Laureny on the hospital bed, her heartbeat steady, and the oxygen mask removed. Despite this, every breath seemed


    laborious for her, her face drained of color. The delicate flutter of hershes resembled a butterfly''s wings.


    “Lauren, don''t be afraid. You''re alright now. Grandpa is here. Your dad, Jasper, and Alyssa are here too. No one else can hurt


    you anymore." Newton held onto Lauren''s hand tightly. Tears filled his eyes.


    Jasper held his breath, his arms around Alyssa''s waist, and he could feel her tensing up. Despite his own heartbreak, he stifled


    his emotions, refusing to break down in front of Lauren and their elders.


    Lauren''s eyes glistened with unshed tears. Just then, a single droplet slid down her pale cheek. She parted her chapped lips, but


    no sound emerged. She tried very hard to express herself but couldn''t make a single sound.


    "Dr. Lovce, why can''t Lauren speak all of a sudden?" Javier looked at Julien anxiously.


    Julien furrowed his brows, considering the situation. "It appears to be functional aphasia."


    “Aphasia?" The Becketts eximed in shock.


    "Some victims experience this after a traumatic event, caused by extreme anxiety and mental distress," Alyssa exined softly,


    her heart aching.


    "Is there a way to help my granddaughter, Dr. Lovce?" Newton asked, his voice strained.


    Julien sighed. "This is tricky. If it''s serious, she may need to undergo surgery.”


    Newton and Javier felt faint. Newton wiped the tears from his eyes. "Oh, dear Lord... Why does my granddaughter have to suffer


    through all these?"


    Unable to speak, Lauren squeezed Newton''s hand tightly, offering silentfort. Her gesture only deepened the sorrow felt by


    everyone present.


    “But if Lauren can maintain optimism, it could significantly ease her mental state and potentially lead to a drastic improvement in


    her condition," Julien remarked, his brow furrowing in thought as he rubbed his chin.


    Alyssa''s eyes sparkled with understanding, a knowing smile ying on her lips. She grasped Julien''s implication with a single


    nce.


    "If all goes well."


    Newton''s eyes lit up. Immediately, he asked, "I heard the few of you talking outside just now. Is Landon here?"


    "Yes, he is, Grandpa," Jasper responded immediately.

    Javier''s expression darkened. Was Newton truly his father? The same man who had belittled and betrayed him?


    As the door opened, Landon entered the room, his heart pounding with trepidation. Hesitant, he lingered at the edge, unable to


    approach Lauren.


    Jasper''s eyes radiated encouragement as he gently pushed Landon forward. "Lauren, look who''s here?"
