Foster looked at the bag she had put aside and didn't react like he did earlier.Joe stood aside, recalling the words the nurse had said during Foster's examination just now, feeling only a sense of alarm.Although he was not very clear about what had happened in the ward just now, he mostly guessed why Foster had pulled at his wound.Joe looked at the man lying on the hospital bed. In just a few days, Foster's face had become much thinner, his lips pale and his complexion lifeless. This car accident had dealt a heavy blow to Foster."Mr. Carroway, you should still listen to Ms. Howell. She hasn't been doing well these past few days. If you really can't let go of Ms. Howell, it would be much better to pursue her after things have settled down, wouldn't it?"Joe used to be afraid to say these words to Foster. Foster had his own ideas and didn't like to listen to others. As a secretary, he would never say these "persuasive" words.Foster didn't say anything, but he closed his eyes.Joe
Hannah returned to the ward and Foster was lying there, watching her walk in.It seemed like he guessed that she was about to leave, and his hands trembled by his side. "You're going to leave, aren't you?"Hannah picked up her handbag and glanced at him. "I'm going back now, take good care of yourself, and I wish you a speedy recovery."Upon hearing her words, Foster's face turned slightly pale. "Will you still come to see me tomorrow?"Hannah lowered her head, looking at her hand holding the bag, and said, "I won't come over anymore in the future."After saying that, she picked up her bag and left directly.Foster didn't call her this time, he just watched her back until Hannah had disappeared at the entrance of the ward, and he still didn't take his eyes off her.Joe watched from the side, wanting to speak but hesitating. However, in the end, he didn't say anything and could only pour a glass of warm water and walk over, saying, "Mr. Carroway, would you like some water?"I didn't dr
"Just because I took out a phone, why did you change your expression?"Jessica saw Hannah come out again, raised an eyebrow, looked at her, and felt strange.Hannah touched her chest and said, "I don't know why, but just now I suddenly felt a bit suffocated in my chest, it's hard to explain the discomfort.""Stomachache?"Hannah shook her head and said, "I haven't had a physical examination this year. I will go for one in a couple of days."Jessica glanced at her and said, "With such enthusiasm for staying up late, you really should have gone for a medical check-up."The two of them didn't continue talking about this small matter and quickly changed the topic.Mona brought over a watermelon, and the conversation among the three of them immediately shifted.Hannah returned to her own home, and it was already late.The dim living room, with the lights turned on, felt desolate.She didn't have this feeling before, anyway she spent most of her time playing outside.I don't know if it's be
Kendall didn't think of himself as a very passionate person, but he also didn't think of himself as someone who easily falls in love.He had liked Hannah for many years, but he was actually oblivious to it. Even after he realized it, he didn't immediately find Hannah, which clearly shows that his liking was still restrained.Now, bringing it up again, he also didn't want to categorize himself as someone who is deeply emotional.Of course, Hannah now says he is a player, but he naturally disagrees.Hannah was skeptical of his words, "You had three girlfriends that you posted on Instagram during college. Even though you weren't as immature after graduation, sometimes when you posted photos, the girl next to you would change after a while."Kendall touched her nose and said, "Some of them were just friends of the opposite sex.""Is that so? Do opposite-sex friends kiss?"Kendall also seemed innocent: "She suddenly kissed me, and I really didn't know. And it was just her, there was no oth
Hannah held a bunch of dolls and had some doubts about whether the doll machine had been tampered with. She didn't know.Otherwise, how could Kendall manage to grab it? She couldn't grab a single one, right?The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She simply decided not to think about it anymore. If she couldn't get it, then she couldn't get it. After all, she didn't rely on it for a living. She would just play with it occasionally.Hannah was not someone who liked to make things difficult for herself. With that in mind, she also didn't care if she could succeed or not.It's quite inconvenient to hold so many dolls in my hands. "Let's go back to the car first and put all these dolls away.""Okay."Kendall nodded, and he also had several in his hands, all of which he had picked up after watching the movie."I went there, I wanted to have a drink, and you helped me buy a cup. I put the doll in the car."Kendall glanced at her and asked, "Can you handle it?""Sure, why not
When the two of them entered the store, there were already quite a few people.Kendall took the umbrella and handed it to the waiter beside her, then followed Hannah inside.Hannah chose a seat by the window. This shop happened to be located by the street, and sitting in the seat by the window, she could see the passers-by coming and going.As soon as Hannah entered, she asked for the menu. It wasn't her first time eating Mexican cuisine, in fact, she could order without the menu.However, every store always has its own unique sign, so it's still worth taking a look.Hannah flipped through the menu but didn't find anything special. She directly handed the menu to Kendall and scanned the QR code next to her with her phone. "It seems like you can't handle spicy food, right?""You did care about me."Hannah rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know who it was, but someone ended up in the hospital just from eating a spicy snack."The two of them grew up together, and you could say they were
