Sweet Subterfuge

Dylan’s phone call only came after Kevan had reached the bottom floor of the hotel. “I’m already out.” Kevan waved off the lobby
manager and walked straight out of the hotel before getting into his car.
“So soon?” Dylan was a little surprised but figured it out after a moment’s thought. Those vampires tried to create trouble for you
again?”
Although Kevan did not like those two families, he never started anything on his end. He only ever retaliated because the two
Rogers branch families kept provoking him on purpose. Not warting to dwell on this subject further, Kevan asked Dylan, “How’re
things with you?”
Dylan glanced at the ward door that was firmly shul next door before lowering his voice. “Something did happen.”
Kevan’s nerves were pulled taut at once as he slammed the gas pedal all the way down. The black Maserati shot out like an
arrow loose from a bow as it raced away through the night.
It normally took 45 minutes to get to Victory General Hospital from Regal Dynasty by car. Kevan forcibly shortened halved that
time. He raced all the way from the parking lot to the surgical building. When the elevator reached the orthopedic department, he
lock wide steps and rushed over to Larissa’s ward in the shortest time possible.
When he opened the door, he could hear laughter from within. Kevan subconsciously paused in his footsteps.
Dylan saw him first. “Kevan!
Everyone else turned to the door. Kevan smiled and walked right in.
Larissa was very surprised to see him. “Didn’t you go to altend your Uncle Bernard’s birthday?”
“I got into a bit of conflict with them, so I left first. Kevan did not avoid mentioning these things to her.
“Have you eaten, then? Do we need to order takeout for you?”
Larissa’s concern softened the frown on Kevan’s face as well as calming the agitation he felt. However, before he could speak,
Gary cul him off. “He’s an adult, he can’t have not eaten when hungry.”
“Dad-“Larissa was very resigned. “Can’t you just be nicer to him?”
Gary just glared at Kevan before harrumphing coldy and looking away.

“Uncle Gary’s right.” Kevan pulled a chair over to sit near the head of the bed, his smile growing. ‘I’m an adult, and I do indeed
know that i
should eat when I’m hungry.”
Larissa saw Dylan opening and closing his mouth, and she was struck with an idea. Rubbing her stomach, she looked at Lewis
and said.” I’m hungry. Lewis. I want some pancakes.”
The Logans had always given Larissa whatever she wanted. The moment Larissa asked, Lewis Immediately picked up his
phone. Gary threw out an idea too. “The butter pancakes we had last time weren’t bad.”
“Okay.” Lew’s prepared to order.
Larissa raised two fingers and said with an ingratiating smile, “Lewis, I want two portions.”
Lewis was not dumb, and he knew exactly what she was after. He eyed Gary carefully out of the corner of his eye, and only
when his uncle did not protest did he agree to Larissa’s request. “Quay.”
Now that the pleasantries had been observed, Kevan gol down to business. “What happened?”
Dylan did not give many details on the phone, only saying that he would talk about Il after Kevan got here.
Kevan thought that Larissa’s condition had worsened or something and he was very worried on the way here. But now that he
saw her
lying just fine on the bed, he was a little confused and curious,
