Semua Bab Love in the dark: Bab 601 - Bab 610

Laurence saw no need to bring up something Zoey wasn't involved in, as they were unrelated. It was clear that Sarah's disappearance had nothing to do with Zoey, but he couldn't say the same for Jason. Zoey must have told Jason what Sarah had done at the hospital. His niece saw him as a kind gentleman, but he was ruthless in other ways. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to establish himself so quickly. Besides, as Tristan said, Sarah was Miss Popular. She always carried a smile and hardly stepped on anybody's toes. Laurence could count the number of people she had a beef with on one hand. There was no question about who did it. Before heading to Zoey's place, Laurence sent his men to “have a chat" with Jason. He might get some useful answers out of Jason through discreet inquiries. Of course, Laurence would be lying if he denied having tried to make things difficult for Jason. Zoey would be pissed and probably would hate him more if she found out he messed with her uncle again

Paying no heed to Jason's question, Laurence asked, "Okay. I won't ask you where she is. Is she alive?" Jason replied, "I don't know. I don't have the answers." Laurence couldn't fire his gun at Jason like before, as he had reservations. Still, it wasn't as if there weren't other means he could use on Jason, but the image of Zoey hissing her hatred at him with tearful eyes haunted him. How couldn’t Laurence be affected by her hatred for him? Her opinion of him mattered a lot. Laurence was at breaking point and couldn't endure any more of her resentment. That was why he couldn't harm the people she cared about. Laurence's relationship with Zoey was like a broken mirror, its shards too sharp to be repaired. He tried to piece it back together, but the jagged edges only cut him deeper.The security detail dispersed at the wave of Laurence's hand. They walked out of the conference room and stood in the hallway outside the door. Laurence believed Sarah was still alive somewhere. If she

"Does Laurence know you were hospitalized?"Zoey shook her head. She had never been one to initiate contact with Laurence. There was no way she could've told him about the incident. She couldn't wait for the day she’d never have to see his face again. Laurence had been messaging her for a few days now—only concise, to-the-point texts—but she never replied.Rose was puzzled. How odd for him to suddenly appear at the hospital when he hadn't been there for days. "Could he have fallen really sick?" she speculated bitterly. He showed no signs of sickness earlier, though. He was still his usual sullen, unsympathetic self. He paced so fast, almost like a shooting star in the sky. Even the doctors behind him struggled to keep up.Zoey lowered her head and said, "He does go for a physical checkup once a year."Additionally, the Scotts had their own family physician—they would catch even the tiniest change in their health early. Rose felt Laurence's name no longer ought to be mentioned in

Sarah's most serious injury was not on her leg but her face. She flaunted a conspicuous scar that stretched across her left cheek. Although the wound had already scabbed over and had started to recover, the pink scar was still impossible to ignore.It was a devastating blow for a girl whose vanity formed a big part of her life—especially Sarah, who took pride in her looks. Since her hospital admission, she hadn't looked in the mirror. She couldn't bear seeing the prominent scar that now adorned her face.That day, she had been taken away by a taxi. Looking back now, she must have been set up. As soon as she got into the car, she began feeling drowsy and disoriented, and it wasn't until she noticed the scenery growing increasingly desolate did she realize that something was amiss. Sarah had no doubt those people were after her life that day. If she hadn't used her brains, she would have long sunk into the cement.Recalling the incident still sent shivers down her spine. Turning into

Her daughter's hospitalization due to the risk of disfigurement did not hinder Jasmine's plans.She had long kept watch over the nurses in the department. She was certain at least one or two of them kept unspeakable secrets, and swapping babies would be a piece of cake for them. It was this young nurse's first time doing something such as this. She was so nervous she felt like she could empty her guts on the floor.The family members of the mother were all present at the hospital, and each one appeared more influential than the last. She couldn’t afford to provoke any one of them. She instantly regretted her foolishness and greed for some quick bucks.Her timidity looked like it was there to stay. When Jasmine approached her, it immediately spoke for her and expressed her change of mind.Jasmine didn't expect the nurse to be so spineless as to chicken out like this. Her face fell, and she dropped the pretense and niceties. "Who gave you permission to back out of something you agree
