Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1210
When she hung up, the woman turned towards Jason and gave him a frosty look. “I’m busy now, so I won’t stoop to arguing with you. Just mind your manners in the future, or you’ll really suffer for it.”
Having said her piece, the woman turned and stalked away. Jason was left standing where he was, looking after her rather uncertainly.
He clenched his jaw and said through gritted teeth, “You won’t stoop so low as to argue with me? If it wasn’t for Fabian getting me to fetch Uncle Hendrick, I’d hound you for sure! I don’t like to leave things unfinished like this. Let’s see what you’re really capable of then!”
Having ranted thus, Jason, too, turned and continued on his way.
Jason had the crucial task of bringing Uncle Hendrick and Aunt Gillian to the hospital. It was time for Fabian to confess his relationship with Hannah to the Youngs. Otherwise, things could get pretty awkward when it was eventually time for both families to meet.
Back in the VIP hospital room, Helen was leisurely chatting with Fabian. His background, lifestyle, and anything else that sprang to Helen’s mind. Fabian’s life was laid bare on the table, then wickedly dissected by Helen.
Fabian, to his credit, answered each question stoically. Beside them, Hannah merely listened, occasionally laughing along.
Just then, a knock came on the door, followed by a woman’s voice asking, “Can we come in?”
“Sure, come on in,” Helen called towards the door.
The door cracked open as if on command. Hannah strained slightly to catch a glimpse of the visitor. She hadn’t been able to put her finger on who that voice could have belonged to.
“Hey Sis, I’m here to take care of you!” Lyna proclaimed with great gusto as she burst into the room.
Hannah laughed gaily. “I’m honored, Lyna.”
Hannah had always been on good terms with Lyna. Lyna’s visit now to the hospital only further cemented Hannah’s goodwill towards her.
