Chapter 960: Chapter 462: Life Hangs in the Balance

Even the quilt on her body had the same feel.

Lawrence Winters casually pulled the quilt open wider.

Inside the quilt, the duvet cover was even more flamboyant.

It was a gigantic black-and-white double-petaled lotus flower, printed on the duvet cover, near Alice Blythe’s body.

The petals were drawn intricately and cramped, enough to trigger someone’s fear of clusters.

Lawrence quickly covered the quilt, not wanting to see that double-petaled lotus flower.

The double-petaled lotus is one of the mascots of the Celestial Path Sect; what’s the implication of printing it on the quilt?

Lawrence straightened up, filled with deep-seated resentment towards the person behind the scenes.

People of the Celestial Path Sect always emphasized doing good and accumulating virtue, but there were still degenerates who crawled and groveled, only willing to play accomplice.

Mrs. Blythe also carefully scrutinized her daughter, wanting to help Lawrence find out anything unusual.

But aside from Alice’s sleeping posture, she didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.

She sighed and said, "It’s our fault, her father and I, we’ve been too focused on our careers, completely neglecting her. It’s our mistake, we’re willing to pay any price, as long as she can wake up."

Lawrence glanced at her.

She spoke as if Alice had already died once; the tone was too strange.

Mrs. Blythe looked at Alice with deep affection, caressing her forehead and her face.

Alice’s sleep cap was accidentally pushed aside by Mrs. Blythe, revealing the ink-black hair underneath.

Her hair was smooth and had been combed into a bun, with even her ears wrapped in the dark strands.

Lawrence frowned at the rather old-fashioned hairstyle and asked, "Who did her hair?"

Mrs. Blythe thought for a moment, "Maybe the nurse? Since she fell into a deep sleep, we hired several nurses to watch over her 24/7."

Lawrence replied with an "Hmm," thinking that she must find a chance to ask Alice’s nurse, while casually tugging at Alice’s hair.

Since she enjoyed face-reading, she had slight obsessive tendencies, insisting on seeing people’s facial features, namely ears, eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips.

Since she couldn’t see Alice’s ears now, she instinctively tugged at the part of the bun wrapped around Alice’s ears.

As she pulled, the neatly done bun scattered in all directions, the black strands instantly covering the pillow, revealing her crystal-clear, pure white earlobes.

Lawrence was slightly taken aback.

She saw that Alice was wearing a pair of small nail-sized diamond earrings.

Previously, with the sleep cap and the bun hairstyle, these earrings were completely concealed.

If she hadn’t instinctively wanted Alice’s earlobes to show, no one would have discovered these earrings.

Lawrence pressed against the earring on Alice’s left ear.

It was a small arch, with two round protrusions underneath, like buttons.

The diamond’s clarity was excellent, almost emitting a rainbow glow under the bedroom lights.

Curiously, Lawrence asked, "Does Miss Blythe like wearing earrings even while sleeping?"

If it were studs, Lawrence might not have asked.

Because many people generally don’t remove their studs, wearing them all the time.

But these earrings were not studs; they practically covered the entire earlobe.

If Alice were to sleep on her side, her ears would be quite uncomfortable because of these earrings.

Mrs. Blythe hesitantly said, "...Uh, I’m also not sure."

Lawrence glanced at her again, thinking that this mother was indeed rather incompetent.

With such a grown daughter, she didn’t know the details of her life.

Probably if she weren’t lying here unable to move, neither parent would invest this much concern.

Lawrence leaned closer, bending down to take a closer look at Alice Blythe’s earrings.

As she got closer, she seemed to hear a very indistinct sound, like someone whispering at the ear, full of lover’s tenderness.

Lawrence felt a stir in her heart and casually removed the earring from Alice’s left ear.

Upon removal, the voice became a bit louder.

Of course, that was relatively speaking.

Lawrence’s vision and hearing were sharper than most, seeing further and hearing more clearly than others by many times.

So Mrs. Blythe didn’t hear anything, yet Lawrence had already noticed the anomaly with the earring.

She examined it in her hand for a while, then brought it to her own ear.

"...Do you feel that life is dull? That the world isn’t worth it?"

A very pleasant male voice came from the earring.

Lawrence’s hand shook as she exclaimed, "This isn’t an earring! This is an earphone!"
