She was unsure if she could source the information alone. Even if she could, it would be quite difficult for her to bring Felicia to justice.
Felicia was Leo’s wife. If anything were to happen, Leo would certainly not stand on ceremony. With his wealth and manpower, Felicia would escape the situation unscathed as long as he could whip up enough cash.
“Hannah, I understand everything. If you need any help, just tell me. I’m here for you,” Natasha assured her after giving it some thought.
She decided to report what she heard to Fabian later.
Hannah nodded and replied with a smile, “Of course I will.”
But in actual fact, Hannah did not think Natasha could be of any help. After all, from her point of view, the woman was a foreign student from Remdik who was not familiar with Chanaea, so what kind of help could she possibly provide? However, it was nice to know that Natasha was willing to offer her services.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this. It’s getting late. Let’s go get something to eat,” Hannah suggested after she managed to calm down.
“Okay, just give me a minute. I need to use the loo,” Natasha said as she rose from her seat and headed to the toilet.
After she entered the toilet, she turned back to observe Hannah and realized that the woman had not left the room. She seemed to be packing something.
Natasha closed the washroom door and turned on the faucet to prevent Hannah from overhearing her. After she had done all that, Natasha fished out her phone and called Fabian.
“Hello, Mr. Norton. I’m Natasha,” Natasha declared her identity to Fabian.
“Huh? Why are you calling me at this time? Where’s Hannah? Shouldn’t you be with her?” Fabian asked, equal parts surprised and worried.
If Hannah discovered Natasha’s identity, it would only complicate things.
He knew that, based on Hannah’s character, the woman he loved would definitely order Natasha to leave if she ever found out about her identity. If that happened, Natasha could no longer serve as Hannah’s companion. In case of any imminent danger, no one would be able to protect Hannah.
Natasha was aware of Fabian’s worries. She peered out the door before she proceeded to explain to him quietly over the phone, “Mr. Norton, don’t worry. Hannah doesn’t suspect me. We are currently in the house which the company has assigned to her. We’re going to grab a bite later but before that Hannah has just revealed some information to me. I’m calling from the washroom to report to you what I’ve just learned.”
“What is it?” Fabian asked Natasha inquisitively.
He was quite familiar with the woman and trusted that she knew when to act and how. To call him at a time like that, he supposed she must have something urgent to tell him.
“Mr. Norton, do you know how Hannah’s birth mother died?”
There was a short pause, and then Natasha went on without waiting for Fabian to respond.
“Hannah found her mother’s diary at her family home. It turns out that her mother did not suffer from severe depression, despite what others have claimed. So, Hannah suspects that someone must have drugged her mother. Hannah returned this time in order to get to the bottom of her mother’s death.”
“Okay, I see. Thank you. Also, Natasha, if you have updates for me next time, don’t call. Text me instead. Remember, you must not reveal your identity. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up the phone now.” Fabian let out a long sigh after Natasha relayed the information to him.
“Yes, Mr. Norton.”
Natasha responded and hung up the phone too. She got up from the toilet seat. In order not to arouse suspicion from Hannah, she even flushed the toilet before stepping out of the washroom.
After the phone conversation ended, Fabian grimaced. His eyes turned cold, so much so that the air around him practically froze. He did not have to spare much thought to deduce that Hannah’s suspect was none other than Felicia of the Blackwood family.
In the past, he spent very little effort to investigate the case, since Hannah considered it her family’s private affair and, therefore, did not allow Fabian to intervene. Unexpectedly, that particular mystery turned out to be Fabian’s “saving grace”. Otherwise, Hannah might not have returned.
