Chapter 118

He gazes at her face. His face is ghastly pale and his eyes are scarlet like hell. His strong hands with thunder anger rise, hesitates for a moment, smashing hard on the wall. With a sound of a bone joint misalignment muffled, white wall is left with a fist mark. Blood drops flow down.
He has no idea how he got to the hospital parking lot. Getting into his car, he slams on the gas, turns the steering wheel wildly to the right, and then heads into downtown center. The car scratches a long scratch on the guardrail, just like his wounded heart.
The shrill engine reverberates through the quiet streets and the mad Lamborghini, like a runaway horse, rampages through the brightly lit streets. Pedestrians and vehicles are dodging. Screeching is all over the streets.
The rampaging Lamborghini stops in front of the "Night" bar. His tires screech against the ground. The men and women around are all jumbled with terror.
A woman in a tight black dress and her boyfriend just go out of the bar. They are almost hit by the Lamborghini and the woman screams into her boyfriend's arms. As he consoles his frightened girlfriend, the man swears, "Are you looking for death? Watch out!" The man is in flower shirts dangled thick gold necklaces around his necks and points Kendric with large gold rings in his finger.
Kendric pushes open the door, with the air of an insufferable king. His cold face is even with a smile. But people feel a strong pressure as if the air around him is a few degrees below.
Step by step he walks slowly toward the flower shirt man. His voice is low but it is deterrent enough, "What did you say? I did not hear from you. Say it again."
The man in the flower shirt is shocked by Kendric's momentum. But his girlfriend is nearby and he has to pretend to be tough, "I ask you if you are looking for trouble!"
The words just fell and a heavy blow has hit his right face! A nosebleed comes out immediately. The screams, the alarms are everywhere and the scene is a mess.
Kendric stand there alone. His long legs are folded proudly and stand steadily watching the scene.
His shoulder is patted gently, "Kendric, it is you! I wonder who dares break the scene in my place." A man with somewhat sinister features smiles at Kendric seems familiar.
Kendric raises his eyebrows, "Johnson, the state of guests in your bar is getting lower and lower."
Johnson just smiles, "Let's go and have a drink. It has been a long time. They are here, too."
As soon as Kendric comes in, the stars in the VIP box are excited! This is Kendric George, if one can get this Golden Lord, she will not have to worry about anything anymore.
One by one, they twist their waists toward Kendric, as sitting directly on his lap. Kendric takes off his coat, throws it casually on the sofa, loosens his tie, and orders the waiter to open one of the most expensive bottles of wine.
Johnson lies in the pile of women and he suddenly frowns, "Kendric, what happens to your hand?"
"Oh, I broke it by accident." Says Kendric faintly. But the pain at the bottom still cannot hide from Johnson's eyes.
It seems that he broke it on his own. But what else in the world can make the arrogant president George self-multilation? Johnson does not feel right.
"Lalaine, why do not you go with Mr. George?" Johnson winks at Lalaine. She just won the international awards. She is the most popular one at the time.
The Night bar is so great. You can find the most popular star and the most beautiful young model in the VIP box. The Johnson family has almost monopolized the domestic entertainment industry.

Hannah wakes up the next morning.
She opens her eyes and only to see a nurse. "Excuse me, where am I, please?" Asks Hannah politely.
"Oh, don't you know? You are in the Hospital."
Hospital? Great! Dad is also in this hospital, waiting for surgery!
Kendric has been haunting her for days. She just wants to visit her father today. He's the only family she has. When the nurse left, Hannah takes off the needle from her hand and walks toward the ICU.
"Hannah, you are here. Why, patient clothes?" asked her Dad, while lying on the bed. He is very happy to see his daughter. He is now able to say short sentences. Hannah is pleased. The pain in the lower abdomen does not seem obvious either.
"Dad, I am fine. I just have a cold. I come to the hospital for an infusion." Hannah replies with ease.
"When I get well, I will pay back the money. You have to study hard." Barry looks at the daughter with relief, naively thinking that the medical expense is really borrowed by his daughter.
"All right Dad, stop talking and have a good rest." Hannah holds Dad's hands and asks the nurse next to her, "When is my father's surgery going to take place?"
The nurse shakes her head and says, "I'm not sure. We have to wait for a matching kidney. But your father is too weak to undergo big surgery. He has to get better."
Hannah sighs. She owes Kendric more and more. She begins to wonder if she could afford…
"Nurse, how can I get the discharge formalities? Hannah asks at the first floor lobby guide. There is an important class today, and she wants to get out of here and go to school.
"Why are you here? I have been looking for you everywhere!" The nurse looks at Hannah angrily. "You have a premonitory abortion. You need to be careful!"
"Abortion?" Hannah just freezes! She cannot be pregnant! Every time she finished with Kendric, she will sneak up on the pill! How is it possible?
Suddenly her face turns pale and her teeth clenches against her lips. Was it that night? That horrible night, she did not even see the man's face! She is pregnant with his baby!
She is only young and her life is just beginning. She is not ready to be a mother! Hannah clenches her bloodless lips and turns pale.
What should I do? Does Kendric know about it? What would he do? What if he shut down the contract and Dad's surgery? Hannah is in a muddle.
"Miss, if you want to leave hospital, you have to pay the bill first." The nurse is a accustomed to looking at Hannah, who is shaking all over.
When she sees the bill from the nurse, Hannah gets dizzy, since she can impossible afford to the long string of "0" even if you sell her! It is merely first aid. Why would it cost so much?
Hannah mutters, pulls out her wallet, counts of five hundred dollar bills, and talks to the nurse, "Can I pay part of the bill first?"
"No! All must be settled!" The nurse replies.
Her shaking hands pick up the phone, dial a series of numbers. The phone connects, but Hannah says nothing.
On the other end of the phone, Kendric is silent too. The atmosphere is stifling. Halfway up, Hannah is about to hang up the phone when she hears a feminine voice on the other end, "Kendric, come on! I can't wait!"
Kendric suddenly hangs up the phone.
Hannah bites her lips. Somewhere in her heart is broken.
"That is funny. Who do you think you are? If you are in trouble, you should call the police, not Kendric! Hannah, why are you so immature?" Hannah shakes her head with a self-deprecating laugh.
It is cold at night. Hannah doesn't know where to go. There is no place for her.
Holding her shoulders, she sits down slowly against the corner. Her long hair covers her tired white face.
"So tired, I wish I could sleep and never wake up."
"Miss, I have been looking for you everywhere! You can leave the hospital." The nurse's voice wakes up Hannah, who has already curls up in the corner and falls asleep.
"Really?" Hannah can't believe her ears.
"Miss, the president sent me to pick you up." A man behind the nurse says.
It is Paul.
Hannah stands up in silence. She can't refuse, can she? She can't run away from Kendric George, unless he gets tired of her and leaves her.
Bentley drives smoothly. Hannah's cellphone rings suddenly. In a heartbeat, is it Kendric's text? On the screen, it is a weather report. Hannah is suddenly disappointed for some reason.
The car is racing along the quiet road. Hannah looks out the window and frowns a little puzzled, "Paul, are you going the wrong way?"
Paul turns his head and says, "Yes, the president asks me to take you to his apartment in the middle of the hill."
Seeing that Hannah is not sure yet, Paul explains, "Miss, you have get on my Boss's nerves this time, I am afraid that he will never let you step into his house anymore!"
"Never let me step into his house anymore?" Hannah lowers her head and laughs at herself. Yeah, that is how Kendric punishes her like a slave!