Mona was not surprised at all. She only became acquainted with Hannah after junior high school, when she was young and naturally couldn't see the constant arguments between Hannah and Kendall.Later in high school, she also had a crush on Kendall, and when she saw what Kendall did to Hannah, she vaguely understood something.She remembered in her sophomore year, she even told Hannah that Kendall might like her.Hannah's reaction was very strong, telling her not to make such jokes, she couldn't handle it.Not long after, it was heard that Kendall had a girlfriend, and Mona even briefly doubted if she had sensed something wrong.Later on, Kendall went abroad after studying in her home country for only two years. After going abroad, she also vaguely heard from mutual friends in the circle that Kendall had a girlfriend again. Mona no longer mentioned Kendall's feelings for Hannah.Five years ago, Kendall came over to this side of LA to find Hannah. She was quite surprised because at that
Hannah started the car and returned to the villa, paying no attention to Kendall: "There are guest rooms on the first floor, don't come up to find me unless it's necessary."This was Kendall's second time coming to Hannah's place. Last time, Kendall didn't stay for long before being chased away by Hannah.This time, I came over...Wasn't it a little better, at least he got to sleep in a guest room on the first floor, right?Hannah finished speaking and went upstairs. Kendall didn't feel like guessing what idea he had in mind, and he didn't have the patience to play with him either.Since he was coming to stay over, she decided to give him a guest room, as there were plenty of rooms in her house.As for the rest, he can dream on!However, she thought well, but reality turned out to be somewhat contrary to her wishes.Hannah had just played two rounds of King of Glory by herself when Kendall's phone rang."What's up?""Were you playing King of Glory?""Yeah, do you have any opinions?""
Hannah walked around downstairs and then went back up.Just as she arrived at the door of the ward, she heard Gemma say this.She pursed her lips and walked in as Gemma was about to speak again.Seeing her come in, Gemma naturally swallowed her words.Kendall cut the peeled apple into small pieces and handed them to Gemma with a small knife.Gemma glanced at Hannah and said, "Does Hannah want to eat grapes? There are still plenty of fruits in the fridge."All of them were brought by people who came to visit her, but she couldn't eat much. Most of them were given to the caregiver auntie."I'm not eating, Gemma. I didn't have much of an appetite today."She took an apple from Kendall's hand, sat on the edge of the bed, and started eating with her head down.Gemma looked at her, looked for a while, and suddenly called out to her, "Hannah.""What's wrong, Gemma?"Gemma took off the bracelet in her hand, took Kendall's hand, and put it inside her hand: "This was left to me by Kendall's gra
Hannah did sleep quite long this time, and when she woke up, it was already past ten o'clock.After burning all night, I woke up feeling tired and hungry.She furrowed her brow, got out of bed and pulled open the curtains, only to find that the sun was already shining brightly.Hannah took out her phone and checked the time.It was half past ten, did you sleep for so long?She felt uncomfortable with dry lips and a dry mouth, so she quickly went to the bathroom to freshen up, and then went downstairs to pour herself a glass of water to drink.Just as Hannah reached the halfway point of the stairs, she bumped into Georgia who was going up.Seeing that she woke up, Georgia quickly walked to her side and asked, "How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"Hannah shook her head, "I was a little thirsty."Although she was not feeling uncomfortable, her voice became hoarse and unclear as soon as she spoke.Georgia felt sorry and said, "I will pour it for you!"Hannah wanted to say no
Hannah came downstairs after taking a shower, and Kendall was already eating at the dining table.Georgia was cooking ginger soup in the kitchen. When she saw Hannah and Kendall coming down, she served two bowls of ginger soup. She gave one bowl to Hannah and the other to Kendall, saying, "Have some food to line your stomach, and then have a few sips of ginger soup to warm up."Hannah took a sip of soup and said, "Mom, how can I catch a cold so easily on such a hot day? The ginger soup also tastes too strong, I don't want to drink it."Georgia gave her a glare and said, "If it wasn't cold, you wouldn't have caught a cold, would you?"Hannah glanced at Kendall, not daring to refute Georgia's words.Finally, under the supervision of Georgia, they both still drank the ginger soup.After all the fuss, it was almost twelve o'clock now.Georgia and Jaylen couldn't hold on any longer, so they were told to go to their rooms and rest, with the advice to go to sleep early.After their parents l
