Chapter 31 "Madman, what are you doing?" Jenna forgot about her sadness, her whole face went pale and she tried to stop him. Hansen had no expression on his face. His eyes were fixed to the front, and the Hummer was racing at a high speed. After a while, the car arrived at a suburb. Jenna looked outside. She saw a large number of abandoned vehicles piled up against the wall, with a sign saying 'Vehicle Administrative Services. She immediately understood. He had brought her here to find her car. "Go and look for it yourself. If you find it, just drive it away. I will call them to let them know." Hansen stopped the car and said angrily to Jenna, Jenna was ecstatic, her tearful face showed a pure and lovely smile as though a little girl just received her favorite doll She rushed down and could not wait to get inside. Hansen looked at her in astonishment as she ran out of the car. He had a strange feeling in his heart. It became increasingly hard to understand this woman. It didn't look like she was acting on purpose, but she indeed made him to give her a check that could buy ten of those cheap, broken cars. He shook his head. This woman really puzzled him! Soon, Jenna drove the Beetle out slowly. Hansen touched his forehead with his hand and a sinister look appeared in his eyes. He opened the door and walked out. "Mr. Richards, I'll head home first," Jenna rolled down the window and greeted Hansen, who was standing next to his car, with a smile on her face. Hansen's face was dark, and one of his hands quickly reached out to grab her arm "Get down," he ordered in a deep voice. "Ah!" Jenna was shocked. Before she could understand what was going on, she saw Mike, the driver for the Richards family, standing outside politely What was happening? Jenna was still in a daze. Hansen reached out his other hand, unlocked the door from inside, and pulling Jenna down like a baby chick Mike, the driver, got in her car quickly, fastened the seat belt, stepped on the accelerator and drove the Beetle away. "Hansen, what do you mean by this?" Jenna was so shocked that she couldn't speak coherently, so she yelled at Hansen angrily "I'm going to keep the car for you first," Hansen said, "From today until the day you complete the car design, you can't leave my sight" His fair fingers lifted her chin lightly. He lowered his head, and looked into her eyes with an evil smile on his face. He said word by word, charming and overbearing, 'From now on, you are going to eat and sleep with me. I'll supervise you personally. I can't trust you completely." She must have heard it wrong; it must have been her hallucination. Jenna shook her head in disbelief, However, Hansen ignored her and took her by the arm and walked car toward his No, she did not hear it wrongly. She was being controlled by him and he was restraining her personal freedom! Was there no law in the world now? How could he do that! She was about to spew her words of resistance. However, he stood in front of her with a dark look on his face and exhaled a hot breath. "Don't think that I'm a fool. You came to my company to work as the head of design just so you can get a hold of the company's secret, and then hook up with Rayan behind my back. Who would believe you? Who knows if you're a spy he sent? Don't think that I'm so easy to fool. For a shameless woman like you, I need to exercise extra caution. From now on, you can only belong to me. I will only feel safe if I do this. When he said this, Hansen did not feel like he was being too much. Then he saw her biting her lips and trembling with anger, her face was as red as rouge. She opened her mouth but could not make a sound. Then he smiled softly and said in her ear, "Don't feel too bad. I know this kind of woman like you. If I trusted in a flirty woman like you, that would be a joke. It wasn't luck that got Richards Group to where it is today!. You better not fool around, and don't try to play any tricks." As soon as Hansen said this, his face suddenly became icy, and his eyes were gloomy With little strength, he lifted Jenna up and walked to the Hummer. He reached out to take out a stack of papers from the seat and said in a tone of command, "Sign it. Jenna was completely stunned. She didn't know what had happened. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand so tightly that she couldn't get rid of it but could only follow him. She saw the word 'Contract' on the paper and immediately had a bad feeling. She struggled with all her might and opened her mouth to shout. His hot lips immediately sealed her red lips, biting on it, tossing and turning, and then sticking them together perfectly, stopping her from making a sound again He occupied her every breath, and she struggled to breathe. Hansen held the back of her head with one strong hand, continued to bite her lips, and grabbed her little hand with his other hand, Jenna felt he's holding his finger and then placed some wet liquid on it. But her brain went blank. Soon she felt his hot palm grabbing her index finger and it was forced to press down hard on a piece of paper. Her fingerprint! At this moment, she was so angry that she almost fainted. She was almost unconscious and she fell down softly Hansen let go of her lips, breathed a sigh of relief, then he stuck his lips on hers again. Suddenly, Jenna felt that there was some fresh air in her lungs and she gradually regained her consciousness. She opened her eyes. Hansen had a proud and bright smile on his face. There was a loud noise in her mind. She pushed him away and hurriedly looked at the car seat. The fingerprint of her index finger was right on the contract, glaring in a blood red color. She was so shocked that she picked up the contract and looked at it with widened eyes. It turned out to be an employment contract for Richards Group Having her fingerprint on the contract meant that she had signed the contract. All of these, done in one breath, and all done within the duration of his forceful kiss. He did not want to get her approval at all! Jenna was totally pissed off. And that damn bastard was standing in front of her, smiling complacently, as if he was still enjoying that kiss! Jenna finally learned that there was such a scoundrel, such an unreasonable person existed in this world. She thought she had gone crazy. She threw herself at Hansen and tried her best to snatch it. Even if she died, and even if she couldn't beat him, she wanted to bite him at least. He should know that being bullied did not feel good. Hansen was in a good mood, so he didn't expect Jenna to pounce on him like this. She scratched him on the neck and he became very irritated. This woman's strength was nothing to him! He grabbed her hands, threw her on the back seat, and pressed himself on top of her. He warned her fiercely, "Woman, if you struggle again, be careful of what I'm going to do. If you stay put, all this wouldn't have to be so bad." Jenna was so frightened by his words that she did not dare to move. This guy could do whatever he wanted. His body temperature felt incredibly hot at the moment, Jenna knew the consequences if she reacted wrongly, so she just stayed put A smug smile appeared on Hansen's face. He stood up and looked at Jenna from head to toe with his good looking eyes, He said plainly, "For a woman like you, even if you were given to me, I can't even bother to care. Don't worry, as long as you're obedient, I'll make sure you're safe." He closed the door and started the car. The car growled and headed towards downtown Beast, demon! Jenna laid on the back seat. She wanted to cry but she had no tears. Right up till then, she admired Hannah very much Thinking of Hannah's analysis of Hansen and her advice, she felt that Hannah was extremely profound! She was digging her own grave. She couldn't blame anyone else! Jenna was completely defeated in this battle of forces! At the Collier Manor! Jenna laid on the sofa and didn't say anything. She was completely different now! According to the terms of the contract, she had essentially sold herself! Unless Hansen let her go, or when Richards Group no longer needed her design. only then could she leave the group. D This was her sadness, the sorrow she beckoned on her own. Hansen was sitting lazily on the sofa with a triumphant smile on his face, holding the newspaper and reading it with satisfaction His slender legs were crossed, and he looked at the woman beside him from time to time with a satisfied and pleasant smile on his face. Jenna was lying on the sofa in a light green skirt, motionless, like a lifeless doll. All her clothes were specially made by him, which were conservative and modest. Hansen didn't like her off-shoulder and low cut clothes, he thought that only in this way could she be slightly restrained and looked less flirtatious. The light green color of her skirt made her look like the grass that had just grown through the soil in spring, so delicate that she needed protection. The light red suit on her body was bright but not harsh on eyes, she wouldn't look so cool with it, which made him feel some warmth! The skirt's hem was just right and wasn't lower than her knees. Otherwise, it would be like a butterfly flying into a garden, one wrong move, and the bees would come circling the whole day, disgusting! The warm light shone on the golden and splendid living room. It was warm and quiet. Hansen suddenly felt peaceful and satisfied. It was a feeling that he had never felt before. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. He took out his work notebook and sat calmly on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking elegant and calm The keyboard was placed on his lap and his slender fingers were typing on it. He was working hard, but he was in a very good mood and soon got into the flow. He finished all the work that was piled up for a few days in just a moment, he was extremely efficient. Jenna was lying on the sofa. She did not cry or make a fuss. She looked quietly at the man beside her. Hansen's whole body and mind sank into his work. His thick sword-shaped eyebrows stretched, and a charming smile appeared on his beautiful side face from time to time. His strong body, porcelain-like skin, and handsome face were transmitting a kind of charm. Jenna gradually became confused. Wasn't this what she always wanted? She once longed for this kind of warm and quiet scene. In the year when she slept alone. Every night, she was eager to see him, hoping that his tall and majestic figure would come back to accompany her. Even if she could only sat there quietly with him, she felt at ease.
