Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1141

“Back then, Hannah and I didn’t know each other, and she was a reporter. During a press conference in a ballroom, her malicious colleague stepped on her long dress on purpose to embarrass her. As Hannah tripped and was about to fall to the ground, I swiftly took her into my arms. After seeing how handsome, cheerful, and charismatic I am, she fell in love with me at first sight. After that, because she courted me consistently, I eventually agreed to be his boyfriend.”

Upon hearing this, Hannah was really not amused. What nonsense are you talking about? You are lying without blinking an eye!

I can let it pass when you said you are handsome. How can I tolerate it when you claimed you’re cheerful? After I married you, you wore a grim expression almost every day. Do you know how emotionally exhausted I was?

Besides, your story sucks! Even though the incident did happen, it definitely wasn’t how you described it. When I was bullied, you stayed with her, grinning all the time. When we finally got home, you even scolded me! Do you know that you have gone too far?

Winson won’t believe your nonsense and will question you! At that time, I’ll make up a story about how you courted me to embarrass you instead.

As Hannah was deep in thought, Winson suddenly yelled and interrupted her thought, “Wow! You’re a knight in shining armor! I mean, you’re awesome!”

Damn it! How could you believe such a dubious story? Hannah was at a loss for words. Nevertheless, since Winson was merely sixteen years old, she could understand that he believed the words of someone he trusted.

“Humph, all you can do is to lie to a kid,” Hannah murmured in a low voice to vent her dissatisfaction. Meanwhile, Fabian remained unperturbed even though he could roughly hear what she said. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and shot her a smug glance. What? You got a problem? Come and beat me if you’re pissed off.

Hannah rolled her eyes at him before closing her eyes. Tch! Go on. I can’t bear listening to it anymore.

The moment she closed her eyes, Fabian happened to receive a phone call and had to leave.

“Winson, you can chat with Hannah. I’ve to deal with some matters and will be back as soon as possible,” Fabian said.

“Okay, go ahead,” Winson answered like a matured man.

As Fabian turned around to glance at Hannah, she was still closing her eyes in anger. He shook his head helplessly before going out of the room.

Humph! Go away! I can’t bear listening to your nonsense any longer!

When she was about to say something, someone opened the door again.

“What is it? Just go ahead. I can take care of myself and Winson.” She thought that Fabian came back because he was worried about her.

However, it proved that Hannah thought too much. The man who entered the ward was bewildered by Hannah’s response.

“May I know if you’re Hannah Young?” he asked.

“Hmm… I am,” Hannah replied awkwardly.

“Then, you must be Winson Blackwood.”

Since Hannah nodded in response but looked a little confused, he continued, “Well, Mr. Blackwood asked me to deliver lunch for both of you.” As he spoke, he walked toward the table and opened the lunch box.

Leo Blackwood? Wouldn’t it be too late for him to ask someone to deliver lunch at this hour? Winson and Hannah would be famished if they had to wait for his food.

“You can just put the lunch box there and leave.” Hannah was slightly displeased.

“I’m sorry for being late. Preparing fish soup took a longer time than expected,” The deliveryman apologized as he noticed that Hannah was a little disgruntled.

Fish soup? Given that preparing fish soup usually required more than two hours, Hannah was not angry anymore. She calmed herself down and said, “I see. It’s okay. You can put the lunch boxes there.”

When the deliveryman stood still, she felt a little bit embarrassed for being slightly rude just now. “Thank you. Please go ahead with your work, and I will get the soup myself.”

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1142

The deliveryman apologized once again before leaving the ward.

“Winson, do you still have the appetite for the soup? Fish soup is good for your recovery.” Hannah was full now. Since Winson had quite a lot of food, Hannah thought he probably couldn’t eat more as well.

“Me? I can’t eat more food now. Since the soup is good for our health, we should have it later. We should have a few bowls of soup to recover as soon as possible and hang out together,” he said while looking at his round belly.

“Sure,” she thought for a while and continued, “Winson.”

