Chapter 342 A Cunning Plan
Lawrence casually picked up the phone , and Ray's annoyed voice came through, "Third BrotherLawrence, where are you? Darcy got drunk at the bar, to the point that her of stomach is bleeding. Did you know that? She has been crying, saying that you didn't answer her calls. The bartender couldn't reach your phone either, so they called me. How can you treat your fiancée like this! ? Anyways, I'm taking her to the hospital for treatment now..." Lawrence was taken aback, frownedhis brows furrowed, and his voice turned turning cold., "I'll be there right away." After hanging he hung up the phone, he turned to look at Winnie's tightly closed apartment door and had no choice but to send a text message to the woman: "[Please take care of Sidney for me."]
He then hurriedly made his way to the elevator. The man paced into the elevator. - At the hospital, . Darcy received a few freshly taken photos from Barbara, and they ignited a fury so intense she felt like spitting blood. The location in the photos was unmistakably Winnie's apartment building. Lawrence was captured embracing that despicable woman on the balcony, engaged in passionate kisses. Darcy dug her nails deep into her palms, and her entire body pulsating with anger. She had called Lawrence so many times, hoping to plead for the Ordelia family, yet he never answered. Earlier in the afternoon, she had rushed back to Jasmine Manor, only to find out that he had already taken Sidney out, deliberately aAvoiding and ignoring her.! This alone was infuriating but what infuriated her even more was his decision to not help the Ordelia family, opting instead to join forced with that powerful and despicable woman, kissing and embracing her.r? The audacity reached its peak with aA family reunion too. !! Darcy's eyes bulged in disbelief as she tore up the photos. Ray's footsteps echoed, prompting her to grip the bedside tightly as she weakly vomited. "Darcy..." Ray rushed in, looking shocked. Teary eyed, Darcy helplessly said, "Ray, I feel so hopeless. Mr. L won't help the Ordelia family so does that mean he doesn't want me anymore?" Half an hour later, Lawrence arrived at the hospital. Ray's face remained calm as he observed Lawrence walking in. Darcy lay pale and asleep on the bed, a lingering tear at the corner of her eye.Darcy was palely sleeping on the bed, a tear still hanging at the corner of her eye. "How is she?" Lawrence asked Ray. "She had her stomach pumped urgently, underwent minimally invasive surgery, and the anesthesia hasn't worn off yet." Ray gave himexplained with an impatient look. Recalling Thinking of Darcy's request, he suppressed his temper, stood up, and walked towardstoward Lawrence with a raised, raising an eyebrow., "Let's find a place to sit and talk,." he suggested. - In the bar. Ray had the bartender pour two shots of strong vodka. Lawrence downed his drink, and Ray stared at him, his gaze ice-cold. Lawrence let out a sigh., "Lao SanRay, what are you thinking?" "What do you mean, 'what am I thinking'? " "Don't think that I don't know you were with Sidney at Winnie's with Sidney tonight. I found out, and iIf Darcy finds out too, have you ever considered how heartbroken she would be?" Lawrence hesitated for a moment with conflicting thoughts passing through his head., "You didn't tell her, did you?" "Of course not." Ray rolled his eyes and said indignantly, "Darcy is a fragile woman, so pure and kind. Just think about hHow much has she sacrificed for you.? Seven years ago, she quietly saved you from a functioning neurological disorder. Then three years laterago, she saved you again and even donated a kidney to your mother. I would be more than willing to marry such a woman, but you are so heartless. Why didn't you help her when his her father and , the Ordelia Group , got into trouble?" A trace of complexity flashed in Lawrence's eyes, but and a coldness cold expression formed on his browface. Seeing his silence, Ray's tone turned harsh., "Is it because of Winnie? Is her uncle being a prisoner the reason you're reluctant to assist the Ordelia family?""Is it because of Winnie? Because that prisoner is her uncle! Did it make you not want to help even the Ordelia family?" "Ray, if you understood the case, you would know right from wrong. Darcy's parents' behavior behaved so badly in this incident had been so appalling that I am ashamed. Even Darcy's character has given me... doubts." "You can't possibly doubt Darcy.," Ray immediately shook his head. "It's impossible. I believe in Darcy! Even if her parents really actually did harmed Elliott, she has nothing to do with it. She was crying just now, begging me to explain to you and saying