Chapter 32 A woman would want her beloved husband to be with her every day, and to spend all his time with her. She had been longing for this moment for so long. But now, she actually experienced what she had been dreaming of for just a fleeting moment. However, she felt extremely conflicted! She knew he loved Aria, but he was about to marry her! For Hansen, Jenna was just a woman he had abandoned. Now, for the sake of his company, he used his power to threaten her. She was merely a tool whom he had used to bring profits to his company Jenna felt a throbbing pain in her heart That year in university, as she exited the library amidst the setting sun, she ran into the masculine and handsome Hansen. He smiled at her, and his eyes seemed as if they could see right through to her heart. Jenna blushed! Actually, that was not the first time she saw him. She remembered that when she first met him, she was only fifteen years old. That day, her father had brought her to a party. She saw the grandmother of the Richards family who took her hand and asked her questions from time to time. However, her eyes were glued to the handsome and shy boy beside her. His mysterious temperament, steady behavior, and those eyes attracted her attention, but he never looked at her at all. He just kept staring outside, and did not pay her any attention at all. that time, she felt disappointed. Perhaps since then, her fate had already been decided! All the way to the traumatic heartbreak she was experiencing now. She took a deep breath. With a scene like this, deep down in her heart, she didn't even resist him. Even if there was only one night, even if he was to marry Aria tomorrow, she would enjoy this feeling. This was something that runs true for women. Once a woman falls in love, they would lose themselves, in way that wa almost akin themselves. sacrifi Jenna was like this now. She already felt that she was irredeemable. "What are you thinking about?" Suddenly Hansen had already finished his bath and came out of the bathroom. He was wearing simple pajamas, and they were of brilliant quality. The smooth and comfortable linen lined on his fit body, the mint scent from the shampoo pervading faintly. This kind of scent once made Jenna obsessed and intoxicated! If it was three years ago, how happy would it be for her, but now they were like strangers. Jenna woke up and realized that tears were flowing out from the corners of her eyes. She licked her red lips and felt bitterness at the tip of her tongue. Her nose also felt numb, and she lowered her head. Suddenly an image flashed through her eyes. It was him holding Aria and speaking softly. His soft words pierced Jenna's fragile heart. Hansen sat up on the opposite side of the sofa with an indescribable feeling rising in him She was crying! She must be feeling sad because of the contract she signed today. He sighed in his heart. Running a business was like strategizing during a war. How would he allow her to stay at the company if she was reluctant to sign the contract? Not to mention, she was going to be able to access confidential company information. This was not in line with his character. Since he had promised, he had to sign the contract. This was his principle. It was also the company's principles. "Don't worry, as long as you can complete the task and keep your promise, the reward Richards Group will give to you will not be worse than Whalen Group. Trust me." His eyes were burning, and his words were as resolute as iron. The bitterness in Jenna's heart snowballed. In his eyes, it was always about money and interests! There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth. She stood up and faced him coldly. Hansen raised his head slightly and looked at her from head to toe. There were circles of flames in her eyes, which seemed to set her dark and deep eyes on fire. He could see the anger building up within her, however, it gradually dissipated. He saw disappointment, despair and coldness in Jenna's eyes. This damned woman was always like this. He was talking to her in an agreeable manner just now, but she didn't appreciate it and was even so hostile to him. Hansen admitted that he had never forced a woman before, but now, his means might have been too overbearing. This was also the first time he used such a method to keep a woman by his side. He would not admit to it, however. He always thought that he was not wrong to behave that way! "From tomorrow onwards, your office will be on the eighty-eighth floor, right beside mine. The design department will be set up tomorrow. The next few days will be tiring, you have to get yourself ready, go to bed early." Hansen was not used to Jenna looking down at him, so he immediately stood up and ordered solemnly. "You will sleep in the bedroom next to mine. If you need anything, you can tell me at any time Hansen took the lead in walking into the bedroom. After a few steps, he threw over a gold card and said, "If you need anything, just get it for yourself He left, but his unique mint smell was still in the air. Soon, the lights in his bedroom went out. Jenna didn't take his card and went to sleep in her own bedroom! She didn't need anything as the house had all sorts of supplies. Hansen had prepared all the daily necessities for her, including her personal toiletries. All of them were of high quality Their work entered an intensely busy mode... In the next few days, Jenna and Hansen went to the company almost at the same time. They stayed with each other almost every day and began to prepare for the key project of the press conference which was the design of the car model. It was as if they were preparing for battle. Hansen was like a madman when he was working. He could stay in front of the computer all night and do everything on his own Jenna's design department moved next door to his office. He stayed in his office almost every day and supervised it personally, which made the staff of the design department complain. Which employee would be willing to have their boss standing next to them and stare at them all day? Under his supervision, all the staff of the design department had entered a state of extreme seriousness. Jenna also began to focus fully on her work For several days and nights in a row, Jenna, who should have been very tired, was in high spirits. There was no trace of exhaustion in her. "For you" Back at the apartment in the evening, Jenna was still racking her brain in front of the computer, but Hansen came in with a cheerful face and handed her a box "What's this? She lifted her head and her face was full of confusion. Hansen was behaving normally these days and did not harass her. It could be said that he was very gentlemanly and was modest and polite. Although he would occasionally argue with her about work matters, it was still acceptable to Jenna Jenna's demeanor was much better, she didn't treat him as coldly as she did at the beginning. "Have a look" Hansen had a sly smile on his face. Instinctively, she thought that it should be a gift. But why would Hansen give her a gift? Jenna felt it was a little unbelievable. She slowly opened it up. The living room dimly lit up with warm lights, and the setting was a little dreamy. The box was packaged exquisitely. At a glance, Jenna could tell that it was something expensive. A flash of gold emanated from her hands, shining brightly. It then flashed a dazzling white, stunning Jenna immensely It was the latest iPhone with gold inlaid with a row of diamonds. The phone was glittering brightly. At this time, the light in the room was not particularly dazzling, but the shiny diamonds glittered incessantly. It was exquisitely crafted, and each of the heavy diamonds was perfectly cut. If she guessed it right, it should be a custom made phone, something that could not be purchased on the market. The gift made her heart swell and she felt touched, but also a little sad. In her memory, this was the first time Hansen gave her a gift. They had known each other for such a long time, but this was the first time that he had taken the initiative to give her a gift. She blinked her eyes in disbelief, as she inhaled sharply. Her breathing was hoarse and every breath she took twisted her nerves. She pursed her red lips and her hands trembled slightly. Was this excitement? "It's Saturday today, Go to bed early, you don't have to work overtime. I'm going to bring your design department somewhere tomorrow for a field trip," he said calmly. There was nothing special on his face. He did not feel like it was inappropriate for him to give her a gift like that. On the contrary, he felt like it was normal. Jenna listened to his indifferent tone, and the enthusiasm that had just surged in her heart suddenly subsided. Yes, for someone as wealthy as Hansen, a gift like that diamond phone was very common. What's more, he must have given many gifts to other women already, so this gift was not a big deal at all. She took a deep breath. Fortunately, she managed to suppress her tears. Could she be a little more steadfast? How could she turn so emotional because of some little gift? Jenna felt uncomfortable in her heart. She felt a little annoyed by her embarrassment. She despised herself for how she felt! A melodious ringtone sounded. "Hansen, where are you? Hurry up. parents are waiting," Aria said anxiously on the other side of the phone. "Oh, okay. I'll be right there." Hansen answered the phone while lowering his head as he picked up the handbag on the sofa. He was ready to go out. Jenna only realized that he was going out that night. She looked at him carefully and found that he was wearing a neat and expensive custom-made suit on his slender body. This suit was ordered through a well-known brand from abroad. Every part of the suit was crafted exquisitely. There was nothing excessive on it, and it made his well-built body look good and his hair looked very neat For him to dress up like this, it was very likely that he was going to attend a formal occasion A sense of loss flashed through Jenna's heart for no reason In the past few days, they had been together every day and she had gotten used to it. When she saw him going out, she felt inexplicably sad. In order to not let him see through it, she lowered her head in a hurry. Carrying the bag, Hansen walked to the door. "Oh right, please pass me that folder' Hansen, had just walked turned his head and told Jenna politely. the door, Jenna endured the pain in her heart, raised her head, and looked around for the folder "It should be in the bedroom," Hansen told her after thinking for a while. He stood by the door and waited for her. The moment Jenna stood up, she felt that the whole place was empty. Hansen's bedroom was filled with luxury goods. There were not a lot of things but everything was in order A folder lay on the mahogany stand. The cover kind of documents were in it. It was heavy Jenna picked up the folder and walked out. was blank. She didn't know what "Aria, order the dishes first and take care of your parents. I'm still stuck in traffic, I'll be there soon." Hansen was talking on the phone as he faced towards the door, so he didn't notice Jenna approaching. Jenna stiffened. It turned out that he was going to meet Aria's parents. Jenna's heart instantly felt as if it had been pricked by needles. All this time they had been together, and she seemed to have gotten used to it. As he was leaving today, it felt as if she suddenly woke up from a dream. She couldn't get used to it for a moment. "Thank you," Hansen put away the phone and took the folder from Jenna. He turned around and was about to leave. The moment he left, he turned around and glanced at Jenna He asked in surprise, "Are you feeling unwell?" "No, no." Jenna was stunned and shook her head in a hurry. Then she raised her head and smiled. She stretched out her hand and waved, "Bye." Hansen's dark eyes looked deeply at her before he turned around and left.
