vincent’s P.O.V. (Continued)The fury that ignited in my chest was enough to bury the whole building at once.“And you are telling me about Joyce finding a date for Lauren instead of telling me what kind of mess she is facing right now?” I almost yelled at Caellum while signalling for Nolan.“She is Lauren Shaw, Vincent. Do I or you need to provide her support or aid in these kinds of situations?” Caellum questioned back, but it only infuriated me more.“Yes, she is Lauren Shaw, but don’t forget that she is still human. She is not a superwoman.” I almost roared at the top of my lungs.The pain in my chest shot up instantly, but I didn’t even hiss.“Yes, she is human, and I trusted you with her, Vincent. When was the last time you talked to her today?” he questioned back, anger evident in his voice.I opened my mouth to retort but shut it because I had no answer to this question.She asked me to call her whenever I finish my work, but I didn’t even message her once today.“This program
Vincent’s P.O.V.“Lupus Wick grounded himself that very same night, and now his whereabouts are unknown,” Nolan reported to me in a serious tone.“He has already left the country. Keep eyes on his organisation and all the people working behind the scenes instead of wasting time and energy on his whereabouts.” I instructed him calmly but cracked my neck in the end.I had four back-to-back meetings while taking care of other business meetings.I had been working nonstop for more than seven hours, and now it had worn me completely out.“Anything else that needs my attention now?” I asked Nolan while rolling my neck.I looked at him questioningly when he didn’t answer me but pursed his lips into a thin line, giving me a troubled look.I didn’t ask him again but waited for him to say what he needed to say.I looked at my phone when it started ringing at the same time.I sighed and took the call.“Get me coffee,” I instructed Nolan, putting the phone to my ear.“Hey, Caellum,” I greeted him
Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)Wanda instantly took the phone out and opened it.Her expression turned dark instantly.“As I expected.” She mumbled and looked at me.At the same time, I also received a notification, but I didn’t need to look at it.“Mason’s parents have contacted the media, stating that the Shaw Institute is biased towards patients like Mason, and everything that you did was to earn fame and stay in the limelight.” She told me grimly.I just smiled and moved my gaze to the page in front of me.“Don’t frown too much. You will have wrinkles before the age.” I teased her instead of saying something about the message she received.“Just tell the PR not to respond quickly. They know their work,” I instructed her calmly and started reading the report.“Yes, Ms. Shaw,” she replied and almost ran out of the room.It was her second job, but the first one wasn’t in a big organisation.That was why she was taking her time to settle down with me.For the next few minutes, the silenc
Gabriel’s P.O.V.I thought that admitting my mistake of misunderstanding Lauren would ease my guilt of asking for a divorce, but it only made me feel worse.I painted her as a gold digger in my heart before asking for a divorce, but what I learned in the past two days made me feel worse than I felt
Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Joyce.” I called her in a soft and hoarse voice, as I was still feeling some pain in my throat, to stop her from lashing out.I looked at Gabriel as if I were looking at a stranger, not someone with whom I spent three years of my life.When he was in the wheelchair, I w
Lauren's P.O.V.I groaned in pain, trying to move my body a little, but screamed in pain. My whole body felt like it was crushed under a fully loaded truck. "Lauren.... Lauren." I heard Joyce calling my name worriedly, but I was in so much pain that I only whimpered again instead of opening my eyes
Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)“What the f**k? Are you trying to kill me by popping out of nowhere in front of me?” I yelled at Gabriel Westfield, my now ex-husband.My hold on my suitcase was so tight that I almost dug my nails inside my palm in fear.“What are you wearing?” he asked me in a shocked
