    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1214


    Jason looked at Fabian with such a mix of envy and awe that his gaze almost bore a hole through


    Fabian’s skull.


    “I have a question. Why did you decide to tell me all this now, after two months have already passed?”


    Hendrick asked quizzically after a moment’s deep thought.


    “Hannah didn’t want me to at first. She said the time wasn’t right. Afterward, I was busy with an endless


    stream of work at the office and couldn’t find the time to pay the two of you a visit,” Fabian replied


    apologetically.


    “Fortunately, since both of you had nned to head over to the hospital to take care of Hannah, I


    decided that it was the best time to be totally honest. I wanted the two of you to meet my mother, too, to


    discuss my and Hannah’s wedding. I have to make it up to her for our hasty marriage before,” Fabian


    continued sheepishly.


    Wow! I hope Fabian lets me be his best man, Jason thought excitedly. He was d that Fabian and


    Hannah would indeed be getting married.


    Hendrick, however, seemed apprehensive. His brow, having just rxed, immediately furrowed once


    more. Awkwardly, Hendrick stammered, “Fabian, I may not be able to have the final say in this matter.


    I’m sure you know that I… I’m not Hannah’s real father. I don’t think I’m entirely qualified to approve of


    your marriage to Hannah.”


    If it had been up to Hendrick, he would have instantly sanctioned Hannah and Fabian’s union.


    However, Hannah was now ountable to another family. Both Leo and Winson hadid their ims


    on Hannah as her father and brother, respectively. Just two days ago, Leo had approached Hendrick to


    discuss the matter of Hannah legally bing a ckwood.


    Upon hearing Hendrick’s statement of resignation, Jason felt indignant on Hendrick’s behalf. What right


    did the ckwood family have to abandon Hannah, then demand her back at a whim? Had Hendrick’s


    “Don’t worry about that, Mr. Young. I’ve already checked with Hannah, and she doesn’t want to join the


    ckwoods. She still acknowledges the Young family as her own. The only one holding her back is


    Winson,” Fabian exined.


    Ha! Hannah is a fitting partner for Fabian indeed, Jason smirked. She clearly doesn’t give a damn


    about the ckwoods. Surely they can’t expect Hannah to have any feelings for them whatsoever after


    treating her so wretchedly!


    Jason’s approval of Hannah had gone up through the roof over the course of Hendrick and Fabian’s


    exchange. She sounded exactly like someone Jason could get along with.


    “But the ckwoods approached me yesterday to discuss the matter of Hannah changing herst


    name…” Hendrick said fearfully.


    “Don’t worry. Hannah had already inly expressed her refusal to the ckwoods. She won’t be


    changing herst name. Furthermore, Hannah is insistent that her wedding matters will be none of the

    ckwood family’s business. She even jokingly reflected that a brother and a few other friends were all


    she would be gaining from the ckwoods’ side,” Fabian continued, reassuring.


    Hendrick felt relief wash over him. He’d long harbored the secret fear that Hannah would grow aloof


    once she’d married. Hendrick could now rest easy knowing that the Young family had a secure ce in


    Hannah’s heart. He felt slightly ashamed for having overthought things before.


    Nheless, Hendrick remained somewhat conflicted. Hannah would benefit from joining the


    ckwoods. They were, after all, a wealthy and distinguished family, and Hannah would indeed stand


    to gain a sizeable inheritance. Hendrick, however, could promise Hannah no such fortune. In fact, there


    was even the possibility that the Youngs might have to rely on Hannah for financial support in the


    future.


    On the other hand, Hendrick’s fatherly instincts yearned to have his daughter remain by his side.


    Hannah may not have been Hendrick’s own flesh and blood, but he’d amassed no small amount of love


    for Hannah from the twenty years or so from raising her. The Youngs had always treated Hannah as


    their own. Neither Hendrick nor Gillian could bear the thought of parting with Hannah.


    “All right. Let’s rify things once and for all. Hannah loves you both deeply, so please don’t break her


    heart in the name of her supposedly bright future,” Fabian dered solemnly as he looked at Hendrick


    and Gillian in turn.