Chapter 33 Jenna stood with her back against the door for a long time. She felt lost and her heart was in a mess. Aria's father was Mayor McAdams of A city, who had power and influence. The shrewd Marissa Sotomayor also took a fancy to her. On the other hand, what was her worth? Now she could only be considered an unfavored daughter of an eminent family. She suddenly recalled the loneliness in her mother's eyes, only then did she realize that she had not been home for a few days. It was time for her to visit home After Hansen left the big house became even emptier. It was extremely cold and quiet. Jenna was in a complicated state of mind and was not in the mood to work anymore. After packing up, she turned around and walked out. As the night wind blew against her, her mind became clearer, but a bleak smile appeared on her face When she returned to Dongshan Square, her mother had already fallen asleep. Jenna crept in, afraid of waking her mother up. "Jenna?" Her mother's voice could be heard clearly, coming from the bedroom. Jenna was surprised. It turned out that she had not fallen asleep yet. She had no choice but to reply as she walked in softly Sara Garver was lying in bed, wearing a coat. The light in the room was dim so that her face could not be seen clearly. However, the light in her eyes was much brighter when she saw Jenna. "Jenna, why did you come back so late? Where is Hansen?" Sara waved at Jenna, who was standing at the door. She looked behind her with anticipation in her eyes. Jenna knew what she was thinking, so she had to go over and forced a smile. "Mom, Hansen still has something to do at the company, I'm also very busy, I me here just to visit you. I'll be again tom orrow, I'm afraid I can't come to visit you for a few days." Sara's face was slightly pale, and her hair looked like it turned completely white overnight. She looked old. She was once very energetic, but her past self was nowhere in sight. Now that her whole legs had been amputated, so she had to be bedridden "Jenna, tell me, did something happen between you and Hansen?" Sara's lips trembled, and her heart was filled with great panic and uneasiness. She was not a fool. Since Sara gave her only daughter to the Richards family, Hansen had never visited her although the grandmother of the Richards family would gather both families to have dinner together every year. His excuse would be how busy he was with work, every time. Even when they sat down and had dinner together, she could tell that they were not close. But after all, Jenna was still staying in the Richards family. The Richards family hadn't mistreated her, so she felt that she shouldn't say anything! However, three years ago, after the Richards family's incident, her daughter told her that she was going to study in the United States. Although the elders of both families would still have dinner together, Marissa was very cold and indifferent towards her. Moreover, in the past three years, no one from the Richards family had ever come to visit her. She knew that something must be wrong. Every time she asked Jenna about it, she would be as calm as nothing's serious about it But she knew Jenna was hiding something. She did not dare to ask or mention it. She was her only daughter! Every time she thought of this, she would feel heartbroken. It didn't matter if something happened to her. When her husband got into trouble, she could bite the bullet and go through it, but she could not bear that her only daughter was not living a happy life. "Mom, don't think too much. Hansen is busy with the press conference, and I'm working with him every day Jenna answered in a hurry. Her mother could no longer endure any disasters. Although she never showed her pain in front of Jenna, they were still mother and daughter. She could also feel the pain and uneasiness in her heart. She must never let her mother know about the matter between her and Hansen. She had to keep this a secret. "Mom, look, this is the phone that Hansen gave me" Jenna bent over and put her arms around her mother's shoulders to show off deliberately. She couldn't help but feel a burst of pain in her heart. Sara looked at the phone in her daughter's hand and was a little doubtful. However, only her husband could give her such an expensive phone. "Mom, look, this is when I was working with Hansen. There's a lot of work in the company now, and Hansen is too busy. He will come to see you when he has time. I will be very busy during this period too." Jenna purposely took several videos of herself when she was working with Hansen to show it to Sara. In order not to cause suspicions, she insisted on going home every day except for the days when she just came back from the hospital. These days, she chose not to go home every day, just because she was worried that Sara would know about her divorce with Hansen and feel sad about it. As long as she could endure through this period of time, she would move to the United States with her mother. It would be better for her if she finds out about it later rather than sooner. The mother and daughter were chatting in the room, and time passed before they knew it. Her cell phone suddenly rang. She held the fruit in one hand and hurriedly picked it up with the other hand. "Hello" Jenna's mumbled, her mouth was still stuffed with grapes. "Where are you?" A low and magnetic voice sounded, and it carried with it a trace of anger, as if he was questioning her. Jenna panicked and threw the fruit in her hand on the bed. "Have you forgotten our agreement? Have you forgotten the contract? It's only been a few days and you can't stand it already?" Hansen taunted on the other side of the phone in a weird tone. Jenna was stunned, but she soon recalled the damned contract. But wasn't he with Aria's parents? Shouldn't he be staying with Aria to enjoy their night together? Even though it wasn't considered early, he wouldn't have already gone back to his apartment, would he? Jenna was surprised I called the house phone, but no one answered. Don't think you can do whatever you want behind my back," Hansen continued to scold on the phone. So that was how it was, and Jenna's face suddenly darkened. "Is that Hansen?" Sara's eyebrows stretched out the weight in her heart was suddenly lifted. Her eyes were shining, but the smile on her face came from the bottom of her heart. Seeing her mother's happy smile, how could Jenna disappoint her? She smiled at her mother and nodded. She felt bitter in her heart, but she stayed calm and said sweetly, "Hansen, I'll be back soon. You should wash up and sleep first." She hung up her phone and put her arms around Sara's neck. "Mom, you can rest assured now! Hansen is waiting for me. I have to go back first. You must stay happy, after I'm done with work, I will take you to the United States and get the prosthesis for you. By then, you will be able to stand up together. "Okay, okay." The haze on Sara's face faded and she smiled brightly, "Jenna, you're not young anymore. You should be gentle and considerate when you're with Hansen. Hansen is a famous public figure, he has a noble identity and is not like any ordinary man. It's the greatest achievement for a woman to grab a man's heart. No matter how capable a woman can be, she won't be happy without a man's love. As your mother, I hope you can be happy in this life, I'm still waiting to have a grandson." Jenna quietly turned her back to pack her things up. She was afraid that she would cry if she stayed any longer. She could not make her mother sad anymore. This was the only thing she could do right now. "Mom, I'm leaving. Hansen is waiting for me." She brushed her messy hair and turned off the lights in the room as she smiled and said softly. "Okay, go quickly, Sara said with a gratified smile and laid back down. Jenna left as quickly as she could Just as she walked out of the house, her tears fell like broken beads, and she almost got choked up She called for a taxi and rushed to Collier Manon "Jenna." Under the osmanthus tree at the gate of Collier Manor square, a tall figure was walking toward her. His footsteps were quick, "Jenna, you're really living with him? What is this all about? This is unfair to you!" The man's eyes were red, his voice was empty and he was a little hesitant when he spoke. Jenna was shocked. When she opened her eyes and saw that it was Norton, her face turned pale. She took a few steps back and looked at him coldly The smile on Norton's face froze. It was as if his heart was crushed by a car. She never cared about how he treated her and cared for her. No matter how much he wanted to treat her well, she was always wary and indifferent, as cold as ice. He took a step forward, and Jenna took a step back. When he stepped forward, she retreated again "Norton, what can I do for you at such a late hour?" She said in a cold voice. The smell of his custom made cologne charged into Jenna's nose. Jenna suddenly felt cold from the soles of her feet and her whole body began to tremble. It was this cologne again, the smell that once harassed her like a demon Now, whenever she smelt it, she would tremble all over Everything she had forced herself to ignore and forget was all brought back to her because of the smell of this cologne. It forced her to remember the events of that horrible night. In the second year, it was a summer night when the evening breeze blew gent and the willows swayed. On that night, she went to a classmates birthday party with Hannah Adames. However, when she stepped out of the door, she realized she forgot to bring her purse with her. She hurried back to the dormitory. When she passed through the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain, she was suddenly grasped by a pair of strong arms from behind her. Before she could scream, those hands covered her mouth The man picked her up and walked to a dark corner. Suddenly, he tore her clothes apart. She struggled to scream, but the man took out a handkerchief and stuffed it in her mouth Her world was instantly filled with darkness, fear, and despair. All kinds of emotions flooded into her mind. Her face was covered with tears as she thought that she would lose her chastity. The crisp sound of footsteps created a strong rhythm on the smooth and clean floor as it approached them. The man panicked; he hadn't even taken off his pants "Hm, humph." A heavy voice sounded, seemingly with a hint of anger. The man was extremely anxious and he stopped everything he was doing. Jenna felt relieved. Taking advantage of when the man was panicking, she pushed him away and ran away with her clothes in disarray. Until today, she still remembered the sound of the unknown man and that distinct cologne smell of the man who tried to molest her. She had never known who the footsteps belonged to. But it was like light shone in the dark, that's the hope for her back then. She was grateful. It was the man standing in the dark who saved her and kept her innocent, but she didn't know who he was. She didn't know who the molester was. She could only remember the smell of the cologne. In order to find out the smell, she had gone through countless perfume and cologne places in the country but she still couldn't find it. Later, she found out that it was from a cologne shop in the United States. Only then did she discover that it was a custom made cologne and not anyone could get it. Norton rushed over grabbed Jenna's weak hand and said "Jenna, don't be stubborn. Leave Hansen. It's not going to work out between you two. He is going to marry Aria soon. Both families met each other and they are discussing about the marriage now." Jenna's face suddenly became pale. Hansen really went to Aria's parents to discuss their marriage. She pursed her thin lips and had a smile in her eyes. She wanted to get rid of his hand, but his hand was so strong and he held her tightly. With a gentle pull, he wrapped her into his arms and almost took advantage of her. It was a horrible feeling. Jenna was in a panic. She struggled hard and asked in a trembling voice, "So it was you that year?' "What?" Norton's body shook, a sinister smile appeared on his face. His laughter was cold, and his breath was ragged. "Jenna, I miss you so much. Be good, listen to me." His breathing was fast, his hand quickly grabbed her chin, and his lips were about to stick onto hers. Jenna reached out her hand and threw it hard at him, but he held her hand firmly. She couldn't even move. His lips were about to approach hers again. It was like her dream was being replayed. There was a rhythmic and decisive sound of footsteps approaching them, but this time was different, her savor was not just standing in the dark "What are you doing?" A cold voice came from the man's mouth. A pair of powerful hands quickly pulled Norton away and threw him down to the ground. Norton was slammed to the ground with his head facing downwards, his vision blurred. "Hansen, you are going to marry Aria very soon why you care!" Norton got angry and stood up to shout at him. "Don't forget that you're going to marry Sabrina soon. Jenna is the designer hired by the Richards Group, you can't mess around with her, If you do it again, I will ask Grandma to punish you according to family rules, Hansen scolded harshly "Fine. Hansen, I'll remember this." Norton covered his face and ran away in disgrace.
