Mitchel looked down at her.

"Yes, I'm here. Don't say anything. I'll take you to the hospital."

Lauren burst into tears.

"Mitchel, I'm so scared. I thought I wouldn't see you again... It hurts so much... Am I going to die?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You will be fine," Mitchel comforted her.

Lauren grabbed Mitchel's collar and pleaded, "Mitchel, please don't drive me away. I will listen to everything you say. I will be obedient to you. Just please don't drive me away."

Lauren's face was swollen beyond recognition. When Mitchel looked at her, his cold face softened. He comforted her again, “Stop thinking about anything else. As soon as we get to the hospital, you will be fine."

Since Lauren's wounds were all fresh, she shivered in pain. The drug she took was taking effect, so her eyelids felt heavy.

She forced herself not to fall asleep. She hated that Mitchel didn't respond to her words. She wanted to cry.

"Mitchel, can you not drive me away?"

Still, Mitchel didn't answer her.

Lauren closed her eyes to hide her resentment. After a while, she said, "Mitchel, can you lend me your phone? I want to tell my father that I'm safe."

Mitchel nodded.

"Okay."

He turned on his phone, called Lauren's father, and put the phone near her ear.

"Ahhh!" Lauren suddenly screamed madly and smashed Mitchel's phone against the car window.

It was too late for Mitchel to stop her. The phone fell to the car floor with a broken screen.

Then, he saw her holding her head. Her body trembled uncontrollably.

"No... Don't touch me... Don't hit me... Don't..."

Mitchel thought it was a stress reaction.
