Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 290

I quickly changed the subject, turning to Hannah and saying, "Don't you think that one of these sisters

is lying today?"

I asked this with certainty, knowing that Hannah wasn't just an ordinary soldier. She must be an astute

warrior, her insight incredibly sharp.

Otherwise, as she said, they wouldn't have let her stay by Ronan's side, acting as a secret aide, whose

identity information wouldn't be shared externally.

Unexpectedly, my heart warmed towards Ronan a little more. He'd dispatched a confidant for my sake.

This special treatment touched me deeply.

Without missing a beat, Hannah said, "Zora's not being truthful. She took the report, which means it's

been used by her!"

Hannah's thoughts aligned with mine. I chuckled, teasingly saying, "Great minds think alike. That's

what I was thinking too, that the child's disappearance is directly linked to this report!"

I put down my spoon, my appetite waning at the thought of this matter. I was thinking about how I was

here, enjoying the fine cuisine, but what about the child? I couldn't even be sure if he'd had a meal. The

dream always haunted me, making me restless.

Seeing my worry, Hannah spoke to comfort me, "Miss, don't stress too much! The police are on it, so

rest assured. There will be an outcome!"

I took a sip from my water glass, but secretly thought that the police had been investigating for days,

yet there was still no result. God knows what the child was going through. If it were my child, I swear I'd

go mad.

Marissa, the only person who truly cared for him was gone. I sighed involuntarily. People who aren’t

born with responsible parents can have a rough go of it!

I looked up to see Hannah studying me intently, and I casually asked, "What's up?"

"I was thinking about Marissa," Hannah surprisingly was thinking about Marissa too. It seemed like we

really were in sync.

"Miss, if only that child had a decent mother, he wouldn't have met such a fate!" Hannah's eyes were

filled with pity and sorrow.

I looked at her, "From now on, don't call me Miss. Call me Aaliyah like everyone else. Miss sounds too

formal."

I thought to myself that since Ronan had sent her to protect me, she was like family. Plus, being

inseparable these past few days, we'd developed an understanding.

Moreover, I knew the importance Hannah placed on me wasn't just due to Ronan's orders, but also a

mutual fondness that sprung up. Just like my trust in her, she gave me a strange sense of security.

At my words, Hannah smiled broadly, "Sure thing! From now on, I'll call you Aaliyah. I would like to treat NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

you as a sister, as I only have a brother."

"You have a brother?" I asked, feeling a tinge of envy, "It's nice to have siblings!"

Hannah's face stiffened momentarily but quickly returned to normal.

She pushed the food towards me, "Aaliyah, eat up! You're not eating enough, Mr. Richardson won't be

pleased. He specifically got this for you!"

I smiled at her, teasing, "So if he buys it, I have to stuff myself?"

Hannah grinned back.

Though I said this, I obediently continued to eat. But it didn't taste as good as before!

I looked at her while eating, "Don't you think that Zora and that Jerome must be connected somehow?"

"Jerome has been on our radar for a while now. He's ruthless!" Hannah said with certainty, proving that

they've been watching him for some time.

"Why don't you take care of him then?" I asked, puzzled.

"We don't know who his big boss is yet, this man is very cautious, we haven't been able to find out,"

Hannah seemed to trust me, not hiding the details from me.

Just then, Hannah's phone rang. She quickly pulled it out of her pocket, glanced at the screen, and

furrowed her brows. Looking at me, she said, "It’s Jaylan!"