Chapter 34 "You really are something. I've been out for only a few hours, and not only did you leave the house, you even hooked up with your first love." Hansen said coldly, "Let me tell you, Norton is an important figure in the officialdom of the Richards family. His future is promising. A woman like you better not get close to him anymore, otherwise, his future will be ruined." Hansen's voice was not only viciously cold. Jenna hadn't even recovered from the shock, but the only things she heard were the words he spat out from his thin lips. It hurt her so much that her heart was about to cramp up. The shop below the apartment was playing mournful songs. Jenna's eyes were full of tears as she silently walked upstairs. Hansen's powerful footsteps followed closely behind. Jenna's expression changed. Could it be that the man standing in the darkness that night was him? Was he the one who saved her? No, it was impossible! Every time she saw him on campus, he would always keep a straight and a cold face. Why would he even save her? It was already late at night. Jenna looked dull and depressed, sitting on the sofa in a daze. After taking a shower, Hansen saw her sitting on the sofa looking sad. He felt unhappy in his heart. This d*mned woman either has her soul out of her body or her mind out of her head. I don't know what she's thinking every day. I'm pretty sure she's still thinking about her first love, Norton, that poser!" he thought. Thinking of Norton, Hansen became even more angry. Norton was a complicated man, his means could be despicable. Maybe Jenna couldn't see through him, but Hansen could. The reason why he stopped him from approaching her was actually to protect her, but she didn't appreciate it! His eyes were unfathomable and the corners of his mouth curved into cold smile. He walked over to her and sat down. He asked coldly, "What are you thinking about? Are you still thinking about your first love? Where did you go just now?" Jenna's face was forced to look into his deep eyes. Her heart ached, and she blurted out, "I didn't." Her eyes were bright and clear. Hansen's thoughts shifted slightly. He was not being too much to say that Norton was her first love! When they were in university, he was like a fly circling Jenna, but this woman seemed to be pleased with it. If he hadn't seen it more than once, he would not have been able to see her true face so quickly! He could see that the hint of softness in Norton's cunning eyes was only for Jenna. Her chastity must have been given to him! Every time Hansen thought of this, the anger in his heart would burst out, even his heart would feel pain. "Shameless couple, he cursed in his heart. He was so angry that he turned around and took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator. He opened it and downed it at once. The woman who married him gave the best of her to another man, and it was right in front of him. He was resentful. But his mind was clear now. After all, they were divorced, there was no longer any relationship between them. There was really no need to argue about these things in the past. It was really unnecessary to destroy the peace that he had spent so much effort to build in the past few days. Thinking of this, he took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator and handed it to Jenna. "You must be thirsty!" Jenna was caught up in her thoughts. She sat still, turned her face coldly, and did not speak or took it. "Stubborn? Your lips are clearly dry!" Hansen's anger, which had been suppressed by the cold drink, had piqued again. His face was upset and his outstretched and was hanging in the air. He retracted his hand angrily drank from the bottle. When he was with her, it seemed that there would always be endless anger that couldn't be controlled. "Go to bed early. We have to go out early tomorrow." After saying this coldly, he rushed into the bedroom and slammed the door. The lights in the bedroom went out soon. Jenna also stood up and went back to her bedroom to rest. Green Mountain Town, a town nearest to A city, was famous for the green mountains and the Green Mountain Lake. Green Mountain was known as the green lung of A city. The air was fresh, the environment was beautiful, and it Green Mountain Town was also the largest car manufacturing site under the control of Richards Group. There were many factories in the suburbs of the was suitable for people to live in. Green Mountain Town, and Richards Group's car manufacturing factories were everywhere. It was a very large scale project. The surroundings of Green Mountain Lake had already turned into a group of villas that the Richards family was about to develop, and its factory had also dominated the remote suburbs of Green Mountain. As a result, Hansen was very famous in Green Mountain Town. Most of the residents of Green Mountain Town worked in Hansen's car company. The car model Jenna designed was sent here overnight for them to work on in overtime. In order to avoid any mistakes and prevent unnecessary losses, Tobey Richards, the manager of Green Mountain Mobile Company, gave the report to Hansen yesterday. Then, Hansen brought the staff of the design department and a group of trusted people to visit the company. At the headquarters of the Green Mountain Mobile Company, Tobey was standing at the door with his staff to welcome the arrival of Hansen and the others. Tobey was a distant relative of Marissa's. He was smart and capable. Marissa trusted him, and he was also an outstanding person from the Richards family. He had been working for Marissa and Trevor all this while. He was considered a senior of the company. When the company was handed over to Hansen, he didn't take credit for himself. He would always talk politely in front of Hansen and was ready to serve. Hansen had never thought of replacing him. A group of people surrounded Hansen and walked toward the office of the company. Some news media heard that Hansen was coming for an in-person inspection, so they also followed along. Some local residents and staff were excited about Hansen's arrival, and they all wanted to come over to see Hansen's handsome face. After all, Hansen would only appear on TV and news all year round, it was rare for him to come to the factory for an inspection. Besides, his mysterious private life would often appear on the headline of entertainment news, which brought them some excitement. Hansen was in high spirits as he appeared in front of everyone with an extraordinary aura. Seriousness was showing on his delicate face, looking dignified and noble. In an instant, spotlights flashed and the crowd was in a commotion. Since he was used to it, he was calm and composed. Although he was upset with the press for creating a big deal out of nothing. he had something important to deal with first. He glanced at the crowd and strode into the room. Jenna walked behind Hansen and her heart was beating wildly. For some reason, she felt a strong sense of uneasiness. Suddenly, there was an unusual commotion in the crowd, and a sense of danger came to her. She could not help but be shocked, and a sense of foreboding rose quickly. "Hansen, go to hell." A loud shout came from the crowd close to them. Jenna looked up and saw a man in his thirties, his eyes were red and he looked like he came for blood. His face was wildly distorted and he held a sharp dagger in his hand and rushed towards Hansen fiercely. "Hansen, careful, Jenna screamed in an instant, horror flooded her from head to toe. Seeing the sharp knife aiming at Hansen's neck, she felt nervous and screamed. She rushed over and tried her best to push Hansen away. Hansen was pushed a few steps forward by her and he avoided the sharp knife, but Jenna couldn't dodge it. The knife in the man's hand fell from above and it pierced directly into Jenna's back. Jenna screamed, and a great pain emanated from her back. She was in so much pain that her body curled into a ball as she fell softly to the ground. She cried, and her red lips gradually turned pale. In a second, she lost the strength to cry.. Hansen wanted to rush forward with all his heart. He didn't expect to be attacked by someone. Suddenly, he was shoved forward by a force. He stumbled a few steps forward, and he heard Jenna's miserable cry. He reacted quickly and realized something had happened. He turned around in an instant, and his eyes lit up. Then he kicked the man who was holding the knife. The knife fell and the man screamed. He was kicked far away and he stumbled to the ground. All of a sudden, the crowd was in chaos, screams coming from every direction. "Quick, catch him, Hansen shouted at the security guards who were rushing over. Several strong security guards immediately rushed over and subdued the attacker who was lying on the ground. Some of them called the police, and soon police cars arrived. Hansen's heart was beating fast and he exhaled. He looked down and saw Jenna lying on the ground. He was dumbfounded. He quickly squatted down, picked her up, and shouted in a trembling voice, *Jenna, what's wrong?" Warm liquid flowed ough his palm. He stretched out his palm and saw that it was covered with blood. The red almost burnt his eyes out! Her face was as pale as a piece of paper, she almost lost her consciousness. "Jenna!" He screamed and felt great pain all over his body. There was only darkness in front of him. Jenna heard Hansen's cry from a distant dream and opened her eyes. She saw that Hansen's face was very close to hers, and his face looked like it was full of pain. She asked weakly, "Hansen, are you okay?" After asking this question, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength. Her eyes gradually dimmed and she fainted. "Jenna!" Hansen was going mad as he shouted. He picked her up and ran outside, "Quick, go to the hospital." He roared in a frantic manner. The car started quickly and rushed toward one of best hospitals in A city. Hansen held the weak woman tightly in his arms. She was too thin. Her body was so light like a cloud drifting in the sky, as if she would leave him at any time. Her hands were full of the blood flowing out of her body; it was warm and sticky. He felt as if her bloodstains were poison-like vines wrapping around his hands and they were slowly tunneling into his organs. They wrapped around him and he felt a throbbing pain throughout his body. He pressed down on the blood vessels closest to her heart and kept calling her name. At this moment, he saw the verge of life and death. He could feel the panic and reluctance in his heart, the eternal pain, gnawing at his heart like a giant tooth. That kind of pain really made him go crazy for a moment. Jenna felt a chill all over her body. She was in a daze, but she didn't feel any pain. The only thing she could feel was coldness. The bone-chilling coldness, as if she was pierced by an ice furnace. It was so cold that she trembled all over. In her mind, her father smiled at her lovingly, her mother's sad face kept flashing, and a vague handsome face appeared, but she could not see his eyes clearly. Who was he? She looked at him with a smile. His bright eyes were breathtaking. Gradually, those bright eyes changed. It looked cold, sarcastic, full of contempt and disgust. Her whole body was trembling, and she felt colder and colder. It seemed that something warm and familiar was trying to warm her up, but it was useless. It was freezing. She thought that she was going to die! Those evil and cold eyes were getting closer and closer as she lost her consciousness.
Chapter 35 An emergency operation was ongoing. Hansen sat on the bench outside the operating room like an ice sculpture. The scene of Jenna pouncing on him, pushing him away, and defending him from the knife attack flashed in his mind. His expression was dull and his heart was in a mess. Why did she block the knife for him? At such a dangerous moment, she rushed over regardless of her own safety and blocked the knife for him. Didn't she know that it was dangerous? Was he worth it? The door of the operating room opened, and Hansen stood up in a hurry. "How was it, Director Brooks?" he asked eagerly. Director Brooks took off his mask, the crow's feet at the corner of his eyes wrinkled together, and then they stretched out again. His tone was as relaxed as he could possibly be, and there was a smile in his tone, "Mr. Richards, don't worry. The patient is not in danger anymore. Fortunately, the wound is not too deep, her organs were not hurt. She will be fine after some rest for a period of time. "Okay Hansen breathed a sigh of relief, his tight face softened, "Director Brooks, you have to cure all her wounds at all costs. She got injured for me, have to take the responsibility. Use the best medicine you can." "Don't worry, Mr. Richards, Director Brooks responded as he nodded politely. After a while, the nurse wheeled Jenna out of the operating room. The woman lying on the bed had no trace of blood on her delicate face, her lips were pale. She seemed as weak as a kitten as she laid quietly, which made people want to look after her. All the coldness and hostility disappeared, a great pain then swept through Hansen's heart. He suddenly felt that this lifeless woman was very unlikeable, he would rather have the fierce woman stand in front of him, looking at him coldly and arguing with him. All the hatred and dislike for her faded away in his heart. He thought, when she woke up, no matter what she had done, he would not hate her or be disgusted with her anymore. He wanted to get along with her. Even if they could not be husband and wife, there was no need to be enemies. Jenna felt like she had slept for a thousand years. It felt as if she had fallen into the bottom