Chapter 160 Dust–Ups and Disdain.
Felix released Elliot’s jaw with a look of disdain, as if he had touched something filthy.
Seeing this, the driver immediately offered Felix a snow–white handkerchief.
Felix took the handkerchief and meticulously wiped his hands, then carelessly tossed it onto Elliot’s face.
The white handkerchief slid off his face and fell to the ground, gathering dust, much like Elliot’s dignity at that moment- pathetic and worthless,
Felix turned to get into the car.
Desperate like a drowning man grasping for straws, Elliot shouted, “Mr. Brooker, please spare Ms. Willow. I can pay you the 28 million dollars!”
Felix paused, slightly turned his head, and glanced at Elliot with a cold look. “The last thing I need is money.”
“What do you want then?” Elliot was at his wit’s end, unable to think of any other way to persuade Felix to let Willow go.
Felix didn’t answer immediately; he just stood there silently.
After a moment, the corners of his mouth curved in a barely noticeable smile.
He naturally wanted to make Lauren happy, and to ensure those who had hurt her received their due punishment.
But these thoughts, he had no need to share with Elliot Felix got into the car
After the driver boarded. Josh pushed Elliot away and quickly followed into the car.
As the car slowly pulled away, Elliot watched it disappear and then collapsed to the ground.
He finally realized he had destroyed the last vestiges of familial affection with Lauren by his own actions
Struggling to his feet, Elliot staggered towards his car, his steps unsteady.
He started the engine and sped off to the hospital.
Arriving at the hospital room, David and Alice’s anesthesia had worn off, and the piercing pain made them writhe and moan on their beds, their cries echoing mournfully throughout the room.
“Get the pain pump, quickly use the pain pump, David rasped, sweat beads the size of beans rolling off his forehead, his face pale from pain.
As the nurse was about to administer the pain pump, Elliot burst in and yelled, “Don’t use it
His voice was hoarse and furious, like a wild beast gone mad.
David, enraged by the interruption, ignored the pain in his legs and pointed at Elliot, “What nonsense are you spouting! Do you want to torture me and your mother to death?”
“Heh, hahaha–Elliot suddenly burst into a crazy laugh, filled with endless sorrow, startling David and Alice so much that even their pain was momentarily forgotten.
The nurse, too, was frightened by Elliot’s mad demeanor, almost dropping the pain pump.
Elliot rushed over, swept all the medicine off the cabinet onto the floor, shattering the glass bottles with a crisp sound.
His bloodshot eyes were wide with fury as he glared at his parents on the bed and roared, Laurie was beaten and had her legs. broken in jail, without any treatment, just enduring it. After all the suffering you caused her, why should you get any relief?”
Alice looked at the broken glass on the floor, tears welling in her eyes, her voice breaking, “Elliot, how can you say that?”
“You know Lauren’s fiery spirit. She must have provoked someone in jail for them to have attacked her. Why else would the other inmates pick on her and not bother anyone else? Her broken legs have nothing to do with us. Why must you blame her
