Chapter 944

“Okay.” I hung up and told Cameron a few things before leaving.

She wasn’t wearing anything thick, and it was already winter in K City. It was impossible for me to takesome clothes from the house, so I had to pick her up first.

It was hard to get a ride at the hospital, so I was left waiting, much to my chagrin.

“Scarlett!” someone called out to me, much to my surprise. I looked around to see who was calling meand saw Hannah, which was quite a shock.

She was wearing a tan-colored jacket, and her hair was tied up in a bun, making her look younger. Shewas also wearing an elegant pair of pearl earrings. Hannah didn’t have the cute look of a young lady,for she was already in her thirties, but she was mature, attractive, and elegant.

“Why did you come to the hospital? Are you sick?” I smiled at her.

She returned the smile and came up to me. “Not me. My boyfriend’s mother. We came to visit her. Iwas just going to call you to see which room Summer is in so we can see her too.”

At the same time, Hannah’s boyfriend parked his car at the roadside and greeted us.

Hannah asked, “Are you going somewhere? We can give you a lift. It’s hard to get a ride right now, andyou guys can get to know each other. Don’t want you guys to feel awkward if you bump into each othernext time, you know.”

I paused for a moment, then I smiled at her boyfriend. “I need to go to the airport. It’s quite a distanceaway, but let’s catch up some other time.”

“Eh, it’s fine. We don’t have anything to do today, so I’ll go with you. I have something to discussanyway. You’re really busy lately, aren’t you? If I let this chance slip, god knows when the catching up

will happen.” Hannah took me to the car and went into the backseat.

She told her boyfriend, “To the airport, Chandler.”

The man nodded and revved up the car.

Hannah held my hand. “He’s Chandler, my boyfriend. He works as a programmer.”

The man gave me an honest smile, and I smiled back. Hannah continued, “And this is my friend,Scarlett. I told you about her.”

We got to know each other after that. Chandler looked like an honest man, and he seemed to beyounger than Hannah. I met him before at the restaurant. He was about six feet four in height. Atowering giant, really. He wasn’t conventionally handsome, but he sent out a good vibe.

Then, I looked at Hannah. I never bumped into her again after leaving the Stovall residence. Well, itwas just a few days though. I was about to ask her about John, but it looked like she had probablydecided to dump him.

I kept my mouth shut since her life was peaceful at the moment. Dating John was not a goldenexperience for her. To say it was torture might even be an understatement. In any case, nobody couldfault her for leaving.

“Oh, are you picking someone up at the airport?” Hannah asked.

I nodded. “Yeah. My friend from A City came. It’s chilly right now, and it’s hard to get a ride there.Moreover, she isn’t wearing a lot of clothes right now either.”

Hannah nodded. “I think we have some clothes here.” Then, she asked Chandler, “Chandler, did youtake the clothes in the trunk home? You know, the ones I put a few days ago.”

Chandler shook his head. “No. Work has been hectic these couple of days. I’ve forgotten about it.”

She pouted. “You always forget what I told you. Man, you and that bad memory of yours, but this isactually good.” She smiled at me. “Your friend’s a girl, right? If it’s fine for her, I can lend her my clothes.Winter in K City can be a nightmare Don’t let her fall ill.”

I nodded. Hannah seemed different somehow. She used to be elegant and hard to approach, but shewas warmer and more approachable now.

She was surprised to see me smile though. “Are you going to ask about John and I?”

I froze up for a moment, but she explained, “It’s fine. Chandler knows about it, so you don’t have tohold back. Ask away. Oh, I almost forgot about this, but Chandler and I are getting married. I was goingto ask you to come with me to the bridal house for the gown fitting. You know I don’t have many friends,so you’re the first person I thought of. But with Summer being hospitalized, I know you must be busy aswell.”

I stopped for a moment to process what she said. Then I smiled. “My mother’s looking after Summer.Tell me in advance if you’re going to try out the gowns. But you sure you talked it out with my brother?Kiki’s still young, so I support you, but…”

She nodded at me. “I know what you’re trying to say, but I’m going to be thirty-three soon. My bestyears are coming to an end. I’ve let go of everything and did everything I had to. I thank god for havingmet Chandler when life seems to be at a dead end. He spoils me a lot, and thanks to him, I found outthat love can come in such an adorable way. We may fall in love with a lot of people throughout ourlives, but there can only be one person who walks with us until the end. I want to live my life withChandler, and I know the kind of life I want to lead. I know you’re worried about your brother and Kiki,but I think of you as my friend, Scarlett. I hope you can think about this from my perspective, alright?”
