Feeling as if she was sleeping right next to a raging fireplace, Larissa couldn't sleep well the entire night. Kevan stopped having nightmares, but he breathed a little heavily—maybe he had a stuffy nose. It rained on the mountain that night, but it wasn't heavy. The raindrops pattered against the transparent glass ceiling, and Larissa couldn't sleep from the noise.She stared up at the sky absent-mindedly. The stars were obscured by the rain and she could only see their faint light. Later on, the rain turned to snow. The glass slowly became covered up with a sheet of white until not a single glint of light could shine through. Enveloped in darkness, Larissa lost track of time. By the time Kevan woke up and she was finally freed, it was already 9 am. Kevan was slightly confused when the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Larissa's face. He stared at her blankly. However, Larissa acted as if nothing had happened and pushed his arms away calmly. She took the thermometer fr

Kevan ended up going with her. During the cable car ride down the mountain, Larissa was not in the mood to think about how Kevan had conjured up the money for the ticket, nor was she in the mood to appreciate the majestic and magnificent scenery surrounding her. All she cared about was …"You haven't eaten anything for a whole day. Can you take it? It's so windy on the mountain, but you're wearing very few layers. What if your fever comes back? You haven't fully recovered, so you're still weak. How are you going to drive later? How about you take the cable car back up again later? Go back to the hotel and eat, then take the whole day to rest … " "That's enough!" Kevan couldn't take it any longer and cut her off. "I know my own body." He liked her nagging and muttering, as well as her care and sweet voice, but not when she was trying to chase him away. He crossed his arms and leaned against the corner of the cable car. He shut his eyes as if he didn't want to listen to her. Larissa

Wiping the smile off his face, Officer Sanders flipped through the files in front of him. "It's like this," he cleared his throat and began, "We are investigating the reason behind Travis' suicide. We know that you are his wife, and we are quite aware of the situation between you two, so you don't have to explain too much. However, since you would know him better than anybody else, I wanted to ask if Travis ever mentioned having any suicidal thoughts to you. Did he complain about anything to you? Did you notice any changes in his mood?""I'm sorry." Larissa couldn't answer any of his questions. "We have been separated for quite some time now. I only saw him once when he had an accident and was admitted to the hospital. There has been no contact between us since.""I see." Officer Sanders raised an eyebrow and made a note of it. "His family believes that the content of your livestreams provoked him and drove him to take his own life. Do you have anything to say about that?" He lifte

Dylan immediately called Kevan. The call went through, but no one answered the phone. In a state of panic, Dylan didn't have time to wait for Larissa, who was following behind him. He ran to the nurses' station in a hurry. A missing patient was a big deal in any hospital. In addition, everyone was still reeling from the recent suicide case. All the nurses had left to search for Kevan, leaving only one nurse on duty at the nurses' station. At Dylan's request, the nurse made an announcement over the loudspeaker, "Mr. Rogers, your friend is waiting for you in the ward. Please return as soon as possible when you hear this announcement!" In a daze, Larissa realized the gravity of the situation."Should we check the surveillance footage?" she asked Dylan."Let's wait a bit," Dylan replied without looking up as he fiddled with something on his phone."Go to the ward and wait for Kevan," he added. "So that if he comes back, someone is there waiting for him." Larissa followed Dylan

An elegant, middle-aged lady walked in. The instant the door was closed, her face twisted into a ferocious expression of anger and hatred. Long-forgotten memories flooded Larissa's mind like a tidal wave, causing her eyes to widen in fear.A heavy slap landed on Larissa's face, making a loud cracking sound. Although the force of the slap wasn't as strong as she remembered it, Larissa could still feel the burning pain on her cheek. "Are you proud of bringing shame upon your whole family? After all these years, you are still being a troublemaker and robbing me of my peace! Can't you learn from your sister?" Larissa was reminded of the familiar barrage of criticism that bombarded her. There were barely any changes in the script. Out of reflex, Larissa was about to apologize, but she managed to stop herself in time. She was no longer the helpless young girl who had to depend on the charity of others and constantly needed to cater to their wishes. Now that she was an adult,
