Semua Bab The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die: Bab 251 - Bab 260

“I look like a ghost now… What’s the point of staying alive like this…? Can I even keep going…?” Layla sobbed, her voice breaking between gasps.William’s heart twisted in pain. He held onto her trembling body beneath the blanket, his arms tightening protectively. His eyes burned red. Taking a deep breath, he forced his voice to remain steady. “Layla, listen to me. You’re not going to die. You can make it through this.“I know it hurts, but you have to hold on. If you push through this, there’s hope. Trust me—things will get better.” But Layla was too lost in her own emotions to hear him. She cried, her sobs raw and gut-wrenching, until all that remained was a desperate, anguished wail echoing through the hospital room. *News of Layla’s emotional breakdown reached the doctor. By the time he rushed back from his rounds, she had already fallen into a medicated sleep. “This kind of situation is actually quite common,” the doctor said, looking at Layla with deep concern. “

“Even if they regret not spending more time with him, it’s too late now. Who are they trying to impress, crying so loudly? Weren’t they just as loud when they were arguing before?“Everyone knew they were doing it on purpose, making a scene so the old man would give in.”Carter had always hated how fake adults could be, and right now, he felt even more indignant on the old man’s behalf.“He’s gone…” Layla murmured, repeating the words as if in deep thought. Sensing the sudden shift in her emotions, William lifted his gaze and shot Carter a look. Carter instantly shut up. “Crap. Did I just say something I shouldn’t have?” he wondered.*Thankfully, Layla didn’t seem to dwell on the conversation. She continued her treatments and checkups as usual throughout the day. That evening, Carter returned with dinner, just as William stepped out to take a work call. He had just set the thermos down when Layla suddenly spoke. “Mrs. Lucas hasn’t gone back yet, has she?” Car

Sean sniffled, then quickly composed himself. “Sorry, I lost my cool.” Scarlett, however, was unfazed. She cut straight to the point. “So what you’re saying is, if you see Layla, she’ll leave with you. Is that right?” Sean nodded without hesitation. “That’s right. William won’t let me see her because he’s afraid I’ll take her away.” Seeing how confident he was, Scarlett thought for a moment before nodding. “Good. Then I found the right person.“I’ll arrange for you to see Layla. Your job is to take her away for further treatment. I’ll keep William distracted. Whatever happens, I’ll take full responsibility. Do we have a deal?” Sean’s face lit up. “Of course! No problem at all!” “Good. Then it’s settled.” Scarlett picked up her phone and replied to Layla’s message. “I stand by what I said. What’s your plan?” Layla’s response came almost immediately. “Let’s go with what you suggested before. But it has to be done behind Mr. Lucas’s back. That part is up to you

Sean froze. “Layla, are you mad at me? I only ended up with Kiera because I had no choice.”“I don’t care who you’re with, or how it happened. And I’m definitely not mad about it.” Layla met his eyes head-on. “How many times do I have to say it before you finally believe we’re done?”“You chose Kiera, so be loyal to your choice. Don’t bring your fake feelings here and pretend they’re love—it’s disgusting.”With that, she turned to the two bodyguards in black, her voice sharp with displeasure. “Where’s Mrs. Lucas? Don’t tell me even this man was part of her plan?”“Layla, Mrs. Lucas asked me to bring you—”“I’d rather die than go with you!” Layla’s tone suddenly turned fierce. Her eyes stayed fixed on the guards. “Go ask Mrs. Lucas yourself—if she doesn’t want me dying in her hands, she’d better make sure this man disappears from my sight.”The two bodyguards exchanged uneasy glances. This wasn’t what Mrs. Lucas had told them to expect. “Layla, don’t be like t

“Mrs. Lucas!” Sean called out, but Scarlett didn’t stop. He clenched his jaw in frustration, teeth grinding. He couldn’t let Layla stay with the Lucases—not a chance. *As night fell, Scarlett arrived at Layla’s room with a full medical team behind her. She nodded to the guards at the door, who promptly opened it.“Layla, it’s time to go.”But when she stepped inside, her eyes immediately scanned the room and froze. Layla was gone.“Layla Xander!”Scarlett stormed around the room, checking every corner, then spun around and shouted at the guards outside. “Where is she?! Where did she go?!”One of the guards looked completely panicked. “She… wasn’t she in the room this whole time?”“Open your damn eyes! Do you see her anywhere? What, you think a terminally ill woman just vanished into thin air?!” Scarlett was fuming.Then the guard slapped his forehead like he just remembered something. “Right! It must’ve been Mr. Perry!”“What?!”“About half an hour ago, h
