Chapter 564 Laurynâs heart skipped a beat when she heard Nikolas wanted to die with Lennon. She blurted out, âIs Lenny okay? Did he get hurt?â
Rayne scoffed, âThatâs none of your business. Youâre doomed. If you confess to poisoning Royce, it can be counted as a newâ
crime selfâsurrender, and you might get a lighter sentence. But if the police find evidence against you, youâll lose the chance for leniency.â
âA lighter sentence?â Laurynâs eyes were full of sarcasm.âDo you think Iâm stupid? If I poisoned Royce, would the Stark family let me go? And you are talking about leniency. Thatâs hilarious.â
Rayne said coldly, âSo, youâre not going to admit it.â
Lauryn kept her mouth shut.âWhy should I admit to something I didnât do?â
âTimeâs up,â the prison guard announced.
They hung up the phone, and Lauryn was led away by the prison guard.
Before leaving, she turned and gave Rayne a meaningful smile.
The day before, after Mariela was out of danger, Rayne told Lennon about Royce being poisoned.
Royce was so poisoned that he didnât have long. There was no need for him to be in the ICU, so the doctor moved him to a regular ward so he could spend his last days with his family.
Bella was shocked the night before and had a heart attack. She was also admitted to the hospital.
From last night until now, Lennon had been by Royceâs bedside, except when he went to see Bella.
Rayne left the prison, had lunch outside, and then went to the hospital.
In Royceâs hospital room.
Rayne glanced at Lennon, âHave you had meals?â
Lennon shook his head and said, âIâm not hungry.â
âYou have to eat even if youâre not hungry. Youâre injured too. You canât skip meals.â
With that, Rayne called Lennonâs assistant, Thomas.âSend some lunch to Lenny.â
âYes, madam,â Thomas replied.
The day before, when Mariela had the accident, Thomas came to the hospital with Lennon.
Later, he learned about Royceâs poisoning and hospitalization.
So, even without Rayne specifying the location, Thomas knew where to send the food.
âYour grandfather will be back in New York tomorrow afternoon,â Rayne told Lennon.
