NovelOnline“What plan?” Ralph was curious.
“| can’t tell you yet, but I'll let you know when | succeed,” Hannah said softly, seeing his somewhat shocked expression, "It's not that | want to hide it from you, but I'm not sure if it'll work. Anyway, for our future, | have to take the risk!” At the mention of “our future," Ralph felt touched and held her dainty hand as he said softly, “You saw what happened at the Russell Estate yesterday. | might have nothing left, and people would mock and look down on me. Are you sure you're willing to be withnow?” “Yes, | am!” She buried herself into his chest and said gently, “Those people know nothing about you. What do they know? They're clueless about your ambitions. You've tried hard and are unlucky because your mom didn’t help you. It’s not your fault but theirs!” Growing up in such an environment, Hannah had a twisted worldview and thought everything was unfair. ‘If parents could kill their children for a baseless curse, why should we care about kinship? ‘So what if Ralph isn’t related to Margaret by blood? She raised him for many years, but how could she expose him before all those people? What's Ralph going to do for the rest of his life now? ‘These people are cruel, and Ralph is simply too pitiful. He's just like me, deserted by the world. The world is huge, yet it has no place for us.’ Her words moved Ralph. Only her words have resonated with him since yesterday. He never expected that it would be this woman who understood him the most.
Ralph gritted his teeth as he held her tight. “Yes! It's not my fault. Everything went well at first, but they were the ones who deserted and wronged me!” “Don’t give up because you still have me! There will be hope as long as we stay together.” Hannah felt blissful at this very moment.
She could finally embrace the man she loved as herself, and the man loved her too—and only her. They needed each other and were there for each other. ‘From now on, I'm no longer alone!’ “Yes, | won't be defeated. | still need to plan for our future!” He had no idea how at the moment, but since Hannah had said so, he decided not to wallow in sorrow. ‘As long as | stay alive, there'll be hope!” Hannah looked at him and said, “Don’t worry too much for now and get srest in the coming two days. Although it's small here and a bit far from the city, it’s quiet, and no one will disturb you. There are snack bars and supermarkets downstairs, and here's smoney for you. I'll visit you whenever | can.” Ralph held her hand. “You're leaving?” “Yes, I've been out for too long, and | was only allowed to leave because | had to do something for Heather. She has beclax withlately because | did everything she askedto, but | can’t risk going back too late, or she might get suspicious.” After a pause, she added, “Don’t call or text me. I'll contact you when | have the chance. Please wait for me, okay?” Ralph looked into her eyes and could not bear for her to leave. He pulled her into his chest, lowered his head, and kissed her hard and sincerely.
