Hannah shared the sentiment, yet…
Hannah found it odd hearing this from Bryson.
“Why are you staring at me like that?”
Noticing Hannah’s look, Bryson responded with a playful glance.
Hannah immediately took her eyes off him and cast her eyes downward to her shoes.
“I just find it quite strange for someone abnormal like you to label others as abnormal.”
“Don’t worry, I’m heading out soon.”
“Where are we going?” Hannah asked without thinking.
“Newfort.”
Hannah felt her heart race!
Rocco had gone overseas alone. Could it be that Bryson knew Rocco was onto something?

To her surprise, Bryson confirmed with a nod.
“Yes, there’s an issue.”

He then turned to her, questioning, “Why are you so concerned about me?”
“Concerned about you? I’m just… just…”
Struggling to find a suitable reason, Hannah eventually stopped trying to argue.
“Grace just got back to Valmere and hasn’t seen you, and you’re leaving now?”
“Let’s discuss that when I come back.” When Grace was mentioned, Bryson’s expression grew somewhat frosty.
“Please don’t inform her that I’ll be going abroad for a while.”
Hannah could tell there was something off in Bryson’s tone.
Yet she couldn’t ask further. In a soft voice, she acknowledged, “Understood.”
Once back in her hotel room, Hannah closed the door and took a deep breath. She closed her eyes to rest for a moment.
The day had been overwhelming, almost too much to handle.
