Chapter 710
Sweet Subterfuge
After Freddy had achieved his goal, he returned the phone to Allen.
âMy dad wants to speak to you.â
Before Larissa could react, there was another person on the phone.
âLarissaâ
She sighed and answered in her usual tone. âAllen.â
âIâm really sorry. Freddy heard that you had returned to the country, so he insisted on calling you. H In an apologetic tone.
you. Have we disturbed your rest?â Allen sald âNo, you havenât I just arrived at the hospital,â Larissa had always been tolerant of children. Moreover, she was fond of Freddy.
*Hospital? Did something happen? Which hospital are you in? I can come over right now.â
Allen was shocked at her words.
Freddy shouted as well âLarissa, are you ill? Are you in any pain? I want to go too!â
Larissa explained hurriedly, âNo, Iâm not itâs just that my previous injury hadnât recovered fully, so I need to continue my stay at the hospitalâ
Allen breathed a sigh of reliet. âI see. Then about the theme parkââ
âI can go.â
Since Larissa had promised Freddy, she wouldnât break her promise.
âDonât misunderstand me, Iâm not forcing you to bring them there. If your health is a concern, I will talk to Freddy,â Allen explained himself anxiously.
He didnât want her to feel obliged.
âItâs alright. I think I can be discharged by this week,â
Larissa knew her bodyâs condition. Although she couldnât walk as fast as before, she had no problem functioning in her daily tasks.
Besides, she would be joining Blue Star Shipping officially after this week, At that time, even if the doctor insisted on keeping her in the hospital she would have to refuse.
âThank you very much in advance. You know that my job is so busy that I can never find time to bring Freddy out.
Although he has grown up so much, he has never been to the theme park before.â Allen said gratefully, Larissa agreed with his sentiments.
The reason she decided to bring Freddy to the theme park was because she wanted to bring Aster there as well.
She wanted to compensate him for the years she wasnât able to stay by his side.
Whenever she was reminded of Aster, the quilt within her heart surged immediately.
At that moment, Larissa felt the urge to see Aster as soon as possible.
She wanted to kiss him, hug him, and tell him how much she had missed him The lump in her throat brought tears to her eyes.
She had no mood to waste time on Allen.
Wiping the tears from her eyes, she gave an excuse that a nurse had come to check on her and hung up.
The hospital ward was silent, except for the whirring sound of the centralized heating system.
â
Larissa replied nonchalantly. âThank you.â
She sent a WhatsApp message to Wendy. âIs Aster asleep?â
Wendy was probably catching up on work at home.
After a few minutes, she replied, âHeâs fast asleep. He has school tomorrow, so I didnât dare to let him stay up so late.â
Larissa was visibly disappointed. âI see.â
Wendy started a video call and Larissa picked up immediately.
When Wendy saw the hospital equipment behind Larissa, she was shocked. âAre you at the hospital?â
She knew that Larissa had returned to Caldor to settle Yvetteâs funeral matters, She also knew about Larissaâs light back to Aldovia. Still, Wendy assumed that Larissa had completely recovered from her injuries and would return home with Gary to the Logan family.
âI still have to undergo some rehabilitation,â Larissa answered.
âDo you miss Aster? Wendy raised her eyebrows.
âYeah.â Larissa pursed her lips and tried to suppress her sadness.