“What is it?”

“No one knows about the marriage between Fabian and me yet except you. So, can you please don’t tell anyone? This is the secret among the three of us,” Hannah reminded Winson.

He looked up and gave it some thought for a while before he replied, “Okay.”

The next moment, he continued to ask, “But you have to tell me the reason.”

Hannah thought about it and replied, “I can’t explain it in a few words. Anyway, this is only temporary. We will announce our relationship once the time is right.”

She didn’t even know where to start to explain the matter to Winson. Moreover, it was possible that they would get a divorce anytime. As such, she hoped to conceal their marriage for as long as possible.

On the other hand, Winson was a little upset. He lowered his gaze and replied disappointedly, “Okay, I understand.”

“Winson, I have my reasons not to tell you. Besides, I’ll be heartbroken too if you’re upset,” Hannah consoled him because he was down in the dumps.

“Okay, I understand.” Suddenly, as if a thought flashed through his mind, Winson asked, “Do you want to know where Mom’s hometown is?”

“Of course.” However, Hannah was curious that he suddenly brought this up.

“Mommy’s hometown is H City, which is not far from here. The weather is sunny all year long, while the scenery is beautiful. There are a lot of camellias near Mom’s house, which blossom from March to April. Besides, there is also a crystal clear and meandering river with lots of fish.” Winson looked up when he recalled it.

“Did you visit the place with Mom?” Hannah asked cautiously as an air of melancholy seemed to be surrounding him.

“No,” Winson denied it and continued, “Mom told me that it is a wonderful place. But before she could bring me there, she…”

He sobbed uncontrollably.

Hannah wished to hand over a piece of tissue paper to him yet couldn’t move her body too much. Hence, she could only comfort him, “Winson, it’s okay. When we’ve recovered, I’ll bring you there.”

Suddenly, Fabian opened the door and brought along someone younger than him.

Despite the age difference between them, Hannah felt that he was almost as tall as Fabian. The spoiled brat was wearing a set of branded clothes: a white short-sleeved shirt and distressed jeans. Also, the sparkling watch on his wrist was clearly expensive.

“Fabian, I think we came at the inappropriate time,” the young man looked at Fabian and said awkwardly.

Fabian shot him a cold glance before coming up to Winson’s bed. He took two pieces of tissue paper to wipe away Winson’s tears. Then, he asked Hannah gently, “What were you two talking about? Why did he cry?”

“Nothing much. Winson got a little emotional as we talked about our mom’s hometown,” Hannah explained.

“I see. Do you wish to visit the place? That’s simple I can bring you guys to visit the place once both of you have recovered,” Fabian comforted Winson while patted him on his chest gently.

“Okay. Thank you, my dearest brother-in-law,” Winson felt a lot better after hearing it.

“What? What did he say? Brother-in-law? Did I hear something?

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1143

The young man’s jaw dropped in surprise. Shortly afterward, he glanced at Hannah and said shockingly, “Fabian, didn’t you always refrain from being emotionally attached to all of your girlfriends? What’s going on now?”

Fabian scowled at him and hit his head immediately. “Hey, do you remember what I said before coming here? Do you want me to hand you over to your dad? He can teach you some manners!”

“No, please don’t do that. He’ll force me to manage his business once he can lay his fingers on me!” The young man shook his hand as he was worried that what Fabian said would come true.

The young man immediately changed his facial expression and flattered Hannah. “I was merely too excited. Fabian is actually very loyal.”

He is loyal, so much so that all of his ex-girlfriends can form a regiment.

He didn’t speak his mind, worrying that Fabian would hand him over to his dad.

Hannah smiled politely as a response. Then, she gazed at Fabian doubtfully. It was as if she wanted to know who the young man was and why Fabian brought him here.

Fabian put on a smile helplessly and explained, “This is Jason, the youngest son of the Goldstein family. His family and mine are good friends.”

Meanwhile, Jason walked closer to Hannah and bowed with his right arm on his chest. After that, he said smilingly and courteously, “I’m Jason, Fabian’s sidekick.”

