Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 936

Kevan’s left arm was wrapped in a thin bandage. Due to his loose sweatshirt, no one could tell that he was injured.

Larissa watched as he unwrapped the bandage. There was a wound approximately four inches long on his arm.

Kevan had already treated and disinfected the wound with alcohol. It had scabbed over and stopped bleeding, so it didn’t look terrifying.

Still Larissa’s heart ached as she touched the area around Kevan’s injury. She bit her lower lip to hold back the tears welling up in her

eyes.

Kevan only meant to evoke her sympathy, not to make her cry. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“It’s a minor cut. I’ll be fine in a couple of days.” Kevan removed his arm from her grasp and rewrapped the bandage.

Larissa looked into his eyes and advised earnestly, “Please don’t do this again in the future. If things can be resolved by calling the police. you don’t need to handle it personally.”

It was fortunate that Maria was a weak woman and couldn’t inflict much harm on him.

What if Kevan were to encounter a strong man like Vick? Confronting him head–on would only result in both parties getting hurt.

“Okay,” Kevan agreed.

“Im being serious.” Larissa knew that Kevan was only placating her. What she wanted was a promise that he would keep.

Larissa blinked and tears rolled down her cheeks. She choked up, her voice trembling, “I don’t think I can bear it if something bad happens to you

Kevan couldn’t help feeling moved by Larissa’s reaction. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed the top of Larissa’s head as her hot tears fell on his chest.

“Nothing bad will happen to me. I will stay safe and healthy. I will always be there for you and Aster,” Kevan promised her.

Larissa wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled closer to him. “You promised. You can’t go back on your word,” she said in a muffled voice.

“Yes, I won’t go back on my word.” Kevan let out a chuckle.

At 10.00 am the next day, Lewis had an appointment with Brian Ackley, the CEO of Thompson Medical

Since the Rogers‘ villa was quite far and Kevan wasn’t familiar with the route, Larissa arrived at the industrial park exactly on the dot.

She got out of the car and hurried toward them with her bag in tow.

Lewis and Richard, who was in charge of receiving them, were waiting for her at the entrance. The expressions on their faces were calm. They didn’t show any sign of displeasure at her tardiness.

“I’m so sorry for keeping you waiting!” Larissa apologized repeatedly.

Richard smiled kindly and said, “It’s alright. Mr. Ackley doesn’t have any other appointments today, so we are not in a rush.”

Thompson Medical was the biggest medical company in Bartham and one of the best in the country. The size of their industrial park was almost a thousand acres. They had factories, warehouses, and oflice areas in a single location. Tens of thousands of employees worked

there.

Thompson Medical’s medical equipment was widely used in hospitals all around the country. They even exported their equipment overseas.

Their products gained recognition from the international medical community.

The reason Blue Star Shipping wanted to collaborate with Thompson Medical was because of their huge potential for exports. This would be accelerated due to the current global pandemic caused by the virus.
