The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

He observed the dust on their clothes.

Where have you been to get so dirty? Its nothing serious, Dad.

Just focus on getting better.

Hannah reassured him, Wallace shook his head, his tone laced with concern.

Im fine here, just bored.

Dad, stay in the hospital for now.

With Keith and Trent looking after you, Ill be at ease, Hannah said, feeling somewhat reassured.

Wallace sensed the weight of her words.

Is the situation with the Lyons family that troublesome? Hannah avoided a direct answer, simply assuring him and said, Dont worry, Im not a child anymore.

I can handle it. Wallace nodded in understanding.

Remember, if theres anything, tell me.

Got it, Dad, Hannah responded.

Then she turned to the two by her side.

You two, come with me outside.

Once they stepped out of the ward, Hannah lowered her voice and said, During this time, make sure someone is guarding the ward.

Never leave Father alone.

Keith sensed the gravity of the situation and asked, Whats going on? There might be some danger targeting our father.

If anything happens, call me immediately! Hannah replied.

Trent nodded, understanding the sensitivity of the information.

Well ensure the hospital is well guarded.

Thanks for your hard work these past few days.

Were all family here; its no trouble at all, Trent replied with a halfjoking tone.

After parting ways with them, Hannah and Bryson walked down the hospital corridor, each step reflecting their heavy hearts.

Bryson eventually broke the silence.

Even if you dont say it, I think your father guessed whats happening.

Hannah glanced at him, her expression mixed with complexity and said, He might have sensed something, but there are things better left unsaid for now.

He hasnt fully recovered, and I dont want him worrying about these issues.

So, do you think we should help Remington figure out whos behind this? Bryson asked.

Hannah hesitated, still disturbed by her encounter with the masked man earlier that day. We should hold off on taking any action for now.noveldrama

Alright, Bryson said.

Ill drop you off at the Compton familys first.

As they drove, Brysons phone rang.

He paused upon seeing the caller ID, then answered.

Mr.

Holmes? Yes, Im back.

Im with Hannah now.

He fell silent briefly after that.

Hannah looked at him, trying to gauge the situation from his serious expression.
