After Lauren had completed everything, she quietly left with Franklin.

When they reached the entrance of the hospital, they happened to see Yulia rushing in, her face clearly filled with joy.

Lauren pulled Franklin to a corner and allowed Yulia to walk past them.

“Aren’t you going to say hello to her?”

Lauren shook her head.

“I’m tired today. I want to go back and rest early.”

Lauren was telling the truth. Although she was very happy right now, her vitality was a little depleted after casting so many spells consecutively.

Even so, on the way back to the Torres residence, Franklin could feel that Lauren was in a very relaxed mood.

“Feeling happy?”

“Of course! So many children were saved by me! I feel super happy!”

Seeing the fatigue on Lauren’s face, Franklin did not talk to her anymore. Instead, he drove a little faster. The mansion was supposed to be 30 minutes away, but Franklin shortened it to 20 minutes.

When the car stopped at the Torres mansion, Franklin noticed that Lauren had already fallen asleep leaning against the car window. Her face was calm, but her lips were a little pale. Overall, she seemed to be in a good condition.

Franklin opened the car door and carefully picked up Lauren, trying not to wake her up.

Before Franklin entered the house, he could hear the sound effects of the game.

In the living room, Quinn and Bryce were playing games excitedly with their game controllers.

“Are you stupid? He’s right in front of you. Can’t you see him?!”

“My button is broken!”

“I don’t have any more health. I don’t have any more health!”

Bryce and Quinn’s voices could be heard. When Franklin carried Lauren into the living room, Bryce was about to complain to Franklin, “Franklin…”

Before he could say anything, Franklin stopped him.

“Both of you lower your voices. Lauren is already asleep. It’s so late, so both of you should go to bed early. Don’t make any noise.”

With that, Franklin carried Lauren upstairs with him.

Bryce looked at Franklin’s back. Suddenly, he did not want to play the game anymore. He threw the game controller to the sofa.

“I’m not playing, it’s no fun.”

How could Quinn not know what his third brother was thinking? He used to behave the same way too, inexplicably jealous of a child.

“Quinn, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t we agree to make things difficult for Lauren back then? Why have both of you changed sides now? Am I the only one on the same side as Mom and Dad?”

Quinn raised his hand and slapped Bryce on the back of his head. He did not control his strength and Bryce let out a “hiss” sound.

“Who told you that Mom and Dad are on the same side as you? Mom knew that she was in poor health, but yet she insisted on giving birth to Lauren. Did you think she didn’t like Lauren?”

“But all these years, I haven’t seen Mom talk about Lauren. If she didn’t hate her, why would she send her away? Our family was so peaceful during those years when she wasn’t around.”

Quinn rarely stayed at home these few years. He was always wandering abroad, but he knew that things were not like what Bryce had said.

When Lauren was not around, the Torres family was indeed peaceful, but it was more like it was overly quiet than peaceful.

The matriarch of the Torres family liked to pay her respects to gods. She often stayed in the temple for a year or so at a time.

Meanwhile, his parents were away from home all year round and he was leading a wandering life. Mr. Hayes and Franklin were usually the only ones in the house.

Sometimes, when he returned home, he would spend the entire day cooped up in his room. There was no one to talk to or chat with. It was no different from living alone.

However, when he returned home this time, he clearly felt that things were different.

Since Lauren returned, though they would argue and fight over a piece of chicken, life was more colourful and not as lifeless as before.

“What’s wrong, Quinn?”

Quinn finally realized that he was in a daze. He could not help but laugh as he patted Bryce on the shoulder.

“You have a deep prejudice against Lauren right now. No matter how much I try to persuade you, you won’t accept it. You’ll understand when you grow up in the future.”

Bryce felt as if he had heard something out of the blue.

“Understand? I’m never going to understand. I’m not going to talk to you now, both of you had been drugged by this little brat. I’m going to my room!”

Quinn looked at his exasperated third brother as he walked up the stairs. He raised his eyebrows and planned to go to bed early as well.

After Pauline was arrested, Golden Star Agency had also stopped operating. They were now under investigation by the police.
