"Milly?" After ending the call, Larissa raised her voice and called. The bedroom door was only half closed.Milly stuck her head inside and heard Larissa ask, "Is there anyone outside?"The person outside …Milly turned carefully to see—Kevan was looking at her too. He expressionlessly shook his head, and Milly got the message at once. "It's just me.""Oh." Larissa slumped into the head of the bed at once. Her grip tightened around her phone, and her thumb kept rubbing unconsciously at the screen.The phone's screen also kept lighting up and blacking out because of that. The camera happened to be pointed at her face, and the phone unlocked automatically. Larissa's thumb accidentally tapped on WhatsApp, and Kevan's chat was right there.After she went abroad to recover, the number of people who looked for her lessened a lot. Because of that, even though the last time she spoke to Kevan was more than half a month ago, his chat was still the first on the list.Larissa stared at K

Although Larissa knew that the young man was purposely making things hard for her, he was still fine compared to some of the weird hotel guests she had met. Such little trouble was not enough to make her angry at all.This time, Kevan replied very quickly, "You're sick."Larissa understood what he meant at once. That young man kept wasting their time, which caused her to catch a cold, which led to her having a fever and basically being sick."My body is just weak. Bartham is too cold, and the wind is strong. Even if I didn't go to the hospital today, I would have gotten sick anyway."Kevan did not reply for a very long time. After some time, he finally texted three words. "I got it."It was him reaching a compromise with her.Larissa let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you."She did not want a whole family to be ruined because of her.…The cold medication that the doctor gave her made her drowsy. After Larissa took it, she felt sleepy very soon after. When she was somewhat half-

There should be family members going to pay respects to Yvette the second day after she had been buried. But the only "family" Yvette had now was Larissa. But this funeral was never arranged according to what was "normal." Lewis wanted Larissa to not attend the funeral because she had not fully recovered.The cemetery was at a secluded place on the outskirts. It was colder than the city, which was packed with buildings. Larissa's fever had not fully gone down yet. If she went out and caught a cold again, it would only make her fever worse."Just let me go." Larissa's nose was so clogged that her voice had a nasally sound to it. "We'll be leaving tonight, and there won't be any chances to do this in the future."Lewis studied her for a while. "You're sure?"Larissa nodded without hesitation. "At the very least, she gave birth to me."After Yvette died, Larissa let go of many things. It was not that she was trying to be a saint or anything. She just thought that it was not worth

Yvette was buried in a regular cemetery along with the "normal" people that she once looked down on. She would sleep forever among the pine trees on the hill.Because Larissa didn't care, Lewis had not picked the plot of land where Yvette would be buried. He got someone to recommend a spot. It happened to face the man-made lake. The scenery was nice, but they had to climb up to the halfway point of the hill.Bartham had been stricter in their management of funeral proceedings and visitations. The candles Lewis brought with him had to be thrown away at the bottom of the hill.He joked to Larissa, "I guess Yvette will never get lit candles for the proceedings."Larissa bit her lip as she stared at the candles that were now in the trash can. She did not say anything."Do you think everything Yvette did was worth it?" Lewis asked her, "She sold her body at such a young age to get a life of luxury in return. She bowed down constantly with the Seymours, was disrespected by everyone, and

It was likely that she had caught a cold in the cemetery because when Larissa got back to the hotel, her fever returned.Lewis almost suspected that she did this on purpose to stay longer in Caldor. But Larissa looked so unwell that he knew she was telling the truth.He explained everything to Gary before canceling their flight tickets.Gary was not happy with them postponing their return. Still, he said, "Lari's health is important. Take good care of her there. Don't let her get sick anymore."…The doctor prescribed two shots for Larissa yesterday. Lewis summoned the nurse to administer the last one.The nurse that came over today was still Milly.Milly had never seen Lewis before. The moment she entered Larissa's room and saw an unfamiliar man there, the first thing she thought of was that she had entered the wrong room. She kept apologizing as she quickly exited the room while leaving Lewis and Larissa very confused."Ms. Nurse, please wait!" When Lewis chased after her t

Larissa was used to seeing young girls like Milly. If this were before, she would have put an end to what Milly was thinking. But Larissa really liked Milly, so she did not expose Milly's feelings. She even did her best to give Milly the answers she wanted. "He's like a brother to me. If he had a girlfriend, she may not get jealous over this sort of thing."Milly relaxed."Your cousin doesn't have a girlfriend?!" She widened her eyes."He's so handsome! How can he not have a girlfriend?! You can't be lying to me, right?"Larissa found it odd as well. With how Lewis looked, it was weird for him not to have a girlfriend. She could only think of one explanation."Maybe it's because he's so busy with work. That's why he doesn't have time to get a girlfriend.""What does your cousin do? Why would he be so busy that he can't even get a girlfriend?" Milly straightened up at once. Her face was super serious like she was discussing a very philosophical problem with Larissa."He h

Kevan had been distracted for the whole day. Even during his meeting, he would pick up his phone and glance at it.Larissa never looked for him.He could not tell what he was feeling. He wished Larissa would take the initiative to talk to him. Alas, he was also afraid that she would say things that he did not want to hear.He had seen how cold she was to him during these two days—so much so that it could be counted as scorn.His gamble this time still achieved results that were the exact opposite of what he wanted. But he did not regret it. Aster's parentage would have to be brought up at some point. It was better to solve it early than drag it all out.He saw the news from his subordinate. Larissa and Lewis had gone to the cemetery. Larissa and Lewis had gone back to the hotel. Lewis had canceled tonight's flight tickets …Kevan was a little happy. He could not help but wonder if Larissa's choice to stay was because of him.Larissa's WhatsApp message was rather sudden.He ha

Larissa had almost never seen Kevan's face turn red unless they were in bed.At that time, it was because of his excitement. He gripped her waist pretty hard during the act while spewing the most embarrassing things ever at times.Larissa shamefully realized that she was getting excited.Kevan did not notice what she was thinking. When he was coughing, he was wondering how exactly he was supposed to answer the question in a way that would not make her angry."I didn't mean to purposely let people follow you," he said."Huh?" Larissa was stunned. It was after that that she realized that he had actually sent people to keep an eye on her.But she seemed to feel nothing for this sort of thing anymore.After that car accident, there were many people around her who were meant to protect her. She could not tell which were from Gary and which were from Kevan. Although her privacy had been violated, she knew that they all just wanted her to be okay."That's not the point." Larissa adjus
