Chapter 944
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
âOkay.â I hung up and told Cameron a few things before leaving.
She wasnât wearing anything thick, and it was already winter in K City. It was impossible for me to take
some clothes from the house, so I had to pick her up first.
It was hard to get a ride at the hospital, so I was left waiting, much to my chagrin.
âScarlett!â someone called out to me, much to my surprise. I looked around to see who was calling me
and saw Hannah, which was quite a shock.
She was wearing a tan-colored jacket, and her hair was tied up in a bun, making her look younger. She
was also wearing an elegant pair of pearl earrings. Hannah didnât have the cute look of a young lady,
for she was already in her thirties, but she was mature, attractive, and elegant.
âWhy did you come to the hospital? Are you sick?â I smiled at her.
She returned the smile and came up to me. âNot me. My boyfriendâs mother. We came to visit her. I
was just going to call you to see which room Summer is in so we can see her too.â
At the same time, Hannahâs boyfriend parked his car at the roadside and greeted us.
Hannah asked, âAre you going somewhere? We can give you a lift. Itâs hard to get a ride right now, and
you guys can get to know each other. Donât want you guys to feel awkward if you bump into each other
next time, you know.â
I paused for a moment, then I smiled at her boyfriend. âI need to go to the airport. Itâs quite a distance
away, but letâs catch up some other time.â
âEh, itâs fine. We donât have anything to do today, so Iâll go with you. I have something to discuss
anyway. Youâre really busy lately, arenât you? If I let this chance slip, god knows when the catching up
will happen.â Hannah took me to the car and went into the backseat.
She told her boyfriend, âTo the airport, Chandler.â
The man nodded and revved up the car.
Hannah held my hand. âHeâs Chandler, my boyfriend. He works as a programmer.â
The man gave me an honest smile, and I smiled back. Hannah continued, âAnd this is my friend,
Scarlett. I told you about her.â
We got to know each other after that. Chandler looked like an honest man, and he seemed to be
younger than Hannah. I met him before at the restaurant. He was about six feet four in height. A
towering giant, really. He wasnât conventionally handsome, but he sent out a good vibe.
Then, I looked at Hannah. I never bumped into her again after leaving the Stovall residence. Well, it
was just a few days though. I was about to ask her about John, but it looked like she had probably
decided to dump him.
I kept my mouth shut since her life was peaceful at the moment. Dating John was not a golden
experience for her. To say it was torture might even be an understatement. In any case, nobody could
fault her for leaving.
âOh, are you picking someone up at the airport?â Hannah asked.
I nodded. âYeah. My friend from A City came. Itâs chilly right now, and itâs hard to get a ride there.
Moreover, she isnât wearing a lot of clothes right now either.â
Hannah nodded. âI think we have some clothes here.â Then, she asked Chandler, âChandler, did you
take the clothes in the trunk home? You know, the ones I put a few days ago.â
Chandler shook his head. âNo. Work has been hectic these couple of days. Iâve forgotten about it.â
She pouted. âYou always forget what I told you. Man, you and that bad memory of yours, but this is
actually good.â She smiled at me. âYour friendâs a girl, right? If itâs fine for her, I can lend her my clothes.
Winter in K City can be a nightmare Donât let her fall ill.â
I nodded. Hannah seemed different somehow. She used to be elegant and hard to approach, but she
was warmer and more approachable now.
She was surprised to see me smile though. âAre you going to ask about John and I?â
I froze up for a moment, but she explained, âItâs fine. Chandler knows about it, so you donât have to
hold back. Ask away. Oh, I almost forgot about this, but Chandler and I are getting married. I was going
to ask you to come with me to the bridal house for the gown fitting. You know I donât have many friends,
so youâre the first person I thought of. But with Summer being hospitalized, I know you must be busy as
well.â
I stopped for a moment to process what she said. Then I smiled. âMy motherâs looking after Summer.
Tell me in advance if youâre going to try out the gowns. But you sure you talked it out with my brother?
Kikiâs still young, so I support you, butâ¦â
She nodded at me. âI know what youâre trying to say, but Iâm going to be thirty-three soon. My best
years are coming to an end. Iâve let go of everything and did everything I had to. I thank god for having
met Chandler when life seems to be at a dead end. He spoils me a lot, and thanks to him, I found out
that love can come in such an adorable way. We may fall in love with a lot of people throughout our
lives, but there can only be one person who walks with us until the end. I want to live my life with
Chandler, and I know the kind of life I want to lead. I know youâre worried about your brother and Kiki,
but I think of you as my friend, Scarlett. I hope you can think about this from my perspective, alright?â