how afraid she was that you wouldn't marry her anymore. Do you still love her? You wouldn't really be swayed by Winnie's seduction and have such thoughts, right?" Lawrence's gaze eyes froze fiercelyturned icy and intense. Remembering that moment in the apartment, when he kissed Winnie without any rationality, he wondered if did he had fallen under Winnie's influence again after three years.? He broke out in a cold sweat, feeling lost. When the divorce papers were thrown in his face, he didn't think about marrying Darcy. Instead, he felt infinite frustration. The state of confusion in his heart was becoming increasingly difficult for him to comprehend. What exactly is going on? He couldn't understand his own heart anymore. Seeing the man's expression, Ray's face turned dark, and he cursed, "Great, now you're wavering between two women? Grow up! Three years ago, Winnie abandoned you, her husband, and her child., Oh, didand you forgot about your another deceased child? And wWhat about Darcy? What part of her doesn't deserve your love? She has been by your side for over a decade, wholeheartedly devoted to your family. Even if she made a small mistake, can't you tolerate her? "Lawrence, it was you who wanted to get engaged in the first place, and Darcy has also sacrificed three years for you. She's no longer young, and if you reject her, how will she navigate the social circles of Trento City and Lymington? She's incredibly fragile; rejection could drive her to contemplate the unthinkable. Tonight's events are just the beginning of what she might do. She's not young anymore, and if you reject her, how can she survive in the social circles of Trento City and Lymington? She is so fragile, she would definitely commit suicide, and tonight is just a hint." " Ray observed the man's complex and somber expression, unable to resist issuing a warningRay saw the man and The man's face was dark and complicated, unable to resist issuing a warning, "You know very well that you are responsible for her. So, rein in your desires and be faithful." He looked at him with a knowing gaze that men understood too well. Lawrence tightly gripped the wine glass in his hand, feeling suffocated as if there was a heavy hammer pressing on his heart. Unaware of He didn't know when the act decision of marrying Darcy had gradually shifted from voluntary to pressured, . And he also didn't know found himself uncertain of when his flirtation with Winnie had caused him to lose his sense of , he lost his guilt towardstoward Darcy. At that point, both Jeremy and Ray both had asked him if he loved Darcy. Before Winnie's returned, he thought believed he he did loved herDarcy, and he wantedfueled by a desire to retaliate against Winnie. ButHowever, once after Winnie came back, the heartbeat he felt when being close to her was surpassed anything like nothing he had experienced while living with Darcy. It couldn't stand withstand the comparison... But Nevertheless, as Ray pointed out, once the arrow was released from the bow, there was no turning back. A woman's youth couldn't be compensated for, and . Darcy's favors were felt like binding ropes binding him. Lawrence's slender fingers rolled traced the outline of over the divorce certificate in his pocket, feeling sensing an inexplicable pain. He forcefully closed his eyes,. Maybe he contemplating whether he shouldn't should provoke refrain from provoking Winnie anymoreany further. It wasn't fair to either woman... - "Mr. L..." He returned to the hospital room and , Darcy immediately rose from the bed with red-rimmed eyes., "I didn't intend to get drunk. I couldn't reach you no matter how I tried, and you didn't come home. I was really scared, so I impulsively went to drink...…" Barbara, who was stood beside next to her, also criedwept. , "MissMs. Darcy, you have suffered too much in your heart has endured so much! There was pressure from the Ordelia family regarding Mr. Ordelia's incident, urging you to plead with Mr. L However,... But knowing you know Mr. L's temper, and you just silently bore it all on your own." Lawrence saw the maid and mistress crying together, but his heartache for Darcy wasn't particularly intense. Perhaps having cried so many times, he gradually developed immunity and annoyance towardstoward it. Darcy keenly sensed his indifference t expression and immediately gave signaled Barbara a signal not to not say anything anymore. The focus for tonight was... DarcyShe weakly climbed out of bed, stumbled towardstoward the man, and hugged him., "Mr. L, I know that the Ordelia Group's reputation has been tarnished in your eyes, but parents children should not be punished for their children's parent's mistakes.
