Chapter 890
Larissa dialed Kevan’s number.
The phone rang for what felt like ages. Kevan finally answered it just before it could disconnect.
“Hey, Lad?” Kevar seemed to intentionally lower his voice. “Are you up?”
It was eerily quiet on the other end of the fire, making it impossible for Larissa to pinpoint his current location.
“Yeah,” she responded. “Where are you?”
He hesitated for a moment before replying. Me? Well I’m at the hospital”
Larissa immediately sprang up from the couch. “What happened?”
“It’s not me,” Kevan paused briefly. His voice became solter as he continued, “It’s Wendy.”

“Wendy?’ Larissa rushed into the room, not realizing her knee had collided with the coffee table, causing her to wince in pain. But even
then, nothing could stop her.
“Which hospital are you at? I’m on my way!” she exclaimed.
“Don’t-” Kevan interjected. “Wendy is asleep, and she won’t wake up for a while. I’ll head back home soon. We can go visit her together
tomorrow.”
“Ah…” Larisse sighed, hanging the clothes she had taken out back up. “Well just make sure you stay sale on your way back.”
an hour later, Kevan returned. He even brought her some takeout from McRonald’s.
The smell al Iried lood kept watting out of the paper bag. But Larissa lost her appetite despite growling with hunger.
“What’s going on with Wendy?” She held onto Kevan’s hand her worried expression was evident.
“You should eat first.” Kevan handed her the bag of food. ‘Till you in later.”
Larissa took a bite of the burger as if she was merely going through the motions. But before she could swallow, impatience got the better
of her. “Come on, tell me!”
“I went to see her this afternoon and showed her some evidence,” he began from the start, trying to create some space for the revelation.
“So? What’s the connection between that and her being in the hospital?” She wasn’t interested in hearing any nonsense.
“Later, I planned to take her home, but she accidentaly slipped and fell when she tried to avoid me. She lost the baby.” His expression was solemn, and his tone was filled with quill.
She lost her grip on the burger, causing it to fall to the floor. “Wha-what? Say that again… What happened to Wendy?”
She couldn’t believe her ears. Tears welled in her eyes, teetering on the edge of falling.