Hannah initially wanted to praise him for being polite, yet his following words shocked her.

“Please help me when necessary because Fabian doesn’t treat me very well.” As Jason spoke, he raised his brows playfully while his lips curled into a sly smile.

Hannah was rendered speechless. How am I supposed to help you? I’m not the president!

“As for you, since you’re the brother of Fabian’s wife, I’ll treat you as my godbrother. I’ll protect you from now on, and your problems are my problems. I think you are still in junior high school, right? Tell me which school you’re studying at, and I’ll send two men to protect you there.” Jason talked to Winson non-stop even though Hannah rather embarrassed.

At this moment, Hannah wasn’t sure what she had to say to him.

Meanwhile, Fabian was also at a loss. I shouldn’t have brought the brat here in the first place.

“I’m studying at Holden Junior High School,” Winson replied.

“Okay, I’ll assign some men afterward,” Jason replied once Winson gave him the answer.

At the same time, he walked past Fabian and stood beside Winson’s bed. “You can call me Jason. By the way, I haven’t got to know your name yet.”

“Jason, I’m Winson.” Since Jason was more senior than him, he replied without hesitation.

“Okay, Winson. Nice to meet you.”

Deep in Jason’s heart, he was delighted that he took in Hannah’s brother as his sidekick right after meeting him. I can feel that a wonderful life is coming to me. If Fabian is reluctant to teach me or cause me trouble again, I’ll ask a favor from Winson to talk to him.

Hahaha, I’m as smart as myself!

On the other hand, Hannah was also deep in thought. This boy doesn’t seem to be a spoiled brat but more like a gangster! Will he lead Winson down the wrong path? It’s better to be safe than sorry. After all, it’ll be too late if Winson is influenced by his bad behavior!

Hence, Hannah hastily winked at Fabian. Quick! Stop him now. Don’t let him bring about any bad influence on Winson.

Fabian didn’t expect that Jason would say such things. Even though Jason had some bad habits, he would still behave himself in the past.

Nevertheless, Jason and Winson had a good chat even before Fabian could say anything. As such, he held his tongue and came up to Hannah’s bed to sit on a chair.

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1144

“I think he did it on purpose. He just wanted to have more things to talk about with Winson. Teenagers these days are rather different from our time,” Fabian explained.

“Are you sure?” Hannah did not seem convinced at all. It was not that she doubted what Fabian said, but rather, she felt that Jason was unreliable.

“Yeap, I’m sure. I wouldn’t bring him over if he were a bad influence on Winson.” An annoyed frown settled on Fabian’s brows, but he still explained again patiently. If it were not for her operation, Fabian would not be this patient. Last time, Hannah never dared second guess his decisions.

Hannah observed his expression, but she simply had to get to the bottom of things. “How did he end up coming to the hospital with you?” she asked, softening her tone.

Fabian let out a resigned sigh. “The Nortons and the Goldsteins share close ties. He admires me a lot, and he followed me around a lot when he was younger. Now that he’s in college, his dad wanted him to gain some business experience in the family, but the kid said he wanted to learn from me instead.”

Children born into rich families really had their own ways of doing things. No one could understand how someone could give up such a good opportunity to gain business experience just to have fun. Unlike them, college students from mediocre families would do everything they could to do some part-time jobs. One could only say that the rich kids never knew what it meant to feel desperate.

“Helen is also a college student. Which year is he in?” Since her own sister was also in college, Hannah wondered how old Jason was.

“He’s a junior.”

“Oh! He’s in the same year as Helen. What a coincidence.” It so happened that Helen also had a queer character.

“So?” Fabian shot her a question uninterestedly. To him, there was nothing coincidental about the two being in the same year. After all, it was not like they attended the same university and were in the same class. They just happened to be in the same year.

“We’re both humans. Wow, what a coincidence,” Fabian added, rolling his eyes at her.