of the cliff and was smashed to pieces. She felt like she had gone through a fight with death, and she struggled to open her eyes. White, pure white. The white curtain, the white sheets, and the smell of medicine filled her nose. Ever since she was a child, she had been afraid of the smell of medicine, she despised it! In the empty room, it was silent. When she opened her eyes, she saw the oxygen cylinder on the bedside table and the white bottles hanging on the bedside table. The pure white bottles were dripping down, looking like her mother's tears. She struggled to get up, but the pain on her back made her exclaim. Her lips were dry and cracked, her whole body was in pain. There was no one in the huge room. Where was she? Her memory slowly came back, and she remembered that she was injured. In order to save Hansen, she stepped forward to protect him, and the knife stabbed her instead. Why? Why did she save him? At that dangerous moment, she seemed to have rushed over without thinking. When she saw the bright knife aiming at his neck, she instinctively rushed up to him without hesitation. What kind of force prompted her to proceed with no regard for her life? Maybe, she must be reluctant to watch him die. She wanted to repay the debts she owed him, and she wanted to find out the truth about her father's death. No, that didn't seem to be the case. She didn't want to lose him. She just wanted him to be fine, and she would endure it even if he would only be mad at her. After getting along with him these few days, she realized that she was more and more unwilling to leave him. She did not want to lose him and she feared this feeling. No, she shouldn't feel like that. There was no relationship between them anymore! He was about to marry Aria. That was who he loved! He had nothing to do with her! She took a knife and was injured for him, but he didn't even come and see her. She laid alone on the bed. When she opened her eyes, she could only see the white room and felt the terrible silence in the room. She didn't want to feel this way. She was so scared. Her back was in pain as if it were on fire. She bit her lips and tears flowed out silently. No one came to see her, no one sympathized with her. They must be laughing at her for overreacting and saving a man who didn't love her. Did she really think she could get even an iota of love from him if she saved him? How could this be possible? Aria's cold and mocking face flashed in front of her eyes. Hansen was holding her hand intimately, and his handsome face was looking exuberant When did he ever look like that when he was with her? Why was she so stupid? A mixture of emotions all surged up, some she had felt before and others she had never experienced. It was getting darker and darker outside the window. She turned her face to the side and sobbed in a low voice. She would rather die like this, than to be lonely and sad in the future. The door opened silently. Hansen came in with a lunch box.. As soon as he walked in, he heard her low and suppressed crying sound, and his heart tightened. She was awake! He had never heard Jenna cry so sadly. Her cry was suppressed, her sadness came from the bottom of her heart. The cry sounded so sad and lonely. His heart also trembled, a different sense of loneliness and sorrow welled up in his heart. He walked over slowly and gently put the lunch box on the bedside. He bent down to look at her. Her eyes were closed tightly, her tears kept pouring out like a flood, and her nostrils were flaring and constricting as she breathed gently. She looked like an aggrieved wife. "Does it still hurt?" He gently stroked the tears on her face and asked softly. The crying Jenna felt a soft hand touching her face and heard an unbelievably gentle voice asking her a question. It was his pleasant voice with deep magnetism, and paired up with the unique mint smell on his body, they entered her heart. Just like a hot spring flowing through her dry heart, and her heart was inexplicably filled with joy and warmth. She opened her eyes, her big eyes full of confusion and disbelief. Hansen was staring at her bright eyes. The light in his eyes was gentle and deep, the previous hostility and disgust had disappeared. His eyes were full of gentleness and it even had some emotions that she could not understand clearly They looked at each other. At that moment, Jenna really felt as if she had seen this a long time ago and was familiar with this look. She felt like everything was connected. At least at this moment, she did not regret saving him. "Does it still hurt?" He asked softly again and adjusted her quilt with his hand. The temperature in the room was not too low. He was afraid that the air conditioner would exacerbate her dehydration since she lost too much blood, so he deliberately raised the temperature. Jenna bit her lip and shook her head. "It must still hurt. You're crying out of pain, I'm going to call the doctor, he sighed softly and was about to walk outside. "It doesn't hurt," she answered softly, "No need." Hansen stopped walking and thought for a moment, "Yes, too much anesthesia is not good for your health, especially for women. Just endure it. The doctor said that you've lost too much blood and you need to gain more. Besides, you're too weak. I've asked the kitchen staff to brew some chicken soup for you. You can't eat anything solid for now. Just endure it, you can eat some tomorrow." While speaking, Hansen took out the chicken soup from the thermos cup and put it on the table at the bedside. "You're too weak. I've already asked a doctor to prescribe you a series of tonics. You should improve your health when you get out of the hospital," Hansen said in a low voice. Jenna stared at him blankly. Hansen, who had never taken care of others, looked a little clumsy when he was doing these things, but in Jenna's opinion, all this was a lovely scene to behold. As the effect of the anesthesia gradually subsided, Jenna's back was swollen and hot, and it was excruciatingly painful. Even when Hansen held her up gently, Jenna still felt so much pain that she inhaled deeper and cried out. Hansen held her in his arms and supported her with one hand on her back, avoiding the wound. He picked up the spoon with the other hand and slowly fed the soup into Jenna's mouth. After drinking some hot soup, she finally felt a little better, and her complexion looked healthier. Hansen gently put her down and let her lay on her side. He lifted her clothes with his hand and checked her wound. Then he called Director Brooks to ask him some questions. After making sure that everything was alright, he let Director Brooks go. Jenna felt dizzy. She had lost too much blood and felt her strength drained, so she fell asleep again. At night, the cool autumn wind arrived. Hansen went into the bathroom and took off his suit. Under the bright light, he realized that his black suit was covered with bloodstains. It was her blood, and the metallic smell of blood filled the bathroom. His hands were shaking! He went out and made a phone call. After a while, his assistant, Frank Lee sent him a well-made suit. He went into the bathroom and took off all his clothes and threw them into the garbage bag. He turned on the shower head and stepped into the shower. His mind was filled with what had happened today. He could not forget it and his mind was in a mess. After taking a shower, he sat in front of the bed and looked at Jenna absent mindedly. Until it got very late, and he fell asleep in front of the bed. When Jenna woke up in the middle of the night, she realized that she was sleeping in a warm embrace. He was hugging her with his strong arms. He may be afraid that she would turn over and affect the wound so he held her to maintain her position. His heartbeat was steady and strong, the familiar smell of his body hastened into her nostrils. His aura gathered together and condensed into a stream and dashed straight into her heart. It got her addicted like a poppy flower. She thought that she was irredeemable. When everything ended in peace and all the mysteries were unraveled, would she be happy again? Tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably. She knew that she was too weak, she just wanted to cry. "Does it hurt?" Hansen, who was sleeping vigilantly, was awakened by the sound of her sniffing. Hearing her crying softly, he hurriedly asked, while his big hand gently stroked her back. Jenna's heart trembled. She buried her head in his broad chest, her shoulders couldn't help trembling. She thought they might go their own ways in the future, that they would never see each other again in this life, so she wanted to stay longer in this moment. Hansen felt her back burning. He frowned, and the cries of the woman in his arms made him even more confused. He gently lifted her head out of his arms, held her chin, and looked straight at her with a complicated and deep look in his eyes, "Tell me, why did you save me?" His words were like a hammer beating at her heart. Why did she save him? Would he understand? Would he know? The person he loved was not her. Of course he would not understand why someone would do something for the person they love. What was the point of saying it? She did not need any sympathy. Hansen inhaled deeply and looked at her. This woman, who had just burst into tears, gradually cast a shadow in her eyes after hearing his question. She looked so disappointed, lonely, and aggrieved. He could not help but lower his head and gently kissed her on the lips. He just wanted to give her a kiss, no more. He kissed the tears away and sealed her lips with love, adore, and tenderness. This was the first time that Hansen took the initiative to kiss her. It was totally different from before, his kiss was so gentle, it was from the bottom of his heart. She was intoxicated. The air in the room stopped flowing, what could be vaguely heard was their breathing. His was harsh and heavy, while hers was soft and smooth, but they were simultaneously gasping. She did not resist, and then slowly responded to him. His hand was holding tightly and strongly on her back. With her reaction as consent, he kissed deeper, and soon, they were entangled with each other on the bed. B It was not until a long time later that he let her go.
Chapter 36 Jenna was exhausted and sweating all over. Her cheeks were flushed from excitement. Hansen's hand touched the sweat all over her body. He said in a low and angry voice, "Why did you save me? I am a man, I don't need a woman to protect me. His words were full of anger, and he was feeling upset. Jenna's fantasy about him was instantly shattered by his words. She thought he was so anxious because he was afraid that after she had saved him, it would become a burden on his back. He was afraid that she would latch shamelessly on him from now on. After all, the person he loved was Aria. They were getting married soon. "I didn't save you on purpose. I was afraid that after you got hurt, I wouldn't be able to complete designing the car, then couldn't leave Richards Group. I was even more afraid that I couldn't find the two cars. Jenna felt bitter in her heart. She gritted her teeth and finished her words in one breath. Then, as if she had used up all her strength, she collapsed in Hansen's arms. Hansen trembled and lifted her chin. Her face was as pale as a piece of paper. "Tell me, what do you want those two cars for?" His eyes were gloomy, and his tone suddenly cooled down. He looked at her directly. Jenna opened her eyes and quietly looked at the dark aura around Hansen's body. She was silent, but her heart felt like it was being slashed by a knife. Hansen looked at Jenna who was silent. She lay weakly in his arms, her face was as gray as ashes. However, her eyes were showing courage and determination. He was startled by her serious look, and even more by her unreadable thoughts! It was obvious that she was weak, but the light in her eyes was so stubborn. He had the desire to grab a piece of sanding paper and grind away the stubbornness in her eyes. Perhaps she was only like this when she was with him. Whenever she was with another man, she would be gentle like a pet. She knew how to be gentle, but not toward him. A faint anger rushed up from the bottom of his heart. However, when his palm touched her hot back and her painful breath, they reminded him of the decision he made in his heart during the day. Even if they weren't meant to be husband and wife, they shouldn't be like enemies. He suppressed his anger and hugged her tightly. He felt that the woman in his arms was drenched in cold sweat. Even her hospital gown was soaked! He sighed, put her down, and brought over a basin of hot water. Jenna laid softly on the bed. Hansen wrung the towel and wiped off her sweat. Finally, he took out a set of clean clothes to help her change. Jenna refused to let him help her change. However, Hansen smiled and joked, " What are you pretending for? I have seen every inch of you. won't eat you, I'm just helping you to change. You're in such a state, what else can I do? Besides, you're so irritating that it's off-putting!" Jenna became even angrier when she heard that. She turned her head and ignored him, but she was not as strong as him. She had no choice but to let him help change her clothes. Later, Hansen hugged her and she fell asleep. When Jenna opened her eyes again, it was already dawn. A ray of sunshine came in from outside the window. It was warm, and it painted the white color of the ward with a layer of golden light. Although the ward was no longer so cold, Jenna felt the pain on her back getting worse. Every time she moved, she gasped at the stab of pain. Hansen was standing on the balcony