Chapter 1424
He chuckled lightly. “You little rascal. I thought you were really…”
Hannah interrupted him, “This Christmas, Jarvis and I would like to invite you, your wife, and your baby for dinner.”
Justin responded, “Sure. Christmas is not that far off. You should focus on recovering soon.”
Hannah said, “The doctors say I’m recovering well. I’ll have all my casts off by this afternoon, and with a bit more rest, I’ll be able to
walk.”
Justin said, “This little Salazar girl has been a gutsy one since childhood. Glad you’re okay, otherwise…”
Hannah asked, “Okay?”
To them, no matter how severe her injuries, as long as she was alive, everything was okay. But for Daniela, as long as someone cared about her, even a small scar was a big deal.
People were like that, and comparing only made them uncomfortable.

Justin said, “You silly kid, I meant you’re okay now.”
Hannah responded, “Yes, I believe there’s a saying, good luck is due after a brush with death.”
Justin said, “Definitely.”
Hannah said, “Dr. Terrel, it’s getting late, looks like it’s going to rain soon. You better head home and spend some time with your wife and child. I need to rest.”
Justin responded, “Okay, I’ll leave now and will visit you when I have time.”
Hannah said, “Have a safe journey home. I’m not in a position to see you off. Once I’ve recovered, I’ll properly entertain your family.”
Steven fell silent.
Justin said, “Let’s find a place to sit down and chat over coffee.” He’d just spent over ten hours on a plane and was so exhausted that he planned to sleep for a day and a night when he got home. He didn’t expect to be whisked to the hospital as soon as he got off the plane.
He came to help and didn’t even get a glass of water. His profession was all about talking.
Steven said, “Follow me.”
Steven had been keeping Hannah company at the hospital for a month. He had a lounge next door.
Justin said, “Steven, I’m a few years older than you. I’ve watched you grow up. You’ve never been a stubborn person. Why are you so relentless with this?”
Steven kept silent.
Justin continued, “If you don’t know how to love someone, you should learn from your good friend President Hartley. Look at how he treats his partner. That’s real love. The way you treat Hannah is not love, it’s selfish and domineering. You lack humanity.”
