Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 176

Chapter 176 There weren’t any extra chairs in the ward, and the sola was too far away, so Kevan simply sat at the loot of Larissa’s bed, occupying a small space, cramped against the edge. Larissa was taken aback and quickly withdrew her legs as if she had been shocked. Kevan remained unfazed by her movements and said calmly. “Thank you both for yesterday. Once Lari recovers and is discharged from the hospital, we will treat you to a meal to express our gratitude.” He was acting exactly like her boyfriend, Larissa was shocked by his use of “Lari,” and her smile instantly froze, looking somewhat unnatural. According to the terms of their contract, they didn’t need to pretend to be a couple in this situation, She didn’t know what he was scheming, but she had to cooperate with him. “Yeah, if it weren’t for you, I might be in the intensive care unit now! Maria and Jacob felt slightly embarrassed. “We just did what should have been done. No one would just turn a blind eye in that kind of situation, right?” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Larissa retorted. “That’s not necessarily true.” There were many indifferent people in this world. She was fortunate to encounter Maria’s family. Otherwise, she would have been badly injured even if she didn’t die in yesterday’s situation. “To be honest, we should thank you too.” Maria looked at Kevan with gratitude in her eyes. “Early this morning, a few workers came and replaced the security door at our home. They said it was arranged by Larissa, but she couldn’t have had the time to think about iL considering her injuries, so it must have been your idea, right?” Although Kevan didn’t take credit for it at first, he didn’t attempt to hide it. “Yes, we should be responsible for that door.” He nodded. Larissa indeed didn’t think about this, not because she didn’t have the time, as Maria said, but simply because the thought never crossed her mind. She had to admire Kevan’s thoughtfulness and

thoroughness. “Oh. by the way, what happened to that lunatic? Maria remembered and asked. “Aher you two left yesterday, I heard some commotion from the opposite side. I secretly looked through the peephole and saw his wife carrying several large bags and leaving with a man in his twenties. I guess that should be their son.” Larissa didn’t care about where Elliot’s wife went or with whom. “The police said he’ll be locked up for at least three to five years.” Kevan answered. “Only three to five years? Maria sneered, obviously dissatisfied with this outcome. “People like him, who pose a threat to society, should be locked up for a lifetime!” “I think so too.” Kevan agreed with a glint of iciness in his eyes, making his gaze much colder. Maria shuddered, realizing that this was a sensitive topic, and abruptly switched the topic. “This VIP ward must be expensive to stay in for a day, right?” Since Larissa moved in last night, Kevan hadn’t mentioned a word to her, so she had no idea how much her treatment cost.
