Her Revenge Returns (Lea and Alfred)

Chapter 277

Lorenzo said. “I had something to do here, so I came here.”

The Alvarez family’s mo

Lorenzo’s gaze fell on the hospital bed. The person lying there looked peaceful, as if asleep, giving off a sense of calm. T

had improved significantly as if they had returned to the warm times of the past.

“What’s wrong?” Sydney asked worriedly, “What happened?”

Lorenzo replied, “Nothing much, just delivering something to Miss Berry

Hearing it was about Lea, the Alvarez couple relaxed.

Although the hospital had been involved in rumors again, Sydney and Marcus knew the truth and their PR capabilities after the last incident. Lorenzo walked to the bedside, looking closely at Joey. He reached out, wanting to hold Joey’s hand. Then, memories of Joey almost dying in his arms flooded his mind. His fingers trembled, and he felt a suffocating inability to breathe. Slowly, he withdrew his hand.

“Mr. Alvarez, Mrs Alvarez, Joey will wake up, right?” His voice was trembling with hope.

Since Joey had been brought here for treatment, Lorenzo had learned about the treatment procedures and watched Joey’s condition slowly improve. Secing the Alvarez family regain their smiles and vitality, he believed Joey would wake

1. up.

Sydney and Marcus instinctively looked at each other. Then, they glanced at the two young people

Sydney’s expression grew more serious. “We have done our best, and so have the doctors. Everything is up to fate now.”

Lorenzo was stunned, and his expression became solemn.

Sydney valued his son very much. When the doctors at Conrad Hospital issued multiple brain death notices, she refused to accept them and was nearly driven insane.

Hence, her current reaction made Lorenzo uneasy.

“He will wake up!” Willow said ürmly and urgently, “I can see he’s about to wake up

Sydney held her husband’s hand and nodded.

Only then did Lorenzo secretly breathe a sigh of relief. “I head back now,”

There was no use in him staying there, and he had urgent matters to attend to.

Sydney asked, “Lorenzo, could you take Willow home?

The couple wanted to stay with their son. Willow had been in the lab for two days without any daily necessities, so she needed to go home. “I… Willow’s eyes darted around, not daring to look directly at Lorenzo.

“Sure. I can take her home” He agreed before she could refuse.

His office was in the opposite direction of the Alvarez family’s home, but he was willing to drive Willow home no matter how far.

Thank you. Sydney urged her daughter, “Willow, pack up and go home with Lorenza

Willow hastily reached out to smooth her hair, trying to make it look neater. Her hair was medium– length, naturally curly, and chestnut–colored. Her hair had become a mess after a few days without care.

She could imagine how she looked at that moment, and her face turned red.

Fortunately, the lights were dim, and her parents attention was not on her, so they didn’t notice. Lorenzo looked at Willow, worried she wouldn’t want him to take her home. He breathed cautiously. Willow dazedly said, “Okay,” as her mother had packed her bag and shoved it into her arms.

“Let’s go,” Lorenzo said softly, with a gentleness not present when he spoke to others. He turned to leave.

Willow exhaled, puffed out her cheeks, and nearly jogged to catch up. Arriving in the hallway, she followed behind him, clutching her bag and keeping her head down.

Lorenzo paused and glanced back. Although he couldn’t see her, his skill and agility told him she was keeping about five feet away from him.

Willow used to cling to his back, always attached to film.

Lorenzo deliberately slowed his pace. Whether intentionally or instinctively, Willow also slowed down, maintaining the same distance.

His mood grew heavy, feeling discouraged.

Reaching the downstairs parking lot, Willow saw the familiar Volkswagen and

sincrively reached for the door handle.

“Get in.” Lorenzo had already upened the front passenger door for her.

She hesitated for a moment, then obediently got into the front passenger seat

He closed the d

door and got into the driver’s seat. They drove towards the Alvarez family’s home.

The road stretched out before them, illuminated by passing headlights. The light flickered through the car windows, casting intermittent shadows and adding to the heavy silence inside the vehicle

The silence persisted for a while before Lorenzo finally summoned the courage to speak. “Willow, I’m sorry. I promised to protect you and your family, but 1 failed?

Since the accident, he had never seriously talked to her. Now, he was finally willing to speak.

He would always remember when he was five years old and had passed the selection for the military base. He got enrolled for the best training and development.

Willow, who had just learned to speak, happily said, “Lorenzo, you’re the hesit

“Yes! The little Lorenzo nodded solemnly, taking his first and most important vow

must protect me and my family in the future?

He was Willow’s pride and reliance. With him, she grew up carefree. That he hadn’t expected to let her down so soon. Having finished speaking and getting no respouse, Lorenzo felt his heart was bring torn apart, and his eyes turned wet.

“Willow…” He turned his head and paused. Willow had fallen asleep against the backrest.

She slept in an uncomfortable position, with a trickle of saliva at the corner of her mouth. She looked cute, just like when she was a child. Willow was exhausted. She dozed off almost immediately after getting into the car. She hadn’t heard a word Lorenzo said,

Lorenzo thought they could have a proper talk after Joey woke up, and she might forgive him.

He sighed in relief. He turned up the car’s temperature and gripped the steering wheel, driving more steadily.

The car drove to the military law compound, arriving at the Alvarez family’s house.

“Willow, we’re here,” he said sofily, Willow didn’t stir, leaning more comfortably against the backrest, sleeping even deeper.

Lorenzo was told she had been in the lab for two days and nights. She probably wouldn’t wake up without a good fifteen hours of sleep. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Not wanting to wake Willow, Lorenzo got out. He opened her door and gently carried her upstairs.

The entire compound’s buildings were constructed in the early days, consisting of six–story walk– ups. Besides military and legal personnel, high- level researchers like the Alvarez couple also resided there.

In the quiet of the night, the complex was especially silent.

As Lorenzo ascended the sta

stairs, Willow burrowed against his chest, hnding a more comfortable position, and slept even sounder.

He paused, looking down at her in the stairwell light. Her features had matured, with delicate eyelashes. She was already a refined young lady. His breathing deepened unconsciously as he continued up the stairs while holdin

holding her.

The Alvarez family lived on the fifth floor. As Lorenzo reached the door, the lock scanned his face and automatically opened. Then, a familiar, warm feeling waslied over hin, making his eyes instantly well up.

This felt like home, always his home.

He stepped inside, instinctively glancing toward his room. The door was closed, still adorned with certificates from the base for his wrestling and shooting championships and photos of him holding troplides.

With just a quick look, he took Willow to her room. It was a pink room with a princess theme. It was now decorated and arranged i Lorenzo gently placed her on the lard, carefully pulling the blanket over her. As he was about to rise, she grabbed his sleeve.

0:36 AM

“Lorenzo, don’t leave me. Her voice choked with tears and pleading. Tears welled up in her eyes.
