Landon spent a single, sleepless night at the hospital. He worked tirelessly, making phone calls to arrange a press conference and contacting renowned psychiatrists and psychologists worldwide, all to secure the best treatment for Lauren.
Cornelius, however, seemed determined to overwhelm Landon. He disregarded Landon's well-being and dumped nearly all the company's affairs on him. Jordan could only watch helplessly, on the verge of tears.
The next morning, while receiving an IV drip, Landon received a call from Angelina. Upon hearing that Lauren was more stable, he yanked the needle out immediately. Then, he got up and headed out the door as he threw on his black coat.
"Jordan, get the car!"
"Mr. Landon, waiting for the medication to finish wouldn't delay your visit!" Jordan exclaimed.
Landon's suffering was evident. He'd lost a significant amount of weight in just two or three days, and it pained Jordan to see him like that.
"I'll be fine," Landon replied tersely, already stepping out the door. His demeanor was resolute yet desolate. In a hoarse and desperate voice, he added, "Nothing is more important than seeing my wife."
Landon's luxury car once again pulled into the Crescent Bay courtyard. However, following Newton's instructions, he was denied entry.
Ben, polite and gentle, emerged to greet him. "Mr. Landon, Ms. Lauren is much better. She even enjoyed her breakfast."
Ben's tone was gentle. There wasn't a single hint of resentment in his voice.
Joy radiated from Landon's eyes, his lashes fluttering with emotion. A brief reminder of the past was enough to immerse him in fond memories. "Really? My wife... Lauren enjoyed her breakfast? That's wonderful.
"Lauren isn't much of a breakfast person. I have to coax her out of bed to have breakfast. I'd keep her company until she finished before heading out."
"That's very thoughtful of you, Mr. Landon. Thank you for looking after Ms. Lauren all this time," Ben expressed his gratitude.
A sharp pang of fear suddenly struck Landon. Ben's words felt like a farewell.
"Ms. Lauren has Mr. Beckett and Ms. Angelina by her side, looking after her. She's doing very well now, so you needn't worry. The weather has turned colder lately. Do remember to keep warm. You may leave
now.
"Mr. Gorham!" Landon grabbed Ben's arm and looked at him anxiously. His lips were dry. He opened his mouth to speak, but in his anxiousness, he couldn't make a sound.
After some hesitation, he said in a hoarse voice, "May I see Lauren? I just for a moment. I miss her terribly..."
"Mr. Landon, Mr. Newton has forbidden Ms. Lauren from receiving any guests while she recuperates. Please leave," Ben repeated monotonously.

softened his tone-onger able to keep up with his cold act, he advised, "But you must know Mr. Newton is upset after what happened. And Mr. Cornelius-" The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest

"What has he done now?" Landon interjected, his distress evident.
"On the night of the incident, he called and had a heated argument with Mr.
Newton. Ms. Alyssa was there at the time, too."

Landon was stunned, feeling as if the world was collapsing around him. He felt the weight of it all crushing him, a bitter lump forming in his throat.
