She gently stroked her long hair and gave Aidan Lucas a pitiful, faint smile as he approached, “Ethan, you’re here.”
“Mm,” Aidan nodded, “I came to see you.”
Upon hearing this, Hannah Ford’s smile deepened, and her long almond- shaped eyes became even clearer and more attractive.
Ha, she knew it. Ethan really still cared for her.
As she thought this, she heard Aidan’s deep, magnetic voice continue, “After I see you, I have to leave. There’s still business waiting for me back in Eastonia.” “Is it urgent to go back and host a dinner for Miss Gray?”
After saying that, Hannah realized she had lost her composure.
She immediately covered her lips with a soft and weak look, her face full of panic, looking at Aidan, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it… I know Miss Gray is carrying the heir to the Lucas family, and my body is indeed… Ethan, whatever decision you make, I can understand. If possible… I really don’t want to stand between you and Miss Gray.”
As she said this, the corners of her eyes turned red, and a crystal-clear teardrop slid down her cheek.
Aidan couldn’t help but frown when he saw the tear.
Back then, she was just like this, accompanying him as they hid in the cold and terrifying bushes.
The young her was shaking more fiercely than he was, but she stubbornly pretended to be brave, telling him not to be afraid.
And at that time, just like this, she would have red eyes, secretly shedding tears, all the while deceiving him by saying the wind made her eyes red.
Past memories flooded his mind.
Even after so many years had passed, the blurred memory of the little girl gradually transformed into the weak young woman with an almost entirely changed appearance before him.
But the original sense of gratitude and affection could never be forgotten.
However, who knew when the kind-hearted and courageous little angel of the past would turn into the calculating, deep-thinking woman she was now.
Whatever, let it be.
Deep in his heart, he sighed heavily.
He and Lily were, after all, impossible.
Since this was what Hannah wanted, he would give it to her.
He could only hope that she wouldn’t regret all the things she had gone through to get here.
Aidan suppressed the disgust in his heart, suddenly walked to the bedside, and silently reached out to embrace the sobbing Hannah into his arms.
There he stood, beside the bed.
His entire body tense and stiff.
Unlike Lily Gray’s adorable charm, Hannah, who was leaning her head against his abdomen and crying pitifully, could not elicit any desire from him as a man, even in such an embrace.
Holding her felt like comforting a pitiable patient.
Only sympathy and pity, but not an ounce of love.
“Alright, don’t cry,” he said, his back straight, and his body rigid.
Holding another woman felt uncomfortable.
Even if he didn’t consciously suppress it, the beast within him nearly wanted to shout and kick the woman who was nestled in his embrace away.
Barely coping with the internal turmoil, Aidan handed Hannah a handkerchief.
“Wipe your tears and stop crying. Don’t worry, once the agreement with Lily is over, I’ll go through with the divorce. You don’t have to worry about the child’s issue… once the child is born, I’ll let Lily take care of them and raise them. It won’t affect your status.”
“Ethan, I don’t mean that…”
“I know,” Aidan interrupted, “But I do.”
He looked at Hannah lying on the bed. Although her skin was pale and her body weak, she was still young and full of potential.
Now that she had a healthy heart, as long as she took care of herself in the future, she could gradually return to a healthy life.
She could have had a better life if she hadn’t been greedy.
However, since she had chosen this path herself, in the future, she couldn’t blame others.
