Chapter 1424
He chuckled lightly. âYou little rascal. I thought you were reallyâ¦â
Hannah interrupted him, âThis Christmas, Jarvis and I would like to invite you, your wife, and your baby for dinner.â
Justin responded, âSure. Christmas is not that far off. You should focus on recovering soon.â
Hannah said, âThe doctors say Iâm recovering well. Iâll have all my casts off by this afternoon, and with a bit more rest, Iâll be able to
walk.â
Justin said, âThis little Salazar girl has been a gutsy one since childhood. Glad youâre okay, otherwiseâ¦â
Hannah asked, âOkay?â
To them, no matter how severe her injuries, as long as she was alive, everything was okay. But for Daniela, as long as someone cared about her, even a small scar was a big deal.
People were like that, and comparing only made them uncomfortable.
okay
Justin said, âYou silly kid, I meant youâre okay now.â
Hannah responded, âYes, I believe thereâs a saying, good luck is due after a brush with death.â
Justin said, âDefinitely.â
Hannah said, âDr. Terrel, itâs getting late, looks like itâs going to rain soon. You better head home and spend some time with your wife and child. I need to rest.â
Justin responded, âOkay, Iâll leave now and will visit you when I have time.â
Hannah said, âHave a safe journey home. Iâm not in a position to see you off. Once Iâve recovered, Iâll properly entertain your family.â
Justin responded, âAlright.â
Upon leaving the ward, Steven stopped Justin. âSo, how is it?â
Justin looked at Stevenâs trembling hand and sighed deeply. âIf I knew this would happen, I would never haveâ¦â
Steven asked, âIâm asking you, how is she now?â
Justin answered, âHannah is recovering well, her leg is also gradually healing, and sheâs in a good/mental state, not at all depressed about not being able to walk for the moment.â
Steven coldly stared at him. âYou know thatâs not what Iâm asking.â
Justin continued, âI canât tell whether Hannah has really forgotten you from our conversation. All I know is that she doesnât seem to want you in her life anymore.â
Steven raised his hand and punched the wall hard. His knuckles bled instantly, but he seemed oblivious to the pain. âCanât you even see that?â
Justin repeated, âIf I knew this would happen, I would never haveâ¦â
Steven fell silent.
Justin said, âLetâs find a place to sit down and chat over coffee.â Heâd just spent over ten hours on a plane and was so exhausted that he planned to sleep for a day and a night when he got home. He didnât expect to be whisked to the hospital as soon as he got off the plane.
He came to help and didnât even get a glass of water. His profession was all about talking.
Steven said, âFollow me.â
Steven had been keeping Hannah company at the hospital for a month. He had a lounge next door.
Justin said, âSteven, Iâm a few years older than you. Iâve watched you grow up. Youâve never been a stubborn person. Why are you so relentless with this?â
Steven kept silent.
Justin continued, âIf you donât know how to love someone, you should learn from your good friend President Hartley. Look at how he treats his partner. Thatâs real love. The way you treat Hannah is not love, itâs selfish and domineering. You lack humanity.â
