Chapter 198 What Is It That You Want From Me?

• After stomping off from the chateau, Hannah wandered on the street aimlessly, oblivious of her surroundings. At the same time, her mind was like a rolling film tape that kept playing back the incident that had just happened. How could he forget me? We made a promise together to put everything behind us and start a new life. But why did it all end up like this after all the waiting?
• After walking aimlessly for a long time, Hannah suddenly heard a loud honk on the road just seconds before a speeding silver car knocked her down. In that instant, she only managed to catch a glimpse of the last two digits on the license plate as she set her eyes on the vehicle’s rear. Then, she tried to get back on her feet but quickly succumbed to the great pain in her ankle. It was then that she suspected she had a fracture. D*mn! I guess I finally understand why people say when it rains, it pours. Hannah sat on the road and bitterly mocked herself, looking up at the sky without stars as tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. At that moment, half of her face was overshadowed by the dimness around her under the illuminating streetlights, while the gentle breeze grazed her face and filled the atmosphere with the fragrance it carried from the cinnamon trees on both sides of the road.
• Meanwhile, Calvin was sitting in his car at a distance away, observing the pitiful lady who was whimpering. As the sight of Hannah’s reaction filled him with complicated feelings, he knew he could have ditched her after what she did to him earlier, yet he eventually went soft and decided to check on her. It was after he changed his mind that he witnessed the entire process, from the moment Hannah was hit by a car until she sat in the middle of the road in despair and cried for Connor. This is not who I am! With his hands tightly holding the steering, he was tempted to step on the gas pedal and drive away, but after a few moments of struggling and hesitation, he decided to drive closer to her. Then, he stepped out of the car and looked down at Hannah. “Perhaps I could take you to the hospital.”
