Chapter 369 Lauren's Hatred The moment the accusatory words were hurled, Lauren instinctively bowed her head, trying to make herself smaller as she silently absorbed the barrage of curses and insults.

There was no way she could fight back or try to defend herself, nor did she intend to. This roof over her head was provided by this dirty man who made a livelihood from scavenging.

It may not seem like much, considering how much she had in the past. But at the moment, it was a sanctuary to her. Without it, she would have nowhere to stay.

Lauren wanted to get treatment for her ailments, but she didn't have anything

except the poor excuse for clothes on her body, and she didn't have any means to get the money.

The scars she carried were not just physical reminders, but also emotional wounds that never seemed to heal and only grew worse with time.

It was only when the dirty man with a limp left and silence reigned in the room for several minutes that Lauren dared to raise her head.

The evidence of her trauma was etched onto her face. One side remained unscathed, while the other bore the horrific marks of severe burns.

The injury was a harsh reminder of the moment she had been abandoned on the side of the road, her face brutally scraped against the unforgiving asphalt when a car accidentally hit

her, chunks of skin torn away in the merciless drag. The agony she endured was beyond words, a torment that cleaved through her very soul.

Despite the harrowing torment, Lauren gingerly got back to her feet and tried to ask the car driver for compensation, but the car driver refused and insisted I on calling the police and going through the insurance procedures.

Lauren was afraid the police would discover her past wrongdoings and arrest her, so she did the only thing she could think of at that moment.

That was to flee away.

Since she was unsuccessful in getting money from the driver, her injuries remained untreated. As time passed, the wounds turned into scabs and eventually healed until it became a rugged terrain of scars, hideous and

unpleasant to look at.

Lauren had cut ties with her family a while ago, and not long after,.she was stripped of her resources and connections. As horrific as the past few days had been, there was nothing she could do to change her fate but to sit in limbo, waiting for death to find her.

But even at that, the idea that that dirty man with a limp could throw her out was laughable. Just thinking of it roused the old Lauren, and a sinister light flickered within her eyes.

There was a creak and the door was suddenly pushed open.

Lauren had an unexpected guest.
