His Dangerous Love novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139 What's Your Relationship With Jefferson

Elianna was inclined towards the latter.

She hoped that Brett had lied to her in order to exploit her value.

But if it wasn't true...

She didn't dare to think further.

On the way to Palatial Residence, Elianna's heart was filled with anxiety. As soon as she arrived, she headed straight to Hector's room.

To her disappointment, he wasn't there. She asked around and found out that he had moved to another room.

Seeing Elianna come in, Hector put down the book he was reading and smiled at her.

"Anna, you're back."

He didn't ask why she hadn't come for so long, nor did he question her urgency. It felt like an ordinary one from the countless days they had spent together at home.

After this period of treatment, all the pipes on Hector's body were removed. Although he was still thin, his face had regained its former handsomeness. His smile was as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Hector."

Elianna hurried over, trying to hug him but afraid of hurting him.

Hector sensed her hesitation and opened his arms to her. "Although I'm weak now, I still have the strength to hug you."

After two years, Elianna was finally held in Hector's arms again. She cherished the warmth and didn't want to let go.

Hector didn't move either. He always carried Elianna around when they were young, and that habit hadn't changed as they grew up. But the overly intimate embrace was no longer appropriate. He mostly let her rest her head on his shoulder or lap while she told him amusing stories from school.

He gently touched her hair. "Tell me, what's the matter that made you so eager to find me?"

......

After a moment, Hector furrowed. "Are you telling me that you encountered Brett and he recognized you?"

"Yes, but it's all resolved now. I'm fine. But..."

Elianna looked at Hector, her tone unintentionally tense. "Hector, have you heard of Jefferson before in Elfold?"

"Uh-huh."

Hector nodded. "What about him?"
