She Is A CEO

Chapter 1061 Heartache Like a Cut

As soon as Lauren spoke up, Nia immediately fell silent.

Eve lowered her head in grievance, desperately trying to suppress the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes.

"Eve, what's wrong?" Lauren asked with concern, walking up to Eve and inquiring about her unusual behavior.

"I'm fine... just worried about my sister..." Eve shook her head slowly, her small head, slender neck, and slightly trembling shoulders all revealing fragility.

Lauren's eyes suddenly turned cold, shooting towards Nia like arrows.

Nia hurriedly flashed an awkward smile and gently stroked Eve's hair, saying in a low voice, "Eve is just worried about my health. I told her it's okay but she still can't rest assured... Mr. Osade, could you please persuade her for me?"Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Nia was a natural at telling lies, with a poker face and steady heartbeat.

Lauren sneered inwardly and reached out to grab Eve's arm, pulling her up. He saw tears welling up in Eve's eyes and spoke coldly,

"It's morning now. Eve and I are going to have breakfast first, and we'll bring some food back for you later."

Only Lauren can understand what was being said, and at this point Eve was in so much pain that even breathing hurt.

"Okay, okay. You've taken care of me all night and it's been hard work. Go ahead now. There's no need to rush," Nia said repeatedly.

Lauren pulled Eve and turned around to leave. When there was no one in the room, Nia's eyes gradually darkened. Forget it, even if he heard it, what difference would it make! Anyway, she must make sure that Eve helped her achieve this wish!

Casper must die!

In the hallway, Lauren had already grabbed Eve's arm and led her towards the door without saying a word about what had happened.

Eve was led forward by Lauren like a robot until they arrived at a nearby restaurant and sat down. Eve remained in a daze, and Lauren let out a soft sigh before ordering breakfast and quietly accompanying her.

Almost everything Eve ate for breakfast was fed to her by Lauren, and she couldn't taste anything as it was almost finished. She just held back tears in her eyes.

"Shall we go back to the hotel and rest? I'll leave Stoffer and Dely here to take care of your sister and Kevin," Lauren couldn't bear it anymore, and didn't want Eve to go back to Nia's side.

Eve was first stunned, and then slowly shook her head.

"So you can still hear me talking," Lauren picked up a napkin and wiped it around Eve's lips, laughing self-deprecatingly.

"Lauren, I..." Eve knew she had been neglecting Lauren and finally snapped out of it, feeling very sorry for him.

"Sorry."

"You have nothing to feel sorry about," Lauren said with a smile, "No one can force me to do what I don't want to do."

Upon hearing this, Eve couldn't help but blink her eyes. Her thoughts at that moment were surprisingly clear. "Did you hear everything my sister and I just said?"

"You guys were arguing so loudly. It's hard for me not to hear," Lauren didn't deny.

At this moment, Eve's hard-won calm emotions were once again stirred up, and her eyes became wet and red again.

"I love you dearly, but I can't comfort you," Lauren sighed and brushed the corner of Eve's eyes with his thumb. "Nia will never give up until she reaches her goal, but this time I will not compromise. Even if it's because of you, it's okay to help her escape, but help her kill someone?"

Lauren couldn't help but sneer that Nia must be trying to mess with her mind!

"I know that even if you are willing to help, I won't let you do it. "After several times of asking Lauren to help her sister, Eve was exhausted, but she had her own principles and would never allow anything illegal like murder. She won't ask Lauren for help and will never allow her sister to do it either!

"Can you stick to your principles in front of her?" This was what Lauren said, and it was also where her own dilemma lied.

Eve's love for Nia was selfless.

Eve lowered her eyes, thinking of what her sister said just now. The heart-piercing pain was nothing more than that, but why did her sister say such words?

Lauren knew that Eve was conflicted, but at this point he cannot help but remind her,

"Eve, there will never be a day when people's desire will be satisfied. Don't you realize that Nia's demands on you are getting more and more? This time she even wanted me to help her kill, but next time? Do you think she have no ambitions anymore after getting the so-called safety? Do you think she won't let you come and beg me to do other things?"

Lauren's questions hit the nail on the head one by one, and Eve's head lowered more and more, unable to even speak a word in defense of her sister.

"Eve..." Lauren felt even more sorry when he saw the situation, and began to reflect on whether he had acted too hastily and made things too difficult for her.

"I won't compromise this time," Eve suddenly raised her head, with a determined gleam in her eyes. "I won't let my sister continue to make mistakes!"

Lauren placed his hand on Eve's back of the hand and said sympathetically, "Then you have to be strong yourself."

Eve nodded gently and reached out to hold Lauren's hand, quietly drawing courage from his palm.

After breakfast, they prepared a take-out for Nia. When they returned to the ward, only Stoffer was left outside. Lauren asked and found out that Nia insisted on going to see Kevin, so Dely accompanied her. "Go ahead," Lauren said, surprisingly not insisting on accompanying her.

As Eve followed her sister, Stoffer casually spoke up next to Lauren. "Sir, if Miss Davidson and Nia stay together, she might come back with red eyes again."

Lauren gave Stoffer a sideways glance. Stoffer and Dely had exceptional hearing abilities; it wasn't surprising that they overheard the conversation between the Davidson sisters this morning. He asked, "If someone told me that my brother was using me as leverage even at the cost of my life, do you think I would believe it?"

Stoffer shook his head.

"So..." Lauren's gaze darkened as he looked in the direction Eve had left and sighed lowly. "She has to discover this on her own."

Stoffer couldn't help but sigh too. He worriedly said, "Sir, we've been staying in Athegate for months now. Your father has called several times urging you to go back home but he doesn't know about Miss Davidson's situation."

"What does that matter? He knows my temperament well enough," Lauren replied nonchalantly. "Unless we can find a way to cure Eve..."

"Hasn't Ms. Webb been helping us search for experts? Has there been any news from her?" Stoffer reminded.

"Not yet," Lauren shook his head before adding confidently, "But I think it should be soon."
