Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1498

"So what?" Landon shouted.

Lauren stared at Landon in utter bewilderment. Her reddened eyes widened as if they were about totear through her eye sockets.

Knowing he had misspoken, Landon hung his numb hands helplessly in the air. He was at a loss andin panic. "Lauren, I didn't mean it. I..."

He forgot that, despite Sophia's heinous crimes, she was still Lauren's mother.

He had always been ruthless and cold-hearted. Sometimes, even Angelina, who had seen all sorts ofbloodshed and violence, was afraid of him when he got angry.

He could decisively let go of many things that others cherish. He believed that if he could do it,others could too. They just needed to endure the pain.

Suddenly, Lauren screamed. As if she didn't recognize Landon anymore, she pushed him awayforcefully while he was distracted and ran toward the door without looking back.

"Lauren!" Shocked, Landon felt his blood run cold.

"Lauren!"

Fortunately, Alyssa and Jasper arrived in time and intercepted the out-of-control Lauren.

“Lauren, it's me, Jasper! Please calm down!" Jasper tightly embraced his sister, his heart aching.Seeing Lauren's pale face, already showing signs of convulsions, Alyssa made a decisive decision."Do you have any sedatives at home? Bring them out. I'll give her an injection.”

Upon hearing the order, Angelina immediately went to fetch them, but Landon urgently stoppedher. "No! Don't give Lauren those drugs again!"

She was the woman he loved the most. How could he bear to stick needles into her body?

After using them once before, Landon had never given them to her again.

Lauren was such a lovely and lively woman. But once she was injected with sedatives, she would turninto a fragile, delicate, and lifeless mush. He didn't want Lauren to suffer like that again.

"Don't give her the sedatives! I can comfort her!" Landon's eyes were red, but he still insisted.

"If you could, Lauren wouldn't be like this right now!"

Alyssa was a doctor and had lived with the Beckett family for three years. She knew exactly how tohandle such situations. So, she took a strong stance.

"Are you the doctor, or am I? Lauren is your girlfriend, but she's also my sister! Listen to me,Angelina. Get the sedatives!"

"Yes, Ms. Alyssa!" Angelina felt that Alyssa was more reliable, so she obediently followed the order.After getting the sedatives, Jasper held Lauren tightly while Angelina helped to restrain her. Itseemed like two medical staff members were controlling a mentally disturbed patient.

Frowning, Alyssa skillfully injected the needle into Lauren's delicate, fair skin and slowlyadministered the sedative intravenously.

Jaspers brows furrowed as well.

Landon, who loved Lauren the most, was like a powerless outsider at this moment. He stood byhelplessly, unable to do anything.

After the sedative was administered, Lauren's eyes gradually became unfocused. She gradually loststrength in Jasper's arms, like a puppet whose soul had been drained, slowly closing her eyes."Lauren..."

Unable to hold back any longer, Landon rushed forward and snatched Lauren back from Jasper'sarms. With bloodshot eyes, he held her tightly in his arms and refused to let go.

"What happened, Landon?" Jasper spoke sternly, like a parent.

"Did you let her watch the trial? Are you out of your mind?" Alyssa was also furious, joining Jasper inconfronting him.

"Even if Sophia is a despicable criminal, she's still Lauren's mother. And you know Lauren'scondition. Aren't you just provoking her? Most ordinary people would have a hard time acceptingthat fact, yet you're throwing it at her all at once. It's no wonder she has lost her mind!"
