Chapter 68: Ineffectual FightsShe tried once again to slap Hanna. Morgan, apprehensive, thought about intervening when Liara, raising her hand, dared to try to hit Hanna. But Hanna's determined look, as she firmly grabbed Liara's wrist, made him admire her. Since when did she defend herself with such firmness?"I will not allow you to dare to touch me again, nor let your daughter incriminate me with things I didn't do! Don't think I'm that nice, Mrs. Liara!" Hanna asserted, then aggressively released Liara's hand."Your days in this mansion are numbered!" Liara shouted, this time lunging to grab Hanna's hair. Hanna pushed her, but not hard enough for Liara to fall. Even so, the woman threw herself dramatically on the floor, and Hanna laughed at how similar she was to Maya. Suddenly, Liara began to fake crying and screaming for help.Soon, Maya and Morgan's mother were there in the hallway. Liara was reenacting the same scene that had happened with Maya, and Hanna could hardly contain
**Chapter 69: What Changed Inside Me?Leaving the office, Morgan hesitated upon seeing Hanna’s ring box. After a few seconds of contemplation, he surrendered and took it with him.Cautiously, Hanna walked down the hallway of rooms until she reached her own. Upon entering, she found Misaluna already holding a bag.“Did you buy it?” Hanna asked anxiously.“Actually, my security guards took care of it. It would have been too much effort for me, and I must confess I haven't been feeling well these days,” Misaluna explained, showing the red circles under her eyes and the exhaustion on her face.“Thank you, Misa. I know how complicated this is for you. But soon we will have positive results with your treatment,” Hanna reassured her.“Hanna… you’re an angel,” Misaluna said, her voice choked with emotion. She knew how much her friend pinned her hopes on her and how short the time could be.“You are the angel...” Hanna sighed, thoughtfully, as her thoughts turned to Morgan and his relationship
**Chapter 70: Jealous, Me?**"Morgan?" Murilo stared at him, surprised. "What are you doing here?""As if you didn’t know I’m one of the sponsors of this place," Morgan replied, his eyes fixed on Hanna, who kept her head down. "I need to talk to the lady in charge of the research," he announced. Murilo looked at Hanna, apprehensive, noticing her nervous state."Okay… I’ll wait," he said, intending to sit in one of the chairs."Matters that occur in this laboratory are restricted to authorized personnel. As far as I know, you are not part of this lab," Morgan retorted, with a severe tone.Hanna lifted her face, looking Murilo in the eyes, and smiled. "You can go, I’ll be fine," she replied, her voice shaky. He approached her, looking at her apprehensively.Morgan nearly had a fit when Murilo took one of Hanna’s hands and kissed the back of it in a courteous greeting, showing the respect he had for her. Morgan’s hands trembled, and he smiled incredulously when Murilo passed by him and l
Chapter 71: ResentmentAfter the doctor received his instructions, Morgan was visited by Oliver and Gantz. Upon seeing the two men enter, he merely grunted, displaying his dissatisfaction. As if that wasn't enough, there was Liara once again to bother him. She didn't even bother to knock. Morgan simply leaned back, resting his head on the armchair, showing his boredom."We'll come back later," Oliver announced, and they quickly left the office.With a mysterious look, she stared at Morgan harshly, approaching his desk."Well... you, more than anyone, know that it will be the anniversary of my daughter's death," she said, intertwining her fingers in front of her body and maintaining an upright posture. "It will also be your birthday, but that doesn't matter. Are you going to make a memorial?""There will be nothing!" Morgan asserted with a cold gaze. Liara raised her eyebrows, giving a bitter smile."Don't think you can put my daughter's death in the past just because you found this Da
Chapter 72: No DrinksMorgan pulled her back into the office and locked the door, the sound echoing through the hallway and attracting Liara's attention. She left her room to investigate. Approaching the broken wine glass on the floor, she looked at the shards with a look of disdain."Drowning yourself in alcohol again as if it would solve your problems!" she muttered under her breath, her voice laden with resentment.The sounds of objects falling inside the office reached her ears as Hanna tried to free herself from Morgan, who now had her pinned against the wall. However, Liara was not interested in what was happening. The sight of Morgan, always venting his anger through drinking, was something familiar and tiresome. Unbothered, she returned to her room, leaving the couple to their own dramas."Give it back to me," Morgan panted, releasing Hanna when he saw Liara's shadow retreat."Why do you do this?" she asked, catching her breath and looking at him with annoyance."Give it back
Chapter 73: What Are You Hiding?She mumbled uncomfortably, Morgan’s eyes amused as he slid his hands down her thigh, squeezing firmly. "What do you think you’re doing?" she asked, standing up to get off him."You said you’d stay," he protested, pulling her back."But you seem to be taking it in a more complex direction," she confessed, lowering her head in embarrassment.Morgan had suspected her behavior, but at that moment, he realized he was wrong."I just want to touch you... now that I have your confirmation," he said with desire, his voice husky and filled with passion. His jawline tightened as he approached her, their lips meeting in a calm kiss that intensified with Morgan’s growing desire. Only he knew the dark desires running through his veins as he touched her, his hands roaming her body, squeezing every part. As the kiss ended, he looked at her fiercely with a mischievous smile. "I’ll cross the line I created soon enough," he whispered, as Hanna swallowed hard."Anyway..."
**Chapter 74: Does She Discover or Not?**Hanna's only option at that moment was to ask Morgan—but she was apprehensive about facing him. So, she dressed in loose clothing: sweatpants, a large jacket, and a cap that partially hid her face. As she left, Oliver couldn't tell if it was Hanna or Danica; after all, he hadn't seen her arrive. Now, he was observing what seemed to be Danica leaving Hanna's annex. This confused the minds of the two men. Without hesitation, they followed Hanna.She took a different path than usual, hurrying toward the hospital where her brother was admitted."What could she be doing here?" Oliver wondered, watching her run through the corridors in search of the doctor.At that same moment, at his home, Morgan sent a message to the doctor, informing him about the patient's sister's arrival. Before receiving confirmation, Morgan was on a call with Hanna's professor, Dr. Johnson./ "What do you want me to do?" asked Professor Johnson, confused./ "I need you to d
Chapter 75: Confusing FeelingsThe doctor attended to Dr. Johnson quickly after Morgan left the hospital, upset once again for having missed the elusive Irma de Haniel."Doctor, be honest," Dr. Johnson said firmly. "I haven't been keeping up with the patient's progress. How is he?""Well... what I have to tell you won't be a problem," the doctor sighed, leaving the professor speechless. "He had a cardiac arrest and is going through a difficult period...""So, is he going to die?" Dr. Johnson asked tensely."No, he's already out of danger. We're just making sure he doesn't get an infection while he's in this delicate period due to his illness. Even so... he's under observation because he could relapse.""And the expenses?" Dr. Johnson inquired worriedly."Ah... that..." the doctor hesitated."Morgan has been investing and covering everything, really everything! So there's nothing to worry about.""Are you telling the truth?" he asked anxiously.When the doctor confirmed, Dr. Johnson en
