Larissa needed a person who could remain neutral and objectively analyze the pros and cons of each choice for her. The only person she could think of who had no connection to Kevan and had a wealth of life experience was Gary.
Due to the family sports day, the kindergarten started an hour later than usual.
When Kevan told Larissa to head to work as he would take Aster to the kindergarten, Larissa hesitated for a moment.
Noticing that, Kevan smirked and said, "I'll leave after dropping him off at the kindergarten."
Larissa was taken aback, feeling a sudden pang of guilt.
"Alright, thank you," she replied, forcing a smile as she lowered her head.
Instead of going to the hotel, Larissa went to the hospital. Gary would be discharged that day, and it was only right for her to go and pick him up.
Since Gary had woken up early, he had already dressed up and packed all his clothes and belongings into a suitcase by the time Larissa arrived.
"Why did you come so early?" Gary stood up quickly upon seeing Larissa, a smile playing on his lips.
Larissa had told him yesterday that she would come, and he had been waiting for her.
He thought she would be delayed by dropping off her child at school and checking out of the hotel, but she arrived a few hours earlier than he expected.
"I ran into a little trouble and wanted to come earlier to talk to you," Larissa replied, smiling awkwardly.
Gary turned solemn. "What kind of trouble? Is it serious?"
Larissa knew he had misunderstood and quickly waved her hand, "It's not the kind of trouble you're thinking of! I'm just a bit confused about my own life plans, and I was hoping you could give me some advice."
Gary visibly relaxed, "Oh I see! Sure, go ahead."
He straightened his back and leaned back against the headboard.