and making a phone call. His slender back was like a pine tree, straight and verdant. He slightly raised his head, and his neatly-tailored suit made him look majestic. After a while, there was a knock on the door. Jose Trenton walked in, looking a little anxious. "Tell me, Hansen came in and ordered coldly in an iron-like voice. Jose looked at Jenna lying on the bed and reported in a low voice, "The man is a local resident of Green Mountain Town. The original garbage incinerator was built next to his house. A few of his family members died one after another due to cancer. Some experts said that the deaths were related to the incinerator. Recently, the local residents heard that it won't be relocated because of Camphor Tree Villa. In the end, he blamed everything on Richards Group. He was furious and decided to vent everything on you. From what he said, he wanted to take you down so that the government would notice this issue. Hansen was silent and his face was a little gloomy. He waved his hand, and Jose left. He lit a cigar and walked to the balcony. Jenna looked at his back. The sun shone on his body and made him seem lonely. After he finished the cigar, he came in. "Are you hungry? I'll bring you something to eat. Have a good rest in the next few days, and don't go to work," he talked softly with a smile on his face. The evil look he had just now was nowhere to be seen. Jenna was in a dilemma, but she couldn't say a word. "Thank you." After a long time, she looked down, slightly raised her head, smiled, and said softly. Hansen was stunned. It seemed that it was the first time that he had seen her smile in a long time. Unlike the forced, faked smile in the past, her expression was natural and real. Her smile was faint and her dimples were showing. It was charming. The corners of his lips instantly curled up. This woman finally thanked him, although she didn't look very willing. It turned out that she knew how to smile after all. "You were injured because of me, it's my duty to take care of you." Hansen. smiled slightly, but his tone was calm. As he looked at the wound on Jenna's back, his eyebrows slightly frowned. He stood in front of her and then sat down at the foot of her bed. Looking at her bright eyes, he was a little moved. Although she was injured and was crying in his arms in the middle of the night, her eyes were still as clear and bright as before. For so many years, he had watched her being ignored by his mother in the Richards Mansion. Even the workers did not take her seriously. He had deliberately neglected her and would not stand up for her. Because of his hatred for her, he had adopted a completely indifferent attitude. He had not even given her a penny. In the end, she still managed to get through it and even succeeded. Her eyes were still clear, which gratified him the most. "Take good care of yourself. Grandma's birthday is coming up. I hope you can attend her birthday banquet. Grandma has always been nice to you, Hansen thought for a while and said sincerely. Jenna's heart was instantly replaced by a burst of sourness. She looked down and thought for a moment, then asked faintly, "How is Grandma?" "She's fine," Hansen's inky eyes shone with a hint of unclear emotion as he replied seriously. Jenna lowered her eyes. After a while, she said softly, "Okay, I promise you." The corners of Hansen's mouth were slightly quirked up. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time in all these years that they had such a peaceful conversation. "I'm going to work now. I'll come to see you whenever I have time." Hansen looked at his cell phone, stood up, and smiled at her. He then walked outside. Hansen left in a hurry. Jenna stared after him until his slender figure could no longer be seen. In the morning, Hansen would ask peo send her all kinds of food and fruits. Jenna's wound was still hurting and she had no appetite. She just slept. When she woke up again, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. She was lying lazily on the bed while watching TV. The news was broadcasting what had happened yesterday at Green Mountain Town. Jenna suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She remembered something and called home. If her mother saw this news, how sad would she be? What if she became anxious? She made the phone call in fear. Fortunately, Aunt Lee brought her mother out that day to exercise, so she didn't know the news. Jenna quickly told Aunt Lee what had happened and told her to keep it a secret from her mother. Aunt Lee was very worried. She talked to Jenna while she wiped away her tears. Only after Jenna had sworn that she's doing fine now that Aunt Lee was relieved. After a long time, she said happily, "Miss, your mother is happy today. A handsome man told her that he is your friend from the United States. He has been chatting with your mother. It's the first time that I saw her smiling so brightly." Aunt Lee was talking on the phone with great interest, but Jenna was shocked. "A friend from the United States? Who's that?" Rayan's tall figure flashed before her eyes. "Could it be him?" she thought. The door of her ward was opened and a slender man came in with a large bouquet of white lilies in his hand. The flowers were delicate and fragrant. As soon as the man walked in, she could smell the flowers instantly. Jenna instantly felt refreshed. They were her favorite white lilies. The petals were crystal clear and were so white that they were spotless. However, they were still dripping with dew, giving off bursts of fragrance. "Jen." Rayan, who was gentle and masculine, walked in quickly. He looked at her deeply, his face full of worry and his heart was aching. "What happened? How could such a thing happen? I was shocked by the news this morning" He talked as he put the flowers on her bedside table. Jenna looked up and saw that his eyes were full of worry, warmth, and concern. A warm current flowed through her heart. He knew something had happened to her, but he had accompanied her mother all morning. Did he do it on purpose in order to keep her mother from knowing that she was injured? Indeed, such a thoughtful person like him would like to do such a thing, but how did he know where she lived? As if he had seen through her mind, Rayan smiled. He looked at her with his bright eyes and blinked, "I guess you know. I'm the one who accompanied Auntie this morning. Don't worry, I didn't want her to worry about you." He said it lightly and naturally, without any embarrassment. On the contrary, Jenna was the one who was embarrassed to ask how he knew about her family's address. *The news of the President of Richards Group, Hansen Richards, who was being attacked yesterday had caused the share price of Richards Group to drop drastically. The market is experiencing a panic sell," the broadcaster was reporting on the financial channel on TV.
Chapter 37 Jenna's face changed when she heard that, and she looked straight at the TV screen. Rayan raised his handsome eyebrows, looked at the TV, and then back to stare at Jenna's stiff expression. His eyes were obviously filled with worry, and a trace of gloom flashed through his pupils, Sighing lightly, he smiled faintly and said, "Jen, don't worry. Hansen will settle this matter. He's the president of the Richards group, we should trust him." How would Hansen settle this? It was a test of his wisdom and sincerity. Rayan's eyes were bright like a spark. Perhaps after this, he would get the answer he wanted, and Jenna could see her future path clearly. She would know whether what she had done was worth it or not, and she should know how to carefully choose her future. Rayan was waiting for such an opportunity so that everyone could see the truth and their hearts clearly, including himself. "Jenna, promise me," Rayan sat down on the edge of the bed and said seriously, "If you can't get the answer you want after this, please choose your future path carefully. You need to be responsible for yourself. Do you think you can deceive your mother for the rest of your life? Remember, no matter what you need or what kind of life you want, as long as you come to me, I will provide everything for you. I am a man and I will never break my promise. I am so lucky to meet you in this life. I will treasure you and do anything for you, including marrying you." Rayan's words were sincere. Jenna believed that he was speaking from the bottom of his heart. She smiled bitterly in her heart. She also wanted to end everything as soon as possible. She wanted to run away and never return to this place where she had suffered so cruelly. She was afraid that the longer she stayed here, the more unwilling she was to leave him. That would be endless torture for her. Perhaps, after this matter, Hansen would marry Aria immediately, and she would find her life partner somewhere else. Or perhaps, everything would be like as she expected. Then, she would punish the murderer without mercy, and no one would be able to bear the consequences. Could it be that Rayan had already foreseen the outcome, so that was why he said such words? Jenna's eyes were full of confusion, like a panicked and lonely rabbit who lost its way in the fog. What did he mean by saying this? Was the ending that obvious? Anyway, she had to thank him. He spoke the truth in his heart and helped her when she was in a hole. He was not the only one who was lucky to know her she felt that she was extremely lucky to have met him too. Rayan was smart, elegant, and well-mannered. He never gave empty promises, For him, actions spoke louder than words. He was good-hearted and rarely showed off on purpose. However, once he said something or started something, he would see it through the end. He had never gone back on his words. She was well aware of that. She was lying on the bed, but the light in her eyes was clear. She looked at him with a smile and thanked him for his honesty. Rayan understood the look in her eyes. The smile struck deep into his heart. He bent down and pulled out a puff of cotton candy from behind his back. He smiled gently and said, "Silly girl, I can't believe there are still such silly people in this world. Here, have this." Cotton candy? Jenna's eye glowed. Although she was an adult, she adored cotton candy, but it was not because of how delicious it tasted. When she was young, whenever she went out with her father, she would always ask him to buy it for her. The cotton candy spun around at the center, as white and clean as the clouds in the sky. When she put it into her mouth, the sweetness was tasty and refreshing. The memories of being held by her father while eating cotton candy would remain in her heart forever. Whenever she saw cotton candy, she knew that she missed the sweet taste of the cotton candy and the feeling of being doted on. It would also remind her of her father. "Lie down. I'll feed it to you. You just have to bite." Rayan carefully took the cotton candy and handed it to Jenna's mouth. He was extremely careful. The cotton candy was in front of her. She opened her mouth and took a bite. It melted in her mouth and tasted sweet, just like before. "Look, it's on your lips," Rayan smiled dotingly. He took the paper towel from the bedside and gently wipe it off for her. He was extremely warm and gentle. Jenna smiled and took another bite. Rayan saw that although her face was pale, her lips were still red and her teeth were white when she smiled. She was as beautiful as a doll. He was in a daze and was distracted from what he was doing. He kept wiping her lips with the paper towel and forgot to let her have another bite. Jenna burst into laughter. When Rayan realized, he felt embarrassed and smiled awkwardly. The atmosphere in the ward was harmonious and happy. It was not until a heavy knock on the glass door of the ward was heard that they came to their senses. They looked at the door at the same time. Hansen was standing by the glass door with a lunch box in his hand and his face was dark. Jenna's face turned pale, and she suddenly felt like a storm was about to break out. Rayan stood up calmly. After the previous encounter at the restaurant, he gained a better experience. This time, he just glanced at Hansen, who was standing at the door with an ugly face. He pulled his wrinkled suit and whispered to Jenna, "Jen, take good care of yourself. I'll leave first. I'll come back to see you when I'm free. Please call me if you ever need anything." Jenna could feel the tension in the air. She was afraid that something would happen between them. After all, she couldn't stand up, so she nodded gently. Rayan smiled at her gently and calmly walked past Hansen. When passing by him, he politely nodded to him. "Hansen, you're here." Jenna looked at him. In the morning, they still spoke calmly, so she took the initiative to speak. "Bang!" With a cracking sound, Hansen threw the delicate lunch box onto the ground. His handsome face was stiff, and his tone was cold and evil, "Very good. It turns out that you have already eaten. I suppose you don't need these anymore." The lunch box was thrown onto the ground and the meals spilled all over the floor. She could smell the delicious food. She looked and the ground and saw her favorite food, chicken wings, and squab. She couldn't help but be surprised. How could he know that she liked these dishes? Perhaps had bought them coincidentally? "Hansen, Brother Rayan was only there to see me. I was injured... Jenna's lips trembled as she tried to explain. "Enough" Hansen came closer and his face was as cold as frost, "I know clearly what a flirtatious woman you are. There's no need to explain anything." Jenna's face instantly turned pale, her lips trembled along with her body.
