“I can handle lies from anyone else, but not from you.”
As Bryson gazed at Hannah, he turned back and grabbed the steering wheel. “Alright, you have my word.”
Gazing at the side of Bryson’s face, Hannah blurted out, “Bryson.”
“Yes?” Bryson answered, turning his head to meet her gaze.
Hannah leaned in and softly ki*sed Bryson’s lips.
After the ki*s, she tried to pull away, but found herself held in place by a strong arm!
Bryson returned her ki*s passionately, making the air in the car warm up. Finally, he released Hannah, both of them catching their breath.
Under the moonlight, her lips looked red and shiny. Bryson lifted his hand to gently touch her cheek. “I’ve been thinking. It might not be a good idea for you to accept Remington’s invitation.”
“Why?” While still resting her arm on Bryson’s shoulder, Hannah’s eyes, once clouded, began to clear. “I need a reason.”
Bryson turned to face her and explained, “I have this feeling it’s a setup meant for you.”
“That can’t be.”

To her surprise, Bryson shared her suspicion, yet Hannah kept her face unreadable.
“Even if it is a trap, it’s probably because of the Compton family.
With my people and you, we can handle it. If I don’t show up, Joselyn will take my place. Then, I might end up in a weaker position.”
Bryson looked deeply at Hannah, then slowly nodded. “When we’re there, I won’t be able to openly watch out for you. Just make sure you’re careful.”
Hannah smiled and said, “I know. I had no idea you were so worried before.”
Bryson fell silent for a brief moment after hearing her words.
He lifted his gaze, eyes deep, and looked at Hannah intently. What he left unsaid was his own surprise at how dangerous their situation had become.
“Go ahead,” Bryson uttered with a hint of detachment. “I’ll be here watching you.”
“Okay.”
Hannah opened the car door, stepped out, and waved to Bryson through the window. She then turned and walked towards the entrance of Compton Manor.
As Hannah’s figure vanished through the gate, Bryson glanced down and started the car to leave.
He then called Caleb. “Send me the location of the mental hospital.
I’m heading over now.”
