Keegan always felt that Larry was a bit too concerned about Stella.

Getting reassigned and having a pay cut when you're already strapped for cash would make most people resentful.

But not only did Larry not complain, he even gave Stella a drawing by his own son, which was quite unusual.

However, the background check Keegan did on Larry showed nothing suspicious.

In fact, Larry's life could be described as quite unfortunate.

Larry's son wasn't born deaf.

He lost his hearing due to a kidnapping incident.

Mistaken for a wealthy family's child, the kidnappers demanded a ransom, but the wealthy family refused to pay.

The police, fearing the kidnappers might harm the child, didn't inform them they had the wrong kid.

When the kidnappers realized the ransom wasn't coming, they abandoned the child and fled.
