When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Louis was smart enough to understand what I was trying to say.

He sighed. “I’ve thought about it, but Hannah comes from a complicated family. Her parents were drug dealers, and she’s also an ex-convict. If she marries into our family, we’ll have to announce her identity to the public. I’ll lose my job and the Stovall family’s reputation will be affected too.”

Previously, Hannah told me a bit of her past, but she didn’t go into the details. Indeed, compared to the Stovall family’s future and Louis’ career, it was best if Hannah didn’t marry into the Stovall family.

Louis was getting old, so after staying up the entire night, he felt exhausted.

He arranged for someone to wait outside the ER and went back home.
