Upon hearing this, Hansen smiled and said, "Of course, Honey. I'm listening."
Jenna spoke after giving a deep thought, "Hansen, there's someone in Richards Manor who wants to harm Vivian."
"What!" Hansen was dumbstruck by Jenna's words. He immediately put his hand on her forehead and asked, "Jenna, did you have a nightmare last night?"
He looked at her suspiciously.
"No, you fool." Jenna was clearly annoyed. She then pulled his blanket away and slapped him on the butt. "I'm being dead serious."
"Ouch, it hurts. Even if you did want to murder your husband, can you please not hit so hard?" Hansen hissed and howled.
It has been several days since this minor injury, did it still hurt like that? Jenna just couldn't believe him.
She had tried to tell him about it these few days but she got distracted by him and somehow forgotten about it. Finally, when she recalled that the situation was indeed serious, she thought that it was better to tell him sooner than later.
"I was serious. Get up." Jenna frowned.
"Okay, okay. Let's talk." Hansen stretched lazily and Jenna helped him to get dressed as usual.
Then, she began to blurt out what happened that day.
Hansen listened carefully and remained silent as a strike of cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Jenna, I get the story now. Don't spread the news for the moment," he said calmly after a while.
"I understand." Jenna stared at him.
His face and chin were scratched by her. There were no bloodstains on the bitemarks but the new skin formed underneath was pale, thus there were little patches of uneven skin tones on his face. Fortunately, the injuries healed very quickly because of the ointments she applied to him the past few days.
"What's wrong? Are you still feeling distressed?" Hansen was very pleased with the way Jenna treated his wounds every day. She was so nervous about the wounds on his face and handled them gently. He felt that his injury was totally worth it.
"Distressed because of you? You're such a dreamer. It's just that the New Year banquet is around the corner and I am afraid that something will go wrong, there will be others that misunderstand you." After Jenna washed her hands, she prepared warm water to help Hansen wash his face. Then, she took out the ointment and applied it on him.
"Huh, liar." Hansen pouted as he lay on his back, enjoying the gentle movement of her hand on his face. He put his arms around her waist and whispered, "Jenna, you have to be careful in the manor. There are things that you shouldn't be too serious about. Let me deal with it."
As he said that, his dark eyes gleamed.
Now that Norton has been released on bail, there was no way to find out the truth of Javon's death. Truthfully, he was very worried about Jenna's safety. If she did not resign and simply stayed with Richards Group, he would not be worried. However, it turned out that she had promised Vivian to be the head of Richards Manor. By doing this, she was out of his sight, which made him really uneasy.
"Jenna, Norton is at home now. He was only released on bail but that doesn't mean your father's case is over. There will be more incidents in the future. It was against Norton's will to go to jail, hence you have to be careful. Do you understand?" Hansen reminded her.
Jenna looked at his concerned face and nodded, having mixed feelings at that instant.
"Hansen, Hansen." Marissa's voice came from the corridor.
Jenna took a few steps back in reflex.
Every morning for these past few days, Marissa would come to take care of Trevor. Jenna didn't want to meet her, therefore she purposely avoided their meeting. But, it seemed that she got to know about Hansen's injury and rushed to the hospital that day. Jenna was sure that she heard panic and anxiety in Marissa's voice.
Hansen stood up calmly and pulled Jenna into his arms. He gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I'm here."
As soon as the glass door slid open, Marissa stormed in.
"Son, I heard that you were injured and hospitalized. Is this true? What the hell happened?" Marissa walked in and saw Hansen holding Jenna in his arms. They looked very affectionate but she just didn't care. She started walking towards Hansen and grabbed his hand, asking anxiously.
