"I don't think that's necessary. I have other matters to attend to," Fabian declined Lyna's offer and looked towards Hannah, clearly worried about her.
Lyna was caught off guard by his refusal since the Fabian Norton that she knew back then never rejected her like that. What's going on?
Seeing the way Fabian looked at Hannah, it dawned on Lyna.
Is he rejecting me because of her? What other matters? Is he having lunch with her? She looked towards Hannah menacingly.
How did you manage to appear out of nowhere and spoil two of my plans? First, you're saving that dying brat, Winson. Now, you're thinking of getting together with Fabian? No way! Don't be too full of yourself! You're just an abandoned kid from the
Blackwood family. You have no right to meddle with my man. Fabian Norton is mine!
Even with that in mind, Lyna kept her cool. "Alright then, Mr. Norton. I respect your decision. Maybe we can do that some other time when you're free”
She was certain that Fabian was not dining with her in his current condition, so it was better for her to ask him next time than insisting.
"Sure. I'll be off then," Fabian answered nonchalantly before he dragged Hannah away with him.
At that moment, Lyna looked towards their backs with narrowed eyes, her expression dark and sinister. What did this woman feed him to make him value her so much? Wait, I need to think of something fast. If this goes on, Fabian will be stolen away!
"Why did you pull me out of there? I wanted to stay by my brother's side." Hannah questioned as soon as they got out of the ward, flinging Fabian's hand off hers.
"If you want to go through the surgery tomorrow, you come home with me." Fabian was also irritated.
You ungrateful dumb woman! I'm worried about your health condition. I want you to rest! Why are you complaining?
On the other hand, even though Hannah knew Fabian meant well. The way he said it still irked her. Can't you talk to me in a gentler way? Why do you have to be so forceful all the time?
But she gave in briefly after. After all, Fabian was the one who got the surgeon. "Alright, let's go. But
I have work in the afternoon since I only took half a day's leave."
