The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

“The doctor said there were no extra wards available and that my foot was only a simple fracture, so I should be fine recovering at home.

I’ve got the medication, so don’t worry.”

The hospital was clearly not taking any responsibility at all.

Hannah nodded as she thought about it.

Maloney nearly applauded Peterson’s audacity.

It was Peterson who had insisted on not needing hospitalization, yet now he was shifting all the blame onto the hospital.

“Hannah.

“

As he pushed the wheelchair forward, Peterson gave Hannah a plaintive look and said, “We won the competition together, didn’t we? Can you… Err… Can you promise me one thing?”

Hannah rested her chin on her hand, studying him.

“You broke your leg because of trying to show off, and now you want me to agree to something?”

Peterson, ignoring everyone else in the room, gave her a pitiful look.

“Can’t you at least grant me this favor for the sake of my broken leg?”

Hannah sighed, unable to stay mad at him.

In the end, she relented.

“Alright, as long as it’s something I can do.

I promise.”

Peterson’s face lit up with joy.

“It’s a deal, then! You owe me this favor, and I’ll let you know what it is when I figure it out.”

“Fine.” Hannah waved him off.

“Now go rest-you’ve just gotten your cast on.”

“Alright, I’m heading out.

Take care.”novelbin

As Peterson left, Maloney couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy, especially on Bryson’s behalf.

He glanced at Hannah, wondering if she would fall for Peterson’s antics.

Noticing Maloney’s odd expression, Hannah asked, “What are you staring at?”

“I’m just curious about the type of person you Like.”

His words also caught Remington’s attention, making the latter look at Hannah with interest.

Hannah didn’t quite get what Maloney was implying, but with others around, she decided to play along.

“Of course, I like you.

Why else would I agree to marry you?”

She lowered her eyes, giving him a sweet smile, but there was a sharpness behind her gaze as if saying, “Are you trying to start something with that question?”

Realizing what she meant, Maloney quickly played along.

“Right, but I still feel insecure.”

Hannah thought that he had lost it as she took a deep breath and gripped Maloney’s arm.

“Don’t worry, you’re the one I like the most.”
