Chapter 1515
Rick immediately realized his mistake, “President Dixon, I’m sorry. I’ll make it right.”
Steven continued, “In this small town, we all know each other. Cops and crooks alike. No one wants things to escalate. The whole town would probably tell them to bury the hatchet. I’m worried my father– in–law won’t be able to handle the pressure.”
Rick replied, “Don’t worry, I’ve already got in touch with the right people. This won’t be swept under the rug. It’ll be handled by the book.”
Steven responded, “Alright.”
Rick said, “President Dixon, your accommodation has been arranged. Do you want to head back and rest?”
Even the best hotel in town was pretty basic, with a musty smell in the rooms. Rick wasn’t a fan, let alone Steven. Steven didn’t sleep well the night before. So, today Rick bought the best refurbished house in town, switched out the furniture to Steven’s liking, hoping he’d get a good night’s sleep.
Steven said, “I’m gonna sit here a while longer, you head back first.“e2
Rick replied, “President Dixon, ever since your wife’s accident, you haven’t had a good night’s sleep. If this keeps up, your health will definitely take a hit. How about! stick around while you go rest a bit?”
Steven glanced at him and said, “No need.”
Rick wanted to say more, but Steven interrupted, “I don’t want to hear you speaking. Keep your distance.”
Rick said, “Alright, I’ll leave.”
Steven said, “Have the doctors on standby. I’m worried about my brother–in–law’s injuries.”
Rick said, “President Dixon, you don’t need to personally handle these things.”
Steven waved him off, “Just go.”
He was overly worried, fearing something would happen to the Ableson family. He was scared something would happen to Hannah again. He couldn’t bear to hear about Hannah getting hurt.
As Rick turned to leave, he saw two figures emerge under the streetlight, “President Dixon, the two people coming over there look like Hannah and Jarvis.”
Steven also saw them, “Just go.”
Rick left immediately, not daring to linger a second longer. If his presence tipped off Hannah to Steven’s presence, Steven wouldn’t let him off the hook.
His luxury car parked at the village entrance was too conspicuous. So, to keep a low profile, Steven had an old van set up as a cover. No one would give it a second glance if they passed by it. It became the perfect cover for Steven.
Steven watched as Hannah and Jarvis walked towards his location and stopped by the car. Jarvis, with a smile, said, “I told you not to walk me out. Your foot’s not in a good shape. I should be walking you back.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Hannah replied, “I walk slow, so it’s okay. It’s getting late and it isn’t an easy route drive back into town. You should leave earlier.”
Jarvis sighed, “Hannah, I don’t know when we’ll meet again, or even whether we will. Can I hug you one more time?”
Steven stayed silent. He thought, Jarvis, this sly dog, was trying to take advantage of Hannah. Hannah should reject him. Just like she did with him.
But, Hannah didn’t reject him. Instead, she reached out and gave Jarvis a warm hug, Jarvis, thank you! Thank you for saving me when I was in danger. We may not be lovers, but I hope we can be good friends. If you ever need my help, just let me know.”
After holding Hannah tightly, Jarvis politely let her go, “Alright, I’ll remember your words. If I ever need help, I’ll definitely come to you.”
