Chapter 33 Larissa instinctively lowered her head . Seeing as her forceful attempts at entering were not working , Amber started crying . " I need to see my uncle urgently ! Please ! You have to let me in ! This is a matter of life and death . If I can't see my uncle , I might as well be dead ! Do you really have the heart to watch me meet my end without doing anything ? " Snot and tears trickled down her cheeks . She looked particularly pitiful . Slight discomfort colored the guard's face , but he remained professional . " These are the orders I have from my higher - ups . I'm sorry , Miss , I really cannot let you in . " Amber hurled her backpack into the guardhouse . The guard took a step back in fright . " My phone , wallet , and ID are all in this bag . Please , I'm begging you ! Take these in exchange and let me in . I really am not a bad person ! " The guard bent down and picked her backpack up before handing it back to her wordlessly . His stance was firm and there was no changing his mind . " Beep , beep- " A car came from behind and sounded its horn , most probably due to the blockage on the road . Larissa wanted to let the car behind her pass , but it wasn't up to her to decide when she could leave . The guard was held up by Amber's fit and could not walk up to explain the current situation to the driver behind her . Not long after , Larissa caught a glimpse of a figure walking toward them through her rearview mirror . The man stopped between her car and the guardhouse . " What's going on ? " The icy voice was filled with impatience . That tone - Larissa was more than familiar with it . " Mr. Rogers ! " The guard immediately straightened and greeted him politely . " You ! Why are you here ? " Amber quickly recognized Kevan as well . Her eyes widened in shock , her mouth slightly agape . She pointed at him for a long time but couldn't get a single word out . Kevan's lips curled in a slight smile . " What a coincidence . " His familiarity with Amber stunned the guard . " Mr. Rogers , do you know this woman ? " " I do . " Kevan nodded . Amber did not know how that pretty boy she once met turned into " Mr. Rogers " all of a sudden , but she did not have the heart to care about her previous feud with Kevan . Instead , she clutched his arm and resumed her initial overbearing attitude . " See ? I know Mr. Rogers . Can you let me in now ? " Kevan's face darkened instantly . He suppressed his extreme discomfort and subtly tried to remove his arm from her . The guard looked between Amber and Kevan before he asked tentatively . " So- should I let this lady in , Mr. Rogers ? " Kevan spat coldly . " Let her in ." Amber smiled as the guard quickly raised the barricade . However , she did not rush inside . " Mr. Rogers , about last time - I sincerely apologize , " she said instead . Her head was lowered but she tried her hardest to observe Kevan's expression as she spoke . She bit her lower lip , traces of undried tears shining on her cheeks . She looked extremely pitiful at that moment . Kevan was rather generous . " It's fine , " he replied . Amber immediately started to flatter him . " Oh , Mr. Rogers , you truly are a great and forgiving person ! Thank God I ran into you today , or else I wouldn't know how much longer I would have to stand in this cold- " " No problem , " Kevan replied . He then took off his coat and handed it to her . " Wear this if you're cold . " Amber was pleasantly surprised . " Thank you , Mr. Rogers ! " She swiftly put on his coat and rubbed her hands shyly . Her face was filled with anticipation when she spoke again , " Could you - could you maybe drive me over to Block 12 ? " Block 12 was located deep within the heart of Foxtail Garden .
