During her recovery days, Hannah experienced unprecedented peace.
With Johanna away and Edwin at his job, Hannah’s only duties were to eat and sleep. She’d wake up, eat, and count the hours until her next slumber.
Time flew by, and after a week, Hannah’s back was nearly healed, with a scab forming. She figured it’d be better in another week.
Thus, Hannah started to tackle her work remotely. While sorting through her work files, a WhatsApp notification caught her eye.
It was a message from Rocco, his profile picture popping up.
“Hannah. I had my contact in Newfort investigate, but apart from Bryson’s medical records and academic credentials, all other leads have gone cold.”
“It appears someone is intentionally trying to keep us from discovering it. Even if my contact did manage to find any information, it might not be genuine.”
“If we keep digging this way, it might be pointless. I’m considering flying to Newfort soon to see things for myself.”
Hannah’s brows furrowed as she read these messages. She responded swiftly, “No way! You shouldn’t go digging into this alone! Besides, it’s not crucial anymore. I already know the outcome and I don’t need the details of it.”
“Focus on your studies instead. I’ve just spoken with Mr. Campbell and learned that they’ve got a new drug for treating legs in Newfort.
I’ll go check it out myself soon.”
Knowing Rocco’s character well, Hannah included an additional line in her message.
“Don’t even think about going alone. If I discover you’ve traveled to Newfort alone, I’ll be furious!”
Seated in his room, Rocco gazed at the thoughtful messages from Hannah on his computer screen, and a small smile crept onto his face.
He snapped the Laptop closed. He was going to ignore Hannah’s advice this time.

His gaze grew intense with resolve. His mind was made up to make the trip.
With no more messages coming, Hannah couldn’t help but feel helpless.
Rocco’s eccentric personality made her words ineffective. Her only wish was that he wouldn’t decide to go to Newfort alone.
Then, there was a knock at her door.
Hannah’s voice carried through.
“Come in.”
Edwin cautiously nudged the door, unveiling his face.
“Hey, Hannah, got a moment?”
“sure. Hannah shut down her laptop and eyed Edwin curiously, “What’s going on?”
