Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 177

Laurel’s POV

“Blake darling, drive carefully on your way back!” I called out, waving from the mansion’s entrance. The afternoon sun warmed my back as I tilted my head just right.

My mother stood beside me. “Blake, take care on the road,”

Blake merely nodded, not bothering with words. He climbed back into his car without looking back. The black sedan pulled away, gravel crunching under its tires.

I kept waving until the car disappeared around the bend. The moment it was gone, my hand dropped and my smile vanished.

I turned sharply and walked into the mansion.

“Laurel,” my mother hurried after me, “I’m so happy you came to visit your sister! Should we go up to the third floor to see her now?”

At the mention of Rachel, irritation flashed across my face. “What’s the rush? She’s a vegetable – she’s not going anywhere.”

I yanked my wrist away when she tried to grab it. “I’m exhausted. I’m taking a nap.”

As I started toward the stairs, a thought hit me. I turned around, fixing my mother with a cold stare.
