Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 238
Chapter 238
Vivica stared at Larissa, unsure if she was being serious. “First of all, I doubt you have the ability. Second, why would you be so kind?”
“Oh, it wouldn’t be out of kindness. There would be conditions,” Larissa said, keeping a close eye on Honora, who had visibly tensed at the mention of Leopold waking up. Clearly, she didn’t want him to
recover.
Interesting.
“So, Aunt Vivica,” Larissa pressed, “are you interested?”
“Vivica, don’t listen to this brat,” Josette interrupted.
Vivica snapped back to reality. Larissa was the reason her son was in this state. Why would she help him? And did she really have the medical expertise? This was the best hospital in Regal City, and Leopold was being treated by the top doctors. They had said his recovery was up to him. How could Larissa claim she could wake him?
“I don’t know what you’re planning, but I’m not falling for it,” Vivica said firmly.
“Suit yourself,” Larissa shrugged. “He’s not my son. It makes no difference to me whether he wakes up or not. I’m not the one losing sleep over it.”
The elevator doors opened on the sixth floor, and she stepped out.
As the doors closed, Vivica felt a flicker of doubt.
What if… just what if Leopold didn’t wake up on his own? Maybe it would be worth a shot. But she couldn’t imagine what impossible conditions Larissa would demand.
As Larissa neared Haskell’s room, she ran into Draven, who was just leaving. His face was dark, and he radiated a palpable, menacing anger.
Draven turned, and his expression shifted from a scowl to a forced, friendly smile when he saw her. “Miss Judson. Here to treat my brother’s legs again, I see.”
Larissa noted the lunch box in his hand. It seemed his “kindness” had been rejected by Haskell, which would explain his foul mood.
“That’s right,” she said with a playful smirk. “And you’re here to be humiliated by Haskell again?”
Draven’s smile froze. This was his first real interaction with the Judson heiress, and she was already so blatantly rude.
“It seems my brother has told you quite a bit about our family,” he said, his eyes narrowing as he studied her.
“Of course. We’re going to be husband and wife. Honesty is important. I know all about the Palmer family, especially you and your sister, Valeria,” Larissa said, then corrected herself. “Oh, wait. Valeria was kicked out of the family by Zoltan for her mistakes, so she’s not a Palmer anymore, is she?”

Draven’s smile vanished completely. “It seems my brother trusts you a great deal, telling you all our family business.”
“Well, he sees me as more trustworthy than a backstabbing snake like Valeria, Larissa said with a grin.
Draven’s grip on the lunch box tightened. “You’ve always been this direct, haven’t you, Miss Judson? Aren’t you afraid of making enemies with that sharp tongue of yours?”
“If the people I’m offending are like you, then no, I’m not afraid at all.”
Draven’s eyes glinted with a dangerous light. “Oh? And what kind of person is that?”
Without missing a beat, Larissa said, “A nobody.”
