Can’t Win Me Back

Chapter 395

After escaping from Landon that night, Lauren found herself unable to sleep. Upon returning home, she discovered her injuries.

She had a severe scrape on her elbow that was bleeding and oozing pus. The stinging pain brought tears to her eyes.

As she had hurt herself after sneaking out, she kept quiet about her wounds and quickly tended to her injuries with whatever was available in the first aid kit.

Then, she snuggled with her teddy bear under the covers, but that didn’t help. She ended up tossing and turning throughout the night.

Between sleep and consciousness, a flood of memories inundated her mind.

She remembered the degrading experience of being forced to eat lunch in a squalid restroom. She also remembered the humiliating incident of being dunked headfirst into a trashcan by a male student under Zoe’s command.

She recalled the shocking discovery of a dead rat hidden in her bag and her cherished novel torn into shreds by Zoe’s cruel hands.

And then there was the harrowing memory of the music room piano. It was a nightmarish episode that

would haunt her forever.
