Hannah’s reason for meeting Saul was Bryson.
“Yes, I recall treating Grace,” Saul sighed.
“Her condition is baffling. In all my years in medicine, I’ve never encountered anything like it. We’ve tried everything we can think of, but all we’re doing is buying time.”
After a pause, he queried, “Has he been in touch with you?”
Hannah shrugged.
“I’m not sure how he found out who I am.
Saul quickly defended himself.
“I’ve kept my Lips sealed. You told me not to say anything, and I didn’t.”

Hannah was at a loss for words.
“I knew it! Four years and you’ve never treated anyone? I don’t believe it.” Saul’s eyes were full of distrust.
“You’re out there healing people while keeping all these medical skills from me, aren’t you?”
Swearing to vindicate herself, Hannah began, “I promise, for these last four years, I have never… I’ve tried my best… Maybe I haven’t… treated anyone else…”
As she spoke, her conviction wavered. She saw the mixture of shock, sadness, and suspicion on Saul’s face, as though she were some kind of villain.
Feeling compelled to reassure him, she said, “Fine. Once the university semester starts, I’ll pick up some extra classes to Lighten your load.”
“Deal!” Saul exclaimed, practically skipping away to brew some coffee for her.
Despite being a renowned medical expert and a respected guest at top -tier universities, even commanding respect from the influential Mitchell family, Saul was like a playful child around her. Hannah felt a touch overwhelmed by it all.
As she left the hospital, her thoughts drifted back to her recent clash with Declan. She wanted to minimize their interactions.
She texted him, “Free this afternoon? Have you given any thought to what we discussed?” No reply came.
Growing frustrated, she sent more messages.
“It’s you who proposed it. So why hesitate now?”
“I don’t have the luxury of pestering you endlessly. Can you be direct?”
“You’re not the world’s only busy person, you know.”
