Chapter 434 Playing Hard to Get
Kevin chuckled with a hint of coldness in his smile. Despite being significantly shorter while sitting
there, his presence was still enough to make Mabel’s heart tremble. “I heard you’ve been inquiring
about me lately,” he said.
Mabel was stunned. It was true that she had been inquiring about him recently, but it was mainly due to
the relationship between Mia and Evelyn. She was worried yet reluctant to ask Evelyn directly and
make her uncomfortable. So she resorted to inquiring. But how could he possibly know…
“Are you curious about how I found out?” Kevin could tell what she was thinking at a glance, and his
eyes showed a teasing look. “This is my hospital.”
In other words, plenty of people would tell him what he
wanted to know.
Mabel felt as if she was being stripped naked and scrutinized. She wanted to explain but stammered
and struggled, not knowing where to begin. She became so flustered that her
face turned red to her neck.
“Mabel, why were you inquiring about me?” With deliberate intent, Kevin continued to press her, as if

“I… I…” Mabel bit her lip and quickly let go. “I didn’t mean to. I just want to know what happened to
Evelyn.”
“That’s why you inquired about me?” Kevin stood up and walked up to her. “You’re interfering in the
private affairs of a leader, understand?”
Feeling guilty and unable to find the words to explain herself, Mabel could only endure his criticism,

Thinking about their previous arguments and the attention she had consciously paid to him during
these days, the emotions buried in her heart suddenly erupted like scorching lava from a volcano,
burning in her eyes and deep within her heart. Her nose felt sore, and she offered an insincere apology,
saying, “I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked toward the door as if she couldn’t stay any longer,
regardless of Kevin’s
reaction.
Kevin was taken aback for a moment, and as he turned around, he caught sight of her flushed eyes.
How could he let her go so easily?
He took two long strides forward, grabbing her wrist with a
firm grip, his fingers closing tightly. The ease in his voice
vanished, replaced by a subtle sense of urgency. “You make
mistakes and then try to run away. When will you learn to face
yourself?”
“I can’t.” Mabel turned her back to him. Without seeing the suffocating look in his eyes, she finally

dared to argue back to him. “You are my senior, my leader. If you criticize me, I have to listen.”
Mabel was so angry that she said something contrary, and
her tone was full of dissatisfaction.
Kevin raised his eyebrows and pulled her closer to him. Looking at her big eyes, which were about to

arms.
“You can’t face yourself?” He raised her chin and kissed her
lips. “I’ll help you.”
Ben’s body was recovering well. His feeding tube could be
removed in the first week after the surgery. He could sit up
straight and even walk with assistance. This brought some
relief to Lucy’s anxious heart.
Evelyn hired a caregiver to help with the care and spent most of her time by his bedside. Being
advanced, Lucy couldn’t take care of him for too long, so they took turns. Although it was a
bit firing, it wasn’t as
From time to time, Huston would come to deliver some daily necessities and offer instructions to the
medical staff. Their interactions remained as before, and he took good care of her. However, Evelyn felt
empty inside. Faced with such care, she couldn’t even muster a hint of gratitude, let alone any
other emotions.
In her eyes, everything that Huston was doing now was for Mia. She could no longer overcome the
hurdle in her heart.
