Semua Bab Can't Win Me Back: Bab 591 - Bab 600

Usually, surgeries for the eardrums had to be scheduled way in advance. However, because the hospital was concerned Landon might actually demolish it, they arranged for Lauren's surgery to be done immediately the morning after.Landon hadn't slept a wink or had a bite since the night before, and Angelina followed suit.Angelina had stayed loyal to Landon for ten years, the only woman in his life for so long that had never been swapped or replaced. Angelina would always be by his side when a female companion was needed for whatever events he attended. Some people would come and compliment her for her looks and how well they looked together, but Landon would only chuckle and say, "I see you're a man of culture as well."Angelina knew very well that nothing beyond their current relationship would ever be possible and never hoped for such. She was privy to his habits by now and knew his boundaries when it came to other women. They could fool around and sleep together, but there

"Lyse, I grew up with Landon. I know him in and out. He may be fond of women, but he doesn't just sleep with anyone." Jasper tried his best to console Alyssa while defending his friend. Landon continued, "He wouldn't dare do anything to Lauren. She's my sister, after all.""Like hell! Landon would sleep with anyone who isn't related to him!" Alyssa yelled. "You'd better get on your knees and pray Landon didn't so much as touch Lauren, or I'm cutting his fingers off one by one!""Alright," came the calm reply.Alyssa was taken aback. "What?" "I said, alright. I agree with your decision. If something did happen, you can get to work on his left hand. I'll go for the right one."Alyssa was truly left speechless now.Hoes before bros, indeed.…Lauren was transferred to a general ward after her surgery. She lay weakly in bed, face as pale as the hospital gown she wore."How do you feel? Does it still hurt?" Landon asked tenderly, gazing into her doe-like eyes.Lauren shook her

Landon, especially, stared fixedly at the young woman in his arms as a sudden thought surfaced in his mind.He wanted to bring Lauren home with him.So, so much.Alyssa was unbelievably shocked. "Lauren, you … want to … ""Landon … '' Lauren mumbled, nuzzling into Landon's chest and making his heart skip. "I want to go home with you."…Alyssa and Jasper had no choice but to respect Lauren's choice under her insistence.Jasper then had Landon follow him to the smoking area to speak to him."What happened to Lauren's ear, Landon?" Jasper asked, placing a cigarette between his lips and offering his friend another."What happened?" Hatred and cold fury flared in Landon's gaze. "Your spoiled bitch of a sister, Betty, happened!""She's not my sister. I only have one sister and her name is Lauren." Jasper bristled at the mention of Betty. "So, Betty hurt Lauren?"Landon nearly ground his teeth into dust. The cigarette in his hand almost broke in two under his furious pinching. "If

Alyssa left the hospital without so much as a word to Jasper. Though he'd left her with an incomplete puzzle, she wasn't going to grovel for the entire thing. She'd rather figure it out herself than ask. It was high time she stepped back into her spotlight after what she'd endured for three years.On the way back to the villa, Sean called her."Ms. Alyssa, we were unable to find any information on Jasper directly, but we did find some interesting things pertaining to Justin Beckett.""Being Beckett Group's CEO, it only makes sense that anything personally related to him is entirely off the records. You're getting smarter, Sean." Alyssa grinned.Sean savored the praise and continued, "Justin Beckett was a victim of a kidnap when he was 11 years old.""Kidnap?""Yes. But there is virtually no news about this incident on the World Wide Web, not even in the newspapers. The Beckett family must have silenced all potential leaks on this incident. "If it weren't for the police's reco

Jasper knew mentioning the issues in the Harper family would only upset Landon, so he rarely brought it up, though it remained an area of concern for him.Alyssa continued, "Mrs. Harper is a woman with traditional beliefs. After her husband's unfortunate passing, the hope of the family now lies on Landon's shoulders. "If she already has a grudge against Betty, how could Lauren ever make it past her? Landon adores and respects his mother. "Do you think he'd challenge her just to be with Lauren? Don't forget that cunning sister of his, too, who's been using Betty as a pawn to get her way. Do you think she'd treat Lauren any differently?"If Lauren really stays by Landon's side, it would upset his entire family system and only cause more disturbance to her life. Would Lauren truly be happy, then? "Even if Landon loved her with all her might, their love would slowly crumble under the weight of all these obstacles sooner or later. Not to mention how innocent Lauren is—what could she
