Chapter 614
Sweet Subterfuge
After a long wait, the day finally came for Lanaâs trial case, However, neither of the parties involved showed up in court. Larissa was si recovering in Aldovia, so it was not convenient for her to make a long trip back home. She entrusted her lawyer to handle everything on her behall As for Lana, it seemed as if she had completely disappeared: her lawyer couldnât reach her.
Considering the possibility of her fleeing to escape punishment, the court immediately suspended the trial, and the police began searching for her.
There were no records of Lana purchasing any flight or train tickets in the system. But that alone didnât necessarily mean she hadnât left Bartham. After searching all the hotels and questhouses, as well as visiting hundreds of neighborhoods and streets in the city without any luck, the police had no choice but to issue a nationwide warrant for Lana and set a reward of ten thousand dollars for finding her.
âHey, should I provide some tips to the police and claim the ten grand reward?â Dylan joked with Kevan Kevan-busy packing his luggage-didnât bother to raise his head as he asked calmly. âDo you need that ten grand?â
I Of course, Dylan didnât need it. âWell, Iâm related to the police, so I feel bad watching them struggle to find Lana. Itâs a waste of resources.â Dylan lelt a slight pang of guill Kewan, on the other hand, did not have as strong of a sense of social responsibility as Dylan let alone much empathy.
âLetâs talk about it when Iâm back.â He recalled the tie heâd received a few hours ago. âNow is not the time.â The punishment Lana received was far from satisfactory to him.
âItâs going to be half a month later by the time youâll be back.â Dylan wanted to persuade him further but gave up in the end knowing his personality well. âAlright, I wonât bother you much about this matter.â
Dylan changed the subject, saying âAre you going to have a serious talk with Larissa when you go there?â
Kevanâs actions halled.
âBefore, you didnât confess your feelings because your two uncles were still around, right? Now that they are in prison, and the Seymour family wonât be an obstacle anymore, what are you afraid of?â
Dylan encouraged him further, saying, âGo for it! can tell that Larissaâs attitude toward you is very different from when she just came back from Aldovia. Besides, you two have a son together.â
Kevan lelt overwhelmed when thinking about Aster. He didnât know how to tell Larissa that he was Asterâs biological father. He didnât want to keep it a secret forever, although this seemed to be the easiest option for him.
âLet me think about it.â He couldnât make the right decision now. Despite his usual assertiveness in other matters, he kept postponing this ont.
Dylan had many things to say, but he chose to stay quiet. After all, it was Kevanâs private matter, and he had no right to interfere too much. Besides, he had a pile of issues from his own family waiting for him to address.
This wasnât the first time Kevan had traveled to Aldovia, but surprisingly, he fell nervous and couldnât fall asleep on the plane this time. He didnât manage to rest his eyes throughout the ten-hour long journey.
As soon as he cleared customs, the person sent by Lewis picked him up and took him to the pre-
arranged hotel Kevan had already communicated with Lewis, and Lewis would be arranging everything for Kevan.
The hotel was conveniently close to the hospital where Larisa was. It was just two streets away, which was about a ten-minute walk.
