Chapter 1515
Rick immediately realized his mistake, âPresident Dixon, Iâm sorry. Iâll make it right.â
Steven continued, âIn this small town, we all know each other. Cops and crooks alike. No one wants things to escalate. The whole town would probably tell them to bury the hatchet. Iâm worried my father-in-law wonât be able to handle the pressure.â
Rick replied, âDonât worry, Iâve already got in touch with the right people. This wonât be swept under the rug. Itâll be handled by the book.â
Steven responded, âAlright.â
Rick said, âPresident Dixon, your accommodation has been arranged. Do you want to head back and rest?â
Even the best hotel in town was pretty basic, with a musty smell in the rooms. Rick wasnât a fan, let alone Steven. Steven didnât sleep well the night before. So, today Rick bought the best refurbished house in town, switched out the furniture to Stevenâs liking, hoping heâd get a good nightâs sleep.
Steven said, âIâm gonna sit here a while longer, you head back first.âe2
Rick replied, âPresident Dixon, ever since your wifeâs accident, you havenât had a good nightâs sleep. If this keeps up, your health will definitely take a hit. How about! stick around while you go rest a bit?â
Steven glanced at him and said, âNo need.â
Rick wanted to say more, but Steven interrupted, âI donât want to hear you speaking. Keep your distance.â
Rick said, âAlright, Iâll leave.â
Steven said, âHave the doctors on standby. Iâm worried about my brother-in-lawâs injuries.â
Rick said, âPresident Dixon, you donât need to personally handle these things.â
Steven waved him off, âJust go.â
He was overly worried, fearing something would happen to the Ableson family. He was scared something would happen to Hannah again. He couldnât bear to hear about Hannah getting hurt.
As Rick turned to leave, he saw two figures emerge under the streetlight, âPresident Dixon, the two people coming over there look like Hannah and Jarvis.â
Steven also saw them, âJust go.â
Rick left immediately, not daring to linger a second longer. If his presence tipped off Hannah to Stevenâs presence, Steven wouldnât let him off the hook.
His luxury car parked at the village entrance was too conspicuous. So, to keep a low profile, Steven had an old van set up as a cover. No one would give it a second glance if they passed by it. It became the perfect cover for Steven.
Steven watched as Hannah and Jarvis walked towards his location and stopped by the car. Jarvis, with a smile, said, âI told you not to walk me out. Your footâs not in a good shape. I should be walking you back.â
Hannah replied, âI walk slow, so itâs okay. Itâs getting late and it isnât an easy route drive back into town. You should leave earlier.â
Jarvis sighed, âHannah, I donât know when weâll meet again, or even whether we will. Can I hug you one more time?â
Steven stayed silent. He thought, Jarvis, this sly dog, was trying to take advantage of Hannah. Hannah should reject him. Just like she did with him.
But, Hannah didnât reject him. Instead, she reached out and gave Jarvis a warm hug, Jarvis, thank you! Thank you for saving me when I was in danger. We may not be lovers, but I hope we can be good friends. If you ever need my help, just let me know.â
After holding Hannah tightly, Jarvis politely let her go, âAlright, Iâll remember your words. If I ever need help, Iâll definitely come to you.
