Chapter 590
Sweet Subterfuge
As Bartham was the leading city out of all the major cities, all transport Unes and power were swiftly restored after the storm. It was only around 8 am when Gary rushed over to the hospital with Lewis in tow, yanking Kevan-who was still asleep in the chair-up and chasing him out, âMr. Rogers, you can go now.â
Kevan had slept for less than two hours, and he could barely keep his eyes open. But his back straightened up out of habit as he sat back dazedly in the chair, which made him look kind of cute.
Larissa could not bear it and told Gary, âLet him sleep for a little while longer.â
Her plea only caused the jealousy in Garyâs heart to bum hotter. But he could not say any words of denial to her, so he could only compromise. âIsnât the ward next door empty? Let the nurse know that he will be going over there to sleep. To show his âconsideration,â Gary added. âSo that we wonât disturb him here.â
His suggestion was fairly reliable to Larissa. The wards on their floor were all VIP wards and the cost of staying in one was fairly expensive. When regular wards are not filled up, almost no one would stay in a VIP ward, so the idea of using up resources unnecessarily was unfounded.
However, before she could agree, Kevan woke up completely. âNo need.â His bleary eyes gradually became clear, and he rose up from the chair. Til head right back,â
The clothes he was wearing yesterday had been sent to the laundry room by Mrs. Griffin, and they had been cleaned, dried, and returned. The hospitalâs laundry room was not as professional as laundromats cutside though, and Mrs. Griffin had not paid much attention to it. So, the custom tailor-made shirt had a few creases on it, making it look crumpled. Kevan frowned.
Knowing his temperament, Larissa was afraid that he might get angry at Mrs. Griffin, so she hurriedly found an excuse to get Mrs. Griffin out of the ward. Mrs. Griffin rubbed her hands and prepared to leave when Kevan stopped her.
âMrs. Griffin.â His expression was mild, and there was a faint smile on his lips, his voice surprisingly humble, âThank you for your hard work.â
A little flattered, Mrs. Griffin quickly waved her hand, stammering. âN-No worries! Not at all?
Kevan brought his clothes with him into the bathroom to get changed. When he came out in the same getup from yesterday, the bedraggled mess that was him yesterday no longer existed. He exuded an elegant air that could not be deterred by the wrinkled shirt.
Larissaâs eyes brightened, and Garyâs expression grew more and more sour. He could bother to be graceful any longer and waved his hand Imitably, âShool Get out now, Go!â
Kevan heeded him, bidding Larissa goodbye before he left. âSee you tonight.â
Gary exploded at once. âWhy is he still coming over tonight? What for?â
His reaction amused Larissa so much that she was not sure if she should laugh or cry. âHe wants to call Aster, and I want to listen,â she explained.
Gary had long known about his grandson but was unable to meet him officially in person. âWhen are you going to introduce me to Aster?â he grumbled sourly, clearly filled with jealousy.
Having spent time with Gary during these few days, Larissa had long since seen the true lace he hid behind a mild-mannered mask-petty. a grudge holder, and a person with a penchant for sulking.
Seeing that his emotions were off, she immediately promised him. âOnce Iâve recovered fully. I let you both meet.â
Only then did Gary let her off the h ook, but he still minded a bit about Kevan, âSo, he will be coming every night then? Upon receiving Larissaâs affirmative answer, his expression darkened so much that one would think his face was a thundercloud, but he could not explode.
âI must be here when he comes.â he emphasized strongly.
Larissa agreed helplessly. âOkay, okay, okay!â
