126. Unfinished Business
Last Updated:
2025-08-09 03:00:31A few months had passed without news of Ashton, and Hannah longed for the doctor. But she forced herself to push those feelings aside and focus on her work. Besides, she was now in her seventh month of pregnancy, and fatigue and sleepiness were becoming more common.
The rumors about the hospital had finally died down, making Hannah's work much more comfortable. She was grateful for the peaceful environment she had longed for. Even Candace and Kimberly weren't too nosy, which made their working atmosphere pleasant—at least for Hannah.
"Hannah, are you coming to the office event this Sunday?" Candace asked.
A gathering was planned, but attendance wasn't mandatory. Hannah wanted to rest that day after church and lie down all day.
She shook her head. "I don't think so, Candace. That won't be a problem, will it?"
"Well, it's fine. But Kimberly won't be coming either because she's on vacation. So that means I'll be the only one from our department?

The first thing Hannah saw was a blurry image of Ashton, a faint smile forming on her lips."Ashton," she whispered.Ashton, who had been at Hannah's side the entire time, immediately grabbed her hand, his eyes glistening with emotion. Seeing Hannah wake up again was the moment he had been waiting for."Hey, Hannah. I'm here," Ashton replied."My head...""Don't push yourself. Just take your time."Hannah blinked a few times, realizing she was in a hospital. Then, the memory of being in Elizabeth's apartment came back. Her hand instinctively went to her now almost flat stomach."My baby!" Hannah's hoarse voice cried out.Ashton held her back as she tried to sit up, a small smile appearing on his face."Your baby is fine. He's sleeping right now, and he looks just like you.""What?" Hannah stared at Ashton in disbelief. "Is it a boy or a girl?""A boy," Ashton replied.Tears streamed down Hannah's che

Alden jerked awake, half shouting, "Hannah!"It took him a split second to realize that what he had just experienced was a dream. For a moment, Alden sat silently, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead and temples. The dream wasn't frightening, but it was disturbing.In the dream, Alden saw Hannah holding a baby beside another man. He tried calling her, but Hannah didn't hear him. And when Alden tried to run after her, his feet felt unbearably heavy."It's only a dream," he whispered.Alden got out of bed and checked his phone. It was 5 a.m. Sarah had sent a few new messages not long ago. She said she was ready and waiting for him.A long sigh escaped Alden's lips. He just wanted to stay home, but a promise was a promise. He had to meet Sarah.He quickly went to the bathroom, freshened up, and changed into clean clothes. Then he grabbed his duffel bag, packed a few sets of clothes, and finished getting ready. As he stepped out of his r
Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair 130. A Mother's Fight
Even though Victoria explained that Hannah was not necessarily guilty and that placing her on leave was just a procedure, Hannah could not feel at ease. Fear and confusion consumed her as she wondered how the money could have gone missing.She wanted to talk to Candace, but her coworker wouldn't return her messages or phone calls."Hannah, don't stay like this. Victoria is looking into this," Elizabeth said.Hannah, sitting across from Elizabeth, just nodded. Her face looked pale. She hadn't slept well last night and had skipped breakfast this morning.Even now, she had no appetite, and Elizabeth had to force her to eat lunch.Seeing Hannah so restless worried Elizabeth. Especially since Hannah had trouble eating and often vomited after meals."Hannah? Are you okay, dear?" Elizabeth asked.Hannah forced herself to take a bite from the spoon. "Yes, I'm fine."Elizabeth looked at her uncertainly. "If you're not feeling well, take
Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair 129. Victoria's Decision
Victoria arrived at Elizabeth's apartment an hour after Hannah returned. She wasn't surprised to see her son there, but Victoria wasn't one to drag things out or engage in small talk.She got right to the point as soon as she sat on the sofa."There's nothing wrong with the financial statements or the transferred funds, Hannah," Victoria said.Hannah nodded nervously. "That's a relief.""But some cash is missing from the vault."Hannah tensed again. She was sure the money in the safe was intact—Candace had even witnessed it."But Candace and I counted it. The amount was the same as every other day," Hannah said. "On Friday, Candace and I counted it all.""Candace says differently. She said she didn't get a chance to count it and left it up to you. She even admitted that she forgot to check the reports."How could Candace say something completely different? Hannah was sure that they had counted together. Unfortunately, the

A warm cup of tea rested in Hannah's hand as she stared at her reflection in the water. Her tired face was clearly visible, with dark circles under her eyes.Ashton sat across from Hannah in silence, allowing Hannah to release her emotions until she calmed down. Seeing her cry broke Ashton to pieces, yet there was something heartbreakingly beautiful about the way she cried.Hannah cried softly, so fragile that it made Ashton want to hold her forever. He wanted to protect her from anyone who would dare hurt her."Are you okay?" Ashton asked carefully.Hannah gave a weak nod. "I think so.""Who do I need to take care of so they don't bother you again?""What?" Hannah stared at him."I don't want to see you crying," Ashton admitted. "It makes me sad."A sigh escaped Hannah's lips. "I'm sorry.""Why should you apologize?""It's just..." Hannah hesitated. "I don't even know what's going on, but suddenly, everyone's acc

"Hannah," Kimberly called as she entered the office. "Can we talk for a minute?"Hannah, who was busy checking her remaining work, nodded."In Mrs. Victoria's office," Kimberly added.Hannah furrowed her brow. "Sure."Although she found it odd that Victoria would suddenly want to see her, Hannah didn't suspect a thing. She followed Kimberly into Victoria's office. But as they walked down the corridor, the employees they passed began whispering to each other.Hannah felt uneasy. What was going on?Kimberly knocked on Victoria's office door, and they heard a voice from inside telling them to enter. Stepping inside, Hannah looked around—it was her first time in Victoria's office. The room was elegant and cozy, with a large window on the grounds. Victoria gestured for her to sit on the sofa, then picked up a report from her desk before taking a seat herself."Hannah, I was just talking to Kimberly about last week's financial report
