The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

After settling Bryson in, Hannah was about to leave when he gently grabbed her wrist.

Hannah turned to look at him.

Whats wrong? With a slight tug, Bryson pulled Hannah into his arms.

Dont you want to stay with me? Weve both been under a lot of stress Lately.

I dont think youve missed me much.

Hannah found his complaint amusing and cupped his handsome face.

Havent we been together this whole time? Bryson gazed at her, his eyes warm with a gentle smile.

That was just business.

Now, its our personal time.

At this, Hannah chuckled softly, her eyes shimmering with affection.

Alright then, personal time should definitely be spent on personal matters. By the way, Im a bit hungry.

What do you feel like eating? Ill have them bring up something for us.

Raising an eyebrow with a playful smirk, Bryson said, Actually, I suddenly have a craving for something youve cooked.

Recalling the meal theyd once shared back in Cadilind, Hannahs smile widened.

Id love to, but theres no kitchen here.

Once youre out of the hospital, Ill make you a proper meal.

Alright, he agreed with a satisfied nod.

Hannah brushed her hand along his cheek.

Rest up.

Im going to check on my father.

Bryson nodded.

Go ahead, but come back soon.noveldrama

When she arrived at Wallaces room, she found Keith and Trent by his side.

Seeing Hannah, they both stood up immediately.

Hannah! Youre alright! What a relief! Yes, Im fine, she reassured them with a small smile.

Hannah turned to her father.

Dad, you seem to be in much better spirits.

Wallace offered a wry smile.

But you look like youve lost weight.

It mustve been tough at Twilight Dimness, hasnt it? Settling into the chair beside his bed, Hannah sighed.

I made the mistake of trusting Peterson too much.

I never imagined hed be the one behind all this.

Wallaces gaze grew sharp, his eyes narrowing slightly. Peterson is not only scheming but also holds considerable power.

We need to be very cautious.

Hannah nodded, her expression serious.

But..

I never expected him to be so determined to restore the Moreno family.

What? Wallaces surprise was evident.

After listening intently as Hannah explained everything, Wallace sighed deeply.

He shook his head with a solemn look.

The Lyons familys actions were harsh.

Its no wonder Peterson would go to such lengths.

Though she understood her fathers reasoning, Hannah added, But he shouldnt harm innocent people.
