His Dangerous Love

Chapter 30 What Happened Back Then

Chapter 30 What Happened Back Then

Hector tilted his eyes and asked, "You've asked so many questions, which one do you want me to answer first?"

His voice hadn't fully recovered, sounding a bit hoarse. But to Elianna's ears, it was more pleasant than heavenly music.

She wanted to smile at Hector, but as her lips curled up, tears started to fall.

"If you want to cry, go ahead. You don't have to hold back in front of me."

It had been so long since anyone cared about her that a single sentence shattered her emotional defenses, and she collapsed on the bed, crying uncontrollably.

Hector didn't say anything, but he gently stroked her head with the hand that had the pulse oximeter attached until she calmed down.

After a long while, Elianna wiped away her tears and told him about the situation outside.

She pretended to be relaxed and didn't mention the torture inflicted by the Gentry family. She felt fortunate and said, "Now that we're in Oakpool, we can start a new life. Brother, now that you're awake, our family will become better and better."

Looking at her strained smile, Hector just smiled back.

The people in this sanatorium seemed to be taking care of them, but in reality, they were monitoring them.

Moreover, he understood her. He knew that once he woke up, she would be longing to be by his side.

Dragging the situation until now meant she had lost her freedom.

Hector didn't expose Elianna. He raised his hand and gently pushed aside the stray hairs on her temples.

"You've become thinner."

Elianna's nose felt sour, and with a nasal voice that sounded like she was being spoiled, she said, "You're the same."

"Yes, now I'm really ugly. Anna must be disgusted with me now."

Coincidentally, her nickname was Anna.

Perhaps, it was destined that she would become Elianna.

Elianna knew that Hector was teasing her deliberately and pouted, "Being a little uglier is fine. Every time you perform in a concert, there will be a bunch of young girls falling in love with the conductor. So in the future, when you hold concerts again..."

Her voice abruptly stopped.

The car accident had destroyed Hector's right arm. Perhaps he would never be able to play the violin or hold a concert again.

At the age of eight, Hector was invited to perform at Fairton Golden Hall, and he was an undisputed prodigy.

No words of praise were excessive for him, but it was this kind of person who had been ruined by a car accident.

Elianna's face turned pale, and she dared not look into Hector's eyes.

"Anna, don't worry. I'm fine."

Hector gently lifted Elianna's head and said, "It's true."

Elianna's eyes started to well up with tears again, and she sobbed, "How can it be okay? You could have, you..."

Hector held her face and smiled as he wiped away her tears.

"When have I ever lied to you? I'm telling the truth. That day, I thought I was going to die and would never see you again. But now, not only am I alive, but I can also talk to you. Isn't that great?"

As he spoke about that day, Elianna's expression became solemn.

"What happened back then? Why did our dad... jump off the building?"

Hector was silent.

Upon hearing this, Hector's expression became somewhat dazed, and his thoughts traveled back to the past.

At that time, the Stone family had not yet been embroiled in that scandal and was still regarded as a prestigious musical family. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

It was only two years ago when their father, the renowned musician Zack Stone, was accused of sexually assaulting multiple students.

Zack jumped off the building, and in his last moments, Hector was by his side.

But instead of reporting it to the authorities, Hector left the scene.

On his way, his car collided with a truck that had a brake failure.

He miraculously survived, but he had been in a coma ever since.

Seeing Hector's silence, Elianna grew anxious, "Brother, please say something."

Elianna had so many questions, and she couldn't believe that Zack would do such a thing.

Moreover, several of the students who accused Zack were not Hector's students.

Zack had extremely strict criteria for accepting students, not only requiring talent but also diligence.

Only a handful of students could truly be considered his students.

Mia Gibson was one of them.
