Catherine’s eyes suddenly widened.
She would be able to recognize Shaun’s face straight away no matter how much it had changed.
Was it him?
He was alive?
Her head buzzed. By the time she noticed Shaun's eyes settling on her, it was too late to look away.
Just like that, Shaun had spotted her eyes on him. The two of them looked at each other at a distance away, separated by all the people between them.
He realized that her eyes were red.
With that, his thin lips curled up a little.
Despite his narrow escape from death just now, he was in an inexplicably good mood.
"Hannah..."
At this moment, Madam Mead called out to her daughter amid her tears. She then ran to her daughter emotionally and hugged her. "This is great. You're still alive. You scared the hell out of me. I thought you were inside." "What happened, Hannah? The surveillance footage
caught you entering the elevator at that time." Senator Mead then walked to Hannah with his eyes red. He almost lost his footing the instant he knew that his only daughter was dead.
"Dad, I nearly died." Hannah hugged his parents and said tearfully, “But luckily, Young Master Hill saved m e."
After she finished speaking, she darted a shy glance a t Shaun.
"Dad, you don't know how terrifying the situation was just now. The elevator plunged over ten floors, and it did not stop even after we pressed all the buttons.
Thank god Shaun opened the roof in time. When the elevator fell to the second floor, he swiftly grabbed me and fled to the elevator shaft. Then, he forced open the doors on the third floor with his bare hands, and we crawled out."
Toward the end of her sentence, Hannah gazed at Shaun in admiration. "Really. We would've died if we were one or two seconds late. Fortunately, Shaun took it in stride. He could've escaped alone at that time, but he decided to save me even though I might be a drag. He even suffered gashes on his arms from the cable in order to grab me in the shaft..."
