Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 563

Probably because she had eaten something and her throat was moistened, her voice sounded less hoarse than before.

However, she still felt a little breathless, so she had to take longer pauses between her words.

"Your phone was turned off, so he couldn't reach you. He was so worried that he was almost in tears."

In fact, Aster had already burst into tears. During their phone call, he was sobbing so hard that he couldn't speak clearly. He kept repeating, "Uncle Kevan, does my mommy not want me anymore?"

Larissa had sent him back to Aldovia with such resolution, and now she seemed to be completely cutting off contact with him.

It wasn't surprising that a sensitive and vulnerable child like him would have such thoughts.

Naturally, Kevan wouldn't tell the truth to Larissa.

"He's very worried about you. He kept asking if I knew where you were and what you were doing."

Feeling sorry for Aster, Larissa couldn't help the tears that welled up in her eyes, almost spilling over.

She gritted her teeth and blinked her tears away. "How did you respond to him?"

"I told him that you went abroad on a business trip and would be away for some time."

Larissa's anxious heart was slightly reassured at his words.

"Thank you," she said with sincerity.

Smiling gently at Larissa, Kevan said affectionately, "There's no need to be so formal with me."

Larissa's heart fluttered in her chest inexplicably.

Flustered, she quickly averted her gaze, trying to conceal her nervousness and racing heart.

She kept reminding herself to not fall into the same trap again.

Gary muttered in disapproval as he stared at the closed door, "Fat chance! No one's going to meet you tomorrow!"

Sensing Larissa's gaze on him, he immediately put on a kind smile and asked her with concern, "Lari, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"

Lewis put on a straight face and turned around, covering his eyes in embarrassment.

"I'm not tired." Larissa had been unconscious for almost thirty hours. At this moment, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

There was something she needed to clarify. "Do you know who hit me?"

The car accident was obviously intentional. However, everything happened so quickly, so she did not have the chance to see the driver's face clearly.

Nonetheless, she could guess who it was.

Seeing the troubled expression on Gary's face, she became even more certain.
