The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1063

Hannah shrugged.

“Just asking, that’s all.

”

Winston’s tone was icy.

“Doesn’t seem Like just a casual question to me.

What’s the deal? Need help? Maybe I can figure out another way for you.

”

Hannah met his gaze.

“Other than jumping overboard, how else can we get off this ship without getting caught?”

“They could disguise themself and leave with us.

Stick with us and no one will question you.

But…”

Winston hesitated.

“I noticed your friend earlier, carrying anti-inflammatories.

Creams, pills… yet he doesn’t look hurt.

Is someone else injured?”

Winston squinted, thinking fast.

“When we got on in Newfort, was that ruckus outside caused by him too? They were checking for injuries, right? And today’s trouble with Rodrigo wasn’t just coincidence.

”

Hannah smiled, impressed.

“You’re sharp.

No wonder you work for my so-called father.

”

“Who are they?” Winston pressed.

“You don’t need to know.

They won’t mess up our plan,” Hannah assured him.

“I’ve got to get them off this ship in seven days.

”

Winston’s gaze was icy.

“Who are they? Why would you risk it? Even with the Compton family name, Rodrigo’s no easy mark if they catch us.

”

Hannah shot back, “That’s not your concern.

Just tell me, can you help me or not?”

“Alright, I’ll do it,” Winston finally agreed, nodding.

Later, Hannah met with Rocco.

“Rocco, what’s been going on since you got to Newfort?”

Rocco, now calmer, nodded at Hannah.

“I got you some info from that address you gave me.

Then, I sneaked into Bryson Mitchell’s hospital to grab his medical records.

All seemed well when I first arrived.

But then, I discovered he was mixed up with a gang called Wolf Gang back in college.

He was funding them, so I dug deeper.

”

He paused, touching his knees.

“I never imagined it’d be my wheelchair that blew my cover.

They wanted to kill me right there.

But since I couldn’t move, and posed no threat, they stuck me on this ship to trade for organs.

”

Rocco looked up at Hannah.

“I was bracing myself to never see you again.

I had lost all hope until someone saved me from those traffickers on the ship!”
