After what had happened, it was absolutely impossible for Betty to stay in Solana City any longer.
However, Jasper was still wearing a frown.
He called Landon as soon as he left Seaview Manor, but there was no answer.
This situation was rare in their nearly 20 years of friendship, so it made him feel uneasy.
That evening, Alyssa brought out the teddy bear cake that Cyrus had sent to share with Lauren.
In the warmly lit room, Alyssa brought the cake to Lauren. Her eyes were filled with affection as she said, "Lauren, try this cake. It arrived in the morning, and I've been craving it but couldn't bear to eat it. I've been waiting to share it with you."
Lauren's slender body leaned against the head of the bed. Her fair and tender face appeared pale and gaunt. It was a heartbreaking sight.
"Alyssa, eat if you want to. You don't have to wait for me."
Alyssa blinked. "No way. This was bought for you."
"Who bought it for me?"
Alyssa hesitated slightly.
Sensing that hesitation, Lauren gently asked, "Was it... Cyrus?"
"Yes, Cyrus bought it for you." Now that it had been revealed, she had no need to conceal it anymore. Otherwise, it would seem pretentious.
"Has Cyrus visited?"
Lauren was pure-hearted. At the thought of Cyrus, her moist eyes brightened a little. "He came all this way. Why didn't you let him come in and sit for a while?"
"He's a busy man. He still has to go back to the police station to handle cases."
"Then... Alyssa, could you call Cyrus later and thank him for me?" Lauren's beautiful eyes showed sincerity.
Alyssa smiled and nodded. Suddenly, a hint of bitterness welled up in her chest.
She could tell that Lauren had no appetite. She barely ate dinner just now, let alone dessert.
But she still tried hard to take each bite, swallowing them down. The corners of her eyes, which were tinged with a faint pink, exuded a subtle sense of contentment.
"It's really nice. Alyssa, you should try some too."
"Okay."
