The call concluded. Grace lounged on the couch, cradling a teddy bear.
She tilted her head and toyed with the bear’s head, saying, “Bryson, why do you always use me as an excuse to see Hannah?”
Smiling at Grace, Bryson inquired, “Don’t you also want to meet her?”
“I definitely do.” Grace pouted cutely.

“Hannah is so kind and gorgeous. How could I not miss her?”
Regrettably, the planned dinner had to be canceled.
Hannah sent Lydia home first, then hailed a taxi to Bryson’s house.
As the butler escorted her inside, she seemed tense.
“Why is she having trouble breathing all of a sudden? Has the family doctor been summoned?”
“Yes, the doctor is here. Miss Grace is using an oxygen mask in her room. I’ll take you to her.”
“Alright.”
To her relief, upon her arrival, Hannah found Grace in good spirits, conversing with a girl beside the bed.
“Hey, Hannah!” Grace’s eyes sparkled when she saw Hannah. She waved Hannah over, saying, “Come on in!”
Hannah quickly moved to Grace’s side and grasped her hand.

“There’s no need to worry, Hannah. It was just an allergy. I’ve taken my meds. Did I frighten you?” Grace offered Hannah a reassuring blink.
Relieved, Hannah shook her head.
“No, I’m just glad you’re okay. What caused the allergic reaction?”
“It was the cookies I baked. Grace has always enjoyed them without any issues. But the doctor says she’s a bit vulnerable now, even milk could set off an allergy. I’m the one to blame.”
Only then did Hannah’s eyes fall upon the unfamiliar young woman in an apricot dress sitting at the edge of the bed. Her hair rested softly on her shoulders.
The girl stood, guilt coloring her features. She carried a gentle and elegant air about her. Meeting Hannah’s gaze, she introduced herself courteously.
“You must be Miss Moore, whom Bryson asked to look after Grace. My name is Melina Glyn. Please, call me Melina as Bryson does.”
Returning the smile, Hannah replied, “Feel free to call me Hannah.”
Beaming, Melina added, “Both Bryson and I have been caught up with work. We appreciate you looking after Grace.”
