Chapter 1452
Jeo raised his hand and took a few steps around. âLook at me, Iâm totally fine now.â
Hannah replied, âThatâs good to hear. After I get discharged, I might not be able to work for a while. Iâll hang out with you guys in the Capital then.â

Jeo responded, âSounds good. Iâve always wanted to visit the Capital, but your mom is always too stingy to spend the money.â
Hannah said, âThe money I send you each month is meant for you to spend freely, you donât need to save it.â
At this, Jeo got really excited. âYour mom hasnât spent a cent of the money you send. Sheâs saved it all. She says itâs tough for a girl like you out there and youâll definitely need money sometimes. So she saved your money to give you a safety netâ¦â
Hannah had no idea about this. She said, âDad, Iâm richer than you think, so use the money if you need it. Donât worry about saving for me. Iâll plan for my future, and you donât need to worry.â
Jeo replied, âThereâs no parent who doesnât worry for their child. Your mom also saidâ¦â
âJeo, have you lost your mind? I told you not to say anything and you blurted out everything!â Pandora rushed in, scolding Jeo.
Jeo meekly responded, âIf I donât say it, how would Hannah know weâve been saving for her? How could she feel secure if she doesnât know?â
Pandora said, âI told you not to tell her.â
Jeo said, âYouâre really aggressive.â
Pandora asked, âWhat did you say? Say that again, I dare you.â
Jeo fell silent.
Watching her parentsâ bickering, Hannah felt amused. âMom, I love you! Dad, I love you too!â
Jeo responded, âI love you too, Hannah.â
Pandora felt incredibly happy at Hannahâs sudden declaration of love, but retorted, âWhen did you two get so cheesy? Arenât you grossed out?â
Hannah knew her mother always spoke harshly but had a soft heart. She touched her stomach and said in a pitiful tone, âMom, Iâm hungry.â
Pandora replied, âWeâll make do with something tonight. Tomorrow your dad will cook for you.â
Hannah said, âI want to eat all the delicious food you makeâ¦and the desserts Dad makes.â
Jeo rubbed her head and said, âOkay, Iâll make dessert for you tomorrow. You loved them when you were little. After you started working, I never saw you eat them again. I thought you didnât like them anymore.â
Hannah replied, âIâve always loved them.â
It was just because of her job she needed to maintain her figure, so she couldnât dare to touch these high sugar, high calorie foods. If she took a bite, sheâd have to spend a lot of time losing weight.
She earned a lot in her career and it seemed glamorous. But to families like the Dixonâs and the Salazarâs, she was just an actress for their entertainment. They could all determine her fate.
Pandora said, âI donât trust takeout. Jeo, you stay here with her. Iâll go out and find a clean restaurant to buy some dinner.â
Jeo said, âMaybe you should stay with Hannah and Iâll go.â
Pandora replied, âYouâre not in the best health and you have a bad sense of direction. What if you get lost? Just stay here with our daughter. Iâll be back soon.â
Just then, Steven came over pushing a cart. The cart was filled with all sorts of food. He said cheerfully, as if nothing had happened earlier, âYouâve travelled a long way, Iâm sorry I couldnât host you outside. So I had some food prepared and brought here. Hope you like
it.â
