Larissa sat on the bed. Gary smoothly poured a cup of hot tea for her. Lewis went to the restroom and returned with a towel to wipe the sweat off her face.Kevan stood awkwardly on the side, unable to find a way to join in.Her attention had been on him all along. Sensing his discomfort, she quickly changed the topic, asking, "Why are you here so early?"He shook the breakfast container in his hand, his tone carrying a hint of bitterness. "I thought you were still asleep, so I brought you breakfast.""Oh ..." She inexplicably felt a bit apologetic. "I wake up at 7 am every day. Then, I have breakfast and do the rehabilitation." She had been a model patient at the hospital, sticking to a routine of early to bed and early to rise, actively cooperating with treatment, and showing remarkable progress in recovery. The doctors often use her as an example to motivate other patients."It's fine," Kevan replied indifferently. He raised his arm, about to toss the breakfast container into

Since Gary still had a meeting, he left with Lewis. He was unhappy after getting lectured by Larissa. Kevan stayed behind to keep Larissa company. To cheer her up, he brought her downstairs in a wheelchair to bask in the sun. The small park at the hospital was one of the few peaceful places in Westonia. There weren't many tall buildings around to block out the sun. So, the warm sunrays shone down on the people in the park. It bathed them in a dazzling golden glow. Before they went out, Kevan wrapped Larissa in a thick down coat and covered her legs with a thick blanket. Still, Larissa found herself feeling hot after a couple of minutes. She unzipped the coat. Kevan frowned in disapproval. He went around the wheelchair. He knelt in front of her, zipping the coat back up to her chin. His fingers were long and slender. In contrast to the red coat, his skin looked even paler than usual. It made the bluish veins underneath more apparent. Larissa couldn't help but stare at Kevan.

"I heard about our past from Dylan." In the end, Kevan still couldn't be honest with her. Using Dylan as an excuse, he tried to bring up their history together. Alas, this news shocked Larissa.The expression on her face froze. Her body stiffened when she heard Kevan's words. To Larissa, Kevan, who had lost his memories, might appear to be the same person as Kevan from before. Alas, he was still quite different. He didn't have the unpleasant memories of their past together, nor was he as sarcastic and harsh as before. Their improved relationship right now was based on the foundation that she didn't feel embarrassed about herself in front of him anymore. Things would be different if he regained his previous memories. She could forgive Kevan in his current state. Alas, she couldn't let go of the pain that he had caused her in the past. As her guard went up, Kevan could see the change in her eyes which had turned cold with suspicion. His heart ached. It was as if it was p

They returned to the hospital ward. The vibe between them was very different from before. Kevan had regained some of his past memories. So, Larissa didn't know how to act around him. He was eager to talk about their past. Yet she couldn't muster up the courage to do so. That was the topic she wanted to avoid the most. Covering her mouth, Larissa pretended to yawn. "I'm feeling a bit tired. You can go about your business while I take a nap." She got into bed and pulled the covers up to her chin. Kevan knew that it was an excuse. So, he didn't want to trouble her further. He went along with her and replied, "Alright, get a good rest." Kevan came to Westonia for two purposes. First to visit Larissa and second to discuss how to deal with Cody with Gary. The latter issue was completely resolved the day before. Thus, the reason he stayed back was to spend more time with Larissa, hoping that it would alleviate his feelings of loneliness while they were apart. Still, it seemed as

The security guards told Dylan that the couple came to look for their daughter-in-law. They mentioned that her name was Larissa Seymour. However, the apartment complex had tight security measures. Even if Larissa's name was on the resident's list, the security guards couldn't let them in. The guard had informed them that they had to either wait for their daughter-in-law to come and pick them up or have her call the security office. After receiving her call, only then could they enter the apartment complex. Travis' parents refused both options. They insisted on kicking up a fuss at the entrance of the apartment complex. In the end, the security guards had to call the police to take them away. Hearing this, Kevan furrowed his brows. After the Hardy family took the one million dollars from Yvette, they returned to their hometown. No one had heard anything from them since. Kevan didn't bother wasting his time to follow up on them as they didn't stir up any trouble. Who could

Kevan's plane touched down at Bartham early in the morning. He had notified his assistant before getting on the plane. Thus, a car was waiting for Kevan to pick him up. Despite the long flight, Kevan didn't seem tired at all. He went home and got changed. After that, he headed straight to the company without needing any time to get used to the time difference. Yesterday, Kevan had gone through most of his work that had piled up. While driving, Kevan's assistant suggested, "Mr. Rogers, you don't need to rush back to the office. You should take some time off to rest at home instead …"With a frown, Kevan waved his hand to dismiss his assistant, who fell silent with a look of concern on his face. Kevan checked his emails on his phone, browsing through the unread messages that he missed during the flight. He continued receiving updates about Lana's situation. Since Yvette's hospital ward was not a single room, Lana could only sit on the bedside chair for a moment. Sometimes,

Kevan was afraid. He seemed to be more anxious after reuniting with Larissa. Kevan could guess the reason why the Hardy family was looking for Larissa. It was because of money. After their abuse, Kevan knew that Larissa would not accept the Hardy family's demands. Still, they might use Travis' death as a ploy to soften Larissa's heart. Kevan didn't know everything about Larissa. Still, he knew a lot about her. They had been together for so many years, after all. Despite her sharp tongue and stubborn personality, she would relent if one persisted. Kevan only liked it when Larissa relented for him. Kevan narrowed his eyes. Since Travis was dead, he had to disappear from this world. He could not be a hindrance to Larissa ever again. A thick stack of documents slid out of the paper bag. They plopped on his office desk. At first glance, Kevan's eyes fell on a photo attached to a resume on the first page. Earlier, his subordinate had given him information on the member

The Hardy family had no money, power, or connections. They enjoyed a short period of popularity within their community from having two successful sons. Many close and distant relatives came knocking on their door with gifts to ask for favors. Some of them requested that Travis find a job for their children in Covenford. And some of them requested to borrow large sums of money. Dick and Janine were snobs who cared about their reputation. But they loved money even more. Those who came to borrow money were sent away with various excuses. As for those who came to ask for jobs, Travis was forced to fulfill each of their requests. This was because they didn't need to spend a cent to receive admiration from their relatives. Larissa was not spared as well. She was also forced to use her connections at work to land jobs at the Regal Dynasty Hotel for the Hardy family's relatives. Still, people were pragmatic. They saw that Andrew had returned to his hometown and started living off
