“Lauren, you must complete this mission!”

“Lauren, to become the best assassin, tears are the most useless. Blood is the most powerful proof!”

“Lauren, if you quit, I won’t have anyone by my side. I need you…”

…

Many words were still ringing in her ears.

The man in front of her was the one who had brought her into the world of slaughter, and he was the one who had given her warmth.

Just because he said he needed her, she had hardened her heart and turned herself cold. He had also reprimanded her. Love and family were the most useless creations. Only money, power, and status were the most realistic.

As a killer, he did not need any feelings.

But at this moment, he was carefully protecting a sweet-looking girl.

Seeing that they were like a loving married couple, Lauren came to a realization.

What did you mean you did not need feelings? All these were just excuses.

He did not want to have any emotional connection with you. The other girl was the love of his life and the only girl in his heart.

At this moment, Lauren wanted to rush up and ask, “Joss, in the ten years that I’ve been with you, have you ever had any feelings for me?”

“Ren, why aren’t you moving? Come and take a look at this dress. Do you like it?”

Grandma’s words instantly pulled Lauren back from her thoughts.

“Oh, it’s nothing.” Lauren shook her head.

At this moment, Joss happened to have his arm wrapped around the sweet-looking girl as he walked over.

“Ren, don’t think too much. You’re out with Grandma. Grandma will pay for you, and Grandma supports you.” Grandma held Lauren’s hand and led her to the women’s clothing section.

She just happened to brush past him.

He did not have the slightest reaction. All his attention was on the girl with him.

If he liked her after she died, how could he not do anything when he heard anything about her?

It was because he did not care. She was not important. Lauren took a deep breath and calmed her emotions.

That Lauren who used to be Assasin K had already died in the cruise ship explosion. She had now become an ordinary Lauren. She no longer needed to stain her hands with blood. She could live a simple and ordinary life.

So things were in the past, why bother with meaningless things and people?

Lauren quickly sorted out her emotions.

Grandma bought a lot of things for her. There were brand new things from head to toe, including furniture.

“Your sister’s condition has worsened. Your mom doesn’t have time to help you renovate your room. See what you like. Let’s have a look together this time, shall we?”

“It’s okay, Grandma. I’m not particular. I’ll just sleep in the guest room.”She did not plan to stay in the Lu family for long.

“How can that be?” Grandma did not allow it. She insisted on bringing Lauren shopping.

When they returned home, Lauren saw Sue sitting in a wheelchair. Her face was pale and as white as paper.

Behind Sue were Shilla and John. They did not look too good either.

Sue said in a hoarse voice, “Sister, I was rude before. I apologize to you, and I will slowly improve. Please save me and give me a chance to live, okay?”

Sue looked at her anxiously. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said those words.

John wheel-chaired Sue to Lauren.

Lauren had seen people dying before.

But seeing Sue in front of her…

Even though Lauren knew that Sue was forced to apologize because she wanted her to donate her bone marrow to save her life, her heart still hurt uncontrollably.

Thinking about it, this was the connection by blood between her and Sue.

“Okay.”

If she did not save Sue, she would not be able to get what she wanted. She would not be able to have so much freedom in the Lu family either.

“I accept your apology, but the agreement we made before has to come into effect,” Lauren replied to Sue. At the same time, she looked up at John.

Of course, she would not forget this matter.

“Okay.” They had already decided since they brought Sue back.

No matter what Lauren requested, they would agree.

“The surgery will be carried out tomorrow,” John said.

Lauren did not have any objections.

She entered the operating room with Sue for a bone marrow transplant. However, when she lay on the operating table and slowly lost consciousness, she realized that John must have had ulterior motives.

She was very flustered. After all, John had never thought of truly treating her well. Shilla did not like her at all.

Her first reaction was that she was done for. She was going to die again.

However, she never expected that John did not take her life, nor did he exile her. Instead, he sent her to the Xiao family!

“Awake?”
