Chapter 50: Someone to Take My Place**After the incident, Hanna left the house very early, before she could be noticed by Morgan. He intended to interrogate her, but the security guard went to his room to inform him that she had left the mansion very early and in a hurry. As soon as he heard this, he also left the mansion and headed to the hospital.Hanna went to a café, where she had breakfast while waiting for someone, feeling restless as she looked at the message on her phone."I'll be there in fifteen minutes." The message read, but it didn't identify who it was, whether male or female."Ah... finally..." Hanna sighed when a girl her age entered the café. She wore a large hat to protect herself from the sun and big sunglasses."Hanna Ortiz, you runaway!" grumbled the pale-skinned girl, removing her sunglasses. Her eyes were so blue and clear that one could see through them deeply."Hi..." Hanna sighed, lowering her head."How could you disappear after having to leave college? The
Chapter 51: Someone I Can Lean On**Hanna had no idea what was happening as she saw a line of doctors running after Morgan went to alert them about something in the room. Misaluna watched in panic as the doctors removed everything from the boy, including the necklace she had placed on him.She froze against the wall while Morgan anxiously watched the doctors begin the process of resuscitating the boy."Oh God..." Misaluna whimpered, unable to look until Morgan noticed her there. She felt someone gently hold her arm."You'd better leave now. He’s going to be fine, just wait for the doctors to finish..." Morgan urged, leading her out carefully while she tried to process the situation.As soon as Morgan left her outside, he went back in, and Hanna waved to her. Misaluna approached Hanna stealthily."What’s happening?" Hanna asked desperately."His heart... I saw his heart stop..." Misaluna stammered. Hanna froze, feeling her world collapse on her shoulders. "No, Hanna. Don't go if you wa
Chapter 52: Between the Lines of a Past Between Maya and Morgan.Hanna did not want to be taken to the mansion by Morgan, especially since she would have to get away from him to reach the annex. Still, she had no choice.As soon as they returned to the mansion, he was still pondering the girl he had seen. She wasn't a stranger to him; she definitely reminded him of someone, but at that moment, he wasn't thinking much after the whole desperate situation.Hanna followed him, huddled, while he observed her furtively, trying to ask questions. But there was nothing that could make her speak.As soon as they arrived, he himself opened the door for Hanna to get out. She hadn't even noticed that they had arrived while her eyes were closed. Morgan analyzed her for a moment, thinking about the reason she was crying. He even thought it could be because of a boyfriend, but it didn't seem like she had anyone. Still, her face was red from crying so much."Let's go." He called her gently, leaning in
Chapter 53: The Deep and Hidden PainHanna recoiled when she saw who was there. He staggered into the room, staring at her with a lost look in his eyes.“What are you doing here?” Hanna asked, stepping back as his unsteady steps brought him closer.“I want to stay...” Morgan mumbled, squinting, trying to stay lucid.“What are you saying, Mr. Morgan? Are you drunk?”“I’m tired!” he suddenly asserted, stumbling forward. Hanna placed her hands on his chest to keep him from falling.“You’ve been drinking... why? You shouldn’t be in my room. Come on, I’ll take you back,” Hanna urged, apprehensively trying to grab his arm to lead him out. But even drunk, he hadn’t lost his strength. Hanna kept trying to pull him, placing his arm over her shoulder. Suddenly, Morgan broke free and hugged her from behind.She froze at his action.“What are you doing?”“Don’t make a noise...” he murmured with a slurred voice. “I’m too tired to deal with her invading my room after seeing me like this...” he sigh
Chapter 54: Unwanted VisitsA sense of relief washed over Hanna as she opened her eyes and saw Morgan still asleep. It was only five in the morning, and carefully, she slipped out of his arms that were wrapped around her waist, sneaking out of the room. At that hour, no one would see her leave, so she ran to her annex.Lory was also asleep in her room, and Hanna returned to her bed, sinking back into sleep. A pang of longing hit her as she felt the coldness of the mattress, unused for days.It was already eight in the morning, and she was still sleeping deeply when someone shook her forcefully.“Wake up, Miss Hanna, quickly!” Lory pleaded, insisting until Hanna finally woke up, realizing it wasn’t a dream.“Lory... what’s happening? I want to sleep!” she exclaimed, still drowsy.“They’re coming!” Lory informed her, distressed. “I went to the mansion to look for you and heard Liara talking to Morgan. It seems he’s coming here with them, but I don’t know why.”“Heavens... ‘They’?” Hanna
Chapter 55: Lies Don't Last ForeverHanna searched for words to confront Morgan, but suddenly, she calmly considered his question."And if I want to?" she asked, analyzing him. He let out a heavy sigh, leaning forward and looking into her eyes, which made her look away."I can think about it..." he replied, sighing and relaxing again."Oh... aren't you going to fight with me for kicking your future wife out?""Do you want me to fight?" he asked indifferently, settling on the couch calmly, placing his hands on his head as he leaned back."No, but I want you to leave. Since I can't go to the mansion, you can't set foot here either, especially when you come thinking you can humiliate me.""Why don't you just be quiet..." he muttered angrily. "I've heard enough today, my stress is above the norm."Hanna then went to the kitchen and returned with a glass of water and a painkiller, placing them on the coffee table while he watched her every move."Drink! I want to discuss something importan
Chapter 56: A Woman Morgan LikesHanna had eagerly headed to the university. She was excited to see what had changed during the months she had been away from that place. Upon arrival, she felt good as she made her way there, wearing simple clothes and a hat on her head, covering her face and hiding her hair in a bun. She was thrilled to face those crowded corridors."Finally, right?" she heard the familiar voice waiting for her."Hi, Misaluna..." Hanna sighed excitedly, hugging her carefully."Where are you taking me? I want to live dangerously!" Misaluna asked eagerly."Forget that for a while. For now, I want to study," Hanna sighed apprehensively, but Misaluna felt a glimmer of hope."That's great! Your student loan has already been paid off too, I was surprised," Misaluna said."I thought you had something to do with it," Hanna frowned in confusion."No, I even tried, but they said it had already been paid. I asked if they had informed you, but they said no. So, I asked them to do
"How come they found someone to do the tests? Someone with the same disease as my brother?" Hanna asked, staring at them suspiciously. "What if it's dangerous? What if..."The doctor walked over to his desk, rummaging through a drawer, and brought out some papers. Hanna squinted for a moment, hoping it wasn't her brother. She would never allow incomplete testing on him.The professor handed her a copy of the patient's information. She examined it and felt relieved to see that it was a twenty-five-year-old man.She requested all the results from the new studies and began to study each report and note right then and there, pushing away the ghost of jealousy that surrounded her as she recalled the scene.Meanwhile, Morgan was in a pastry shop. It seemed he had a habit of taking women to cake shops. Misaluna ate her slice of cake with delight, as if it were a feast, while Morgan waited patiently for her to finish chewing."Are you going to tell me who is taking care of that boy?" he asked
