Chapter 1428
“Seems like it’s Miss Daniela. Probably flirting with President Dixon and lost track of time,” the nurse said as she put
away the used IV bag, giving Hannah a smile. “Don’t worry too much, Miss Hannah. President Dixon will come to
keep you company once he’s done with Miss Daniela. It’s been like this every day for the past
month.”
“Okay,” Hannah replied indifferently. “You can go now.”
“Alright.”
After the nurse left, Hannah pulled out the needle from her arm.
Something was definitely off about that nurse. Since Hannah woke up, she’d had two checks and two medication
changes, all done by two medical staff who barely spoke during the process.
When Hannah asked questions, the staff only gave brief answers. But this nurse sure did talk a lot. She seemed

Hannah wanted to escape, but she couldn’t. Her legs were still in casts. She couldn’t even get out of bed.
She looked for her phone and found a similar model on the bedside table. Only it looked much newer. She wasn’t
sure if it was meant for her. She tried her usual unlock code, and it worked.
Not only did the phone unlock, but it also had all her apps, photos, and everything else from her original phone. It
seemed like her old phone got damaged in the accident, and whoever prepared this new one had transferred all
her data into it.
Hannah didn’t trust Steven. She didn’t even have basic mobility. The only person she trusted was Cornelia. “Nelly, I
think I’m in danger. Come save me…”
Cornelia, “Hannah, don’t be scared. I’m coming to save you.”
Hannah, “Nelly, hurry up. If you’re late, I might not make it.”
Cornelia, “Okay. I’live nearby, I’ll be there soon.”
Hearing that Cornelia was just around the corner put Hannah at ease. “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
At the time of Hannah’s call, Cornelia was working on a new comic.
Jeremy was sitting next to her with Hope in his arms. Hope was very well-behaved, seeming to understand that her
mommy needed silence when drawing, so she stayed quiet in her daddy’s arms, looking adorable.
Because Hannah had been in a coma after the accident, Cornelia hadn’t returned to Riverton after being
discharged from the hospital. Instead, she stayed in Harbor City, waiting for Hannah to wake up.
Hearing Hannah was in danger, the usually calm Cornelia panicked. “Jeremy, you stay home with Hope. Hannah’s in
danger, and I need to get to the hospital.”
She was so anxious that she dropped her paintbrush and was ready to leave. Jeremy quickly stopped her. “Steven’s
at the hospital. Let me call him first to check on the situation.”
Cornelia, “Okay, you do that. I’m going to the hospital.”
Jeremy, “What I was trying to say is, with Steven there, Hannah should be fine.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia, “Who knows for sure? Before Hannah’s accident, didn’t Steven arrange for people to protect her? She still
had a car accident and nearly lost her life.”
Jeremy, “I’ll have Patricia watch Hope, and I’ll go with you.”
Cornelia, “I’ll have Ayden come with me. You stay home. Your health isn’t good, and you can’t be running around.”
With Ayden coming along, Jeremy felt reassured. “Okay.”
Cornelia quickly changed her clothes and shoes. Before leaving, she saw Jeremy’s anxious expression. She hugged
him and gave him a quick kiss.
Seeing Hope in Jeremy’s arms, staring at her with wide eyes, she kissed Hope too. “Son, you and Daddy stay home.
Mommy will be back once everything’s sorted
out.”
With that, she left.
As soon as she did, Jeremy dialed Steven’s number. “Comelia’s heading to the hospital to see Hannah. There might
be danger. Stay alert and make sure she’s absolutely safe.
