Chapter 139 What's Your Relationship With Jefferson

Elianna was inclined towards the latter.

She hoped that Brett had lied to her in order to exploit her value.

But if it wasn't true...

She didn't dare to think further.

On the way to Palatial Residence, Elianna's heart was filled with anxiety. As soon as she arrived, she headed straight to Hector's room.

To her disappointment, he wasn't there. She asked around and found out that he had moved to another room.

Seeing Elianna come in, Hector put down the book he was reading and smiled at her.

"Anna, you're back."

He didn't ask why she hadn't come for so long, nor did he question her urgency. It felt like an ordinary one from the countless days they had spent together at home.

After this period of treatment, all the pipes on Hector's body were removed. Although he was still thin, his face had regained its former handsomeness. His smile was as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Hector."

Elianna hurried over, trying to hug him but afraid of hurting him.

Hector sensed her hesitation and opened his arms to her. "Although I'm weak now, I still have the strength to hug you."

After two years, Elianna was finally held in Hector's arms again. She cherished the warmth and didn't want to let go.

Hector didn't move either. He always carried Elianna around when they were young, and that habit hadn't changed as they grew up. But the overly intimate embrace was no longer appropriate. He mostly let her rest her head on his shoulder or lap while she told him amusing stories from school.

He gently touched her hair. "Tell me, what's the matter that made you so eager to find me?"

......

After a moment, Hector furrowed. "Are you telling me that you encountered Brett and he recognized you?"

"Yes, but it's all resolved now. I'm fine. But..."

Elianna looked at Hector, her tone unintentionally tense. "Hector, have you heard of Jefferson before in Elfold?"

"Uh-huh."

Hector nodded. "What about him?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask if you know what his relationship with Mia is."

Hector was surprised by her curiosity about this matter, but he answered, "I heard that they were engaged."

Elianna was shocked.

The sound in her ears suddenly faded away. She felt her throat was blocked, and her mouth was dry, unable to utter a word.

"Anna, you look so pale. What's wrong with you?"

Elianna regained her composure and spoke in a dry voice, "I'm fine. Then are they in a good relationship?"

"I'm not sure about that. Mia is introverted and hardly speaks. Although we collaborated in a concert, we hardly had any communication."

"I see..."

The disappointment in Elianna's eyes was so evident that Hector could sense it.

"Anna, tell me the truth. What is your relationship with Jefferson?"

"Huh?"

Elianna's gaze shifted. "What are you talking about, Hector? He is my fiance's brother. What kind of relationship could we have?"

Hector wasn't fooled. His tone became slightly serious, "You just said that Jefferson helped you deal with Brett. But as far as I know, Mr. Larsen doesn't care about anyone. Why would he help you for no reason?"

Faced with Hector's questioning, Elianna panicked and pleaded, "Hector, please don't ask anymore. I know what I'm doing."

"Anna, it's already a miracle that our family survived. I'm worried that you'll bring trouble upon yourself. Jefferson is a tough man. Don't have any involvement with him. Otherwise, sooner or later,Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

he'll find out your identity. Aren't you afraid?"

Elianna's small hope was shattered by Hector's words, and her heart sank.

Now Jefferson had started suspecting her.

Although she was now identified as the daughter of the Gentry family, once he found out that there was someone in Elfold who looked exactly like her, everything would be exposed.

Her existence...

Elianna suddenly thought of another woman. "By the way, Hector, do you know Sophia Larsen?"

Hector showed a reminiscing expression, pondered for a moment, and then answered, "Are you referring to Ms. Larsen?"

Elianna was taken aback. "Hector, you know her?"
