Of course. Wendy knew that she wasnât Kevanâs lancée.
Still, Kevanâs fiancée. When had Edmund ever kidnapped Larissa before?
This unexpected news left Wendy stunned at the spot.
âWait a moment, let me call my friend.â
After recovering from the shock, she took out her phone with trembling hands.
The officer gestured for her to go ahead.
Wendy stumbled out of the office and found a quiet spot in the corridor,
Leaning against the wall she dialed Larissaâs number.
âWendy? Are you done with your check-up?â Larissaâs voice was heard at the other end of the call
âNot yet.â Wendyâs throat tightened up.
She wanted to demand an explanation from Larissa about the situation.
Still, Wendy hesitated when she remembered what Edmund had said to her at the hospital.
It wasnât that she didnât believe the years of friendship between her and Larissa. She did not doubt Kevanâs character either.
Still it was public knowledge that the Rogers family were at odds with each other.
Reports on the media back in Caldor were aligned with what Edmund had said.
Moreover, she had heard about Kevanâs cruel methods in the business world.
He was known to eliminate his rivalls without mercy.
Given the current situation, there was no doubt that Larissa would be on his side.
Even if she pressed Larissa for an answer, Larissa would only give her the same reply as the police officer had.
Seeing as Wendy remained silent, Larissa grew anxious.
âWhatâs wrong? Where are you right now? I come to find your
âIâm fine! Iâm just a little scared,â Wendy assured her before continuing, âLari What if I said that I donât want to abort this child?â
Larissaâs heart sank.
Alarm bells were ringing in her head. âWhy?â
She tried to keep her voice calm as she didnât want to add any pressure on Wendy.
âIâve been carrying him for so long.â Wendy lowered her head and stared at her feet.
She was trying to come up with an excuse that Larissa would accept
âAlthough Edmund is a sc umbag, I canât bear to part with my baby, Besides, didnât you also give birth to Aster even when you thought that his father violated you?â
Larissa never thought that Wendy would bring this up.
Still, Wendyâs reasoning was sound, Larissa couldnât think of a good rebuttal
Although Larissa was reluctant, she relented, âIf you really want to have the child, then keep it.â
Since Wendy had supported her in the past, she would do the same for Wendy now. She would stand by her and support every decision
she made.
âIâll be your childâs godmother and help you raise him.â
Even though Wendy had learned everything, she couldnât blame Larissa, let alone hale her.
She liked Edmund, but Larissa had been her best frend for over a decade.
They relied on each other and supported each other through the darkest times of their lives.
âI want to talk to you. Just the both of us. Come over now and donât tell Mr. Rogers.â Werdy sent her an address.
Kevan had heard Larissa taking the call. To avoid invading her privacy. Kevan kept his distance.
When he saw her staring blankly at the emply phone screen, he couldnât contain his curiosity,
âWas it Werdy? Did she go to the doctor?â
Larissa was startled when he suddenly came close, almost dropping the phone from her hands.
âYes, she did.â Larissa rested her hand on her chest to calm her racing heart,
She didnât want Kevan to see through her lies. So, she tumed her face in another direction. âWendy said that s
I she was scared and wanted me to accompany her.â
As Larissa spoke, she got up and went to the bedroom, Ineed to get changed.â
Kevan followed behind her. âIâll come with you.â
Larissa stepped in her tracks and turned around to glare at him.
