Can’t Win Me Back

As Lauren wrote, a soft and motherly glow came across her face.

Landon, on the other hand, hid behind her.

His face was downcast, and his pale lips trembled uncontrollably.

He nuzzled against her longingly.

His eyes filled with tears that were so close to streaming down his face.

that you didn't want to have children?" Landon's voice was unusually low and gravelly.

With his lips right next to her ear, he asked, "Didn't you want to study art and be my only woman forever?" Lauren's lashes fluttered shyly.

She focused her attention on writing, "That was in the past.

"Landon, I know that my physical condition isn't great.

I have to take medications and get injections every day.

I don't even know when I can be discharged.
