Seeing the utter defeat in her eyes, Lionel’s jaw tightened. He let out a long sigh and walked to the door.
“Hannah, I am never going to divorce you. I only said I was unmarried at the press conference to protect you. You’ll understand why someday.” His voice was thick with unspoken words. He wanted to tell her everything, but the time wasn't right.
Hannah turned her head away, ignoring him.
Lionel opened his mouth to say more, but then closed it. He knew how stubborn she was. If he pushed her, she would disappear again, and this time she might run to Quennel or Yves. He sighed and left.

That afternoon, Hannah went to the hospital alone to have her dressing changed. On her way out, she ran into Sandra coming down the stairs. Hannah tried to ignore her, but Sandra rushed over and blocked her path.
“Hannah! I heard you were in a car accident. Are you okay?”
Hannah’s brow furrowed. She didn't want to be alone with this woman; she knew exactly how vicious Sandra could be.
“I heard it was Xenia. I can’t believe she would do something so stupid,” Sandra said, her face a mask of feigned concern.
