Chapter 978

Angelina, burdened with guilt, sighed as she admitted, “There’s another problem. Madam Lauren found

out about Nina’s death through the news about the funeral.”

Landon’s chest tightened. His worst fear had become a reality. Angelina continued, “It was my fault. I

didn’t anticipate the news reporting on the funeral so soon because there was an embargo.

“Anyway, that’s not an excuse. I did not do my job well. So, instead of the bonus, you should be giving

me a penalty,” Angelina willingly offered to be punished.

“That’s not your fault, Angie. You are busy taking care of Lauren while handling work matters for me.

It’s tough for you,” Landon replied with worry. “How is Lauren holding up?”

“Madam Lauren is not doing well. She’s been crying. Please come home now and check on her.”

“Sure. I’ll be back soon.

After hanging up, Landon felt increasingly agitated and concerned at the thought of Lauren alone

crying. He kicked the back of the driver’s seat and snapped, “Go faster if you want to get paid this

month.”

“Sure!” The driver stepped on the accelerator urgently.

When Landon rushed home, he immediately went to the bedroom to check on Lauren without

changing.

Angelina greeted him by the door. “Mr. Landon.”

“Is she in there?” Landon’s heart raced.

“Yes. She isn’t eating or drinking, and she refuses to leave the room,” Angelina reported.

She bit her lower lip with a troubled expression, saying, “I dare not enter the room. You know that she

needs you the most.”

Landon gently pushed the door open. Despite the daylight outside, the curtains were drawn, and the

lights were off. It was a depressing sight to see.

“Darling? Darling?” Landon searched every corner-study, bedroom, changing room, bathroom-but

found no sign of Lauren.

Panic set in, and he sweated profusely. “Lauren? Lauren?”

Hearing his distraught calls, Angelina entered the room to join the search. He exclaimed, “She’s

missing!”

“How could that happen?” Angelina looked shocked. “I was standing by the door all the time. She did

not leave the room at all!”

Her words struck Landon like lightning. His face turned white, and his heart nearly jumped out of his

mouth. He rushed over to the window, drawing the curtains open while imagining morbid worst-case

scenarios.

Fighting his fear, he finally gathered his courage and looked down. He was instantly relieved to find

nothing unusual.

Sighing, he felt drained and sweaty. Angelina shared his fear. Lauren’s psychological issues made

them worry she might harm herself if triggered.
