The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

I understand.

Ill go in to see him now.

You stay here and keep an eye on things.

Got it, boss! Hannah pushed the door open, turned around to close it gently, and then walked slowly to the bed in the inner room.

After lying in bed for so long, Wallaces face had taken on a ghostly pallor, starkly contrasting with the healthy complexion he once had.

His body appeared frailer, each contour more pronounced, highlighting how much weight he had lost during his ordeal.

Hannah felt a tightness in her throat and her nose twitched with the sting of unshed tears. Previously, she had seen her father as a scoundrel who had abandoned her mother.

But after learning the truth, she found that she couldnt bring herself to hate him.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Hannah looked at the man with closed eyes and whispered, Dad, Im back.

Do you really want to stay here like this? Wont you open your eyes and look at me? The man on the bed kept his eyes closed, seemingly unresponsive to the sounds around him.

Hannah took a deep breath, grasped his cold hand, and murmured, Dad… Her voice came out hoarse and choked with emotion, barely concealing her sobs.

As she quietly gazed at the man on the bed, she leaned against its edge and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning.

He blinked slowly, trying to focus on the blurry figure before him, his mind a fog of confusion.

He felt immobilized, the pain radiating from his internal organs blurring his vision and making it difficult to see the person beside him clearly.

As his vision gradually cleared, he finally recognized the figure at the edge of the bed.

His pupils widened in shock, and his Lips trembled as he exclaimed, Hannah! Hannah suddenly opened her eyes, momentarily thinking she was experiencing an auditory hallucination.

She was stunned into silence for a moment.

But as she regained her composure, the sight of Wallaces haggard, frail face made her heart drop. Hannah stared at him in disbelief.

Dad! You finally woke up! Wallace grasped Hannahs arm, tears streaming down his face.noveldrama

Hannah, I thought I was dreaming.

I dreamed of you… and now youre really back… Hannah pressed her lips together, her eyes welling with tears.

She had never imagined that Wallace, who had always appeared so strong and commanding to others, would look so frail now.

She had never imagined that Wallace would dream of her.

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then looked at Wallace and gently smiled.