Chapter 38 "I never expect you to behave yourself, but now that you're my employee, you're still getting close with my biggest competitor. You don't care about your reputation at all. Do you think it's good if rumors arise? Fine. Don't think I'll be grateful to you just because you saved me. Let me tell you, I don't need a b*tch like you to save me," Hansen gnashed his teeth. His words were cold as ice. Jenna felt a chill down her spine and even her wounds felt like they were frozen. "You b*stard, she clenched her teeth and said with hatred, "Hansen, I didn't expect you to be such a superficial and vulgar man." What did she do wrong? Rayan was someone who helped her when she was in trouble. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been able to achieve today's success. Could she be the world's top designer? She was sad, disappointed, and penniless when she was in the United States. Where was Hansen at that time? Didn't he forsake her while he was embracing another beauty? Today, she was injured. It was natural for him to come to see her. What did she do wrong? She had not violated the rules of the Richards Group, nor had she revealed any of their secrets to Rayan. As the designer of Richards Group, she had tried her best! How could he insult and slander her like this? Tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't make a sound. There was not only sadness but also coldness in her heart. At such a dangerous moment, she rushed forward to protect him without thinking. In the end, not only did he say such vicious words, but he even disdained her. Her heart was aching. "I'm superficial and vulgar?" Hansen sneered, "Does it make your Brother Rayan noble and elegant? And is your first love fair and honest?" When he thought of Norton and Rayan, he was furious. One night when he was in university, he stood behind her and saw Norton holding her intimately. The two of them hugged each other in the dark, and he saw everything that they did. Later, to his surprise, she became his wife, but she had already lost her chastity to that d*mned Norton. His status as her husband did not mean a thing at all! This dirty, filthy woman. He didn't want to take pity on such a woman. Even if she was injured for saving him, he still would not do so. He slammed the door and left. On the 88th floor of the International Kinsey Center, the atmosphere in the spacious and luxurious office was dull and silent. Hansen frowned while holding a report in his hand and read it meticulously. Alvin Robertson stood respectfully beside him. It took a long time for Hansen to finish reading the report. It was a report about Jenna's life abroad. The report was detailed, but there was nothing special about it. On the report, it said that Jenna studied car designing alone. She had only started working in Whalen Group six months ago and had been spending all her time studying before that. She worked hard and studied hard. There were no other scandals of hers. Only then did he remember that he had never given Jenna a single penny when she was staying in the Richards' Mansion. At that time, he hated and disliked her, and never thought of giving her any money. Then how did she spend the past few years back then? He flipped through the pages with his slender fingers and finally found it. Jenna had been looking for a job everywhere, and at her lowest point when she was penniless, she met Rayan by chance. His fingers were shaking. When she was in such a difficult situation, Rayan appeared beside her. If she had fallen in love and relied on him, I was just human nature. When she was at her lowest, where was he as her husband? What right did he have to criticize her? What right did he have to humiliate her? Wasn't he the who unintentio encouraged her accept Rayan and developed such a good chemistry between them? Wasn't he the one who pushed her away to Rayan's side? Yes, he had long been disqualified. Originally, he wanted to get along with her and just remain as friends. He didn't want to quarrel with her and to hate each other every time they met. However, he couldn't help it. Whenever he saw her with another man, he would lose control of himself and be consumed by rage. In fact, her life abroad was really ordinary. It could even be described as miserable. Complicated emotions constantly surged in his heart, and it seemed to be boiled by saltwater. His handsome face gradually twisted, and his eyes became gloomier. He stood up and ran outside. He even forgot to give orders to Alvin and to ask him, "Who was her beloved man whom she designed the luxury car for?" He ran down the stairs and started his Hummer. He then rushed towards the hospital. At noon, he was burning with anger. He ordered the doctors and nurses in the hospital to give the woman their cold shoulder, and to leave her on her own. What the hell was he doing? Richards Group was one of the shareholders of the hospital. Everyone in the hospital, from the Director to the doctors and nurses, would not dare to disobey his orders. Why did this happen? He felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife! He drove recklessly and kept honking along the way, causing the cars in front of him to dodge in fear. As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he stopped the car and ran to Still gasping for breath, he pushed open the glass door. Jenna was lying quietly on the bed. He heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to stop but hurried to her side. Soon, his heart went up his throat. Jenna was lying in the hospital bed. Her cheeks were red, her eyes were tightly shut, and her lips were dry and cracked. His heart sank to the bottom. He reached out and hugged her. Her whole body was hot, and the wound on her back was swollen. There was blood seeping out of the wound. He saw her dry cracked lips parting slightly, like she was saying something. He leaned over his ear and heard her muttering in a low voice, "Dad, Dad." The air that came out of her mouth was hot, and it burned his ears. There was a rumbling sound in his mind, and he subconsciously tightened his arms around her, as if he wanted to merge her into his body. He pressed the bell by the bed and shouted angrily, "Doctor! Nurse!" In an instant, the hospital was in a panic. All the doctors and nurses came over. When they saw the murderous intention in Hansen's eyes, they were reeling in fear and dared not speak. He had ordered them not to care about Jenna, but as doctors and nurses, it was their duty to save lives and to help the injured. No matter what other people said, they all had the responsibility to treat the patients. However, this time around, they really didn't hear the bell ring. They didn't hear her asking for help. It was not a fatal disease, but a knife wound. If she was not feeling well, they would come over as long as she pressed the button of the bedside. However, throughout the afternoon, they didn't hear any bell ringing. Jenna's wound was inflamed, and blood was flowing. The fever caused by the infection of the wound and it could be life-threatening. The doctor immediately began to disinfect her wound and gave her an IV drip.
Chapter 39 "Mr. Richards, the patient has lost too much blood and her body is weak. She needs a blood transfusion." When Dr. Brooks saw Hansen, whose eyes were scarlet and his face looking twisted in pain. He was confounded. Rumors had been swirling that Hansen was surrounded by innumerable beautiful women, and that he was soon going to be married to Aria McAdams, the great beauty in A city. A few days ago, reporters photographed him having dinner with Aria's parents and discussing the wedding. However, the scene in front of him was that Hansen's eyes were fixed on the weak woman in the hospital bed, and he looked like his heart seemed was full of sorrow. Why was he so nervous about her? Was it because she saved him? Or did he actually love this woman, his ex-wife? Although Dr. Brooks was surprised, he did not dare to speculate too much. After all, it was Hansen's personal matters. The personal affairs of successful people were usually mysterious and eventful. As a doctor, he should not speculate about gossip. However, even he could see that this woman on the hospital bed was very important to Hansen. "Transfer the blood then! Use mine!" Hansen roared and rolled up his sleeves. "That's not possible, Dr. Brooks said calmly, "There is a rule in the hospital that all the blood must be taken from the blood bank, not directly from someone. The reason why I tell you this is that the patient needs blood transfusion and her family members must be notified of this matter." At this point, he quickly ordered the nurse to take the blood sample. Hansen sat down disappointedly. His hands were entangled in his thick hair, and the pain in his heart instantly spread throughout his limbs and bones. If something really happened to her, would he feel at ease for the rest of his life? He just said that he wanted to get along well with her. Why did they still quarrel? He now understood the root of the pain in his heart. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had no choice but to do so. He actually cared about her! Jenna was undergoing a blood transfusion. The doctor also gave her an Soon the red color on Jenna's face faded away, and a strange white color injection for her fever. showed, which was terrifying. Hansen sat in front of the bed staring at her thin little face, and stroking her hand with his eyes closed. He kept an eye on her and even forgot to eat. He sat there in a daze. After a long time, he fell asleep in front of her bed. He was awakened by a burst of soft groans from the bed! He raised his head. Jenna was staring blankly at the celling with her eyes wide open and her eyebrows tightly knitted. Perhaps it was because of pain, she gritted her teeth and whimpered softly. "You're awake, Hansen asked in surprise. Jenna turned to look at him and stared at him. It seemed that she was recalling something, but at the same time, she looked as if she wanted to see through to his heart. Hansen felt a rush of inexplicable panic, and he did not dare to look at her bright eyes directly. She looked at him absent-mindedly. Her clear eyes seemed to beckon him to fall in love at any time, which made him feel an inexplicable guilt. Sure enough, after a while, the light in her eyes gradually extinguished, and an icy coldness gradually enveloped her eyes. She turned her head and didn't look at him anymore. Hansen knew that she woke up from the coma and remembered what had happened in the morning, as well as his cruelty. She hated him. He was not angry at all. He took the expensive bird's nest soup sent by the hotel from the bedside table and gently propped up her body. He held her head softly and whispered in her ear, "You are weak. Have some bird's nest soup, it'll help with your recuperation." Jenna's eyes were cold, and she looked like a wooden dummy. She didn't even look at him, let alone answer him. The corners of Hansen's mouth were slightly turned up. He held her in his arms and blew in her ear, "Do you want to eat it by yourself, or do you want me to feed you?" Jenna's ears were itchy. She turned her head and said coldly, "Get out of here. want to rest. I don't want you pretending to be nice here." "Why do you think that I am pretending? I sincerely hope that you will get better soon. Don't forget that we signed a contract. I have a lot of things to do and I still need your cooperation. Before the design is finished, I will personally supervise you and sleep with you" Hansen was overbearing, but his tone was gentle. Although it sounded bossy, it was not just an order at all. Jenna had long seen through his capricious mood, so she didn't intend to respond to him. Hansen stared at her, and he tugged at the corners of his mouth. He picked up the soup, took a big sip, pulled her little face over, and covered her dry red lips. His lips were on hers, and the soup on the tip of his mouth moistened her lips. It was sticky and she felt a little breathless. He gently bit her, but the picture of him kissing Aria suddenly flashed through Jenna's mind. Suddenly, she felt nauseated. Before she could resist, he pinched her nostrils. She opened her mouth and the warm and greasy liquid entered her mouth, mixed with his saliva. She made an "ah" sound and the liquid slipped into her stomach with a gurgle. "That's more like it!" Hansen was satisfied to see Jenna drinking the bird's nest soup. He chuckled and said, "Do you want me to feed you like this or will you eat it yourself?" He asked with a faint smile. However, his tone was not negotiating at all, but rather, threatening. Jenna knew that she couldn't defeat this strong and reckless man at all. He had always been supercilious and could do whatever he wanted. He was determined to make her drink! If she did not listen to him, she would have to taste more of his saliva. It was best if she just obeyed him. At any time, it was an easy act for him to teach her a lesson. On top of that, her resistance was simply not worth mentioning. She glared at him and opened her mouth. "Yeah, good girl." Hansen was satisfied and laughed out loud. He took a spoonful of the bird's nest and fed it to her. He didn't feel relieved until she swallowed all of it. "That's more like a woman," Hansen said with a wicked smile on his face. Jenna's eyes were wide open, and she felt helpless. After finishing the soup, she felt that her energy was coming back into her body. She curled her lip and ignored his trick. She turned her head to look at him and said softly, "You should go back. I can stay here by myself. I don't need you to take care of me." "If hadn't rushed over this afternoon, what would have happened to you?" Hansen's eyes became more and more resentful. He said with anger, "Shouldn't you call a nurse yourself if you didn't feel well? You're not a child anymore." Jenna felt suffocated in her heart, and the anger rushed to her head. D*mn it, she had heard him shouting at the nurse outside, "Ignore that b*tch, let her die on her own." He was the one who gave the order, but now he was here trying to be the nice guy. She didn't want to bother with him at all. "What's wrong with you?" Hansen looked at Jenna who was flushing again. Cold sweat was running down her forehead. Her shoulders were shaking, and she was breathing heavily. He was in a panic. He quickly put his hand on Jenna's forehead and pressed the bell at the head of the bed. Within a short time, Dr. Brooks and the nurses came over and busied themselves for a long time. Mr. Richards, the patient is now weak. Please do not agitate the patient. It would be bad for her recovery," Dr. Brooks invited Hansen to the side and whispered, but the emotion in his eyes was unclear. Hansen was stunned, and a trace of shame flashed in his eyes, but he cursed bitterly, "You d*mn woman." After hearing Hansen's words, Dr. Brooks rushed to Jenna's side and nervously looked at her. He could not help but shake his head. After confirming that she was fine, Hansen sat down in front of the bed, opened a steaming thermos, and ordered aggressively, "Have some oatmeal." Jenna closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep. Hansen bent down and stared at her. The blush on her face had not completely faded. Her eyes were tightly shut, but her long eyelashes were slightly trembling. She didn't look like she was asleep at all. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. "Stop pretending to be asleep. I will supervise you in person these coming days. From now on, you have to follow my order. Finish the food and cooperate with the doctor. I want you to get better as soon as possible," he whispered in her ear in a commanding tone. After saying that, he scanned her from top to bottom. She kept her eyes shut and ignored him. He was a little annoyed and said, "Don't be ungrateful. You are the only woman in the world that I have personally taken care of. Don't play coy, my patience is limited." He was so arrogant and overbearing, behaving as if it was a great gift that he was going to take care of her. Then I'll ask you to leave. I don't need your care. It's my own fault that I saved you. It has nothing to do with you. Jenna closed her eyes. Her voice was weak but firm. "You..." Hansen almost jumped up because of her words. The suppressed anger in his heart was ignited again. He wanted to into a rage, but whi he saw Jenna lying in bed weakly, he swallowed the anger. "Jenna, why are you so stubborn? Shouldn't women be more gentle?" He suppressed his anger, cleared his voice, and said with difficulty, "I have thought about it these days. No matter what kind of conflict we had in the past, we should have let it go and talk peacefully. Even if we can't be a couple, we can still be friends. Why do we have to be enemies? have decided that no matter what you did or what harm you brought to me or my father, I will forget all this. After all, we are still young, and we have a long road ahead of us. Don't worry, as long as you stay in the company, I will compensate you well. If you decide to leave, I will not force you to stay. However, you still have to honor the contract. Just like any other employee, the contract is for a year. It's the company's regulations." Hansen's eyes were deep, and his tone was gentle and calm. He was tired. Since she appeared in front of him, he had been in a mess. His life was also in disarray. He really needed to calm down. He warned himself not to provoke her. This woman had already impacted his life, and he was going to marry Aria. They should lead their own lives, but he couldn't control himself and wanted to involve himself with her matters. Even he himself couldn't figure out what was going on.
