Chapter 1519
âHannah!â Steven quickly hopped out of the car after Hannah. He reached out, trying to stop her, but halted at the sight of her icy stare.
She snapped, âSteven, do you really want to watch me drop dead in front of you?â
âHannah.â Steven stuttered. Flashes of Skylerâs tragic death in the fire and Zavierâs heart-wrenching grief played in his mind. He didnât dare to take any risk, and he could only watch helplessly as Hannah disappeared from his sight.
Just then, his phone buzzed. It was a call from Harbor City. In the quiet night, the ringtone seemed exceptionally loud. He answered, hearing Jacquelineâs anxious voice, âSteven, where the heck are you?â
âMom, whatâs up?â Steven asked.
âYour dad just fainted. Get your ass home now.â Jacqueline insisted.
âWhat happened?â Steven worried.e2
âHeâs been rushed to the hospital. We donât know whatâs going on.â Jacqueline said.
âIâm on my way. Chill mom. Dad will be okay.â After ending the call with Jacqueline, Steven immediately dialed Rick, âArrange a private jet back to Harbor City.â
âRoger that.â Rick replied.
âYou stay here and look after Hannah and her family.â Steven instructed.
Rick was Stevenâs personal assistant. He was always by his side no matter where he went. Rick said, âMr. Dixon, if I stay, what about you? Or should I arrange someone else to take care of them? Thereâs probably nothing serious here.â
âI donât trust anyone but you.â Steven insisted.
The last time he left Hannah in someone elseâs care in Europe, she ended up seriously injured. If she hadnât been so lucky, he might have lost her forever. How could he hand over Hannahâs safety to anyone else?
Rick, having been with him for years, understood Stevenâs worries, âAlright, Iâll sort it out.â
Steven hung up, looked towards where Hannah had disappeared. She was already out of sight. Though he was reluctant, he got into the car and left.
Months flew by in a blink and it was Christmas again. A lot had happened in these months.
