The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Ryleigh sat on the floor, her shoulders shaking from the emotional strain.

Bryson and Hannah exited the banquet hall.

Yosef drove them back since Bryson had been drinking.

Resting against the car seat, Bryson held Hannah’s hand firmly, though he remained silent.

Feeling his warm grip, Hannah glanced over and caught his intense gaze.

Their eyes locked.

Bryson’s lips were tight as if he were on the verge of saying something but chose not to.

Hannah averted her gaze, concealing her feelings.

Hannah suspected there was more to Ryleigh’s situation than met the eye, but without evidence, confronting Ryleigh was not an option, especially not while she was Lucid.

Thankfully, Bryson encountered Hannah on this occasion.

With anyone else outside the room, the scenario might have become complex.

“What are you thinking about?”

Bryson’s deep voice broke the silence as he looked intently at Hannah.

“Nothing.

”

With a gentle smile, Hannah turned her gaze away and looked out the window.

The view outside appeared as though it were shrouded in a hazy veil.

In such circumstances, whether she stayed in Cadilind or returned to the Comptons’ home, she would face numerous challenges.

Leviathan might still be in Cadilind, but there was also a lead overseas regarding Hannah’s mother.

Staying in Cadilind to confront Leviathan seemed like a waste of time.

The Enchantment Casino in Muvrand had already positioned itself against the Mitchell family.

Hannah was concerned that, although the Garza family had ceased their attacks, other adversaries might still pose a significant threat to Bryson.

Hannah feared that her departure might embolden those individuals to target Bryson more aggressively.

Hannah closed her eyes, finding it difficult to decide between the two options.

The car remained silent until they reached their destination.

“Mr.

Mitchell, we’ve arrived.

”

Hannah only realized they had reached their accommodations when she heard Yosef’s voice.

Stepping out of the car, Hannah asked Bryson, “Grace…”

“Don’t worry.

She’s going back with Grandpa,” Bryson reassured her softly.

“Rest well here and take care of your eyes.

You can stay here without worry.

Nobody will bother you here.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

With that, Bryson led Hannah into the villa and showed her to her room to rest.