Chapter 40 "Hansen, I'll say it again. I didn't do anything to hurt you and your father. As for what happened that day, I have no idea. Similarly, for our marriage, it was not my intention as well, It was grandma's order. If you're hurt because of this, I can only apologize. However, you're not the only one who got hurt. What about me?" Jenna said word by word with a cold smile on her lips. As she was talking about her sad past, she began to cry. Her shoulders trembled, but her eyes were full of stubbornness. How could she admit to something she had not done? She did not have anything to do with what happened three years ago. She had no idea what had happened at all! "Okay, okay. It's my bad for bringing it up." Hansen thought of Dr. Brooks' words when he saw that she was stirred, so he nodded repeatedly and said, "Let the past stay in the past. Now, take good care of yourself and eat something." Hansen was extremely annoyed. He really didn't want to talk about the d*mned past anymore. He picked up the oatmeal again and said seriously, "From now on, you have to be obedient. Eat something. Tell me, do you want me to feed you or open your mouth by yourself?" There was no room for negotiation. Jenna remained silent. Hansen's patience was chafed. He scooped up a spoon and put it into his mouth. When he was about to put it into Jenna's mouth, Jenna said weakly and timely, "I'll eat it myself." Hansen smiled in his heart, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a beautiful curve. "Look at you. Even if you're stubborn, you still have to listen to me!" Hansen thought. "I can handle it." Jenna was very stubborn. When Hansen saw that she was willing to eat, he was happy and could not help feeling smug. He saw that although it was inconvenient for her to move her right hand, her left hand was fine. He was afraid that she would be emotional, so he went along with her. He gently held her in his arms, pulled the tray over to the bed, and put the oatmeal on it. Jenna used her left hand to pick up a spoon and ate it. After she was done eating, she was sweating all over. "Stubborn." Hansen, who was beside her, snorted discontentedly and forced her to drink some soup. Only then was he satisfied. After the meal, Hansen put the things away. When he turned around, he saw that Jenna was supporting herself to get up, and there was a painful expression on her face. He asked in a hurry, " What are you doing?" Jenna pouted and ignored him. "Don't move. Be obedient. Or I'll give you a sponge bath later, Hansen frowned and coaxed her. "I want to go to the bathroom," Jenna blushed and mumbled. Hansen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud. He stretched out his long legs, came over, and reached out his hands to pick her up. Jenna lay in his warm arms and was held by him like a porcelain doll. She felt uncomfortable. She snuggled up in Hansen's arms as if she had no bones. As soon as Hansen touched her body, a long-lost repressed desire slowly rose in his body. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his face turned red. He gently put her on the ground, held her with one hand, and opened the toilet cover with the other hand. He was about to help her take off her pants. Jenna grabbed him with her left hand, and she was blushing. "It's better if you leave," she whispered with a red face. Hansen was stunned and thought of something. With a grin on his face, he whispered in her ear, "Why are you being shy? I'm familiar with every part of you!" Jenna was shy and anxious, and she rolled her eyes at him. However, Hansen did not listen to her. He helped her take off her pants and sat her on top of the toilet bowl. Jenna was blushing and she said angrily, "If you don't go out, I can't pee. turn around, okay?" sen turned e to the side and smiled. "No." Jenna answered very seriously, "How pleasant do you think the smell will be?" "D*mned woman, I'm worried that you might fall down," Hansen snorted in his heart and walked out. He went to the shower room to fetch a large basin of warm water and placed it in front of the bed. When he heard a noise behind him, he hurriedly turned his head and saw Jenna slowly moving against the wall. "Don't move. Don't you know how to call for me?" He yelled discontentedly. He walked over and picked her up. Then he walked to the bedside and gently placed her on the bed. He bent down, lowered his head, and wrung the towel. He stood up and started wiping her body. "You can't bathe for two days. The wound needs to be kept dry. Hold on," he explained while he wiped her body. Didn't all women prefer being clean? He was also worried that she couldn't bear being dirty. He wiped her body gently and meticulously, especially when he was near the wound. The action in his hand was as gentle as the spring breeze. Jenna watched as he carefully and attentively wiped her body. The expression on his face was as if he was cleaning an extremely precious work of art. The light in his eyes was clear. She could not help but feel warm in her heart. It seemed that he could actually take care of people. He was gentle and considerate, which was really unbelievable. She was secretly surprised. After wiping her body, Hansen went to the shower room to take a shower. Then he came back and forced Jenna to eat some fruit. He sat on the sofa at the side, turned on his laptop, and started working. Soon, he was immersed in his work. in the early autumn night, it was quiet, warm, and peaceful. Jenna lay quietly, thinking about what he had said today and the way he gently took care of her. She was lost in thought. "Even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be friends. This was what he said. However, could they be friends again? Perhaps that was all he wanted from her. She made up her mind and stopped thinking about it. Since there would not be an ending, there was no need to think too much. Her eyelids were gradually getting heavier. She slowly closed her eyes. When she woke up in a daze, she saw lights in the room. There was a burning pain in her back. She groaned in pain and fell asleep again. When she woke up for a moment, she was still sleeping in his warm arms. He put his big palm behind her and held her so that she would not turn around and press on the wound. She had never felt so peaceful before, and soon, she fell asleep again. In the next two days, Hansen really took care of her personally. He made sure that she ate, took the medicine, and drank the bird's nest soup. Jenna had to finish all the food that he had brought for her. Otherwise, he would use his own way to make Jenna eat obediently. Jenna knew that she couldn't defeat him, so she complied obediently. The wound gradually turned into a scab, and she was feeling better. She could finally walk on her own. On the third night, Hansen had something to do. After seeing that she had finished eating, drinking the bird's nest soup and medicine, he forced her to have some fruits. Only then did he leave the ward. Jenna called home for a bit. After that, she went out for a walk. Her ward was located in the most luxurious and quietest building in the hospital. It was in the center of the hospital. It was different from the wards, more elegantly decorated. There were only a few wards on the whole floor, and the patients all stayed in their own room to rest. The corridor was empty, and Jenna did not dare to go far. She was worried that Hansen would be anxious if he did not see her when he came back. Therefore, she only walked along the corridor. In the long corridor, the windows were open. The air was suffused with the fragrance from magnolias and chrysanthemums, She breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly. Soon, she reached the the last ward in the corridor. She thought it was the end, but then, she saw a corridor extending to the right. It was long and there was an extra-large ward at the end of it. She felt a little strange. This section was covered in red carpet. It felt warm and the ward looked extremely high class. Outside the window in front of the corridor, there was a tall magnolia tree. The tree was tall and thick, and its branches and leaves had extended through the window. At night, the wind was blowing strong. If the window was accidentally closed, it would crush the flowers on the tree branches. She smiled, stretched out her hand to push the branches and leaves outside the window, and closed the window quietly. When she turned around, she looked up at this big ward. The environment here was quiet. Not only the carpet, but even the windows were covered with a warm red color. The lights in the corridor were hazy. It was really a rare great ward. The curtains of the ward were green. The door to the ward was closed and Jenna could not see the patient staying in it. Whoever stayed in it must be someone rich or high ranking. Jenna felt tired after walking around and decided to walk back to the ward. "Alas, he has been in a coma for so many years.

The most important thing is still to be healthy," another nurse echoed. Jenna's body suddenly became cold, and a strange sadness rose from the bottom of her heart. She suddenly felt a pain. She clearly knew that they were talking about someone else, and it had nothing to do with her, but she still felt extremely uncomfortable. She hurried back to her ward and felt goosebumps on her back, as if there were a pair of eyes staring at her from behind. "Jenna While Jenna was fantasizing and feeling uncomfortable, Hannah's voice sounded.. Jenna raised her head and looked into Hannah's eyes. It was only then that she remembered how Hannah had called and scolded her today. She had already told her that she would come visit her tonight. She had completely forgotten about this matter. She scratched her head and giggled at her. Jenna, you really are a fool. Let me see how serious your injury is" Hannah helped Jenna into the ward with difficulty. Then she ran to close the door of the ward like a gust of wind. Hannah looked at Jenna and said, "Tsk, tsk, look how thin you are. There is only one woman like you in the world who is willing to block a knife for that b*stard." As Hannah said this, she started lifting Jenna's clothes to see the wound. Jenna had no choice but to listen to her.
