Second Marriage: My Strongest Bodyguard

Chapter 156 - Annoying Talk

After they finished examining Lauren, the doctor and nurse left the ward. Bryana immediately approached the woman along with Dean who was always beside her. Louis got up from the chair and joined the gathering with his lover and employer.

"How, are you feeling better now?" Bryana asked with a warm smile at Lauren.

Lauren nodded then said, "maybe the day after tomorrow, I can go home, ma'am."

"Do you want to come to our house or do you want us to take you to your parent's house?" asked Dean casually.

Lauren paused for a moment and turned to look at Louis as if asking for an opinion on Dean's question.

"If you want to stay at our house that's fine too, Lauren. I feel happy when you are cared for in our house, I can survey your condition every day," Bryana said with a sincere smile.

"But your parents also need to know your condition," said Dean wisely, looking at Lauren and Louis alternately. "Whatever happens to us, parents are the ones who must always be informed. Moreover, you also need to ask for your blessing for your marriage."

"I will disappoint my family if caught pregnant and even miscarried. I will tarnish my family name," said Lauren, bending her face.

"Then don't tell. We just need to talk about our wedding plans," Louis exclaimed.

Dean sighed, glanced at Louis who had secretly turned into a naughty bodyguard to impregnate the babysitter. "The truth must always be told. You have to show your accountability to Lauren, to her extended family openly."

"But that will only disappoint them, Dean." Louis kept dodging.

"Just tell me if you're afraid of getting beat up by Lauren's family," Dean shouted with disapproval. "I will accompany you to meet Lauren's family."

"That's going to trouble you, Dean." Louis looked down in shame.

"There are no troublesome words for a friend, even I have considered you as my cousin. Act normal and don't be too shy," Dean exclaimed while patting Louis on the shoulder.

"Yes, you are part of our family," said Bryana with a smile, glancing at Lauren who looked a little disappointed at Louis's unkind attitude.

"Now you decide. Go straight to your parents' house to ask for their blessing, or stay at our house until you get better?"

Lauren was silent for a moment. She thought it had been a long time since she had seen her family, but it would be very troublesome to return homesick.

"I... I... I'll just stay at your house until I'm quite recovered. I don't want to bother my parents," Lauren replied angrily.

"Is that so? Don't you miss them?" asked Dean, seeing the doubt on Lauren's face.

"I do miss them but I don't want to bother them. At least, so that I can recover a bit, I'll be there with Louis," Lauren replied thoughtfully.

Dean and Bryana agreed and didn't mind at all. they will even still leave Louis as Bodyguard, to continue to care for Lauren, as well as to think about when exactly his marriage with Lauren.

Arriving at the police station, Monica immediately got out of the car with a paper bag containing the food she bought for Kareen. She walked rather casually through the terrace to the main door of the building where people were languishing in the prison.

Monica immediately asked the police officers for permission to meet with Kareen. She was also invited to sit in a chair complete with a table while the police picked up her cousin in the detention room.

After a few minutes of waiting, Monica finally saw Kareen walking, escorted by the police, approaching her. She smiled at her cousin who instead gave her a sharp look.

Kareen sat in the chair opposite Monica, across from the light brown table. "What are you here for? Laughing at me?"

instead of answering, Monica looked at Kareen's face seriously and asked, "why are you so bruised on your face? Is this because of what Raymond did last night?"

"Don't worry about me, you must be happy to see me like this, right? You even cooperated with Raymond to trick me. damn you, traitor! What kind of sister are you." Kareen scolded Monica instead. Her gaze was so sharp filled with hatred and memories of Raymond slapping her, humiliating her in front of Dean, and exposing all her crimes.

Monica sighed, feeling suffocated by Kareen's last words in the name of sisterhood. "Kareen, I know I'm going too far. But this is to make you realize that what you did was a mistake. You've gone too far to kill the life of the fetus in Lauren's womb. If the other me don't stop you, you'll get even madder and continue your evil actions to harm Bryana!"

Kareen smiled sarcastically and turned her head away, looked at the poster with the police on it with the words written on it, then looked back at Monica curtly. "Don't act in the name of Bryana, don't be a hero. I know you're doing this just to get Raymond's kindness, right? You're a hypocrite. You say you don't like him, but you really like him and even love him. You guys are playing behind my back!"

"Don't just accuse me, Kareen. I'm here because I want to stop your crime I feel sorry for you, I thought about your condition, but it turns out you're accusing me carelessly. Indeed, this is the right place for you!" Monica confirmed with all the irritation in her heart. She got up and was about to walk away, but her steps were stopped because Kareen spoke.

"I'm sure, after this, you will approach Raymond, then seduce him to marry. You hypocrite girl! But it doesn't matter, take my ex-man. I never loved him!"

Monica took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly and tried to keep herself from being provoked by Kareen's words that made her ears burn.

"Why are you silent? Is it true what I said? You'll be happy after making me suffer here, but I'm sure I can repay you. Keep that in mind!" Kareen threatened and got up from the chair, glanced at the paper bag on the table, then picked it up saying, "You must have brought this for me, right? Thank you."

Monica glanced at Kareen who walked away without saying goodbye and brought the paper bag containing the food. 'Oh my God, it's like she's lost her senses, she's out of her mind. I shouldn't have come here!' She thought angrily to herself.

Kareen re-entered the detention jail escorted by police officers. She immediately entered and carried the paper bag containing the food to the corner of the room measuring about six meters, then sat on the floor to eat the food.

The girl who was detained for the murderer immediately took the paper bag from Kareen's presence. "This must be delicious food. You'd better eat food from the police, and this is for me!" The girl smirked evilly.

"Don't take what's not yours, FUCK!" Kareen exclaimed, reclaiming the paper bag.

"Oh, do you want me to beat you up like that? Don't you dare fight me, or I'll make your pretty face even worse!" The girl threatened while the other two girls did not dare to interfere.

"Hit me, hit me now and I'll break your snub nose!" exclaimed Kareen defiantly.

The girl also felt humiliated even though it was true that her nose was narrower than Kareen's. She immediately attacked to slap the face of the girl who insulted her.

Kareen also parried the slap and turned to grab the hair of the girl who was pretentious and powerful in the detention jail. The battle between the bad girls was inevitable until they grabbed and clawed at each other blindly, making the police come to break them up.

Monica drives her car to the office. She kept thinking about Kareen's words accusing her of having fun with Raymond after she suffered in prison.

'I want to live happily as a couple. loves without having to make other people suffer. but I also don't want to get my hopes up because he doesn't express a feeling for me. I'm tired of hoping, I'm tired of the feeling of love that always burns when I'm near him but can't have it. Maybe he just doesn't want me..' Monica said in her heart, with pessimism.
