Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 594
From beside them came Angelica’s sudden snort of laughter.
Landon was really trying his hardest to take care of Lauren. None of his techniques applicable to other
women worked for Lauren, so he had no choice but to try something new.
It was fun to watch.
Meanwhile, Lauren eagerly savored the soup Landon served her. Her motivation wasn’t to boast about
the experience but to ease Landon’s burden. She just didn’t want him to strain his arm by repeatedly
lifting the spoon to her lips.
Landon’s eyes narrowed happily the more Lauren ate.
“Slow down now. Don’t choke yourself.” He gently patted her back.

When he noticed a drop of white at the corner of Lauren’s lips, his breathing hitched inexplicably as
surge of heat washed through him.
It was a drop of soup, nothing more.
Landon cursed at himself as he pondered the last time he had taken someone to bed. How could soup
make his mind go south that quickly?
“This is tasty. I want more, Landon,” Lauren exclaimed happily.
“Okay,” Landon said hoarsely.
The ward door was suddenly slammed open, followed by a shriek, “How dare you, Landon Harper?”
Frightened, Lauren dove into Landon’s arms, wrapping hers around him. Lauren’s action made him realize

just how important he was to her.
“Don’t worry. It’s just your sister-in-law and your brother,” he murmured.
Jasper and Alyssa had already marched into the room by now. They were both shocked to their core
when they saw Landon and Lauren’s positions
“You! Keep your hands off of her!” Alyssa cried, her heart nearly bursting out from her chest when she saw
how close the two were.
“Huh?” Landon blurted out, instinctively holding onto Lauren in a protective stance.
Alyssa was nearly seething with rage and visibly upset.

It had been 12 hours. Could someone like Landon resist helping himself for such a prolonged duration?
Alyssa could never believe Landon could. There was no way in hell that he could!
Jasper’s expression was dark and frigid as he demanded, “What is going on? Why is Lauren here?”
“What happened to your ear, Lauren?” Alyssa suddenly asked, keen eyes noticing Lauren’s bandaged ear. She hurried to the
bedside, asking Landon, “What happened to her?”
Jasper walked over to Alyssa’s side, just as worried.
Landon grimaced. Could they have a little more faith in him?
He gently rubbed Lauren’s trembling back, saying slowly, “Lauren just came out of surgery. I’ll tell you all
about it later.”
Alyssa narrowed her eyes, dropping the matter for now, “Grandpa intends to have Lauren live with him in
Crescent Bay, so she’ll be staying with him from now on.”

“Really? That’s wonderful news! Laurie’s finally escaped that hellhole!” Landon cried happily.
Jasper noticed how frightened his sister looked and immediately realized something. His lips stretched
into a thin line.
“No! I’m not going!” Lauren yelled all of a sudden. “I want to stay with Landon!”
Looks of shock flitted across Landon, Jasper, and Alyssa’s faces.
