Hannah harbored no intention to intervene excessively, nor did she intend to acquiesce to his terms immediately.


    She simply responded, “It’s not the right ce to examine your legs here.


    Let’s schedule a private appointment for next time.


    ”


    In high spirits, Merlin grinned and inquired, “So, have you epted my terms?”


    “No.


    ” Hannah shook her head, stating firmly, “If I can’t heal your legs, I won’t agree to coborate with you.


    ”


    “Understood.


    ”


    Merlin nodded, his fingers grazing the wheelchair as he eased backward.


    “But, Miss Moore, if you were unable to cure my legs, it would pose a bit of a problem.


    Though the Garza family may find it challenging to confront you at the moment, they’ll undoubtedly devise alternative schemes.


    Rest assured, if I don’t step in to assist you, the Garza family will undoubtedly make your life difficult.


    ”


    Merlin’s gaze held a hint of menace.


    Despite his unchanged expression and soft-spoken tone, his words reverberated ominously.


    “If you haven’t misced the business card I gave youst time, feel free to reach out to me anytime, Miss Moore.


    ”


    With that, Merlin edged backward slightly, prompting his bodyguard to step forward and steady the wheelchair.


    Watching him depart, Hannah furrowed her brow in thought.


    Just as she turned, a collision sent her reeling into a passing waitress.


    The tray she carried spilled towards Hannah, wine sses shattering!


    Despite Hannah’s swift evasion, her clothes were grazed by the spill, droplets staining her attire.


    The waitress, clearly flustered, was on the verge of tears as she hastily apologized, “Miss, I’m terribly sorry.


    I didn’t mean to! Let me clean it up for you right away!”


    “No, thank you.


    It’s my fault.


    I didn’t notice it,” Hannah reassured calmly.


    Inspecting her dress, Hannah reassured the waitress, “It’s ck anyway.


    It’ll hardly show.


    I’ll take care of it in the restroom.


    ”


    The waitress regarded Hannah with gratitude and offered, “In that case, I’ll apany you to the bathroom.


    ”


    “No, I know where it is.


    I can go on my o


    wn.


    ”


    As Hannah went far, the flustered expression on the waitress’ face faded away.


    She nodded to the person standing in the dark not far away and left in a hurry.


    Hannah ced her handbag on the wash basin, moistened a tissue with water, and carefully wiped the hem of her dress.


    Fortunately, there weren’t many wine stains, and they easily came off the ck fabric.


    As she concentrated on cleaning her dress, she sensed someone approaching.


    Instinctively, Hannah lifted her head and noticed Melina standing beside her, dressed in a stark white high-necked gown.


    Melina simply gazed at her reflection in the mirror without uttering a word to Hannah.


    Despite the many vacant spots nearby, Melina had chosen to stand right next to her.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
