Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1809

Landon spent a single, sleepless night at the hospital. He worked tirelessly, making phone calls toarrange a press conference and contacting renowned psychiatrists and psychologists worldwide, allto secure the best treatment for Lauren.

Cornelius, however, seemed determined to overwhelm Landon. He disregarded Landon’s well-beingand dumped nearly all the company's affairs on him. Jordan could only watch helplessly, on theverge of tears.

The next morning, while receiving an IV drip, Landon received a call from Angelina. Upon hearingthat Lauren was more stable, he yanked the needle out immediately. Then, he got up and headedout the door as he threw on his black coat.

"Jordan, get the car!"

"Mr. Landon, waiting for the medication to finish wouldn't delay your visit!" Jordan exclaimed.Landon's suffering was evident. He'd lost a significant amount of weight in just two or three days,and it pained Jordan to see him like that.

"I'll be fine," Landon replied tersely, already stepping out the door. His demeanor was resolute yetdesolate. In a hoarse and desperate voice, he added, "Nothing is more important than seeing mywife."

Landon's luxury car once again pulled into the Crescent Bay courtyard. However, following Newton'sinstructions, he was denied entry.

Ben, polite and gentle, emerged to greet him. "Mr. Landon, Ms. Lauren is much better. She evenenjoyed her breakfast.”

Ben's tone was gentle. There wasn't a single hint of resentment in his voice.

Joy radiated from Landon'’s eyes, his lashes fluttering with emotion. A brief reminder of the past wasenough to immerse him in fond memories. "Really? My wife... Lauren enjoyed her breakfast? That'swonderful.

"Lauren isn't much of a breakfast person. I have to coax her out of bed to have breakfast. I'd keepher company until she finished before heading out.”

"That's very thoughtful of you, Mr. Landon. Thank you for looking after Ms. Lauren all this time,” Benexpressed his gratitude.

A sharp pang of fear suddenly struck Landon. Ben's words felt like a farewell.

"Ms. Lauren has Mr. Beckett and Ms. Angelina by her side, looking after her. She's doing very wellnow, so you needn't worry. The weather has turned colder lately. Do remember to keep warm. Youmay leave now."

"Mr. Gorham!" Landon grabbed Ben's arm and looked at him anxiously. His lips were dry. Heopened his mouth to speak, but in his anxiousness, he couldn't make a sound.

After some hesitation, he said in a hoarse voice, "May I see Lauren? I just for a moment. I miss herterribly..."

"Mr. Landon, Mr. Newton has forbidden Ms. Lauren from receiving any guests while sherecuperates. Please leave,” Ben repeated monotonously.

"Guests?" The word felt foreign to Landon, causing him to shudder. He coughed deeply. "Lauren ismy fiancée. I'm her partner, her family! What do you mean by 'guest'?"

"I understand your frustration," Ben, who had witnessed Landon's growth, softened his tone—nolonger able to keep up with his cold act, he advised, "But you must know Mr. Newton is upset afterwhat happened. And Mr. Cornelius—"

"What has he done now?" Landon interjected, his distress evident.

"On the night of the incident, he called and had a heated argument with Mr. Newton. Ms. Alyssawas there at the time, too."

Ben sighed helplessly. "Both Mr. Newton and Mr. Cornelius made their feelings clear. I'm afraid yourmarriage with Ms. Lauren might be off the table.”

Landon was stunned, feeling as if the world was collapsing around him. He felt the weight of it allcrushing him, a bitter lump forming in his throat.
