“What is it?” Fabian asked, wondering if Hannah had regained consciousness.
“M-Mrs. Norton has regained consciousness—”
Putting his documents aside, he interrupted her, “Alright, I’ll head over immediately.”
Knowing that he was about to hang up the call and rush over to the hospital, she yelled, “Wait! I’m not done yet!”
“What?”
Frustrated after losing the child, Fabian would have lost his cool if it weren’t because of his exceptional self-restraint capability.
“Ms. Young left the hospital.”
“What? She’s left the hospital? What kind of joke is this? Who the heck allowed her to be discharged? Send him my way immediately! If anything happens to Hannah, it will be the end of him!”
He couldn’t keep his composure anymore because Hannah was supposed to have at least a week’s bed rest, given her frail state.
But now that she had been discharged much earlier than that, her body might not be able to take it.
“She didn’t acquire anyone’s consent to be discharged, insisting on going home. After we were back, she locked me in my room and left on her own.”
Natasha knew that Fabian would be infuriated, yet she braced herself and told him the truth.
“Come again? Why the heck didn’t you report something so important earlier? Are you sure you’re a qualified bodyguard?” Fabian spouted harsh remarks at Natasha.
No one could possibly remain calm when their beloved spouse had miscarried because of someone else’s malicious scheme. To make matters worse, Hannah had become barren. If something bad were to happen to her, Fabian would spend the rest of his life in guilt and sorrow.
“I…”
Natasha knew Fabian must have missed her text message because he was way too occupied. Moreover, she was the one at fault because she could have stopped Hannah from leaving the hospital by informing Fabian of her plan.
“Where are you? Where was Hannah heading to?”
Fabian had no time to reprimand Natasha. Instead, he needed to figure out Hannah’s current whereabouts to stop her from leaving.
Unfortunately, Natasha had no idea. She answered, “I’m currently in front of the villa, but I’m clueless about her whereabouts.”
Fabian hung up the call immediately and made another call to instruct his trusted aide. He yelled into the phone, “I want the entire city to be sealed immediately! Get in touch with those from the police station and get them to set up barricades on all major highways! Search for Hannah! If she’s not found, all of you will be terminated!”
After ending the call, he headed out of his office and returned to the villa to gather all the details from Natasha.
He was overwhelmed by regret because he should have stayed with Hannah instead of returning to the company.
Nonetheless, he had no choice because Phoenix Group was in the midst of a crisis after Lyna plotted against him.
Should he fail to solve the issues in time, things might spiral out of control. Worst of all, the Norton family might not be one of the five prominent families anymore. Moreover, he needed to avenge Hannah too, so his trip back to his office was inevitable.
Meanwhile, Hannah, who was in the cab, looked out the window and started weeping as she stared at the trees that were disappearing from sight.
When she saw her favorite pizza joint, she reached her quivering finger out and pointed at it.
The moment she figured out that she had lost the ability to conceive, her mind went completely blank.
Because of her deep love for Fabian, she couldn’t bear to have him live a life without a complete family.
She knew the proud man would not want to live a miserable life without a successor to inherit the empire he had built.
