Chapter 69
After lunch, I pulled Hannah to the sofa and sat down. With a serious look on her face, I asked, “Hannah, do you want to know my situation these years and the baby in my belly…”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“This is your privacy. If you want to say it, I’m willing to listen. If you feel it’s not convenient to say it, I respect you.” She said thoughtfully.
“I married a rich man before, but he was sick and passed away. He left everything to me.” I briefly explained the source of my wealth.
“Do you love him very much?”
I shook my head slightly. “We are not in love.”
Hearing this, she didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, she reached out and hugged me. “I’ll take care of you from now on.”
“Can you take care of me?”
“No, but I don’t mind learning how to take care of people.”
Edmund’s POV
I haven’t got any news about Leanna for a month.
She was like a drop of water, disappearing from the world all of a sudden.
But I won’t give up until I find her.
Things turned better soon. Something happened to the Fisher group, so I had a meal with Myrna and Royston. He reminded me of Leanna’s whereabouts.
After returning home, I went straight to Oarlan’s office. “Put down your work.”
Oarlan immediately raised her head and stood up from the chair. “President, what can I do for you?”
“Have you been looking for Leanna in City Y these days?”.
“I’ve sent people to look for her in the nearby cities, but they haven’t found her yet. all the major cities in the country have hired private detectives to investigate her. However, there’s still no news.”
“We don’t have to look for her at home for the time being. Find out the information about Leanna’s sister Hannah and send it to my phone.”
“Leanna’s sister?” Hearing this, Oarlan seemed to understand something. “You mean that Leanna might have gone to England to look for her sister?”
“It’s very likely that Hannah is the only person she can trust and rely on in the world. If she wants to disappear, she has to go to find Hannah.” I should have thought of this earlier. I was so worried about Leanna that I even forgot the basic clue.
Oarlan also thought it was highly possible, so he said, “Okay, I’ll have someone find out all the information about Hannah.”
Leanna’s POV
After living in the club for a few days, I have moved into the villa left by Eugene.
My baby is six months old now.
Three months later, the baby’s due date came.
Hannah has given me a full maternity check-up and made an appointment with the obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the private hospital where she works.
This afternoon, I went to the supermarket with the newly hired maid to buy some baby products.
After shopping around, I bought a lot of things. My belly is big and my body is heavy. Besides, I’m pregnant, so it’s easy for me to go to the bathroom.
So I stopped at the gate of a club near the supermarket and went to a cafe on the first floor to have afternoon tea.
After the servant went in and ordered the food, I went to the bathroom first.
When I came out of the bathroom, I was about to sit down in the cafe to drink something, but I saw a familiar figure outside the French window, accompanied by his assistant, dragging his suitcase. As soon as he got out of the car, he was about to walk into the club.
Why was she here?
My first reaction was shock, and then immediately became nervous.
Has my position been exposed?
Myrna is here, does that meas that Edmund is also in London?
Thinking of this, I was no longer in the mood to rest. I called the servant, walked out of the cafe
Edmund’s POV
I just finished the meeting and went back to my office. I saw a folder on my desk.
I opened the folder, took out the document and looked through it for a few times. Then i took out my phone and dialed Oarlan’s number.
Oarlan arrived at the office soon. “Mr. President, do you have any clue about Leanna?”
“Arrange a private plane to London. You go to the airport now.” I said with a long face.
“London? Is Leanna in London?” Oarlan immediately understood. But soon, he frowned and looked at me. “Mr. President, aren’t you going to go there in person?”
“In person?” I sneered. I’m afraid I can’t bring her back by myself.
This damn woman dared to sneak away with Eugene’s bastard. I have to think about how to punish her after I take her back!
“Then I’ll go to the airport right now.”
“Bring her back. Do you know what to do if she refuses?” I said in a low voice.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then he said, “I know that Leanna has a sister there, right?”
I nodded with satisfaction. I know Leanna’s weakness too well.
All her life, she was a person who would only be exhausted by her family.
Hannah’s POV
At eight o’clock in the morning, as a night shift doctor, I just finished my work and was about to go home.
But when I walked out of the hospital, i was stopped by a man in suit.
“Excuse me, are you Miss Hannah?” The man looked at me and asked.
I looked him up and down and asked calmly, “who are you?”
The man took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to me. “I’m Oarlan, the assistant of Mr. Edmund. Under the order of Mr. Edmund, I’m here to pick up your sister from London.”
“Oarlan? You’re late. My sister left London the day before yesterday.”
“She left? Why? Where did she go?” He looked at me in surprise and asked.
“Don’t you know why she left?” I crumpled his business card into a ball and threw it into the trash can. “My sister has decided to make a clean break with the King family. Please don’t look for her anymore. Even if you find her, she won’t go back with you.”
“Miss Hannah, I think you still don’t know one thing. Your sister is pregnant with the King family’s child, and the King family won’t let the child wander outside anyway…”
“Oh? Really? Then you can go and find her. If you can find her, take her back.” I raised my eyebrows.
“You…”
“If you don’t have anything else, I’ll go first.” As I spoke, I stretched myself and walked out. After only two steps, I stopped and looked at Oarlan who was standing still. “By the way, I’m living in my brother-in-law’s villa now. Do you want to go with me? Maybe my sister will be there. But I think you should have looked for her there before you came here. If I were you, I would go back. Why should I look for someone who doesn’t want to see you?”
“No matter where she hides, Mr. Edmund will find her.” He looked at me coldly.
“Then tell your Mr. Edmund to give up this idea. As long as I’m here, I won’t let him find my sister.”
“Do you think you are doing this for the sake of Leanna?”
“I don’t know what happened to her in City Y, but since she wants to hide from you, it can be seen that she doesn’t live well in the King family. I don’t have any other relatives. I only have this sister. I will try my best to protect her.”
“Don’t you think about your parents? After Leanna left, your parents in City Y would have a hard time.” There was a hint of threat in his words.
I laughed, “then let them die. It’s a waste for such a person to live in this world.”
“Miss Hannah, you are a doctor. How could a doctor say something like that?” He looked at me in shock.
“What? Are you surprised? Do you think I will care about those two irresponsible people like my sister? Go back and tell your boss that he can’t threaten me.”
“Do you know the consequences of going against the King family? Aren’t you afraid that you can’t even be a doctor?”
“Haha… If you have any way to make me unable to be a doctor, just hurry up. I’m too tired from this job.” I stopped talking nonsense with him and strode forward.
