Chapter 227
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 227<\/p>\n
The noise was so startling that Odette hurried around the screen to check. When she saw what was happening, it hit her so hard she almost collapsed, her body swaying as if her heart had actually taken a blow.<\/p>\n
Quentin, Odette, and a couple of nurses worked together to hold Lawrence down. He was in bad shape, way too tired and running on no sleep, but he still fought against them, refusing to give in. In the end, they had to sedate him to get him to calm down.<\/p>\n
Odette dabbed at the blood oozing from Lawrence\u2019s wound, her hand trembling as she wiped it away. In that moment, she looked so much older, like all her grace and warmth had disappeared in seconds.<\/p>\n
Quentin let out a heavy sigh. \u201cOdette, you saw it yourself. Lawrence\u2019s situation is serious. He just can\u2019t take any more of this pressure. If he keeps going like this, something terrible will happen, and we might lose him for good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Odette gripped Lawrence\u2019s hand firmly. She\u2019d heard everything Quentin just said\u2014how Lawrence had gone after Bonnie so many times, haunted her life. That was never the kind of thing Lawrence would have done before.<\/p>\n
She forced herself to speak, her voice barely more than a whisper. \u201cQuentin, is there any hope for him?\u201d<\/p>\n
Quentin hesitated, choosing his words carefully. \u201cWhen it comes to mental health, there are never any promises. But the most important thing right now is keeping him far away from what\u2019s hurting him. I don\u2019t know if you noticed, but Lawrence has started acting just like Hannah. Even when he doesn\u2019t realize it, her influence on him is huge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Odette looked up at him, eyes wide with shock.<\/p>\n
Quentin continued, \u201cFrom a psychological perspective, Lawrence\u2019s obsession with Bonnie is compulsive. People in this kind of paranoid state aren\u2019t in control; they\u2019re acting on instinct more than reason. He learned this behavior from the way Hannah used to manipulate him. It gives him a tiny bit of relief when he does these things, so he keeps repeating them. But the pain isn\u2019t gone. He just passes it on to someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n
This was her fault. She had destroyed her own son. All because she couldn\u2019t be cruel, because she felt responsible for Jeniffer and for Hannah, because she was too soft to say no. In the end, she traded away her son\u2019s happiness for everyone else\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n
The person most to blame wasn\u2019t anyone else. It was her.<\/p>\n
Odette brought Lawrence\u2019s hand up to her cheek, her tears slipping through her fingers. \u201cSon, this is all my fault. I\u2019m so, so sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
From now on, she would carry that pain herself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-895","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
