Chapter 219: Fell Ill Suddenly

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Franklin Torres said, “Everyone has their own fate. This kind of thing cannot be forced. Wasn’t it all because of a series of coincidences that you and Lauren got to know each other?”

Quinn Torres nodded. That was true. If not for the Golden Star Agency’s banquet where Lauren Torres was coincidentally invited, there would not have been a series of events subsequently.

Since that was the case, then he would leave it to fate.

Lauren Torres nodded as well. She would leave it to fate!

Other than the tense relationship between Bryce Torres and Lauren Torres, everything else seemed to be improving.

However, things just didn’t go according to what they had wished.

The next day, on Sunday, after breakfast, Lauren Torres planned to do her handiwork.

She took out all the things from her bag and sat on the carpet in the living room, concentrating on drawing and cutting.

When Maria Julian saw this, she helped her with the handiwork.

In fact, this handcraft work was originally meant to be done with her parents. Now that her mother was involved, Lauren Torres was very happy.

The other four men each had their respective things to do.

Franklin Torres and Sean Torres were discussing work in the study room upstairs. Although Sean Torres no longer interfered with the work of the Torres Group, Franklin Torres would still report the progress of the work to Sean Torres regulary.

At this time, Quinn Torres was making phone calls everywhere in the room preparing for his studio. Bryce Torres continued to brush up on the questions while Wendy went out to buy groceries.

Therefore, only Maria Julian and Lauren Torres were in the living room.

As the theme of the handiwork project this time was the zoo, they needed to use cardboard to draw a lot of small animals and cut them out.

This was a big project, so they divided the work and worked together.

Lauren Torres was in charge of drawing while Maria Julian was in charge of paper cutting. The two of them worked very well together.

“Look! The rabbit that Lauren drew looks so nice!”

Lauren Torres raised and showed the white paper in her hand to Maria Julian.

The rabbit on the white paper indeed looked very nice. It was vivid and agile.

“It’s really nice. Lauren is really good at drawing. This little rabbit’s eyes are round, just like Lauren’s eyes.”

Upon hearing Maria Julian’s praise, Lauren Torres happily clapped her hands.

However, this heartwarming scene did not last long.

While Maria Julian was cutting, something happened to her body.

Lauren Torres saw that her face was pale, and her lips were pale, too. She was panting heavily as if she could not breathe and was feeling very uncomfortable.

Lauren Torres immediately put down her pen and squatted down beside Maria Julian.

“Mom, what’s wrong?”

Maria Julian put down her scissors and leaned back against the sofa. She was gasping for air, unable to speak.

She raised her hand as if she wanted to stroke Lauren Torres’hair and comfort her.

Lauren Torres was about to diagnose Maria Julian.

She had studied medicine for a long time previously. And her biggest goal was to treat Maria Julian’s illness.

However, before she could act, she heard Sean Torres’s anxious voice and hurried footsteps.

“Maria, what’s wrong with you?!”

Franklin Torres was equally anxious behind Sean Torres.

Sean Torres pushed away Lauren Torres, who was standing beside Maria Julian. Lauren Torres staggered and stepped back.

Then Sean Torres carried Maria Julian in his arms and told Franklin Torres to call Maria Julian’s family doctor.

The family doctor lived nearby them. His house was right behind theirs. He rushed over with the medical kit in less than two minutes.

The doctor was a young man who looked less than 30 years old.

After entering the house, he greeted Franklin Torres and others with familiarity and walked upstairs right away.

Franklin Torres followed the doctor upstairs and explained the situation to him as they were walking.

“I’m not sure. She’s been panting since we came down. She doesn’t seem to have any symptoms like this before.”

“It seems like this is the first time she is panting.”

Franklin Torres and the doctor disappeared at the corner of the stairs.

Only Lauren Torres was left standing alone in the living room. She was at a loss and did not know what to do.

She could still feel the anger and impatience in Sean Torres’s eyes when he pushed her away.

Since the incident took place, no one said a single word to her. It made Lauren Torres feel like she was the culprit. She was the one who made her mother sick. However, she didn’t do anything at all.

After sorting out her emotions, she went up to the second floor.

Maria Julian’s room was full of tall and strong men. Lauren Torres stood in the corner and listened quietly.

The few men were standing in front of Maria Julian’s bed, so Lauren Torres could not see her face clearly.

She could only see the doctor hold the stethoscope and begin to diagnose Maria Julian.
