Chapter 126


    The scorching sunshine filtered through the curtains. The faint smell of disinfectant wafted in the air.


    It had been a few weeks since J came to see Hannah. She felt a little guilty about not being able to


    see her often. Ever since J started working, she had been dealing with unfortunate incidents that


    seemed to take all her time.


    Hannah’s liver transnt surgery was scheduled for 10 o’clock today. J still had half an hour to talk


    with her.


    “Don’t be nervous. You won’t feel any pain after they administer anesthesia.”


    J smiled andbed Hannah’s gray hair.


    Hannah gently patted J’s hand and smiled at her. “I have no fear, my little girl. I know you’re busy


    with work. You don’t have to wait here for me. The nurses in the hospital are very considerate. You


    need to stop worrying about me.”


    Tears welled up in J’s eyes. She knew Hannah was in so much pain, yet the old woman was


    smiling to make sure J didn’t worry about her.


    “Don’t worry about me. I’m not a child.” J couldn’t help but smile at her.


    Hannah suddenly pouted and flicked her gaze to the door. “That young man has been waiting outside


    for a long time. Why don’t you let him in?”


    J turned around and saw Ethan leaning against the railing in the corridor. His gaze asionally


    flitted toward them to see if they were okay.


    J hadn’t figured out how to introduce him yet.


    “Nice to meet you.” Ethan walked into the ward with a polite smile. He had changed into a brown


    windbreaker today. The man looked handsome as if he hade straight out of a magazine


    photoshoot.


    J had never seen Ethan in such clothes before. She was taken aback for a moment.


    After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “This is Ethan. Well… You know about the marriage the Lind


    family had arranged for me.”


    Hannah wasn’t aware of J’s secret. She only knew the Lind family had arranged a man for J


    and that she was already married.


    Hannah’s face broke into an ecstatic smile as she examined Ethan’s face. “Wow, what a handsome


    young man!” She patted J’s hand. “He looks like a good, decent man. J, you are a lucky girl!”

    Ethan smiled and nced at the clock on the wall. “It’s about time.”


    J’s heart leaped to her throat when she saw the nurses wheeling Hannah into the operation


    theater. “She will be okay, right?” she asked in a tremulous voice.


    “Yes, everything will be fine.” Ethan patted her backfortingly.


    It was a long procedure thatsted all afternoon.


    Hannah had to stay in the hospital for at least three weeks for observation to see if her body had


    adapted to the new liver.


    After the operation, Hannah had to rest on the bed as the doctors administered an IV drip. She needed


    someone to take care of her.


    “I want to take a few days off and take care of Hannah. But I’m not sure if thepany will agree.”


    J let out a weary sigh as she walked out of the doctor’s office.


    “You should call them and exin your situation. I’m sure they’ll understand. After all, it’s a reasonable


    request,” Ethan suggested.


    “But I have already taken many days off this month.” J’s shoulders slumped with dejection.


    “How do you know if you don’t give it a try?” Ethan asked


    J sighed and called Tiffany.


    “You want to ask for leave? No problem at all. How many days do you need? How about two weeks?”


    Tiffany asked in a serious tone. J was taken aback. She thought Tiffany was mocking her.


    “No, no, no! Thank you so much.” J frantically shook her head. “Forget I called.”


    “No, I’m serious. How many days do you need?” Tiffany asked. Brandon had called Tiffany earlier and


    spoken to her. Therefore, she didn’t dare to frighten J in any way. Tiffany didn’t know much about


    J, but she was shocked the CEO of thepany had personally called her, instructing her to


    approve J’s leave.


    “Well, two days. Is that okay?” J asked cautiously.


    “Okay, okay. Sure. Your leave is approved.” Tiffanyughed.


    Hannah recovered well after the operation. The doctors said she would be discharged real soon.


    J had already taken several days off, so she had to return to work. However, she didn’t work


    overtime and came to the hospital as soon as she got off work to check on Hannah. During the day,


    she hired a nurse to take care of Hannah. Initially she was against the idea of a full-time nurse,


    because she couldn’t afford it. Ethan ended up paying part of the fee to make it happen.


    Three weekster, J packed the bags and helped Hannah out of the hospital.


    “Hannah, would you like to live with me?”


    “Oh, no. I’m old, and I’m used to living in the countryside. Take me back home. I won’t befortable


    living in big apartments here.” Hannah smiled happily. She was pleased to see that J led a better


    life here.


    J had no choice but to grant Hannah’s wish. She called a taxi at the gate of the hospital and


    decided to drop Hannah back at her home in the countryside.


    J looked out the window and saw them traverse a deste path. At that moment, it dawned on her


    that the car was driving in the wrong direction.
