She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 716:

“Mr. Lambert, you…” Lawrence let the words trail off intentionally.

Ellis, already familiar with Lawrence’s reputation, didn’t flinch.

“We’re here to see Kristian Shaw. Is now a good time?”

“Of course. But Kristian’s still in a fragile state, so you’ll have to observe him through the glass. No entering the room,” Lawrence said, his voice calm and matter-of-fact.

“Alright,” Ellis responded.

A few moments later, Lawrence led the pair down a corridor that looked like something straight out of a science fiction flick. They passed through two layers of security doors before reaching Kristian’s room. Lawrence tapped a switch on the wall, and a wide panel of the wall slid aside to reveal a large window.

Kristian looked more or less the same.

His complexion wasn’t as ghostly as before, but it still lacked any real color. His eyes were shut tight, sunken slightly into his face, as if locked in a heavy sleep.

“Ms. Briggs,” Lawrence said, noting they hadn’t picked up on anything strange. “Since Kristian seems to want a bit of distance now, it might be better if you contacted me directly for updates. I’ll call if there’s any news. Sound good?”
