“Since your issue’s sorted, I’ll head out. You should go home early.”
Seeing Bowen avoid an argument with Oswald, Hannah sighed in relief.
Sensing the tension, Bryson turned to Hannah and said, “What just happened? Did he give you a hard time?”

Oswald was about to retort, but Hannah intervened, “No, I’m fine. You should head home now.”
Although Bryson sensed something was amiss, Hannah was not forthcoming, so he didn’t force her.
Bryson nodded and didn’t inquire about the identity of the older man with Hannah. “Alright. I’ll head off then.”
After Bryson departed, Hannah and Oswald left together.
Keith and Trent had been waiting in Oswald’s car for a while. When they saw Hannah climb in, they smiled.
“Hannah, if we had known you had such influential support, we wouldn’t have worried so much.”
Seated up front, Hannah buckled her seat belt, amused. “Even without these connections, I would’ve been okay. They brought this on themselves. The police have it all on video.”

From the back seat, Oswald cheerfully said, “The old fellows at the Research Institute can’t wait for me to bring you back. How about joining them for dinner tonight?”
“Sure.” It wasn’t a good time for Hannah to decline. “Can I bring my two brothers along?”
Oswald was in high spirits today. He chuckled and said, “Bring as many people as you like. We old men don’t eat much; we just enjoy your company.”
It had been years since they had last seen each other. Hannah didn’t want to let them down, so she readily agreed.
As Keith stepped into the private room, he froze as if shocked.
These big shots had made headlines before. They were all top-notch at the Research Institute. How did they all know Hannah?
Moreover, they gathered around Hannah, asking about her health and showing affection for her.
After mingling for a bit, Hannah noticed her two overwhelmed companions.
“Oh, I forgot to introduce you two.”
Turning to Keith and Trent, Hannah said, “These are my brothers from the Compton family.”
Under the watchful eyes of several big shots in medical research, Keith and Trent had never felt more nervous than they did at that moment.
Almost simultaneously, they stood up and lifted their glasses. “Hello, everyone. We are Hannah’s brothers. My name is Keith, and this is Trent.”
A bit more composed than Keith, Trent added, “Mr. Oswald Lynn, thank you for supporting Hannah today.”
Oswald shook his hand and said, “Hannah is one of the most promising talents in medicine we’ve ever seen. It’s truly a loss that she left after graduation, and we still regret it.”
