The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1985

“ALL right, get him there quickly,” Hannah said to Maloney and winked.

Once Maloney and Peterson were at a distance, Leif said to Hannah, “You’d be better off with me than hanging around Maloney!”

Hannah turned to Leif with a playful smile and asked, “Mr.

Pierce, don’t you have a mirror at home?”

Leif looked puzzled.

“Of course there’s a mirror.

What are you getting at?”

“Take a good look at yourself in the mirror and see how you measure up to Maloney,” she replied with a smirk.

Hannah ignored him and left.

Hannah’s teasing remark only piqued Leif’s interest, and he found himself eagerly following her.

“That’s because you don’t know me yet,” Leif said, catching up to her.

“If you did, you’d see I’m far better than Maloney!”

Hannah glanced at him with a hint of amusement and then turned away, as if his words were nothing more than idle chatter.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Peterson’s condition was a bit worrying.

“Your ankle is broken and needs a cast,” said the doctor, looking at the CT report.

“Fortunately, there is no displacement, so surgery isn’t necessary at this point.”

The doctor then turned to Maloney, who was standing nearby, and said, “You’re his family, correct? Please proceed with the hospitalization procedures for him.”

“I don’t want to be hospitalized,” Peterson rebutted.

“I’ll be discharged from the hospital once the cast is on.”

The doctor frowned.

“I’m afraid…”

“I have a specialist who’s handling the treatment.

All you need to do is prescribe the medication.

The rest is not your concern.”

Upon hearing Peterson’s statement, the doctor turned to Maloney, hoping he could persuade Peterson to reconsider.

Maloney folded his arms and leaned aside.

“Follow his instructions.

If anything goes wrong, he won’t hold you accountable.

The Lyons family is influential, so they won’t to resort to blackmailing your hospital.”

“Alright, I’ll prescribe the medication now.

You can wait in the consulting room next door.”

Once the plaster cast was complete, Maloney collected the medication and wheeled a wheelchair out of the hospital.

He then carefully helped Peterson into the car before driving off, heading back home.

Sitting in the back seat, Peterson remained silent for a moment before suddenly asking, “Do you really like Hannah?”

Maloney was caught off guard by Peterson’s sudden question, whether he Liked Hannah or not.

Maloney glanced at Peterson through the rearview mirror and asked, “Why do you want to know?”

Through the rearview mirror, Maloney noticed a faint smile on Peterson’s face.

“I’m just curious.

Isn’t it difficult to answer that question?”
