Chapter 858

Larissa kept trembling. She could not be bothered to think where Edmund had found out that Wendy was pregnant. She dug her nails hard into her flesh, using the pain to force herself to be calm.

“You …” She gritted her teeth, her throat tight. “What do you want to do exactly?”

“I want to meet up with you.” Edmund said.

Larissa gripped her phone very tightly as she asked him, “It meet with you, will you let go of Wendy?”

“Of course.” Edmund agreed very readily. “But-“His dragging out of the message caused Larissa to hold her breath. “You can only come alone.” Edmund’s voice became cold. “If I found out that you’ve called the police, or that someone’s following you secretly

Edmund laughed evilly. “You don’t want to know what I do to Wendy.”

*Fine!” Larissa could not be bothered to think. The only thing in her head right now was to save Wendy from Edmund. Even if she had to lose her life for this, she did not care. After all, this happened because of Larissa herself.

*I go alone. Give me the address.”

Edmund’s address was near the airport. It was very far from here.

Larissa could not leave Aster alone at home, but she did not dare to tell Lewis either. After a moment’s thought, she left a note for Aster. telling him to call Lewis after waking up to get his uncle to come accompany him.

Before leaving, she stared at Aster’s sleeping face for a while. The more she looked, the sadder and more reluctant she was. She did not dare to stay long. She only bent down to kiss Aster’s forehead lightly before closing her eyes to force down her tears. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Goodbye.” she whispered. Maybe this would not be a good “bye.” After all, they might never meet again.

On the way there, Larissa could not help but call Kevan again with a shaky hand. Still, no one answered: so, Larissa hung up instead and gave up on trying.

Maybe they really had a shit destiny together. Even in if they had decided to be together, they would still be separated for a million reasons.

Larissa parked the car by the road and sent Kevan a final WhatsApp message. “Take care of Aster and my dad.”

“For me,” she thought.

Once she was on the road again, Larissa was more relaxed than before. It was probably because she had given everything she had to Kewan, whom she trusted.

She was not really trying to go die. But what it it really–Well that was her lile too. There was nothing to lear or complain about.

After she reached the place, Larissa found out that it was a very small and lonely motel. In a place like Westonia, people who lived in motels like these were usually from the lower classes, and they usually had a pretty complicated background–normal residents usually stayed away from such places.

Larissa nervously zipped up her down jacket fully and covered her head with a hat. She wrapped a scarf around her neck to also cover her lace with,

She lowered her head and tried to make herself as small as possible. Even so, when she walked through the corridors, she was still catcalled and whistled at by a couple of thugs leaning against doors.

Larissa’s right hand was hidden in her pocket. She lowered her voice to scare them. “Fuck off if you don’t want to diel

When the thugs saw that her pocket was bulging with something, they ran away, scared. They only threw ugly curses at Larissa.

Afraid that someone would come looking for more trouble, Larissa quickly moved forward. When she found Edmund’s room, she knocked on the door.

Larissa replied, “It’s me, Larissa.”

The door cracked open.
