The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 1418

Hanna kept shouting, “No! Don’t! Don’t die! Don’t die!”.

The next moment, Hanna was held in warm arms.

Hanna heard a familiar voice. “Sorry, I didn’t know you would be so terrified. I’m sorry!”

Hanna thought, “Who is hugging her? Mom?!”

She heard the familiar again. “Hanna, don’t be afraid. I am with you. Nothing bad will happen. Don’t be afraid… Don’t be afraid…” The voice kept ringing in her ears, slowly making her body softened.

Hanna raised her head in a daze and saw a handsome face.

But at that moment, Hanna no longer saw the usual indifference on that face, but concern.

Hanna thought, “It’s Calvin!”

She just stared at him blankly. She wondered who Calvin was worried about.

Calvin anxiously said, “Hanna?! Hanna!” He wanted to take Hanna to the Great Valley at first, hoping that she could get over it. He never expect that she would react so wildly on the way there.

Calvin rarely regretted his decisions but at that moment he did. If he hadn’t insisted on taking her to the Great Valley, she wouldn’t have reacted like this.

Hanna looked like a fragile porcelain that would be completely broken with the slightest touch. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Hanna murmured as if she was exerting all her strength, “Calvin.”

Calvin apologized and held Hanna in his arms, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought you here.”

Hanna buried her face in his arms, with her shoulders trembling slightly and a muffled choking moan.

Calvin wondered whether she was trying hard to hold back her tears because she knew her parents wouldn’t want her to cry but laugh.

Thinking about what she said in front of her parents’ tombs, he couldn’t help but feel a pain in his heart.

Calvin said, “If you want to cry, keep crying. You don’t need to control your emotions though your parents would only want your smile. But in front of me, you can cry.” Though Hanna’s tears only made him feel helpless, he didn’t want to see her in pain, controlling her emotions so hard.

Calvin’s voice was like an open dam that had been withstanding the rushing floodwaters. Hanna’s tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

This time, she cried loudly. She needed a way to express all her regrets and sadness that she had suppressed for so many years.

Calvin gently stroked her head to comfort her. This time, Hanna felt slightly different from what she felt when they were in front of her parents’ tombs.

Calvin felt the clothes on his chest wet.

Hanna’s cry and her hoarse shout resounded through the car. She was shouting her parents’ names and expressing how sad she was. Calvin felt helpless because he couldn’t do anything for her besides comfort and listen to her.

Though Calvin had great power and a lot of money, he still felt weak sometimes.

He felt helpless like he did when knowing that he couldn’t be with he though he loved her very much. He felt helpless because he could not undo what had already happened to Hanna’s parents.

After crying for a while, Hanna finally calmed down. The crying and screaming just now made her exhausted. Though tears had stopped running down from her eyes, she couldn’t stop sobbing.

Calvin drew out a tissue and wiped the tears on Hanna’s face. “I really didn’t know you would be so terrified. I was too presumptuous. Let me take you back.”

After wiping off her tears, Calvin started the car, ready to turn the car around,

“Stop,” Hanna pressed her hand on the back of Calvin’s hand on the gear lever, took a deep breath, and looked straight ahead. “I want to go to the Great Valley.” She wanted to finish that unfinished trip.

Hanna had never dared to come here before, which probably meant that she had never gotten over it.

Hanna knew that Calvin wanted to stop her from being haunted by it. She decided to do so too.

Hanna knew that her parents would want her to be happier too.

Calvin stared at Hanna’s red and swollen eyes. “Do you really want to go there?”

Hanna said, “Yes, I’m going there. I want to see the Great Valley, for my parents.”

Calvin hesitated for a while and said, “Okay.”

Then the car continued to drive toward the Great Valley.

When they finally arrived at their destination, Hanna, looking at the flowing stream and the green trees among the mountains, breathed a sigh of relief.

Hanna finally arrived at the Great Valley though more than ten years late. If that accident hadn’t happened, she and her parents would have spent a very happy day there.

Calvin asked, “Do you want to go down there for a walk?”

Hanna nodded. “Yeah.”

After they got out of the car, Hanna and Calvin walked along the path to the stream. There were many huge stones in different and natural shapes along the way. The stream was extremely clear. Even though it wasn’t a weekend or holiday, there were many tourists.

The stream was shallow and some parts of it were only ankle high above the riverbed. The temperature was just pleasant so many tourists took off their shoes and stepped into the stream to have fun.

Hanna looked at the clear water and remembered her mother telling her how much fun they would have at the Great Valley and she would play with her in the stream.

“I want to go into the water.” Hanna suddenly turned to Calvin and said, “Will you wait for me?”

Calvin said, “Okay.” He thought it was not dangerous to play in that stream.

Hanna took off her shoes and socks, bent down to roll up her pants, and then walked into the stream barefoot. The cool water swirled around her feet and made her feel refreshed.

Looking at the mountains, the green trees, and the clear water, Hanna found the air fresh and her mood gradually lightened.

Hanna walked slowly in the stream and thought the smooth cobbles under her feet were like giving her a soft massage.

She heard laughter from the tourists, including some couples and families.

Suddenly, Hanna noticed a little girl not far from her. Next to the little girl were her parents. Occasionally, small fish swam along the stream and passed by them. The three of them were happily

catching the fish. After a while, the little girl seemed tired so the father raised the little girl high and put her on his shoulders.
