The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

The next morning, Hannah woke to find Bryson gone.

After she finished washing up, the door opened, and the smell of food drifted in.

Bryson, dressed more casually than usual, seemed more relaxed.

“I went and got your favorite breakfast.

Make sure you eat.

”

“Okay,” Hannah said, leaning back against the bed and blinking slowly.

“The doctor told me yesterday that if all goes well, my eyesight should return to normal next month.

”

“Okay,” Bryson said as he passed her the food.

“I’ve decided.

Once your eyes are better, you should return to the Compton family with Maloney.

”

Hannah took a bite of the food.

She wasn’t surprised by Bryson’s statement.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“What’s the matter? Is it because of the trouble between the Garza and Moreno families? Are you trying to get me out of here?”

After a pause, she realized what he was implying.

She said casually, “Do you think I’ll be safe if I just flee abroad?”

Bryson responded, “At least the Chadwich family isn’t what it used to be.

It will be safer for you overseas.

”

“I don’t want to run.

No matter where I go, they’ll find me.

I’ll never truly be free.

” Hannah said, “I appreciate your concern for me.

But I don’t want to live in hiding.

Moreover, even without the Garza family, there are still others out there who will come after me.

”

For instance, Leviathan, hidden in the shadows, was poised to strike like a viper.

Hiding was futile.

Moreover, she didn’t need to hide.

After a brief pause, Hannah added, “I want to live in the sunlight, not hide in the shadows.

”

She didn’t need to rely on any influential figure.

She was strong enough to defend herself.

Bryson observed her resolute profile and remained silent for a long time.

Eventually, he chuckled.

“I knew you’d say that because that’s just who you are.

”

“What?” Hannah turned to hear what Bryson would say next.

Bryson looked deeply into her eyes and said earnestly, “No matter what happens, remember that I’m always here for you.

”

“Okay.

” Hannah smiled, and the tension from their earlier disagreement seemed to dissolve at that moment.

After the Garza family incident subsided, things calmed down for a bit.

Saul’s treatment appeared to be working, as Hannah mentioned.

About a week later, Saul came to examine Hannah’s eyes again.

She was sensitive to the light.

Saul waved his finger before her and asked, “Can you see this number clearly?”
