Hannah responded with poise, “There’s no need for any reward.
Fulfilling my promise to Mr. Mitchell is its own compensation. I’ll do everything in my power to heal Miss Mitchell.”
“I understand you are Mr. Campbell’s youngest apprentice.” Franco’s tone was somewhat icy when he addressed Hannah, as if displeased by her unexpected presence.
“Word has it that you’ve surpassed your mentor? Is that true?”
“That’s merely gossip. My teacher devoted his life to medicine, and I aim to follow in his footsteps.”
Upon hearing this, Franco’s expression softened. The sincerity behind Hannah’s words struck a chord with him.
Though he’d heard rumors, his impression of Hannah took a turn for the better after meeting her face-to-face.
“Franco, Miss Moore is exceptional. She took down assailants in Muvrand, averting disaster.” Melina related the incident to Franco as if sharing an amusing tale.
“When Dad found out, he summoned me back to Valmere that very night and forbade me to venture to Muvrand on business for a while. On that note, I owe Miss Moore my gratitude.”
Melina tilted her head, offering a smile towards Bryson.
“Bryson, think you can help me pick a thoughtful gift for Miss Moore?”
Hannah smiled, gracefully declining, “Miss Mitchell was in the vehicle then. I should apologize to Miss Glyn for the extreme actions I took to protect us.”

“That’s awesome!” Upon hearing Hannah, Grace hugged her tightly, exclaiming, “Grandpa, you have no idea! Hannah was so incredible that fear never crossed my mind! It was Hannah who shielded us. She owes no apologies!”
Melina planned to shift the conversation to Hannah’s skill with firearms, but Grace diverted it.

However, Franco abruptly delved into Hannah’s history, asking, “Miss Moore, you recently went through a divorce, right?”
Seizing the opportunity, Melina fanned the flames, echoing Franco’s sentiments.
Standing firmly, Bryson approached Hannah, his gaze intense yet devoid of emotion, asserting, “Her personal affairs are not for you to question.”
As years passed since that particular event, Bryson’s disposition had starkly contrasted with his grandfather’s.
Franco often engaged in heated confrontation with Bryson. Yet, deep within, he held immense pride for his eldest grandson.
But now, Bryson’s words had reignited his fury.
Before the situation could escalate, Hannah’s clear voice intervened.
“Mr. Mitchell, I sense that Mr. Franco Mitchell holds me in high regard, leading to his personal inquiries.”
With her eyes downcast and a radiant smile, Hannah continued, “Yes, I recently ended an ill-fated marriage. Persisting with it would have been the real mistake.”
“Hmm.” Alexandra chimed in from the sidelines, “That’s true. You’re very sensible, Miss Moore. It’s clear why Grace adores you.”
