Lauren noticed the gaze on her and didn't say a word. She just glanced at Alfred with concern and let out a long sigh of relief when she saw that he finally woke up.

Alfred was already content as he caught sight of Lauren's expression.

He said to himself, "Lauren, I really changed!"

Carrie also saw the interaction between the two. She started to panic. Initially, she thought Alfred just couldn't forget his dead wife. She didn't expect that they even showed their affection to each other right in front of her.

No, she couldn't accept it. She was only one step away from being Alfred's wife. She couldn't be pulled back at this point.

"Alfred, are you angry because I didn't come to see you in the first place? I'm sorry. I'm also busy with my own business. I promise I'll stay with you in the next few days." Carrie acted like usual and just lay down in Alfred's arms like a little princess.

But now Alfred wouldn't be fooled by this anymore. The moment Carrie pressed on him, his wound gaped.

"Get off," Alfred's voice was not loud but it made Carrie's heart skip a beat. Alfred had never been so harsh to her.

"Alfred, I..."

Carrie swallowed hard, "What am I doing wrong? I have been with you for so long. I have been done so many things for you. Do you have to be so heartless when this woman comes back?" Carrie said in an aggrieved and bitter voice. Even Lauren was almost fooled and felt sorry for her.

If he hadn't heard of Carrie conspiring to seize his property, he might have been deceived all the time.

"I heard you calling someone on the phone," He said in a soft voice but it made Carrie's face turn pale instantly.

"You knew it all along?" Carrie shivered suddenly. She felt like she was a clown just now.

Alfred closed his eyes, recalling what Carrie had done. He felt rather disappointed. "In my drawer, there is a recording of you betraying me with my confidential files. The one who cooperated with you is Lauren standing right in front of you."

Carrie felt that she had been struck by lightning. At first, she was angry that Alfred was indifferent to her, so she sold his documents on impulse. At that time, there was a person who offered a generous amount of money. She indulged in the joy of huge wealth, so she didn't even notice the trick.

Lauren had set a trap for her.

"Lauren, you are so despicable!" Carrie was exposed and didn't care about her image in front of Alfred anymore. She pointed at Lauren and cursed loudly.

Lauren turned around and glanced at her, which made Carrie shudder.

"You said I was despicable. Have you ever considered that you are too stupid? If it weren't for your own greed, how could you get the bait?" Lauren glanced at Alfred and found that his face was a little pale. As she was about to call a doctor, she was pulled by Carrie.

"Bitch, don't you dare separate me and Alfred. You are framing me!" She cursed fiercely and turned to look at Alfred as her eyes were filled with tears. "Alfred, did you hear that? This bitch set me up."

"Carrie, I don't want to see you now. For the sake of our past, I won't accuse you." Alfred didn't want to speak to Carrie anymore. He just wanted to see Lauren more when he could.

"Carrie, you won't get away from this!" Noah came into the room suddenly, followed by two police officers holding silver handcuffs.

Carrie's face went extremely pale. It seemed that they had known that she was the one that drove the car and crashed them. What should she do?

She felt an extreme panic that she had never felt before. She looked at Alfred with a cry for help.

"What happened? Why do you want to catch Carrie?" Although Alfred doesn't love Carrie anymore, he doesn't want to see her being caught innocently. But the reason why the police caught Carrie made him completely disappointed.

"We found through the camera that the person who hit you was Carrie Green. Carrie, please come with us."

"Alfred, save me. Please save me. I was wrong. Save me," Carrie wailed, clutched the door, and refused to let go until she was taken into the police car. Alfred didn't take a glance at her.

Alfred was really let down by her. He let out a long sigh. Lauren stood in front of him and handed him a glass of water, blowing it cool carefully. Her caring gave Alfred a little comfort.

"Lauren, even if I'm gone, you have to live happily in this world," Alfred said with a smile.

Lauren felt that something was off, "Alfred, what are you talking about? The doctor said you wouldn't have any problem after the operation." Lauren suddenly remembered that the doctor just pointed at Alfred and didn’t say anything. He didn't say if he would recover or not.

"Lauren, don't leave. Let me hug you." Alfred raised his hand laboriously, his fingers becoming pale.

Lauren quickly put down the quilt and held Alfred's hand. The cold of his hand startled her.

However, Alfred's hand fell on the bed before it could touch Lauren's cheek.

"Doctor, come here. Anyone?" Lauren exclaimed. Soon someone took Alfred to ICU again.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry, we are really doing our best. The patient just woke up after being stimulated. We will try our best to treat him."

Lauren understood that Alfred just worked so hard to protect her. Why didn't he protect her until she grew old?

Lauren said to herself, "You messed up my life. Do you want to leave again? It's not that easy."
