Hannah called out, "Nelly, Nelly..."
Cornelia quickly went to her and embraced her, stroking her back and saying, "Hannah, it's okay. Don't be scared."
Hannah buried her face in Cornelia's chest, hugging Cornelia's waist tightly. “Get everyone out. I need to talk to you alone.”
Cornelia glanced at Steven. This time Steven was quite cooperative, leaving with the others, giving Cornelia and Hannah some space to talk.
Hannah gripped Cornelia tightly. "Nelly, is there any chance there could be any surveillance devices or bugs in this room?"
Cornelia didn't find this strange. After all, Hannah had been through a lot. "Hannah, rest assured, it's safe here."
Hannah said, "But I don't trust Steven. Daniela is out to get me, and he's with her every day. There's no way he doesn't know."
Cornelia said, "He does know. That's why he arranged for someone to protect you before going to Europe. His plans just ran into some hiccups, otherwise, you might not have had the accident."
Hannah had been in a coma for a month, and a lot had happened during that time, but she was none the wiser.
On the day of Hannah's accident, Cornelia had a bad feeling. She asked Grandpa Augustine to send someone to find Hannah, and they ran into the Alexander family. Both the Duran family and the Alexander family showed up, but Steven's people were nowhere to be found.
Later, Cornelia found out that Steven's people had been pulled away by his father, just to give Daniela an opportunity. That was to say, Steven's father knew very well that Daniela wanted to harm his former daughter-in-law Hannah, and he did not stop it, but gave Daniela the opportunity.
Steven was nowhere to be found, and people in the country couldn't locate him. In the end, it was Jeremy who came up with a solution, getting people in Europe to find Steven and tell him that Hannah had had an accident and was critically injured and unconscious in the hospital. It was a critical moment in the meeting that day, and Steven's departure meant giving up a lot, which would have a big impact on his future.
All in all, the obstacles Steven faced were ten, even a hundred times greater than Cornelia knew, but he decided to return home immediately and be by Hannah's side.
