Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 669
“Thank you.” Larissa’s voice finally stopped sounding like a torn plece of paper, but it was still hoarse and ugly.
*... You’re welcome.” Kevan gazed at the now empty glass and removed his arm from her back. “I’ll pour more water.”
Larissa clearly hated any physical contact with him. She clearly Iroze up because of his arm around her earlier. But when he
removed his arm, her heart felt somewhat empty.
She looked down, putting away all emotions she should not be having, and she muttered, “No need.”
Kevan froze.
Larissa’s quiet voice sounded behind him. “Where’s Milly?” Milly was the nurse who was waiting outside.
Kevan bit his lip and answered honestly. “She’s resting in the living room.”
“Tell her to come in.” Larissa clenched at the corner of the blanket, her head bowed very low. “She will help keep an eye on the
drip. You can go back!”
Although she did not like to trouble others, she would rather choose Milly over Kevan. There was no other reason–being with
Milly would not be awkward, at least, and it would not cause her heart to be at an abnormal rate.
Larissa was worried that with the way her heart was beating, she would have some kind of new illness after her lever was gone.
Kevan’s nails dug very hard into his palm, only then did he manage to control the ruthless anger he felt. He kept reminding
himsell that she was a sick person now and forced down the urge to just lay out his cards to Larissa.
He silently brought the glass with him outside.
Two minutes later. Milly entered the room. Upon seeing her face, Larissa was stunned for a couple of seconds. Soon, she
relaxed–but at the same time, she felt strangely upset.
“Hi! You’re up?” Milly’s smile was nice. “Do you still want water?” She showed the ful glass in her hand–the same glass that
Kevan had
taken with him earlier.

“No.” Larissa shook her head.
Willy frowned when she heard that. She nagged her. “Well you need to drink lots of water when you’re having a fever! Think
about it, you
sweated so much
Larissa ignored everything she said but hummed in agreement hall–heartedly at all the right places.
Milly changed the IV bottle for her. She also changed the subject. “I just heard that a former colleague from the hospital has been
fired
today.”
Larissa keenly sensed that Milly was observing her while she talked about all this. It was like Milly was trying to see her reaction.
“Why?” She picked up the conversation and waited for Milly to continue.
“I heard that he offended someone.” Milly’s gaze became distant suddenly, and her guilt was rather obvious. “He’s actually a
pretty good guy, and he normally doesn’t talk to other people when working at the morgue
The moment Larissa heard the word “morgue,” a lace appeared in her mind. Urged on by the idea, Larissa asked, “When did this
happen?”
“This afternoon,” Milly said, “I just saw that everyone was taking about this in my former work group chat They think it was pretty
sudden.
“Can you bring me my phone? I’d like to call my cousin,” Larissa said.
Milly gave her the phone at once. “I let you call in peace. Just shout for me when you’re done,”
Lewis was probably still in his event. When the call connected, Larissa could hear the noise in the background. But soon, those
noises disappeared.
“Do you feel better?” Lewis asked at once. “Do you need me to come back now?”
“No need.” Larissa quickly stopped him. “I just want to ask you something.”