“Whatever. I just feel like it’s amazing they happen to in the same year.”

Hannah realized Fabian had been more talkative these two days, so she decided to probe further. “So… Are we getting a divorce anytime soon?”

Hannah had wanted to ask him this a long time ago, but she did not manage to find the right time. She was afraid Fabian would lose his temper and force himself on her if she mentioned it.

“Why do you want to get a divorce?” Fabian’s frown intensified and his tone suddenly turned cold.

This familiar expression brought back bad memories and sent a chill down Hannah’s spine. The frantic woman quickly explained herself. “No, what I mean is…”

“Why did you ask in the first place?” Fabian leaned closer, drilling his gaze into her eyes.

Hannah instantly regretted asking that question but it was too late.

“It’s… It’s nothing. I am just curious,” she mumbled.

Fabian leaned back in the chair. His eyes and his mouth curved subtly in a smile as he spoke. “I’ll tell you when it’s time.”

“Alright.” Hannah had nothing else to say.

You’ll tell me when it’s time? How will I know when that is? Ah, whatever. I’ll get to leave one day. It’s just a matter of time.

Hannah looked at him as she thought about what he said. A hint of dejection slowly grew in her eyes.

“Why? Are you unhappy about it?” Fabian saw the smile fading on her lips and asked. He knew she wanted to object, but she did not voice it.

“No. I’m not unhappy about anything.” Hannah faked a smile and answered.

This is why I like you. You keep your feelings to yourself, unlike other women. They keep acting cute and bothering me with all their petty games.

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1145

But can’t you just make an exception for me? Can’t you just treat me differently? I know you care about me, but why do you have to hide it? Don’t you know I can see right through you?

Fabian shook his head as a smile played on his lips. “Who brought those? Leo?” He spotted the food on the table.

“Yeah,” Hannah answered, trailing his gaze.

“By the way, Winson, there is some soup on the table. You should have some. You need to eat something nutritious to get better,” she added.

“Sure!” Jason was talking to Winson when a smile broke out on Winson’s face. His smile intensified when he heard Hannah.

“I’ll go get it,” Jason said before Fabian even got up.

“Get two bowls then,” Fabian replied.

This brat is finally doing something that won’t embarrass me.

“Alright,” Jason answered.

Jason passed a bowl of soup to Fabian before bringing another one to Winson and feeding him.

“See, isn’t it nice to have a new friend?” Jason teased as he fed Winson.

Hannah was beginning to change her perception of Jason. He might be a wilful young man but he had a soft heart. He would not be so loving toward Winson if he were a wicked person.

“He always talks like this. I hope you don’t mind. He won’t teach Winson anything bad,” Fabian said, clearing his throat.

A smile curved on Hannah’s lips. “I know. He just volunteered to get soup for Winson. That says a lot about him.”

Suddenly, the door swung opened and someone barged in. Jason was shocked he almost spilled the soup.

The person stood at the door for a few seconds without saying a word and then dashed out.

“Is she crazy?” Jason grunted, taking up the spoon to feed Winson again.

Yet again, someone opened the door again. A small head appeared around the door and a soft voice rang in the room. “Is Hannah here?”

Jason had really had enough of it. “Are you serious? What are you up to? This is a hospital, not a playground. Can’t you see the stickers on the walls? ‘Silence please’. This is the second time you have barged in! What do you want?”

Jason was already on his feet when Fabian wanted to stop him, but Jason spoke before Fabian could say anything. “Fabian, don’t stop me. Somebody needs to teach this person a good lesson.”

He charged toward the door, glaring at the person. “Go and ask the nurse if you’re looking for someone. You can’t just go around disturbing all the patients like this.”

“I heard she’s in this room,” a timid voice replied.

“Jason,” Hannah called out.

That girl was her sister, Helen.

“Hannah, you need to stop being so soft-hearted. She can’t do this. The patients need to rest.”

“Who are you looking for, eh? There are only two patients in this room. One is my brother and the other is my sister-in-law. Which of them is the person you’re looking for?” Jason interrogated the girl.

