Chapter 156 Is There Anything We Can’t Talk About Between Us?

• “I want you to beat her up—beat her until she loses that pride of hers!” Lauren heard someone scolding and cursing beside her. Confused, she opened her mouth to speak but had no energy to do so. When she tried to open her eyes, she couldn’t see anything apart from pitch-black darkness either. “Mr. Parker ordered us to take good care of you, but an evil woman like you deserves to die, Lauren!”
• In the blink of an eye, the scenery around her transformed; Lauren soon found herself covered in blood with a baby in her arms. “The child isn’t breathing anymore; he has congenital deficiencies and shouldn’t have been born from the start!” A piercing cold sensation shot through all the cells in her body right then. She screamed frantically before she woke up from her nightmare. With her dark eyes filled with terror and distress, her forehead was soaked with cold sweat as strands of hair plastered itself onto it; Lauren gasped for breaths with a pained expression. Five years; Alexander has been dead for five years!
• She often had such dreams when there was a storm in the middle of the night. She’d dream about Alexander and everything that happened back in prison, and she’d always wake up feeling like she had just experienced death; the same nightmare would haunt and torment her every single time. Right then, the door to her bedroom was pushed open as a figure walked toward her and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. Frightened, she shrunk away immediately like an injured animal with a fearful gaze; the caution and terror in her eyes only reduced once she lifted her head up to see that it was Tyler standing in front of her.
