Chapter 519

Larissa was taken aback, “Huh?”

Gary avoided her gaze and asked In a low voice, “What about your father?”

Although Larissa was trembling, she put on a smile and said. “My mom said he passed away when I was very young. I’ve never seen my dad, and I don’t even know what he looks like. That’s the biggest regret of my life. Because of this. I can’t bear to let my son’s hopes be shattered.”

Gary’s heart, which had just calmed down, began to ache again. He wanted to tell Larissa that he was her father.

But he was worried that she would blame him for not appearing all these years, and might even refuse to acknowledge him. He wouldn’t be able to maintain even a simple friendship with her.

“Do you miss your father?” he tentatively asked.

“When I was little, I thought about him, especially when I was sad,” Larissa recalled the past, as if all the pain had disappeared, leaving behind a faint trace of melancholy, “But as I grew up. I stopped thinking about it because I knew it was pointless.”

“What if your father suddenly appeared in front of you, could you accept him?” Gary asked again.

“My father is already deceased, so if he appeared in front of me, he must be a ghost right? Larissa didn’t take Gary’s question seriously at all and joked with him instead. “I definitely wouldn’t be able to accept it. I might even scream in fright.”

“What if your father didn’t pass away? Gary looked at Larissa, his gaze profound.

Larissa’s heart wavered, and she cast a strange look at Gary. “Do you know something?” Her voice was trembling.

Looking at her, Gary answered, “No.”

In the end, he didn’t dare to tell her the truth, Larissa didn’t completely believe his answer. After all, his reaction was too strange. There had to be something more to it. Just at that moment. Lewis returned, breaking the strange tension between the two.

Gary heaved a sigh of relief.

“The discharge procedures have been completed,” Lewis announced as he picked up the suitcase next to Gary’s bed. “We can leave now.” “Okay.” Gary quickly stood up and hurriedly walked out of the room.

“Let’s go.”

On the way back to the hotel Larissa didn’t ask him any more questions because Lewis was pres 15 present.

She dropped them off at the hotel and instructed the assistant to take care of them before she hurried to the kindergarten.

Both sides of the road leading to the kindergarten were lined with luxury cars.

Larissa circled around the area a couple of times before finding a space to park in the underground parking lot of a mall.

By the time she arrived at the kindergarten, it was already past 9 am, and the opening ceremony of the sports meet had already begun. The loud music made her instinctively quicken her pace.

Fortunately, she was acquainted with the security guard, so he didn’t give her a hard time and let her in without a hassle.

The students were all gathered on the large sports field, and Larissa had to crane her neck before she finally spotted Aster’s class. Parents and children stood side by side, forming orderly lines. Almost every child had a pair of parents by their side, which made Larissa’s heart sink.

Aster must be feeling even worse by comparing himsell to other families.

“Mommy! Mommy! Over here Aster’s voice rang from a distance.

Larissa followed the voice and saw her precious son jumping and waving at her, as well as the man standing beside him, Standing at a towering height, the man stood out in the crowd.
