Semua Bab She's Moved on With Someone New: Bab 101 - Bab 110

The call connected after two rings. "Mr. Florentine, I'm currently..." Before Alanna could finish, Terrence Abbott's voice interrupted. His tone carried lazy sarcasm. "Ms. Jacinto? Hades went to pick up Melanie. He left in a hurry and forgot his phone. Do you need something?"Alanna's grip on her phone tightened. Her knuckles turned white. She ended the call abruptly and resumed her attempt to hail a ride through her phone app.When she finally got a ride and arrived at the hospital, an hour had passed. Chelsey Soltz greeted Alanna with a concerned frown upon seeing her drenched in the rain. "Do you realize you shouldn't be getting wet in the rain at a time like this?"A weak smile appeared on Alanna's pale lips. "Okay, I get it. Don't be angry. I'm feeling really awful right now. Can you not be angry for my sake?"Chelsey's expression was a mix of anger and heartbreak. She glared at Alanna before reluctantly accompanying her for a check-up. "You've got a bit of an infection. L

Alanna nodded. Chelsey stood by the bed and carefully unwrapped the bandage. When the wound was revealed, Alanna's brow immediately furrowed. "Does it hurt?" Chelsey asked.Alanna endured the pain. She glanced at the wound and quickly looked away. "It's manageable.""What do you mean manageable? Your face has turned pale from the pain." Chelsey changed the dressing while saying, "This wound will leave a scar. Do you still have any scar removal cream?"Alanna nodded. Garrett Jacinto had often beaten her until she was bruised and battered in her early years. Since then, she had frequently used scar removal creams. She kept them stocked at home to this day."What happened to that fan afterward?" Chelsey asked with a frown."The legal process was followed for a lawsuit.""That's it? You're not going to investigate further?"Alanna scoffed, "What else could I have done? The authorities have concluded that Melanie had nothing to do with it." And with Hades protecting Melanie so we

Alanna's lips were tightly pursed. After a moment, she laughed and met Hades' gaze. "It won't happen again. Mr. Florentine, rest assured that I won't get upset over such things anymore."Hades looked at her with a profound gaze. He had intended to tell her he would try to answer her calls in the future, but now... He scoffed at the thought. He had felt unnecessarily hopeful.Hades felt agitated as he tugged at his soaked shirt. "Call Yves. He's nearby. Ask him to bring me a change of clothes."Alanna's lips twitched slightly. She wanted to tell him he didn't need to stay. She was fine now, so she wondered why he needed to linger. But before she could speak, Hades had already entered the bathroom. Hades was particular about his attire. He would never wear a drenched outfit again. Even if he were to leave, he would probably wait for Yves to bring him clothes.When she realized this, Alanna still made the call. Yves was indeed nearby. He quickly delivered the clothes, including a pa

Hades still harbored anger inside. Alanna's indifferent demeanor deeply unsettled him. She made it seem as if his presence was inconsequential. She could chat and laugh with Terrence, yet his company seemed superfluous. He had intended to smoke a cigarette to calm down. He couldn't understand why he was so easily affected by her emotions. Finishing the cigarette only intensified his irritation.He stubbed out the cigarette and headed back to the hospital room, only to find her lying in bed. She curled up into a small bundle on the bed. Alanna wasn't short. She was 5.5 feet, which meant she was quite tall for a woman. It was just that she was too thin. She was already slender, and her waist was so tiny that a hand could encircle it. However, she was well-proportioned where it mattered. Now, she seemed to have lost even more weight after the miscarriage. Especially in the oversized hospital gown, she appeared even more fragile, as if she could shatter upon touch.The anger insi

Alanna quickly opened the company's website to take a look. Although operations had resumed normally, fans of Melanie were still calling out for their "Mr. Florentine" in the comments section below the site. "Mr. Florentine, when will you marry our sister?" "Mr. Florentine, you two are so sweet." "Mr. Florentine, I'm here to witness your love." "Mr. Florentine, hurry up and announce to confirm your relationship with our sister." "Mr. Florentine..." The uniform calls of "Mr. Florentine" made Alanna feel stifled.The company's website wasn't unattended. Yet, these comments remained prominently displayed on the homepage. Without Hades' consent, this would have been impossible. This was probably what it meant to have a loved one; even their fans were indulged.She took a deep breath and tossed her phone aside. Just as she was about to lie down, someone knocked on the room's door. "Come in." The door opened, and Alanna paused in her movements. It was the company's chief
