It was raining cats and dogs outside the window. The rain was accompanied by the rumbling sounds of
thunder and occasional flashes of lightning.
The news had reported that this torrential rain was a rare occurrence that would only happen once in a
decade, causing severe flooding in many parts of the city and leaving people stranded in their cars.
Gary had returned to the Winston Hotel yesterday to deal with some business matters and he would be
back in the morning. Despite that, It was almost noon, but Lewis and Gary were nowhere to be seen.
Larissa couldn’t help but feel worried.
However, her phone was completely destroyed in that accident. Lewis had set up call forwarding for her
and settled the procedures of her resignation, but he did not get her a replacement phone or a new
number. As a result, she had no way of contacting them at all.
When Mrs. Griffin finished washing the map in the bathroom, she walked past the balcony and peered
down below. Shaking her head, she exclaimed with a surprised expression on her face. “Goodness
gracious! Even the parking lot is flooded!”
Larissa’s worry intensified and she asked Mrs. Griffin for help, “Mrs. Griffin, can you make a call to
Lewis?”
“Sure.” Mrs. Griffin fished out an old-fashioned mobile phone. Squinting as she scrolled down her
contact list, she finally found Lewis’ number.
The call was connected quickly, however, the signal on both ends was weak due to the terrible weather,
Lewis’ voice was choppy and
broken over the call forcing him to repeat himself several times before Mrs. Griffin finally understood
what he was saying.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen to Lari?” Lewis asked anxiously.
“No, no! Lari, speak to Lewis! Waving her hands in a panic, Mrs. Griffin quickly held the phone to
Larissa’s ear.
Larissa questioned. “Lewis, where are you now?” Lewis replied with difficulty as his voice wasn’t clear
over the phone, “We’re still at the hotel! The heavy rain caused the underground parking lot to be
flooded. We can’t get out and we can’t get a cab as well. At this rate, it might take some time for us to
get to the hospital”
Hearing that they were sale, Larissa felt instantly relieved.
“Don’t worry. Mrs. Griffin is here with me! Both of you should stay at the hotel and not venture out for
now!” she advised.
Lewis didn’t agree immediately. “Let’s see how the situation turns out.” A family member had to be at
the hospital with Larissa at all times. Otherwise, if an emergency happened, Mrs. Griffin was unable to
make any urgent decisions on behalf of Larissa.
“If the rain eases off a little. I’ll try to get there on the subway.”
The heavy rain and severe flooding had a widespread impact, causing several public bus routes in the
city to be suspended, but the subway was still operational for the time being. Thus, the subway was
much more crowded than usual due to the sudden increase in demand.
“Don’t trouble yourself! If you dare to appear in my ward today. I’ll chase you out on the spot. Mark my
words!” Larissa tried to deter him
and threatened Lewis hall-jokingly.
Lewis chuckled but he didn’t take her words seriously. “Of course, I believe you. Alright, I’ll stay put at
the hotel. Pass the phone to Mrs.
Griffin, I want to have a word with her.”
The old-fashioned mobile phone was unusually loud, so anyone standing nearby could hear the
conversation clearly even without putting the call on speakerphone.
Without waiting for Larissa to inform her, Mrs. Griffin withdrew her hand and brought the phone to her
own ear. “Hello?”
Lewis said, “Mrs. Griffin, please get the doctor as I need to talk to him.”
“Okay, wait a minute! Mrs. Griffin ran out of the ward in a hurry.
Even without listening to the conversation, Larissa could already guess what Lewis was going to say. It
was probably something along the lines of asking the doctor to take good care of her and inform him
immediately if something bad happened.
Larissa had a hard time adjusting to their slightly overprotective care. Since she grew up in a cold and
unwelcoming environment with the Seymours, she had always relied on herself.
The sudden appearance of a father and an older cousin did take her by surprise, but Larissa didn’t feel
turned off by their concern and love.
With a sigh of resignation, a smile spread across her face.
