The disgusting smell of perfume made Kevan frown. He pushed her away coldly and said, "Get lost!"The others were busy bringing the girls into their lap, so the big commotion with Kevan scared them so much that they all became quiet.The boss froze for a moment. Then he seemed to realize something because he hit his forehead with a laugh and said, "Haha, look at my forgetfulness!"He got the girl to leave, and he summoned the server. He pointed at Kevan and said something quietly to the server. The server nodded several times before leaving the room."Don't mind it, Mr. Rogers." The boss apologized again rather sincerely.Kevan replied half-heartedly, "It's fine."A few moments later, the private room doors opened again. The server led in a tall and thin young man inside. The man seemed to be in his twenties, and he was wearing a cheap, colorful suit. The man had makeup on his face, and he looked somewhat oily.He raced toward Kevan and did what the girl from before did.Kevan

Kevan's home was only a few minutes' drive away from Winston Hotel. He dragged things out on the road for a bit because he was feeling nervous. He only drove into Winston Hotel's parking lot after feeling less nervous. However, when he entered the hotel lobby, his heart was pounding.Sticking his hands in his pockets, Kevan rejected the lobby manager's friendly greeting, waiting by himself on the sofa reserved for guests to rest. He picked a spot that gave him the best view. He could see all guests that came out of the elevators and escalators from his angle.Playing the waiting game was not the easiest thing in the world, especially for Kevan as he was now. His hands were already sweating, and the muscles of his crossed legs were so taut beneath his trousers that one could see them through the fabric.As time passed, more people began to come downstairs.Every time the elevator stopped on the first floor, Kevan would straighten up to carefully identify each person. He did not even

But Larissa was insistent. Yvette was her biological mother, after all. Even if she still hated Yvette, she could not allow her to just keep lying down here in the morgue with no one to take care of her funeral."We're here now." Larissa walked fast. "Let's finish this as soon as we can and leave." Her teeth were chattering from the cold. When she spoke, one could hear the sounds of her teeth chattering.Lewis sighed to himself on the inside but followed after her quickly.They had called the hospital to make an appointment, so there was someone waiting at the door to the morgue."Are you Yvette's family?" The young man in a doctor's outfit did not look happy. No one knew if it was because he had been waiting for a long time or if it was because working in a place like this was sure to affect his mood. His voice was also clearly annoyed."Yes!" Larissa replied very politely. She even smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting.""Oh, I wasn't kept waiting." The you

The act of unbuttoning was very difficult for her weak fingers, especially when she was holding the thermometer with one hand. Doing so with just one hand was very difficult. She tried several times, but the button seemed to be fighting with her. No matter what she did, the button refused to go through the hole.A few minutes later, Kevan could not stand the look on her face as she was on the verge of a breakdown. He bent down to unbutton her nightgown for her as fast as he could before quickly turning around. He stuck his hands in his pockets and stood there stiffly."Tell me when you're done. I'll help you check the time."Larissa's instincts were not sharp right now, but when his cold fingers brushed past her burning chest, it still made her body and heart shiver. Her temperature seemed to have risen up again, and she quickly looked away and focused on the thermometer.Five minutes passed, and Kevan soon had the thermometer in his hand. He studied the instrument carefully under

"Thank you." Larissa's voice finally stopped sounding like a torn piece of paper, but it was still hoarse and ugly."... You're welcome." Kevan gazed at the now empty glass and removed his arm from her back. "I'll pour more water."Larissa clearly hated any physical contact with him. She clearly froze up because of his arm around her earlier. But when he removed his arm, her heart felt somewhat empty.She looked down, putting away all emotions she should not be having, and she muttered, "No need."Kevan froze.Larissa's quiet voice sounded behind him. "Where's Milly?" Milly was the nurse who was waiting outside.Kevan bit his lip and answered honestly, "She's resting in the living room.""Tell her to come in." Larissa clenched at the corner of the blanket, her head bowed very low. "She will help keep an eye on the drip. You can go back!"Although she did not like to trouble others, she would rather choose Milly over Kevan. There was no other reason—being with Milly would not be
