Lauren did not sleep for the entire night. The rain continued to fall as if someone had turned the sea upside down. The rain seemed to fall on the ground with great force, causing the leaves to rustle loudly.
During the night, almost the entire family came to Lauren's room to check on her. They were worried that the thunder would scare her.
Franklin and Bryce even met each other on the way, creating a huge joke. Lauren almost could not hold back her laughter.
But she pretended to be fast asleep so as not to trouble her family.
In fact, she took everyone's concern to mind and kept it in her heart.
Sean came with Maria once, and Lauren could hear Maria sobbing in low voice.
"Lauren has lived alone outside for so many years, and I don't know if anyone accompanied her when she faced a situation like this. Sean, I feel like I've let Lauren down. I gave birth to her, but I didn't let her have a happy childhood."
