Chapter 176


    Chapter 176


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


    loot of Larissa’s bed, upying 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. ording 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?”


    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 reced 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 somemotion from the opposite side. I secretly looked through the peephole and


    saw his wife carrying severalrge 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 oue. “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 inst night, Kevan hadn’t mentioned a word to her, so she had no idea how


    much her treatment cost.Original from N?velDrama.Org.
