All Chapters of Sweet Subterfuge: Chapter 371 - Chapter 380

Time passed quickly, and it was already half a month later. Larissa had recovered from her leg injury and returned to work at the hotel. Edmund would visit her office every day, finding seemingly legitimate excuses, but everyone on the top floor could see the difference in his treatment of her.Rumors started spreading throughout the hotel, but she pretended to be oblivious. She bought a simple wedding ring and wore it on her finger, indicating her married status. Nonetheless, her plan to divorce Kevan had not materialized. Since that day after she'd made her strong statement, Kevan never brought up the topic of divorce again, and she had been enduring it to save face.Meanwhile, Kevan's relationship with Ruby became more public. He started taking her to various formal and informal social events. In order to spend more time with her, he even gave her a fictitious secretarial position. The only limit he set was not spending the night with her, and the Rogers family was aware of these ar

Larissa's eyelids had been twitching since she woke up in the morning on the day of Cody and Lana's wedding. She felt a sense of unease, as if something was about to happen. It was to the extent that she made two mistakes while absentmindedly filling out a report, leading to a scolding from the deputy general manager who was temporarily handling the hotel affairs in place of Edmund.The wedding officially started at 11 am. So, she sneakily scrolled through Twitter for a while. There were blurry photos taken by undercover journalists on the Internet, capturing the silhouettes of the bride and groom. After about half an hour, her phone suddenly rang. It was Dylan.Dylan rarely called her during work hours, so she was startled, and her heart started beating faster involuntarily. When she answered the call, her hands trembled. But before she could even speak, she heard Dylan urgently say, "Something happened to Kevan!"Her mind went blank in that instant, and she didn't know how long it to

Larissa couldn't accept this reality. Despite Kevan's numerous flaws, she had always viewed him as a formidable, powerful, and invincible figure. The idea that he would one day lie weak and helpless on a hospital bed, barely clinging to life with injected nutrients, was unimaginable to her.She reached out and touched his large, bony hand. Despite the perpetual summer on the island, his hand remained as cold as ever, causing her heart to ache.After struggling to hold back her tears for a long time, she finally let them flow and fell onto the snowy white sheets, leaving dark stains behind. However, she bit her lip to stifle any sound, afraid that her crying might disturb him. Dylan, who stood at the door, caught a glimpse of the figure huddled by the edge of the hospital bed, trembling uncontrollably. He silently withdrew his hand from the doorknob....Due to the language barrier, the police couldn't gather much information from the shooter, despite capturing him. The details provided

Larissa's sleep quality improved significantly. Nearly every night, around 11 pm, she would begin to feel drowsy, and within a couple of minutes of closing her eyes, she would fall into a deep, dreamless slumber. She would wake up to the warm glow of daylight, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.Yet, there were moments when she experienced an odd soreness in her body. At first, she suspected that someone might have violated her while she was unconscious. However, with Kevan's bodyguards stationed outside the ward and Kevan himself in a vegetative state, such an assumption couldn't hold true. She could only attribute it to her own exhaustion and desire. After all, she was approaching her thirties.…Once Kevan's condition stabilized to some extent, Larissa returned to work at the hotel. On her first day back, Edmund paid her a visit, but this time he didn't approach her forcefully. Instead, he inquired about Kevan's condition."My brother and I are genuinely concerned about Kevan. The si

Dylan stood there, stunned. His mouth was slightly agape, and his pupils involuntarily dilated. "What ... did you say?" He finally managed to find his voice after some time. His gaze slowly shifted down from Ruby's face and landed on her still imperceptible small belly. Ruby placed her hand on her stomach and drew two circles. "I'm pregnant with Kevan's child," she said proudly. Dylan couldn't believe it. Kevan would never have been intimate with her."Ms. Cole, you shouldn't be coming to the hospital since you're pregnant. There are many viruses and bacteria here, and pregnant women have weaker immune systems. It would be troublesome if you fell ill." His immediate thought was to persuade Ruby to go back and avoid any encounter with Larissa.Larissa's reaction would be different from his. If she found out that Ruby was pregnant, she would undoubtedly assume the child belonged to Kevan. And it would be too late by the time Kevan woke up. But the more he feared something, the more it
