Larissa dialed Kevan’s number.
The phone rang for what felt like ages. Kevan finally answered it just before it could disconnect.
“Hey, Lad?” Kevar seemed to intentionally lower his voice. “Are you up?”
It was eerily quiet on the other end of the fire, making it impossible for Larissa to pinpoint his current location.
“Yeah,” she responded. “Where are you?”
He hesitated for a moment before replying. Me? Well I’m at the hospital”
Larissa immediately sprang up from the couch. “What happened?”
“It’s not me,” Kevan paused briefly. His voice became solter as he continued, “It’s Wendy.”

“Which hospital are you at? I’m on my way!” she exclaimed.

tomorrow.”
“Ah…” Larisse sighed, hanging the clothes she had taken out back up. “Well just make sure you stay sale on your

of her. “Come on, tell me!”
“I went to see her this afternoon and showed her some evidence,” he began from the start, trying to create some
space for the revelation.
“So? What’s the connection between that and her being in the hospital?” She wasn’t interested in hearing any
nonsense.
“Later, I planned to take her home, but she accidentaly slipped and fell when she tried to avoid me. She lost the
baby.” His expression was solemn, and his tone was filled with quill.
She lost her grip on the burger, causing it to fall to the floor. “Wha-what? Say that again… What happened to

“She must be devastated-betrayed by someone she loved, deceived by a close friend. Now, even the baby…” Her
voice got caught in her throat, and she couldn’t continue.
“It’s too late. I’ve arranged for a caretaker to take care of her. Don’t worry about her, Get a good night’s sleep, and
I’ll take you there early in the morning. Okay?” Kevan tried to persuade her.
