If Lana weren't pregnant, Larissa would have mercilessly yanked away her hand. As Lana stood in her way, a few bodyguards appeared and surrounded her. "Miss, please be careful." All of the bodyguards looked visibly worried, as if they wished to hold her hand and provide support as she walked. "I'm fine. Don't worry." Lana waved them away in annoyance. Then, she complained to Larissa, feigning annoyance. "My husband can be so overbearing. I told him I wanted to go shopping, and he goes and sends a whole battalion of guards to tail me. He's constantly worried I might stumble, calling me every ten minutes. I'm not a three-year-old, for heaven's sake. Why does he worry so much?"Larissa could see the pride in Lana's gaze, and she had come here to flaunt it all. "Your husband is so good to you," Larissa said and tried her best to look envious. She knew that she would never get to leave unless Lana was happy. "What's good about that?" Lana chuckled, voicing her complaint. Then,

"If you get a third chance at marriage, you should try to get pregnant as soon as possible," Lana advised. "At your age, it becomes increasingly difficult to conceive the longer you delay, and the risks are also higher." Every word she spoke carried an air of sincerity, although she was subtly adding salt to Larissa's wound. However, Larissa didn't mind it at all and played along. She nodded and gave a faint response. As they approached the escalator, Larissa prepared to step onto it when she suddenly felt a strong jolt on her arm. Lana, seemingly lost in her thoughts, had missed a step. With that, she fell forward and pulled Larissa along with her. Larissa managed to grab onto the handrail to steady herself, while Lana ended up falling onto the escalator. "Ah!" Lana cried out in pain, prompting her bodyguard to swiftly stop the escalator. They immediately helped her up from the ground. Tears streamed down Lana's face as she glared at Larissa in disbelief. Amidst her tears, she a

Larissa decided to visit the Rogers, fully aware that she was the one responsible for the trouble that had arisen. She understood that it wouldn't be fair for Kevan's parents to bear the blame for her actions.Bernard and Maria were in the living room with gloomy expressions. As soon as they spotted Larissa, they lunged toward her in a frenzy. "You vicious bitch! If anything happens to my grandson, I'll make sure you pay with your life!"Maria, with her long nails, swiftly left three bloody marks on Larissa's face in a split second. Violet couldn't act fast enough and was only able to pull Larissa away after the latter had covered her face. "Calm down! Listen to what Lari has to say." "What's there to say? Will she admit to what she did? I've never seen such a vicious woman. Nana is her sister! How could she do that to her?" Maria glared at Larissa.Larissa maintained a resolute gaze and replied, "I did not push Lana. She fell on her own. If you truly wish to debate this matter, I

"Yes," Larissa said, glancing out of the car window. The rain slid down the glass, blurring the city she had harbored disdain for over two decades. In a way, it was a welcome obstruction. The driver continued to babble on, but she didn't hear a thing he said. Due to the traffic congestion, Larissa had to dash across the airport to make it to her flight. When the plane was about to take off, the air stewardess gently reminded the passengers to turn off their phones. In the end, Larissa succumbed to her desire and sent Kevan a text. "Goodbye. I hope that you'll be happy with her." It was uncertain whether he would ever come across this text—whether he would only see it years later or remain forever unseen. However, Larissa didn't mind. For her, this act held a profound significance. By bidding farewell to him, she could have closure and finally leave her past behind. The long flight had left her feeling drowsy, and the incessant wails of a child in the economy seat gave her a he

The middle-aged man sat on the shuttle bus with Larissa, and after his passionate introduction, Larissa found out his name—Gary Logan. He worked at Blue Star Shipping, an internationally renowned company. Due to work commitments, he had to travel back and forth between Caldor and Aldovia. "Usually, my assistant would be with me; however, he had some family problems, so he couldn't come on this trip. Who would have thought such an incident would happen? Fortunately, you were there," Gary said, still visibly shaken. Then, he asked Larissa for her business card. "I have to deal with some company affairs today. I will treat you to a meal some other day to thank you for saving my life." Larissa smiled apologetically, "I'm here to study. I just arrived." Gary's response was barely audible as he furrowed his brows, saying, "Isn't university registration at the end of August? Why are you here so early?"Larissa lowered her head in embarrassment and explained, "I came over to brush up

"Why are you still as stubborn as you were in the past?" Wendy chuckled, finding Larissa's determination amusing."Why do you still enjoy exposing me like you always did in the past?" Larissa pouted and glared at her.Their eyes met, and both of them couldn't help but laugh."This is great. It feels just like old times," Wendy sighed contentedly. "Yes, it does," Larissa agreed with a nod. Although time had passed and they both had changed, their friendship remained unchanged.In the end, Wendy drove them home. She lived on the outskirts, so there weren't many tall buildings. Every house in this area was a villa with a huge courtyard. It was the same for Wendy's house. Wendy had bought the house in full payment with her savings. "This place cost me about as much as a restroom cubicle in Bartham." Larissa was envious and even more so when she entered Wendy's house and saw her garage, game room, and gym. She could also afford these things but lacked such a big house. "The on

Larissa was caught off guard by her question and instinctively denied it. "Well, I haven't eaten for a day, so it's not unusual to be starving, right?" "That makes sense." Wendy nodded and accepted her explanation. However, the situation persisted into the next day. Larissa once again found herself being pulled out of the bed by Wendy. They had to complete the admission procedures at the language academy, so they had to get up early. Larissa had set the alarm but was so deep in her sleep that she didn't hear it.Wendy couldn't help but complain, "Are you a pig? You were asleep the whole day yesterday. How could you still sleep at night?" Worried that Larissa might be experiencing jet lag, Wendy had planned to stay up all night chatting with her. To her surprise, when she returned from taking a shower, she found Larissa fast asleep in her room. With a sleepy yawn, Larissa admitted, "I might actually be one."Wendy prepared breakfast. There was toast, fried eggs, bacon, and a

In her memory, she had indeed been celibate for a long time. Wendy gripped her hand, her expression slowly getting serious. "Do you want this child?" asked Wendy. "No!" said Larissa without a moment's hesitation. There was no way she could birth this child that had come into her life out of the blue, and she didn't even know who its father was. There was no way she would allow her own tragedy to befall her child. She wasn't Yvette and couldn't bear to do such a cruel thing.Wendy told the doctor Larissa's decision, and the smile on the doctor's face faded into a regretful expression. "I will schedule your surgery as soon as possible," she said, "But you need to undergo a comprehensive pre-surgery examination." After almost an hour of hassle, the doctor said, "You aren't in a fit condition for surgery." She handed Larissa a bunch of medication and said, "Go home and tune yourself back to health and come back for another checkup in a week. I also hope you can reconsider your decisio