Because Jason was blocking the way, Helen could only tiptoe to try and see who was in the room. “But my parents told me she’s in this room…” she said weakly.

Jason glowered at the young girl in dismay. “Do you think I’m lying to you? Fine! Come in and take a look yourself. I’m not a liar.”

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1146

Jason stood aside and let Helen have a full view of the people inside.

When Helen first saw Winson, she almost thought she got the wrong room. Her frantic gaze wandered to the next bed and the girl exclaimed in relief. “That’s my sister!”

“Your sister? Hey, who are you talking about?” Jason’s voice trailed off as he slowly turned around.

Wait… Hannah? So her name is Hannah?

Jason turned around and met Fabian’s piercing glare drilling through him.

Oh gosh, no! Why do all the bad things happen to me. How would I know the girl looking for Hannah is her sister? I am in deep shit! I hope Fabian’s not sending me back to my dad.

Jason’s gaze suddenly softened. “It’s just a misunderstanding, Fabian. Don’t look at me like this, please,” he implored.

Fabian wrinkled his nose at him and went toward Helen. “Hannah’s here. She has just finished her operation and she’s resting.”

Helen nodded and went in. Just as she was walking past Fabian, she stopped for a bit and mumbled, “Thanks.”

Who is he? Helen gave him a wry smile.

She felt a little odd and didn’t know what else to do. With that, she walked to Hannah.

Helen had been at college for some time. She had not seen Hannah for about half a year. “Mom told me everything. You really need to rest now. Don’t think about anything else.” She went up and held Hannah’s hands.

Hannah nodded in reply.

She felt odd about the situation and explained to Helen, “I hope you don’t mind Jason back there. He didn’t know my name, so…”

Helen recalled Jason’s attitude and anger rose in her heart. What he did was really uncalled for.

Fabian glared at Jason from the corner of his eyes sending chills down the young man’s spine. He got the hint and quickly came forward to apologize. “I’m sorry for being rude. Please forgive me.”

He told himself he should just eat up his pride and apologize. After all, he would rather lose his ego than being sent back to his father.

Helen rolled her eyes and pouted her lips. “Fine. I’ll just let it slide this time. But you’d better not make a judgment before understanding the situation next time. You’ll be so dead if you end up offending someone else.”

What? Is this girl lecturing me now? Does she know who I am?

Jason was so tempted to retaliate, but he thought of the consequences and held back.

Come on, Jason. Suck it up.

“You are so kind. Thanks for your words of advice.” Although he wore a smile on his face, it was obvious that he was putting all his effort into faking it.

Helen was emboldened by his subservient manner. “No problem. It’s my pleasure to offer some advice. I hope it helps. We should all be humble to receive criticisms so we can improve.”

Hannah thought Helen had gone too far. “Helen, that’s enough. You shouldn’t provoke him. He’s already apologized.” She cut her short.

“Fine,” Helen replied tersely as she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

She lifted her gaze and looked at Fabian and Jason. After some time, she got up and gave Fabian a pat on his shoulder. “You must be Hannah’s boyfriend, right?”

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1147

Before Fabian could even react, Helen eyed him from the top to the toe and expressed her approval. “Not bad. You’ve got a good catch, Hannah.”

“Helen! What are you talking about?” Hannah cried out in embarrassment. Now that her sister had seen her and Fabian together, she had no choice but to admit their relationship.

“Come on, don’t be shy,” Helen joked as she cast her a mischievous glance, “Alright, fine. I’ll stop making fun of you.”

Hannah stole a glance at Fabian and saw him smiling brightly. Hannah’s sister is just like Jason.

“Hannah, is that our brother?” Helen asked, walking toward Winson’s bed.

Helen caressed his face lovingly as she bent down. Her face was all filled with love and compassion.

Winson was not used to all this, but still, he touched Helen’s face and smiled at her as he felt odd.

“You look kinda handsome too. I bet you’re gonna grow up into a fine young man,” Helen commented as she swayed and pouted her lips.

