"Hannah!" Steven quickly hopped out of the car after Hannah. He reached out, trying to stop her, but halted at the sight of her icy stare.
She snapped, "Steven, do you really want to watch me drop dead in front of you?"
"Hannah." Steven stuttered. Flashes of Skyler's tragic death in the fire and Zavier's heart-wrenching grief played in his mind. He didn't dare to take any risk, and he could only watch helplessly as Hannah disappeared from his sight.
Just then, his phone buzzed. It was a call from Harbor City. In the quiet night, the ringtone seemed exceptionally loud. He answered, hearing Jacqueline's anxious voice, "Steven, where the heck are you?"
"Mom, what's up?" Steven asked.
"Your dad just fainted. Get your ass home now." Jacqueline insisted.d2
"What happened?" Steven worried.
"He's been rushed to the hospital. We don't know what's going on." Jacqueline said.
"I'm on my way. Chill mom. Dad will be okay." After ending the call with Jacqueline, Steven immediately dialed Rick, "Arrange a private jet back to Harbor City."
"Roger that." Rick replied.
