Chapter 1466
If this were back in the day, Steven wouldâve just shrugged off these questions. He used to think that marriage was strictly between him and Hannah and had nothing to do with their social circles. But only recently, had he realized that the environment also mattered a lot.
If his friends and family didnât accept Hannah, especially his parents, Hannah, no matter how strong she was inside, would feel insecure.
On this topic, both of them didnât say anything more, and just silently puffed on their cigarettes. After finishing his cigarette, Steven put out the butt. âDad, you guys promised youâd take Hannah away. Can I still visit her?â
Jeo said, âAsk Hannahâs mom and see if she agrees.â
Just then, Pandora came out. âHannahâs asleep. Donât wake her up.â
So, this is her agreeing.
âThanks!â Steven couldnât wait and rushed into Hannahâs hospital room.
Jeo wiped away his tears and looked at Pandora with worry. âSheâ¦â
Pandora said, âSheâs fine. If youâre not feeling well, go rest in the room theyâve arranged. Iâll wait here, and if Hannah wakes up, Iâll be here.â
Jeo held Pandoraâs hand tightly. âI know youâre really upset. Just let it out, and cry if you need to.â
Pandora said, âYou think everyone is like you, who cries at the drop of a hat. Hannah got that from you. She cries easily.â
Jeo said, âKind people often cry easily.â
Pandora said, âI donât want Hannah to be that kind. They say nice guys finish last.â
Jeo said. âItâs okay, doing good things will eventually bring good results, and doing bad things will eventually bring bad results.â
Pandora said, âYes, hopefully. I hope our Hannah and Farley grow up healthy and live ordinary lives.â
Jeo said, âYes, Steven promised that after Hannah recovers, heâd let us take her away.â
In the hospital room.
Steven gently held Hannahâs hand, softly calling her name, âHannahâ¦â He looked at her peaceful sleeping face, just quietly watching her, as if he could see forever.
âHannah, Iâm sorry, the day you needed me the most, I didnât get your call for help. But donât worry, no matter how important the meeting is in the future, I will never turn off my phone. I will never miss any of your calls again.â
A month ago, he went overseas to attend a very important meeting. The meeting involved leaders from various countries and required high confidentiality, so he was unaccessible to the outside world during that time. Therefore, he missed several distress calls from Hannah. He only received one reproachful message from her.
When he found out she had a car accident, he disregarded everyoneâs objections and immediately took a private jet back home.
The ten-plus hour flight felt like an eternity to him. Every second was torture.
When he finally landed, he sprinted to the hospital and saw Hannah in the emergency room. She was covered in blood, as if she was lying in a sea of blood, and he could barely see her face. In that instant, he felt dizzy, and the world turned gray. He couldnât hear the sounds around him, only seeing people busily moving around.
Finally, it was Jeremyâs voice that brought him back to reality. âHannah has lost a lot of blood and is being transfused. Itâs still uncertain whether we can save her.â
