Chapter 165: From Darkness to Light
As these children were involved in missing cases, the police had specially sent people to guard the door of the ward.
Some of the children’s parents had already rushed over upon hearing the news. They lay in front of the child’s bed and cried. It was unknown whether they were crying because they had finally found their child or because the child was currently unconscious.
As expected, more sincere prayers could be heard in the hospital than in the church.
As the parents were all in the hospital ward, it was not appropriate for Lauren to enter rashly. Instead, she stood at the door of the ward, looking from one ward to another.
“Mom, it was that sister who saved me. She even gave me a meat bun,” a young boy’s voice sounded from behind. Lauren turned her head and realized that the person who spoke was actually Oliver.
Perhaps it was because he had not spoken for a long time, Oliver’s voice was very hoarse.
Lauren had already summoned Oliver’s soul back. Although he still looked sallow and emaciated, his spirit was much better now.
There was an IV drip inserted into his hand. Beside him was a woman who was holding the drip bag for him.
The woman’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her hair was also very messy. It was obvious that she had left in a hurry.
It must be his mother.
Oliver and his mother walked towards Lauren.
Oliver’s mother immediately knelt on the ground as soon as she walked over.
“Thank you so much. You saved my son. Thank you!”
Lauren quickly went to help Oliver’s mother up.
“Auntie, please get up.”
Oliver’s mother stubbornly refused to get up. It was Ben who helped her up.
The human traffic was busy in the hospital, there was not a moment when it was quiet.
After sending Oliver and his mother back to the ward, Franklin then commented.
“There are too many people now, it’s not convenient for you to save these children. Why don’t we do it another day? I’ll contact the hospital director and have them seal this area.”
Lauren’s only thought was to save the children. She did not expect this. So, she just nodded her head.
Ben went to get the car while Lauren and Franklin waited at the hospital entrance.
Lauren felt a little tired, so she squatted down and hugged her knees with both hands.
Franklin received a call from work and was currently on the phone.
It was noon and the sun was blazing. The sun was directly shining down from above, and the temperature was a little high. However, Lauren felt very cold and her whole body was covered in cold sweat.
Ben drove over slowly.
Lauren stood up, but she suddenly felt her vision darken, and a wave of dizziness overwhelmed her.
“Lauren!”
“Miss Torres!”
Lauren saw Ben and Franklin running towards her at the same time, and their faces were full of surprise and anxiety.
Lauren did not know what happened next.
She felt like she had a very long dream. In the dream, it was pitch black and she was the only one walking.
In the dream, there was no concept of time or space. She did not know how long she had been walking for, so she could only keep walking forward.
Just when she was exhausted and wanted to give up, suddenly, there were a few figures in front of her. These figures were tall and big, and they looked very familiar.
Lauren ran forward with all her might and realized that they were Franklin, Quinn, Ben and Mr. Hayes.
When they saw Lauren, they extended their hands to her.
“Lauren!”
They called out Lauren’s name at the same time. Gradually, their voices overlapped with each other again.
In her dream, Lauren held their hands and walked forward until they finally reached a bright spot.
She suddenly opened her eyes and she was greeted with a familiar room.
The pitch-black night outside the window reminded Lauren that it was already night time.
She felt that she had no strength left in her body now. She felt lazy, and all she wanted to do was to lie down.
In the next second, the door to Lauren’s room was opened. The footsteps of the person who came were very light.
“Franklin.”
Lauren called out softly. She had already recognized from the footsteps that it was Franklin.
When he heard Lauren’s voice, Franklin quickly walked to her bedside.
“Lauren, you’re awake.” Franklin turned on the light above Lauren’s bed.
Lauren nodded. “Franklin, what happened to me? Why is it night time now?”
Franklin still had lingering fear when he thought about this incident. At that time, he was on the phone talking about work matters. When he turned around, he saw Lauren collapsed to the ground.
Behind him was the hospital, so he quickly took Lauren to the emergency room with Ben.
The doctor said it was because Lauren had not eaten for two days, and as a result, she had low blood sugar which caused her to faint.
After giving Lauren glucose, she was sent home.
