Chapter 226\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell sensed a shift in her mood. He put down the magazine he was reading and looked up at her with a smile. \u201cWho upset you\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa sat down and opened her needle case. \u201cHonora. Talking to her is about as pleasant as being constipated.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The analogy was so vivid that Haskell couldn\u2019t help but chuckle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe knows I can heal your legs. I think she wants you back,\u201d Larissa said, glancing at\u00a0<\/p>\n
him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell looked genuinely baffled. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever given her any reason to think that. Where does she get this blind confidence?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause you\u2019re a man,\u201d Larissa replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell picked up the lunch box, raising an eyebrow. \u201cAnd all men like women like Honora?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what she seems to think.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He opened the container. \u201cI can\u2019t speak for all men, but I certainly don\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa shrugged. \u201cWhatever. She\u2019s not worth my time anyway. I\u2019m just keeping her around to watch her backstab Paxton\u2019s family when she gets desperate enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell agreed. \u201cExactly. Why waste our time together talking about her? It\u2019s a complete waste of a good moment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa laughed and began Haskell\u2019s treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Haskell ate the lunch Larissa had brought, he found the food exceptionally delicious. He didn\u2019t know what Honora had said to her, but her reaction told him one thing: she\u00a0<\/p>\n
cared about him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And that made him very happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Honora entered the hospital room, she found Finley standing by the window, staring intently at a document in his hands, his brow furrowed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFinley? What are you looking at?\u201d she asked softly as she approached him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley looked up, his expression still grim. He handed her the papers. \u201cSee for yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora paused, set her lunch box and purse on a nearby table, and took the document. As she read, her calm expression slowly morphed into one of pale shock and disbelief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a long moment, she looked up, her voice trembling. \u201cLarissa\u2026 she has such a\u00a0<\/p>\n

horrifying past\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley nodded gravely. \u201cHorrifying is an understatement. It\u2019s chilling.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora couldn\u2019t bear to look at it anymore and folded the papers. \u201cFinley, where did you get this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a file on Leopold\u2019s phone, sent two days ago. He must have had someone look into Larissa\u2019s past. I printed it out to read it more closely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two days ago?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora froze. That was the day she found out Leopold was investigating her. So he had been looking into both of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A wave of panic washed over her, but she forced herself to remain calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWas there anything else on his phone?\u201d she asked, testing the waters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley shook his head. \u201cNo, just this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora breathed a silent sigh of relief. It seemed he hadn\u2019t found out about her hiring someone to assault Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She put on a look of lingering fear. \u201cI ran into Larissa in the parking lot and rode the elevator with her. Just thinking about it now gives me chills. Finley\u2026 if Grandpa knew she had such a twisted past, do you think he could ever accept her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
