Chapter 1428
âSeems like itâs Miss Daniela. Probably flirting with President Dixon and lost track of time,â the nurse said as she put away the used IV bag, giving Hannah a smile. âDonât worry too much, Miss Hannah. President Dixon will come to keep you company once heâs done with Miss Daniela. Itâs been like this every day for the past
month.â
âOkay,â Hannah replied indifferently. âYou can go now.â
âAlright.â
After the nurse left, Hannah pulled out the needle from her arm.
Something was definitely off about that nurse. Since Hannah woke up, sheâd had two checks and two medication changes, all done by two medical staff who barely spoke during the process.
When Hannah asked questions, the staff only gave brief answers. But this nurse sure did talk a lot. She seemed more like someone Daniela set up.
Hannah wanted to escape, but she couldnât. Her legs were still in casts. She couldnât even get out of bed.
She looked for her phone and found a similar model on the bedside table. Only it looked much newer. She wasnât sure if it was meant for her. She tried her usual unlock code, and it worked.
Not only did the phone unlock, but it also had all her apps, photos, and everything else from her original phone. It seemed like her old phone got damaged in the accident, and whoever prepared this new one had transferred all her data into it.
Hannah didnât trust Steven. She didnât even have basic mobility. The only person she trusted was Cornelia. âNelly, I think Iâm in danger. Come save meâ¦â
Cornelia, âHannah, donât be scared. Iâm coming to save you.â
Hannah, âNelly, hurry up. If youâre late, I might not make it.â
Cornelia, âOkay. Iâlive nearby, Iâll be there soon.â
Hearing that Cornelia was just around the corner put Hannah at ease. âOkay, Iâll wait for you.â
At the time of Hannahâs call, Cornelia was working on a new comic.
Jeremy was sitting next to her with Hope in his arms. Hope was very well-behaved, seeming to understand that her mommy needed silence when drawing, so she stayed quiet in her daddyâs arms, looking adorable.
Because Hannah had been in a coma after the accident, Cornelia hadnât returned to Riverton after being discharged from the hospital. Instead, she stayed in Harbor City, waiting for Hannah to wake up.
Hearing Hannah was in danger, the usually calm Cornelia panicked. âJeremy, you stay home with Hope. Hannahâs in danger, and I need to get to the hospital.â
She was so anxious that she dropped her paintbrush and was ready to leave. Jeremy quickly stopped her. âStevenâs at the hospital. Let me call him first to check on the situation.â
Cornelia, âOkay, you do that. Iâm going to the hospital.â
Jeremy, âWhat I was trying to say is, with Steven there, Hannah should be fine.â
Cornelia, âWho knows for sure? Before Hannahâs accident, didnât Steven arrange for people to protect her? She still had a car accident and nearly lost her life.â
Jeremy, âIâll have Patricia watch Hope, and Iâll go with you.â
Cornelia, âIâll have Ayden come with me. You stay home. Your health isnât good, and you canât be running around.â
With Ayden coming along, Jeremy felt reassured. âOkay.â
Cornelia quickly changed her clothes and shoes. Before leaving, she saw Jeremyâs anxious expression. She hugged him and gave him a quick kiss.
Seeing Hope in Jeremyâs arms, staring at her with wide eyes, she kissed Hope too. âSon, you and Daddy stay home. Mommy will be back once everythingâs sorted
out.â
With that, she left.
As soon as she did, Jeremy dialed Stevenâs number. âComeliaâs heading to the hospital to see Hannah. There might be danger. Stay alert and make sure sheâs absolutely safe.
