Chapter 780 

Larissa did not sleep well. Previously, she was so cold that she was shivering. Alas, now she was so hot that she kept sweating. 

Still, there was a somewhat cold hand that kept holding hers. It gave her strength. 

When she woke up, the house was still dark. She stared at the ceiling for a while before she woke up fully. As usual, she rolled over to get her phone. But a strong grip pulled her back the moment she moved. 

Larissa hissed before getting a good look at what it was. Only then did she notice the dark figure hall–lying on the bed. Even though she could not see the person’s face, she knew it was Kevan, 

He was sleeping with one arm pillowing his head. He was sitting on the floor in a twisted position so that he could stretch out his legs. 

Her heart aching for him, Larissa pushed him using their joined hands. “Wake up!” 

Kevan did not sleep very deeply. He woke up the moment she called him. “You’re awake?” He sat up. His voice was hoarse from sleep. 

Without waiting for Larissa to speak he felt her forehead. 

“Fever seems to be gone.” His voice was much more relaxed as he got up from the floor. “Do you still want to sleep?” he asked. 

Larissa shook her head. “No.” 

Kevan went over to the window and pulled the thick curtain aside a little. The sunlight lit up the bedroom. 

Larissa shielded her eyes, before using her saliva to wet her throat. She asked anxiously, “What time is it? Has Aster gone to school yet?” 

Based on the brightness outside, it must be quite late into the morning already. 

Kevan came back, picked up her phone, and turned the screen on. “It’s almost 10 am. Aster did not go to school. He must be reading in 

the study now.” 

To prevent Larissa from kicking off the blanket, Kevan watched her the whole night. He helped her change the cooling pads twice, so he only ended up falling asleep around 5 am. 

At 8 am, Aster came to find him once. Worried about Larissa’s health, Kevan did not dare to leave Larissa alone at home. So, he called the kindergarten teacher to apply for a one–day leave for Aster. 

“I texted Lewis too. He said to let you rest at home.” The truth was, Lewis‘ first reaction was to come see Larissa at once, but Kevan refused. If Lewis came, Gary would come too. 

If Gary came, Kevan could not stay here. Kevan would never let himself end up in a position like that. 

Larissa’s eyes got used to the brightness. She rubbed her aching temples and said, “Okay.” 

Seeing that the redness on her lace had faded away, Kevan relaxed a little. “Sit for a bit before you get up. I’ll make you breakfast.” 

Alas, Larissa grabbed his right hand the moment he turned around. Her grip was weak, All Kevan needed to do was to bug his hand away and he would break free.