Hannah shook her head at her outspoken sister. She was like this ever since she was a kid, and she never cared about rules and restrictions. Now that she was already a grownup, there was no use for Hannah to try correcting her anymore.

Helen went closer to the boy and asked, “What’s your name? I’m Hannah’s younger sister, so that makes me your elder sister too. You can call me Helen.”

“I’m Winson.”

“What a sweet name. Hi, Winson,” Helen repeated his name tenderly, ruffling his hair as she smiled brightly.

Why is she calling his name like that? She’s so cheesy. Jason felt a gush of jealousy when he heard Helen saying Winson’s name. If it were not for Fabian, he would have lashed out at the girl.

“Are you very close to him? Call him Mr. Blackwood,” Jason said snarkily.

“Mr. Blackwood? I like calling him Winson,” she insisted.

Hannah looked at the two and joined the conversation. “Don’t mind him, Helen. Jason’s just not used to you calling him Winson.”

“Fine. You can just do whatever you want,” Jason said to Helen begrudgingly.

“What’s wrong with showing my love for Winson? I like the way I call his name,” Helen said, tilting her head to one side as she thought.

“Don’t you like me calling your name, Winson?” she turned and asked, using an exceptionally sweet voice.

Hannah was totally at a loss for words, and so was Jason.

Jason really felt like going up to her and giving her a punch. Does she have to rub it in my face?

“Actually, Jason’s right. I’m not really used to strangers calling me so intimately,” Winson said awkwardly.

Helen looked at Jason spitefully and wondered what charm the guy had over her younger brother. In their first encounter, Jason was no more than an unreasonable thug to her.

Jason spotted the despise written all over her face, but he could only swallow his anger with Fabian around.

Hannah could not stand the enmity between the two anymore. “Helen, this is Jason Goldstein. You must’ve heard of Goldstein Group. It belongs to his family.”

With Hannah introducing him formally, Jason could not help but feel proud of himself. He straightened his back and looked loftily at Helen. Now you know who I am. Let’s see if you still have the guts to treat me like this ever again. It’s time to show some respect. You should be calling me Mr. Goldstein.

“I see. That explains his behavior. He’s from a prestigious family,” Helen commented, nodding away at Jason.

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1148

Jason smirked at the clueless girl. How dare you lecture me just now?

A sly smile curved on his lips as he imagined Helen apologizing profusely to him. Mr. Goldstein, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know who you were back there. Please forgive me.

But Jason’s wish did not come through. Although Helen already found out who he was, she did not back down. She saw right through Jason and decided to just play his game, so she went up to Fabian instead.

“Fabian, did I do anything wrong just now? Even Hannah is taking his side, but I really don’t see why Jason was angry…” she entreated softly.

What is going on?

Jason scratched his head, trying to keep up with what was happening. You’d better not take her side, Fabian. I will not live in humiliation because of this impudent girl. Huh, I need to do something.

He went over to Hannah and put up a pitiful face.

“Hannah, you’ve got to be on my side…”

Before Jason could speak any further, Fabian had already interjected him. “You can just call Winson however you like. He’s your brother, and I don’t think Jason will really mind.”

……

Fabian! How could you do this to me? I’ve always stood by you all this time. You can’t just betray me because of a girl you just met!

Life is so unfair! Life is good for this girl just because she has a beautiful sister.

Jason knew all was gone. Now that Fabian had spoken, there was nothing he could do anymore. He knew if he continued making a fuss, he would be sent back to the Goldstein family.

“Thanks, Fabian. You’re the best!” Helen said with a wide smile on her face.

Her brows curved in triumph as she shot Jason a smug smile. “Even Fabian thinks there’s no reason for you to be angry with me,” she whispered at Jason as she back walked toward Winson.

Bruh! A gush of fury took over Jason. He felt like he could just kill her there and then.

Hannah tried her best to ease the situation. “Helen can be impertinent sometimes, but she has a kind heart. I hope you don’t mind.”

