Chapter 374 Lauren Is Dead, but Why Do You Only Repent Now?

• Simon titled his head and stared at Ethan’s lifeless and panicky expression, watching the latter, who was overwhelmed by his grievance. Soon, the atmosphere was shrouded in silence as if the place was devoid of any living being. “Lauren isn’t dead. There is no way she is dead,” Ethan spoke with a soft voice and continued to murmur, “Haha. She hates me so much that she even wants me dead. So, if I’m still breathing, there is no way she’ll die before I do. No way.”
• While Ethan slowly began to mix up reality and his imagination, he seemed to see Lauren smiling at him, appearing as if he had completely detached from the real world. Then, he was seen murmuring the same thing again and again. The dramatic change in his friend’s emotion had turned out to be worse than he expected. No matter how he tried to talk some sense into Ethan, his words were ignored. Soon, he lost his patience and blamed the sibling duo for making him worry! Why do both of them have to keep making me worry? I’m getting stressed out from taking care of these two children. Nevertheless, when Simon saw Ethan’s current state, a part of him reckoned it served him right. Then, he said, “Who’re you doing this to, Ethan? When Lauren was around, you didn’t treasure her; but now that she is gone, you torment yourself. Lauren is dead, but why do you only repent now? I’ve warned you before; we don’t always get a second chance. Think about the suffering you have put her through. For now, be my guest if you want to keep tormenting yourself, but don’t forget that you’re the Parker Family’s leader, so you need to stop fooling around soon!” Upon saying that, Simon turned around and walked away.
• Not long after Simon left, Ethan dragged his injured foot and walked out of his ward, but he didn’t go to the morgue to find out whether Lauren was dead. Instead, he went to Phoenix Bay as if that place was a refuge for him to escape reality. I’m not going to find out whether what Simon said is true because he was lying for sure! Right! He was lying.
