Chapter 1432
Hannah asked. Do you think Iâm a pain in the neck?
Comelia patted her head gently, âWhat are you talking about? How could I ever find you annoying? If anything, Iâm worried that youâre not sharing your problems
with me.â
Feeling guilty, Hannahâs eyes welled up with tears. âWhen you wanted to start Girls United, I promoted it for you. I wanted every girl to find the courage to fight against their own pain. But when I faced these scary things myself and couldnât handle them, I realized how hard it is for ordinary girls.
tâs not that they donât want to stand up for themselves, but they feel powerless against the offenses they face. No one can help them. Theyâre scared that if they take a stand, they might get hurt even more, so they choose to stay silentâ
Comelia said, âThings arenât always as simple as they seem. We can help ordinary girls deal with the bad guys by using the law. But with people like Daniela, thereâs only so much we can do. The forces behind such people are much stronger than we imagine.â
Hannah seemed to half understand. She rubbed her head, looking utterly confused. âNellyâ¦
Comelia said, âWhat Iâm saying is, you canât underestimate yourself just because the enemy youâre facing is different from what ordinary girls encounter. Thereâs only one way for us to change the situationâ
Hannah asked Whatâs that?â
Comelia answered, âWe need to work hard to become stronger to make Girls United more influential so that we can help more women.â
Hannah asked âCan someone like me, who canât even control her own fate, participate in Girls Unitedâs activities?â
Comelia replied, âDonât be silly, what are you talking about? How many people in this world can truly control their own fate? Look, even someone as strong as Jeremy, he canât control his own fate eitherâ
Hannah suddenly saw the light. âYouâre right. Howâs his health?â
Comelia answered. Thereâs a slim chance of recovery, but as long as he keeps up with the treatment, there will be improvement.â
Hannah said, âYouâre so busy, and you still have to deal with my stuffâ
Comelia replied. Stop saying thatâ
Hannah agreed. âOkay okay.â
Comelia said. âHannah, actually Steven to youâ¦â
Before she could finish, Ayden hurried back with the test results. He said, âComelia, Dr. Lesterâs team has carefully studied it and confirmed the solution is safe.â
Hannah asked, âAre you sure thereâs no problem?â
Comelia replied. âWhat you want there to be a problem? You probably donât know this, but your building is on lockdown by Steven. No one can get in without his permission. Every time I come to see you, I have to go through a series of security checks. You have no idea how hard it is for me to see you.â
What was that annoying man Steven playing at? On one hand, he was all lovey-dovey with Daniela; on the other hand, he was keeping a tight grip on her. Did he want to have a harem? The more Hannah thought about it, the more annoyed she felt. She turned to Comelia again, âComelia, can I ask you for a favor?â
Comelia, âShoot.â
Hannah, âCould you help me find a way back to Riverton? I really canât stand this damn place anymore.â
