Chapter 304


    Jay’s suicide made headlines in the media, and news of him kidnapping Larissa gradually seread.


    Larissa was once again famous for the wrong reasons, which troubled her to no end.


    What irked her even more were the constant messages of condolences.


    She kept receiving phone calls of concern from friends and former colleagues around her


    Even Violet came to the hospital to visit her,


    The whole time, she early admonished Larissa with advice on recuperating and left a thermos of hot


    soup for her.


    Just as she left. Edmund arrived.

    He strode into her ward with arge bouquet of champagne roses.


    “Lar” Edmund called out affectionately, his eyes filled with concem. “Are you seriously injured?”


    Larissa fell a headacheing on.


    “Tm line,’ she replied indifferently, trying to create some distance between them.


    “What do you mean, line? Edmund sized her up. “Look at your face, it’s all bruised! And your leg is in a


    cast!”


    He continued his rant angrily, “Luckily, Jay is dead. Otherwise, I would have killed him for what he did


    to you?


    Larissa thought that perhaps instant death was truly the best oue for Jay.


    Edmund put the roses on the bedside table andined bitterly. “What kind of lousy hospital is


    this? They don’t even have vases in their wards!”


    “Mr. Rogers, this is a hospital not a hotel Larissa reminded him.


    She was here to recuperate, not for leisure.


    Giving her the side eye. Edmund made a phone call “Hey, go buy a vase and bring it up to me!”


    He turned to Larissa triumphantly. “See all done!”


    Larissa rolled her eyes, at a loss for words.


    Being filthy rich really spoilt him rotten as he was allowed to do whatever he desired.


    Edmund pulled up a chair next to her bed and sat down.


    He asked knowingly. “Since you’re so badly injured, why isn’t Revan here to apany “you?”


    Larissa made up an excuse casually, “He’s busy with work”


    Edmund insisted. “But I heard that when you were kidnapped yesterday, he didn’t even show up at the


    scene to save you.”


    He’d clearly obtained some inside information.


    “The kidnapper clearly demanded Kevan to save you personally. Why did his assistant turn up in the


    end?”


    Using the same excuse. Larissa repeated, “1 said, he’s budy with work.”


    “This incident is not something you should dismiss so easily just because he is busy with work!


    Edmund sald stemly, “Luckily, nothing unfortunate happened to you. But what if the kidnapper had


    thrown you off the rooftop because he failed to tum up? is his work more Important than your safety?”


    Larissa really wished she could see Edmund’s mouth shut with a needle and thread.


    That way, he wouldn’t be able to say any more stinging remarks that she didn’t want to hear.


    Maybe didn’t foresee that things would escte to that level” Larissa prebended to be nonchnt.


    “It doesn’t matter if everything turns out well”


    *That’s uneptable! Edmund grabbed her hand and asked her earnestly. “Lar, cross your heart and


    tell me honestly. When Kewan didn’t rush to your rescue yesterday, weren’t you hurt about that? Don’t


    you care?” She cared.


    In fact she cared too much,


    But she couldn’t admit t


    Furthermore, she certainly shouldn’t admit this to Edmund


    “Well at least he sent his assistant Larissa delended Kevan.


    Edmund snorte coldly. “Stop deceiving yoursel


    Larissa cursed her Ips and stared at the television screen, refusing to have any eye contact with


    Edmund.


    It was clear that she didn’t want to have anything more to do with Edmund, but he just wouldn’t leave


    her alone.


    Edmund continued taking “Let me tell you cha more thing. Last night. Cody and Ruby had a huge light.


    Do you want to guess what it was about?”
