Mr. Rogers? The only Mr. Rogers Larissa knew was Kevan. But she couldn’t figure out why he was the one who sent her here. She clearly was at Maria’s house when she fainted. "What time is it?" she asked the nurse. It was already dark outside, so she couldn’t tell the time. "It’s almost twelve," the nurse glanced at her watch and answered. "Thanks." Larissa nodded. Kevan wouldn’t drop by since it was so late. She turned off the lights and shut her eyes with relief. The nurse thoughtfully closed the door as she left. Larissa wasn’t too worn out due to the two hours of sleep she'd had when she fainted. After some time had passed, the door to her ward was suddenly pushed open. She stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes. A tall man stood by the door, blocking the light from the corridor outside, casting a huge shadow on the floor. Larissa couldn’t see his face clearly in the dim light, but she recognized him either way and called out, "Mr. Rogers?" "Hmm?" Kevan's cold

Larissa lay helplessly on the hospital bed. She had received visits from both Dylan and the police who had come to get her statement. The police informed her that Elliot, the middle-aged man who rented her house, had been arrested and would likely be imprisoned for three to five years before being released.Elliot's wife had hastily moved out of the house overnight—presumably afraid of the legal consequences, and her whereabouts remained unknown.In other words, after all the trouble Larissa went through, she finally had her house back. However, she was not entirely satisfied with this outcome. Dylan had helped her investigate Elliot’s transactions, which proved that he had not lied in regard to saying he had not received the refunds for the rent from Andrew. So, Larissa entrusted Dylan to continue assisting her in suing Janine, firmly stating that she would not accept a settlement.On the other hand, the real estate agent had contacted her and informed her of an interested buyer

There weren’t any extra chairs in the ward, and the sofa was too far away, so Kevan simply sat at the foot 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,

Maria and Jacob left soon as they were worried about disturbing Larissa’s rest. Kevan accompanied them all the way to the elevator before returning.As soon as he entered the door, he noticed Larissa looking at him with an inquisitive gaze, as if observing a rare jewel. Kevan touched his face embarrassedly and turned to avoid her gaze. "What's wrong?""Hmm? Nothing." Larissa realized that she had been staring at him and quickly averted her gaze. She was just slightly surprised. Others might not care as much about seeing off a guest, but she felt it was impolite not to do so. However, when Kevan did it, it made her feel he was humbling himself down. In fact, everything Kevan did after Maria and Jacob arrived went against his usual behavior.Larissa even suspected that Kevan had a twin brother that she was unaware of. Otherwise, none of his actions seemed logical. Kevan glanced at her a few more times, understanding what was going on in her mind, but he didn’t say anything about it.H

Larissa was discharged three days later as she strongly insisted on it. In fact, she wouldn’t have needed to be hospitalized if she hadn’t fainted from the pain that night, considering how minor her injuries were. Larissa asked Kevan for his account number, intending to repay him for the medical expenses that had been incurred over the past few days. However, he outright refuted her again and again. He was going to leave her place at the time, and was about to open the door, causing the door to be slightly ajar. Upon hearing her request, he turned his head and raised his eyebrows. "It's just a small amount of money." He suddenly curved his lips, revealing a teasing smile. "Besides, I’m supposed to be spending money on my girlfriend, aren’t I?" He said that casually and walked away without looking back, leaving Larissa standing frozen in a daze.Did he call her his girlfriend? He might have merely failed to mention they weren’t really dating, but her heart still started to poun
