Thunder boomed loudly, precisely overlapping the sounds of Larissa's pounding heartbeat in her ears. Collecting herself, she looked at the puddle gathering around Kevan's feet and frowned subconsciously."It's raining so heavily out there …" The rest of her complaint died in her throat when Kevan suddenly interrupted her with a loud sneeze.Kevan awkwardly covered his nose. His gaze darted to and fro, likely out of embarrassment as he refused to lock eyes with Larissa. There was even a faint flush on his pale face.Pretending not to see his discomfort, Larissa got Mrs. Griffin to get him some tissues. Kevan swiftly turned around and wiped away any snot that had sprayed out accidentally."My apologies." His face was still red, but he was much more collected than before. Larissa did not find his prior actions to be rude though—on the contrary, the way he looked so disheveled now made him seem a little bit more human, which … well … was kind of cute."Hurry up and go shower!" Mrs. Gr

Kevan was momentarily dazed. Even if he had thought of staying behind, he did not expect Larissa to agree to this notion so easily. After recollecting himself, he did his best to fight against the smile forming on his face before surveying the ward briefly, musing in an awkwardly low voice, "There's only one bedside chair. Mrs. Griffin …""Just get the nurses to add another," Larissa said as she reached out for the call button at the head of the bed."Adding another chair" was not the result that Kevan wanted. If there was someone around—even if they were only staying in the same room, he could not sleep. But at least he could accompany her.It was easy for another chair to be added to the ward, especially VIP wards. The nurse brought in another chair along with a couple of other nurses, and Mrs. Griffin saw them blocking the door when she came back from her stroll.Hurrying over, Mrs. Griffin asked at a one and a half feet distance from them, "What are you doing?"A nurse glanced

Lewis' request was easy for Kevan. "I need you to put it out there that Microworks will be working together with Fantasy Utopia for 'Traveling Through Time,' the movie that you're shooting this year."The momentum of Microworks buying the rights to "Traveling Through Time" was pretty big. Even people who did not bother paying attention to it would have heard of it. But Lewis knowing about it had exceeded Kevan's expectations. Even more so was the fact that Lewis mentioned Fantasy Utopia.Kevan was familiar with the company, Fantasy Utopia. When they were shooting "Wormhole," he had once struggled to decide between Fantasy Utopia and Crescent Legend for their post-production team. Later, a movie that Crescent Legend had done the special effects for was screened, gaining pretty good box office sales, and their reputation began to surge too.In order to ride out on this bit of success, the company brass decided on Crescent Legend as a bid for a favorable outcome.Both companies worked

Larissa did not remember how long it had been since she last heard Aster's voice. She kept thinking about it, to the point that she was close to hallucinating. She could frequently hear Aster calling her "Mommy," repeatedly in happiness, joy, depression, sadness …But she knew all too well that those were merely hallucinations.However, it was different this time."Are you working?" Aster's voice held some confusion and tentativeness in it.Larissa stared at Kevan's phone so hard that her vision actually blurred out, though she did not know if the staring was what caused it to happen."Yeah." Kevan peeked at Larissa out of the corner of his eye, his tone gentle as it always was whenever he was chatting with Aster."Aw …" Aster drew out the word with disappointment. "I … I'll call later then~"He video-called Kevan at this time almost every day, so naturally, he thought that Kevan was free right now."No need." Kevan stopped him and took the initiative in the conversation. "Did

As Bartham was the leading city out of all the major cities, all transport lines and power were swiftly restored after the storm. It was only around 8 am when Gary rushed over to the hospital with Lewis in tow, yanking Kevan—who was still asleep in the chair—up and chasing him out. "Mr. Rogers, you can go now."Kevan had slept for less than two hours, and he could barely keep his eyes open. But his back straightened up out of habit as he sat back dazedly in the chair, which made him look kind of cute.Larissa could not bear it, and told Gary, "Let him sleep for a little while longer."Her plea only caused the jealousy in Gary's heart to burn hotter. But he could not say any words of denial to her, so he could only compromise. "Isn't the ward next door empty? Let the nurse know that he will be going over there to sleep." To show his "consideration," Gary added, "So that we won't disturb him here."His suggestion was fairly reliable to Larissa. The wards on their floor were all VIP w
