The man's face hardened, his gaze full of power as he looked at Hannah.
"Why do you speak to me this way? Do you feel that your dignity must be respected? You have nothing, and only I have the right to say anything about you," Alden continued.
Hannah swallowed her saliva.
What Alden said hit Hannah hard. But as if fingers snapped in Hannah's head, she realized that she had once said that her life was in Alden's hands. Even slaves in the past couldn't fight their masters.
Hannah's position wasn't much different, and if she expressed her feelings to Alden, she would surely be condemned. How disrespectful it might seem in Alden's mind for Hannah to behave so rudely.
"I'm sorry," Hannah said.
"What did you say?"
"I won't do it again. Is there anything else I can do, sir?"
Alden took a long breath. "No. Go get some rest. You have to work tomorrow."
"All right, sir."

They waited almost an hour for the elevator doors to open from the outside. A team of firefighters had arrived to help, and a crowd had gathered outside the elevator. The sight was something Hannah hadn't expected; so many people had worked hard to get her and Ashton out of there.Ashton helped Hannah out of the elevator, and applause erupted as the firefighters' efforts were acknowledged.Hannah's face flushed, caught between embarrassment and relief. It had been a terrifying experience, but being inside with Ashton had made everything feel normal and oddly okay."Is anyone hurt? Short of breath?" one of the paramedics asked.Ashton shook his head. "We're fine."When one of the paramedics realized that Hannah was pregnant, they immediately took her aside for a checkup. Ashton quickly followed, but one of the medics stopped him."We need to examine this lady first, sir," he told Ashton."I'm a doctor," Ashton said firmly.The p

Ashton arrived at Elizabeth's residence an hour before 7 p.m. When she saw him, Elizabeth's face lit up with joy."Oh, you finally came to visit the old lady," Elizabeth said warmly."Actually, I come by almost every day, but Hannah never lets me in," Ashton replied with a chuckle."Really?" Elizabeth laughed softly."Yeah, I think she's afraid I'll settle in and drink tea for too long."Elizabeth's laughter was hearty. "Oh, Ashton. You really do have a sense of humor."Ashton was invited in for the first time while waiting for Hannah to come out of her room. Elizabeth joined him in the living room."I didn't see your mother at the gala last night. I forgot to ask," Elizabeth said."She didn't attend. She's at an event on another continent," Ashton said with a shrug. "Mom's also working on a new project in your hometown—Summerhill, I suppose?"Elizabeth looked surprised. "Well, yes. Your mother mentioned it to me,

Throughout the gala, Ashton remained glued to Hannah's side, attracting the attention of many guests. Ashton's acquaintances became curious about Hannah, but he skillfully steered the conversation back to the doctors attending the event.As the evening became more casual, Elizabeth left to mingle, and Hannah became increasingly uncomfortable with Ashton's constant presence. She decided to retreat to her table, only to have Ashton follow and take a seat next to her."Ashton, why don't you mingle and talk to other people?" Hannah asked, her tone tinged with annoyance."I'm tired." Ashton picked up a champagne glass, drained it in one sip, and set it down. "I'd rather sit here with you.""Gloria will be angry again. Come on, leave me alone," Hannah muttered, halfheartedly shooing him away.Instead of walking away, Ashton propped his elbows on the table and rested his chin on his hands as he stared intently at Hannah. His smile widened, and the playful

"It's Gloria," Elizabeth whispered. "Oh, dear. Shall we just go back? I don't want to make you uncomfortable, Hannah."Hannah knew that Elizabeth had been looking forward to the event, so there was no way they would leave. She quickly shook her head firmly, not wanting to disappoint Elizabeth."This is the event you've been waiting for." Hannah smiled reassuringly. "Nothing to worry about, Elizabeth. Let's go inside."They entered the great hall after signing the guest book and presenting their invitation. The place was filled with upper-class members, their glamorous appearances dazzling under the chandeliers. Hannah looked for her table number, which wasn't far from the stage, although it was on the edge.Those who recognized Elizabeth greeted her warmly. Elizabeth introduced Hannah to these acquaintances, and their conversations lasted no more than four minutes before they returned to their respective tables, where the event was about to begin.
Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair 103. Too Much Attention
Gloria hadn't shown up at the clinic in a week, leaving Hannah relieved and suspicious. She couldn't help but worry that Gloria might suddenly show up and confront her. Hannah wanted nothing more than to avoid any trouble.To make matters worse, Ashton had been paying Hannah an unusual amount of attention. Even the other staff noticed how differently he treated her. This only made Hannah more anxious because she wanted to remain professional.But who could resist the constant attention?Every day after work, Ashton insisted on driving Hannah home, even going out of his way to return to the clinic for her when he was supposed to be at the hospital. It made Hannah uncomfortable.For example, when she was about to leave today, Ashton intercepted her."I'll drive you home," Ashton said, not caring if she agreed.Lora and Wendy, standing with Hannah, exchanged knowing smiles before leaving."See you tomorrow, Hannah," Lora said, waving goo

“Lower your voice, Gloria. There’s no need to make a scene,” Ashton said calmly.“But...” Gloria’s suspicious look turned to Hannah. “Are you trying to deceive me, hey Admin?”“Her name is Hannah,” Ashton corrected. “And no, she’s not deceiving you.”“She’s pregnant!” Gloria exclaimed, pointing to Hannah. “And married!”“Pregnant but divorced,” Ashton corrected again.Gloria stood there stunned, as did Hannah. Hannah felt as if her defenses had crumbled. The last thing she wanted was for Gloria to know the truth about her marital status. But Ashton had already revealed it. This was going to be a disaster!“Are you telling me she’s divorced and pregnant?” Gloria asked in disbelief.“Yes, I am,” Hannah spoke up this time.“We’ll talk about this later, Gloria. I’m s