She’s kind? My foot!

Jason wanted to refute Hannah, but considering who she was to Fabian, he put up a smile instead. “I’m glad you know she’s the one at fault here. But what can I do? I have to put up with all this just to make sure he doesn’t send me back to my father,” he replied, “I hope you could at least say some nice things about me when you’re with Fabian. I really don’t want to go back.”

……

A subtle smile played on Hannah’s lips. She was not expecting Jason to make a request like this. “I’d definitely do that. Don’t worry,” she said immediately.

Seeing how she readily agreed to help, Jason finally smiled. It no longer mattered if he was right or Helen was right now that he got Hannah on his side. At least he knew Fabian would not send him back to his father.

“Winson,” Helen called out in the same endearing tone as earlier.

Jason and Winson looked at her simultaneously.

Seriously. Why does she have to keep rubbing it in my face?

“Hey, what are you looking at? I’m talking to my brother,” Helen asked Jason with a smirk on her face.

“Winson, how’s life over at the Blackwoods? I heard from Dad and Mom that life was pretty good for you over there. Make sure you learn some good things in that family, okay? Don’t end up being insolent and proud like someone. Some rich people think they are better than everyone else just because they have money. That’s not a right mindset to have,” Helen said, stealing a look at Jason.

“Don’t worry, Helen. I’ll didn’t learn anything bad, and I don’t think like that too,” Winson replied, enjoying all the attention Helen was giving him.

Hannah saw Jason was on the verge of breaking down, so she asked her sister to tell Winson a story and tuck him to bed. “Helen, tell Jason a story before he sleeps.”

“Alright,” Helen agreed softly. She knew her sister was trying to help Jason.

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1149

Jason was extremely grateful to Hannah for coming to his rescue, especially when Fabian had turned his back against him.

“Winson, I’ll tell you a story, alright? What about the story of the Big Bad Wolf?” Helen suggested awkwardly. Winson was not a boy anymore. She really did not know why her sister made her tell him a story. There were a lot of other things she could do. She was not even sure if Winson would like it.

“Sure, Helen,” Winson replied. His mother used to tell him bedtime stories when he was a kid until the day she left. No one else in the Blackwood family had ever read him any stories after that. In fact, there was no one he could talk to in the family. Now that Helen offered to tell him a story, he was all excited and moved.

His enthusiasm caught Helen by surprise.

“Well, this is how it goes. A long, long time ago, there lived a big bad wolf,” Helen began, with a particular emphasis on the words “big bad wolf”.

Jason was speechless and gave up defending. Is that even necessary?

It’s not like I offended you big time! Why can’t you just get over it?

I really didn’t know you’re Hannah’s sister, so you can’t blame me. Plus, I have already apologized. Why do you have to be so petty?

If she were not Hannah’s sister, he would have taught her a good lesson.

“It’s really bad luck I ran into someone so trivial.” Jason shook his head and sighed. “I’ll go get a smoke outside,” he said, walking out of the room.

He could not stand spending another minute in that room. God knew what Helen would do to irritate him again.

Jason went to the smoking area and lighted a cigarette. He took a deep puff and blew out a mouthful of smoke as he thought of a way to get back at Helen. “I need to do something. I can’t just let her have her way.”

A thought suddenly came to Jason. I can tell a story too! I can use my story to insinuate innuendos too.

“Ha! I’ll let her have a taste of her own medicine.” A victorious smile curved on his lips as he dragged the cigarette again.

He walked out of the smoking area and walked down the corridor slowly so Helen could finish her story before he went in.

You’re so dead. I’ll make sure you pay for humiliating me. Jason had already had a story in his mind. He just needed to tell it to Winson.

“Excuse me, is Hannah here?” a voice shook him back from his thoughts.

Xavier had his quintessential smile on his face when he approached Jason.

Not again. Jason scrutinized the man as he tried to figure out who this man was. Xavier was in his suit and he had a bouquet of carnations in his hand.

