You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 307

Hearing the man calling them beggars, the very young Hanna felt hate. At that very moment, she understood the cruel world. Her father hated them. He hated her. He didn't want her. With that, she understood completely. That day, she swore to omit him in her life. She didn't want him to be her father. For her, his identity was already buried in the ground.

After that terrible event, they went back to the slum. They continued their life without her father. She knew her mom did everything just to give them food on the table but some days she was unlucky. With her sickness, she was always in bed healing herself because they could not afford to go to the hospital. When she felt better, she worked as a janitor in a restaurant then she secretly kept the wasted food and bring them to her and her brother. Sometimes, Marga sells vegetables in the market sharing a small space with their neighbor in one kiosk until the kiosk was burnt down. Her mother Marga was very devastated when she went home. They didn't know what happen and the police didn't even have any clue about the incident. They were all silent about it and since they didn't have money the case faded smoothly.

When they thought it was all over, another tragedy came in just after a week. Hanna woke up to a thick smoke covering her face. She panicked when she saw fire inside their house. She quickly tapped her mom's shoulder repeatedly. "Mom! Wake up! Wake up! Our house is burning!" They were sleeping on the ground with her little brother. "Ugghh!" She coughed when the smoke got thicker. She could not breathe properly. They had to go out or they would all die.

"Mom! Wake up!" She cried at the top of her lungs. Then she got her younger brother quickly.

When Marga opened her eyes, she jumped quickly. "What the?!" Her expression was in shock like she thought she was just dreaming. "Mom! We have to go now!" That was the only time Marga blinked her eyes. She regained her senses because of Hanna's voice.

"Let's go, quick!" She hurriedly ordered and carried her younger brother. Before the fire spread the entire place, they successfully went out but her mother, Marga, gave her little brother to her and went back inside.

"No! Mom, no!" She cried loudly to stop her.

"Stay there. I need to get that important thing!" She replied hurriedly without turning to her.

Marga got inside. Hanna could not see her anymore as the fire and smoke mixed wildly inside their small shelter. Hanna was very worried so she gave her brother to their close neighbor then she ran after her mother.

"Ugghh! Ugghh! Ugghh! Mom! Where are you? Mom!" Hanna called out. His skin was burning and the intense hotness inside was making her dizzy. Her tears dried up due to the burning hot atmosphere.

"Mom! Let's go out now!" She shouted. Hanna was already 10 at that time and she had the best understanding of everything. At this moment, her main goal was to save her mother. She could not afford to lose her mom.

"Hanna! What are you doing here? Did I not... Watch out!" Marga was about to scold her but the next second she heard her scream. A long big timber covered with fire landed on the ground with a loud bang. Hanna froze seeing her mom also lying on the floor unconsciously. She could not move even if she wanted to rescue her. The lumber was supposed to hit Hanna but her mother hugged her to shield her. Now, her mom got hurt instead of her. When another lumber landed on the ground, she was snapped back to her senses. She ran towards her mother and picked her up slowly. She was too heavy but Hanna endured her weight. Her mind was focused to get them both alive for her brother. Before their house totally turned to ashes, she got her mom out. Their neighbor helped her bring Marga to the nearest hospital but another sad news came in. At that time, Hanna thought it was the saddest. Her mother's legs were damaged due to the impact. She cannot walk again. Because of her, her mother could not walk anymore.

Hearing the doctor, the little Hanna was full of uncertainties. She envied the kids with plenty of everything. Those kids with happy families playing in the park. Even those kids with the ice cream cone in their hands. How she wished her life is just like that. A bountiful life that every kid deserves to live. But in her case, it was excessively different.

Too different when the doctor came inside the room and talk to her.

"Take this money with you." The doctor handed her a bulk white envelope. She didn't blink as she was puzzled by the doctor's motive.

"Listen, Hanna. This is from the Vice Mayor." The doctor added. Hearing this, she felt scared. "Bring your mom out of this city using this money because if you will continue to live here everything would be turned to ashes just like your kiosk and shelter." The doctor continued.

Now, Hanna understood everything. The man who said to be her father did everything to make them go away. She hated him so much and at the same time, she was very afraid that it would happen again.

"If you love your mother and brother, you get this money and bring them somewhere where no one can identify you. Take my advice, Hanna, because the vice mayor would not just sit in his office if he found out that you and your mother were still here. Do you understand?" The doctor uttered firmly.

Hanna could only feel fear as she nodded along with her tears falling. She felt all their lives were in her hands. All she wanted at that time was to save them.

The doctor felt pity for the kid but he got a large amount of money from the vice mayor so he had no choice.

Hanna was broken at a very young age. She had to strive hard every day just to give her family food on the table. She completely forgot the man who abandoned them. She brought her family to the province. Using the money, they rented a small apartment and then started a new life.

"Hanna...baby... I regret everything! Please come to me. I'm sure that's what your mom's wished for a very long time. She will be very happy if you reunite with me." Sen. Meyer still tried to convince his only daughter.

"Don't! Just don't mention my mother! You don't have the right to mention her. You caused her all pain. She died miserably because of you!" Hanna saw her mom crying every night. She knew it was because of her father. When she could no longer walk, her body got weaker every day. Hanna used the money for her therapy and her medicines. Sooner, they left with nothing and she had to sustain her mother's medicine. She never complained. Hanna grew up to be very responsible and focused. She accepted as many jobs as she could to sustain her family's living.
