Alyssa continued, "Lauren likes art. She's exceptionally gifted in painting and has the potential to beca brilliant artist. Have you ever seriously nurtured her talent? Why haven't you hired a teacher to teach her painting? "Why haven't you sent her to prestigious art schools for further studies? Is her talent only meant to entertain you and make you happy? Do you know you're wasting her tand holding her back?" Landon felt like there was a massive hole in his heart that was causing him pain. "I'm not wasting Lauren's time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI'm not holding her back. Lauren is the only woman | want in my life. From the beginning, you and Jasper have known that | want to marry her!" "What difference does it make if you marry her? It'll just be repeating the sdays, or even worse." Alyssa shook her head in disappointment. "If you're incapable of taking care of Lauren, then you shouldn't have made promises. This is not the first tshe has had her episodes, but this is definitely the most severe. There'll be many more times in the next few decades.
"Can you handle it? Can you endure it? You're not a patient person to begin with. You've been accommodating and enduring just because you're in the honeymoon phase with Lauren! "But 10 or 20 years from now, when your love and patience have worn thin, will you still take care of Lauren with the sdedication? Will you still kneel down and comfort her like you did today?" "I can! Why wouldn't I?" Landon's voice was hoarse as he shouted at Alyssa. "Lyse, | know I'm not a good person.
I know | haven't done enough for Lauren, but you shouldn't doubt my love for her! You shouldn't insultwith these doubts!" "Enough, Landon!" Jasper quickly stepped forward to shield Alyssa, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. He fixed his deep gaze on Landon. "Lyse didn't mean it that way. She's just worried about Lauren. No one in the Beckett family has ever been truly dedicated to Lauren, including me.
"The only person who has accompanied and cared for i x is Lyse. Seeing Lauren in so much pain makes her feel worse than you. She's being harsh because she cares." Alyssa pursed her lips, feeling the burning sensation in her throat from shouting at Landon too loudly just now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer words were truly harsh, but she was just afraid that something might happen to Lauren.
She didn't mean to separate them, but their current way of interacting was clearly unhealthy. Lauren's condition prevented her from having control of their relationship, so she had to wake Landon up. Otherwise, unintentional hurt would be inflicted constantly.
"Autism can be divided into hyper-sensitivity and hypo-sensitivity. Unfortunately, Lauren is the former. It's often because her thoughts are too delicate, her empathy is stronger than ordinary people's, that she's easily stimulated, and her actions becuncontrollable." Alyssa leaned against Jasper. Now that she had calmed down, her expression was melancholy. "Moreover, Sophia is her mother. Although she's a monstrous and unforgivable murderer, she has raised Lauren since childhood.
"With her own mother sentenced to death and her dearest brother's mother being the victim of her mother, it's natural for Lauren to collapse. You should have anticipated this." Landon clutched his hands tightly, his gaze becoming unfocused. "Lauren said she wanted to see Sophia. | refused her, so things turned out like this. Did I really make a mistake?" Alyssa and Jasper exchanged glances, sighing simultaneously.
After a moment of contemplation, Jasper stepped forward and placed a firm hand on Landon's shoulder. "Landon, take Lauren to see Sophia. After all, they're mother and daughter. It's only right for Lauren to say goodbye to her." Landon froze, feeling conflicted. "But Sophia is your enemy..." "That's a different story. And besides, we've already avenged ourselves. She has paid the price for it, and that's enough." Jasper smiled faintly, a sense of relief evident in his eyes.