Bingo! This must be her elder brother. I have to seize this opportunity and get on his good side.

A smile slowly emerged on Jason’s face. “Are you looking for Hannah? I’m her brother. It’s really nice meeting. Don’t just stand here, come on in. She’ll be really happy to see you.”

Speaking, Jason took his arm and led Xavier to Hannah’s VIP ward.

Xavier was rather confused. Hannah has a brother? I didn’t know that. Xavier looked befuddled, but since Jason was so enthusiastic, and even offered to bring him to Hannah, he just followed along.

Jason pushed open the door and ushered Xavier in. “Hey guys, see who’s here!”

Jason’s eyes curved in a delighted smile as he looked at Fabian.

He was feeling so good about what he had done. See, Fabian. I did you a favor this time. You don’t have to thank me though. You just need to give me your Lincoln limousine. That would be very kind of you. I never had the chance to check the car out.

Contrary to Jason’s expectation, not only did Fabian not compliment him, Hannah did not seem excited at all. “Who is this?” Helen asked.

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1150

What? Isn’t he your brother? Why are you even asking? Don’t tell me I got the wrong person. He clearly said he was looking for Hannah.

Behind Jason, Xavier looked at Helen in curiosity. She was caressing Winson’s head when she turned around.

This must be Hannah’s sister, and that person on the bed must be the guy from the Blackwood family who did the bone marrow donation operation with Hannah.

Xavier shifted his gaze and met Fabian’s unwelcoming glare.

The smile disappeared from his face and a frown deepened on his brows. What on earth is he doing here?

“Why are you here?” Hannah spoke before Xavier could even say a word. She was not expecting him to be here. What was more unexpected was that Jason actually brought him over here. It was obvious that he had no idea about the conflict between Fabian and Xavier.

Xavier’s gaze fell on Hannah, who was lying weakly on the bed. She looked paler than usual, but she was still beautiful in his eyes.

“I happen to pass by, so I decided to just stop by since you just finished your operation,” Xavier replied, a smile reappearing on his face.

I knew it. I knew they knew each other. I’d never get the wrong person. He might not be her elder brother, but he must be her relative or colleague. But regardless of who he is, I did the right thing bringing him here.

“I was asking around for your room number when I met him. He claimed to be your brother, and led me to your room,” Xavier explained when he saw Hannah looking at Jason and himself.

Yep, that’s right. That’s how you return a favor to someone who helped you.

“He was looking for you outside, so I brought him over,” Jason added, “You don’t have to thank me. I’m just doing what I’m supposed to do.”

Jason looked at Helen from the corner of his eyes as he talked to Hannah.

Helen just stared at him. What’s so great about that? You simply led him to the room. Is that something to be proud of?

Helen sensed Fabian’s antipathic glare at Xavier, and she instantly understood everything. “It seems like you did a really good job,” she said sarcastically.

Of course!

Jason sensed the exaggeration in her voice, but he still did not know the real reason.

Are you jealous?

He glared at Helen before turning toward Fabian. “Fabian, I did you a favor this time.”

Is this guy stupid or something? It’s so obvious that Fabian is not happy to see this man?

Helen looked at Xavier and guessed he must be Fabian’s love rival. There was no other explanation for the gloom on Fabian’s face when he saw Xavier. Mmm, this guy is not bad-looking either. I can only say Hannah certainly has the charms.

“Yeah. You did a good job,” Fabian said slowly and coldly.

“Thanks. You don’t have to…” Jason swallowed his words when he felt a penetrating glare running through his body.

What’s happening. Did I bring someone I’m not supposed to? Gosh, I have to run. Fabian’s glare is killing me.

Jason let off a rigid cough and tried coming up with an excuse. “Um, I… I need to go pee. You guys have fun. Bye.”

With that said, he turned and ran out of the room.

Helen almost burst out laughing looking at him fleeing, but she did all she could to restrain herself. It was certainly not the right time to laugh. The tension in the room was escalating.
