Running his hands gently through Hannah's hair, his expression suddenly turned stiff and stern. "Don't you worry. I'll avenge you. You won't be suffering through this alone."
"I..." Hannah wanted to calm him down a little, but Fabian seemed very determined, and she could tell by then that Regina was not a good person.
Slowly, Fabian stood up and leaned toward Hannah.
Staring at him curiously, she asked, "What are you doing?"
Fabian simply responded with a firm kiss on her lips.
"I've contacted your company to get you a day off.
You should rest here for today. If you feel bored, you can just take a stroll downstairs. I'll be off to work now, so please take care of yourself," he said gently.
Before Hannah could even reply to him, Fabian had already walked out of the room.
As Hannah watched him leave, she could not help but space out a little. What's with the extreme flipflopping of his attitude? Did he just say those cheesy words to me? Even though he's the most stuck-up man ever?
Hannah sat up, her heart palpitating faster than ever. With a delighted look on her face, she said to herself, "Why did I not see this gentle side of you before?"
She then massaged her temples before getting off the bed and washing up in the ensuite washroom of her VIP ward. She wanted to go for a walk downstairs.
After being bullied at work by Regina for two whole days, she was feeling extremely irritable. A day off work would be a great chance for her to regain a healthy mental state.
Meanwhile, in the living room of a small villa, Wesley and Regina had just finished their umpteenth round of sex. Putting their clothes back on, Regina began to talk about the "brilliant" plan she had come up with.
