The bedroom door opened from the outside while Hannah lay on the bed. Alden rushed in, visibly anxious. Without a word, he hugged Hannah tightly, showering her with kisses. Hannah only smiled faintly and stroked her husband’s cheek.
“Edward told me you had to be picked up by the driver. He said you weren’t feeling well. Why didn’t you tell me, Hannah? If it wasn’t for Edward, I wouldn’t have known anything,” Alden rambled.
“Hm… why couldn’t Edward keep his mouth shut,” Hannah sighed softly. “I’m fine, just a little tired.”
“We’re going to the hospital now.”
Hannah shook her head, locking her gaze on Alden.
“I just need to go to bed earlier. Really, don’t worry about me,” Hannah whispered.
Alden stared back profoundly. He didn’t like how Hannah always downplayed her own health. But the more he insisted, the more likel

That afternoon, Hannah had just finished a meeting with her employees, and she looked much better in Susan and Bernard's eyes. Hannah was more focused, although her expression still showed traces of sadness. However, Susan didn't dare ask questions, fearing it might add to Hannah's burden. Unless, of course, Hannah chose to share on her own."Are you heading home now or staying until evening?" Susan asked as she entered Hannah's office. "It's Friday, Hannah. You should spend the weekend with your husband."Hannah chuckled softly. "Okay, I'm almost done."Hannah quickly clicked her mouse, sent an email, and shut down her computer."What are you doing this weekend, Susan?" Hannah asked."Going on a date with my couch."They both laughed together."Hey, how about you come over for lunch sometime?" Hannah suggested."Your house or your husband's?""Ah, both... whichever you prefer. We can do it this weekend if you like."
Aspen boldly visited Sarah's residence early in the morning before work hours. However, she couldn't search for Sarah at Giantic or Goldtime, as she might run into Alden.Upon arrival, Aspen was not welcomed at Sarah's house. Security stopped her, but Aspen insisted that she had important information for Sarah. Eventually, Aspen was allowed to enter the house.Sarah met Aspen in the dining room, and Aspen was left standing while Sarah continued to enjoy her breakfast. Aspen was genuinely annoyed by Sarah's indifferent attitude, but she had to be patient if she wanted to collaborate."I don't know who you are, but you mentioned Alden's name," Sarah said. "So what do you want from me?""You must know Hannah, Alden's wife."Sarah glanced sharply. "Yes.""I'm Hannah's stepsister, who was supposed to marry Alden first."Sarah was startled but tried to control her emotions and remained cold. She placed her fork on her plate, carefully wiped
"Hannah, please," Kenneth pleaded."You think I can hold out and just leave your sister alone? What happened in the past wasn't all Alden's fault.""I will try to control Sarah, but I also ask for your patience.""Okay, no problem." Hannah crossed her arms. "As long as Sarah's behavior stays within reasonable limits, I will restrain myself. But if she crosses my line of patience, I won't stand still."Kenneth agreed. "Alright, I agree.""And if Sarah wants my husband, you must make her understand that I will never leave Alden, no matter what."Then Hannah got up from her seat, not even finishing her coffee."Good day," Hannah said goodbye.Hannah quickly left the coffee shop and felt increasingly heavy as she walked towards the office. How about Hannah and Alden move abroad, even though they could do it? However, Texco and Goldtime were the pillars for the Harrison family's name to rise again; how could they leave them?
Hannah's life felt far from peaceful, even though she had returned to the Harrison family residence and reconciled with Alden. Hannah had to restrain herself every night when Sarah suddenly called, and Alden had to answer.Alden's demeanor was always the same, telling Sarah to rest and not worry. Still, it was very annoying. It seemed like Sarah was doing it purposefully, trying to make Hannah and Alden fight.A disruptive woman who believed she could come between Hannah and her husband, that's what Hannah thought. Unfortunately, Hannah couldn't do anything about it.Hannah poured her focus into work to distract herself from the worry, but it still affected her performance. Once again, Hannah made a mistake; this time, Susan reminded her as she entered the room."Okay, tell me, what's wrong this time?" Susan asked as she sat in front of Hannah.Hannah had miscalculated three projects, requiring Susan and Bernard to fix the reports. Fortunately, Sus
Sarah sat nervously, waiting for Alden to arrive. When she saw him approach, a smile spread across her face. Relief washed over Sarah; Alden was like a soothing balm to her. She quickly stood and stretched her arms, but Alden immediately sat down, making her uncomfortable."Is Hannah okay with us meeting like this?" Sarah asked with a slight chuckle.Alden gave a quick nod. "She's not worried about anything.""Even knowing we have a history?""Was, Sarah," Alden emphasized.Silence fell between them instantly. Alden's demeanor was so cold, unlike when Sarah was in the hospital, which disappointed her. Sarah thought Alden must be confused, unsure whether to choose her or Hannah. Sarah only wanted to bring Alden back to her, believing they were always meant to be together."What do you want to talk about?" Alden asked."Well, what if we start over? I know I could be better right now. Sometimes I lose consciousness and can't remember wha