"Wait, don't rush to speak. Let me finish first, don't make Kendall anxious by turning back."Hannah was about to hang up the phone when she heard Georgia's words, so she had to pick up the phone again. "Mom, how is Gemma doing specifically? Do we need to come back immediately?""She was doing fine for the time being, don't worry Kendall. The doctor suggested that she undergo surgery. Talk to Kendall and see if you can both make a trip back in the next few days.""Okay, hang up the phone now and take care of yourself.""Mom, you took care of yourself too, I knew it."After hanging up the phone, Hannah sent a message to Kendall on Line, asking if he was available at the moment and if so, to reply to her message.Just finished the dinner party, Kendall, walking halfway, glanced at the secretary in front and said, "You go wait for me in the car."The secretary saw him pick up his phone and make a call, nodded, and tactfully walked out of the hotel to find a driver.Kendall walked to one
Kendall took the box and didn't leave immediately, "Don't you want the beads either?"Hannah glanced at him and said, "What, you wanted it?""I had no interest in this."She hummed and said, "That's it."Hannah paused and said, "No, let's not have it. Otherwise, someone will get jealous, and the whole room will be filled with sourness."Kendall looked at her triumphant expression, raised his hand and directly wrapped it around her shoulder, pressing her into his arms. He lowered his head and fiercely kissed her unyielding mouth.He originally just wanted to give a kiss, but ended up getting a little carried away.The box in my hand fell directly to the ground with a "clatter" sound. The unsecured lid of the box was knocked open, and the bead inside rolled out onto the ground, dripping and ticking.Hannah took a glance and watched the bead rolling to the bottom of the coffee table. She shifted her gaze away and willingly embraced Kendall who was in front of her.The two of them became
After hanging up the phone, Hannah stood there for a moment before letting Sophia in.Today, there wasn't much work at the company, so Hannah basically slacked off.In comparison, a group of employees who were busy with offline activities were extremely busy.Hannah was looking around in the office, feeling quite embarrassed, so she decided to leave early.Kendall was also relatively free today, so I messaged her at noon, asking if she wanted to go out for dinner together.Hannah checked the time and it wasn't early, it was already five o'clock.She went downstairs and hailed a taxi to Harrington Group. The front desk at the lobby recognized Hannah and quickly brought her a glass of water when they saw her sitting on the couch. "Ms. Howell," they said."Thank you."Hannah glanced at the person, took out her phone, and sent a text message to Kendall.It was already 5:20 now, and she had just sent the message not long ago. Kendall replied to her, "Wait a moment, I'll come down in half a
When Kendall received the report, he glanced at Hannah, probably displeased with Gemma coming to see Hannah. His expression was somewhat indifferent.Hannah sat down on the side and waited for him to finish reading the report before communicating.Kendall opened the report, and her gaze fell on the words "malignant tumor." Her eyes noticeably darkened.The living room, where no one was speaking, was so quiet that the sound of their breathing could be heard. Hannah pursed her lips and was about to speak when Kendall turned his head towards her and said, "Why did she give you this?"Hannah roughly translated Gemma's words from yesterday, saying, "It wasn't anything major, she originally told me not to tell you about this, and then she said, 'I hope when we get married, she can come and see it in person.'"Hannah couldn't figure out what Kendall thought of Gemma, and she didn't feel comfortable giving advice on such matters.Without experiencing hardships themselves, one should not advis
Gemma had liver cancer, and it was already in the fourth stage.Hannah felt that Gemma was now throwing this difficult problem at her. She told her not to tell Kendall, but how could she possibly not tell him.The originally good mood was ruined by Gemma's sudden appearance.Hannah neatly stacked the report cards and set them aside before bringing the takeout to the kitchen counter.Hannah had a poor appetite, she only took a few bites and closed it, then she carried a glass of water upstairs.At half past nine, Kendall gave her a voice call.Hannah hesitated on whether to tell Kendall about this now or wait until he came back.She was thinking about something and couldn't hear what Kendall said on the phone."Hannah? Hannah?"Kendall looked at the person on the phone screen and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Hannah?"He shouted again.At that moment, Hannah finally came to her senses.She looked at Kendall on the phone screen with a complex expression and asked, "When can you c
It had been over half a month since that day, and Hannah was quite surprised to see Madelynn again.She didn't pay special attention to Madelynn's affairs, but her situation was really making a big fuss. People in the circle would occasionally discuss it, and she couldn't help but overhear.A few days ago, Hollis said that Madelynn's dad was suspended, Madelynn broke up with Derick, and she disappeared for a while, and no one knew where she went.I never thought I would meet you today.There was also a man standing next to Madelynn, Hannah looked at him and he seemed unfamiliar, he probably wasn't someone from their circle.Hannah didn't say hello either, she just glanced and then looked away.She handed the coat she had taken off to Kendall, who took it and led her again. The two of them walked out directly.Madelynn turned around and glanced at Hannah's back. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to speak up and called out to her, "Ms. Howell."Hannah paused, turned back, and l
