Chapter 367 - 370: Begging Aidan Lucas to take her away
Aidan Lucas was repulsed when she hugged him voluntarily.
However, as soon as his palm touched her arm, intending to push her away, Hannah Ford, in his arms, suddenly gasped.
“Hiss…it hurts…Ethan, it hurts here, don’t touch!”
Aidan Lucas raised his eyebrows and immediately felt something was off.
He had just lightly touched Hannah’s arm and hadn’t exerted any force. How could it hurt?
His eyes instantly darkened, and ignoring Hannah’s obstruction, he directly pulled her sleeve up.
“Ethan, don’t… don’t look… it’s ugly… really ugly!” Hannah cried with rain-like tears, desperately trying to stop Aidan Lucas.
However, how could she resist the strength of a man?
The hospital gown’s sleeve was easily pulled up.
The small forearm and upper arm exposed outside the sleeve were so pale that they were almost transparent.
But on that pale skin, there were densely packed needle marks.
Hannah’s arm seemed to be so thin that only bone and a thin layer of skin were left.
Aidan Lucas held her wrist, feeling as if it had no weight.
Even such a weak girl was still subjected to brutal crimes by others.
Aidan Lucas looked at her arm with hardly any good flesh left, and a trace of ferocity flashed in his dark eyes.
“What happened!?” he asked.
His face was terribly gloomy.
“I…” Hannah was so scared that she trembled all over, as if extremely frightened. She tried hard to bury herself in his arms and dared not make a sound.
This time, even holding Hannah still made him uncomfortable.
However, Aidan Lucas suppressed it.
He gently patted Hannah’s back with patience and comforted, “It’s okay, rest assured, there’s nothing to worry about. Don’t be afraid… Tell me, what happened exactly?”
Hannah was arranged by him in the VIP ward of this hospital, and logically speaking, she couldn’t have been abused.
Unless his arrangements were a mistake, leading her to receive such inhuman treatment.
Aidan Lucas’s tone was not as indifferent as at first but rather gentle and reassuring, which gradually calmed Hannah Ford’s emotions.
She nestled in Aidan Lucas’s arms, her red eyes filled with mist, and slowly recounted the whole story to him.
It turned out that the information Samuel McKinley got from the hospital was all false.
Hannah was not an unreasonable woman.
She knew that Aidan Lucas was busy with work and couldn’t really keep watch over her in the hospital for more than a month.
So even when she first woke up and didn’t see Aidan Lucas, Hannah never thought about making a fuss.
Unfortunately, though.
Although Aidan Lucas spent a lot of money on her treatment, after all, he was in Eastonia and couldn’t do much about it.
Hannah happened to be admitted to a hospital where two extremely biased white doctors happened to work.
They saw that Hannah was physically weak and had a timid and soft character.
Apart from Bella Scott, only a caregiver was there to look after her.
So they bribed the caregiver and sometimes pricked Hannah with a needle for fun.
They even wanted to inject her with some drugs that could control her mind.
After Hannah woke up from surgery, she would occasionally fall into a deep sleep due to those medication effects.
That was why, most of the time when Bella Scott came over, Hannah was asleep.
On a few occasions when she was awake, those two doctors with abusive tendencies pretended to want to administer therapeutic injections in front of Bella Scott.
She had no choice but to struggle desperately, which made Samuel McKinley and Bella Scott think that she was unwilling to cooperate with the doctors’ treatment because she couldn’t see Aidan Lucas.
“That’s…what happened…” Hannah nestled in Aidan Lucas’s arms, choking back tears.
“Ethan, I’m so scared, I’m really scared… I thought I would never see you again in my life. Can you take me away? Take me away, please?!”
