Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 559

Larissa walked with her back facing the car. So, by the time she heard the sound of the engine and turned to look, it was already too late.

A sharp pain struck her lower back, and both her feet left the ground. After a brief half-minute, she fell to the ground in a prone position. The pain was so intense that her limbs became numb, and it felt as if her internal organs had shifted.

Screams echoed in her eyes, and she could feel a warm liquid sliding down her cheek. Her vision darkened, and she lost consciousness completely.

She didn't know how long she had been unconscious, but when she woke up, everything around her was pitch black without a trace of light. For a moment, she thought she lost her sight.

Luckily, her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and she could vaguely make out the outline of the ceiling above her.

The strong scent of disinfectant filled her nostrils, reminding her that she was still in the hospital.

She tried to move her neck to look at her surroundings, but a sharp pain immediately shot through her body.

"Ouch!" she gasped in pain.

"Lari, are you awake?" A voice filled with surprise and concern came from beside her.

Though she couldn't see the person clearly, she quickly recognized the voice, "Mr. Logan?" Her throat was as dry as a desert.

"Yes, I overheard everything you and Yvette said," she replied.

"Then, why didn't you come and ask me about it?" He realized his mistake as words left his mouth. He didn't have the right to blame her. After all, he was the one who had concealed the truth for long.

She forced a bitter smile. "Because I wasn't sure if you wanted to acknowledge me or not."

Her chest felt heavy, making it difficult for her to speak. "What if …" She took a deep breath and continued, "What if you saw me as a burden? I can understand. After all, my birth was a mistake … and you also need to consider the feelings of your other children …"

"That's not true, Lari." He held her hands tightly and explained urgently, "You're the most precious person and the most beautiful thing I have ever had in my life! I have no other children besides you! Believe me, I've been searching for you for all these years!"
