The following day, after breakfast, Alden and Hannah went to their respective offices. For the time being, Hannah was driven by a chauffeur because Alden didn’t want her to fall ill again suddenly. Feeling more at ease, Alden headed to Goldtime.

However, in truth, Alden felt a bit uneasy having to see Sarah every day. While Sarah’s behavior in front of the other employees didn’t suggest anything unusual, as soon as she stepped into Alden’s office, she wasn’t shy about showing her affection, making Alden uncomfortable.

As Alden arrived at the office and was about to go inside, he spotted Jeffrey standing outside as if waiting for someone. Alden guessed Jeffrey wanted to speak with him.

“Good morning, Mr. Alden,” Jeffrey greeted with a smile. “Sorry if I’m interrupting your workday.”

“It’s fine, Jeffrey. Is there something you’d like to discuss? Come on, let’s go to my offic

All she can think about is how reckless Ashton is."I hope nothing bad happens," Hannah muttered.The door to her office opened, and Wendy's smiling face appeared in the doorway."Hey, are you leaving?"

"Have fun with Dr. Ash.""Have fun?" Hannah's eyes widened. "I'm going there to w

    Their conversation was interrupted by the arrival of warm, appetizing dishes, a moment Hannah felt saved by the bell. Thankfully, Ashton didn't press her further about her ex. Deep down, Hannah was sure Ashton could find out on his own if he wanted to.Dinner proceeded with light conversation, allowing Hannah to regain her composure. It seemed Ashton had no intention of digging into her past, and she appreciated his respect for her privacy....After dinner, Ashton walked Hannah back to Elizabeth's apartment, all the way to her door. It seemed that Elizabeth hadn't heard about the dramatic incident in the elevator because the older woman was already asleep when Hannah arrived home."See you tomorrow, Ashton," Hannah whispered as she held the door open. "Be careful in the elevator.""I might start using the stairs now," Ashton replied with a soft chuckle.They both laughed lightly like smitten teenagers awkwardly chatting on a doorstep. Ashto

    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.
