Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1216

Hendrick looked reassured. He’d been worried that Fabian would demand something preposterous from them. This request perfectly aligned with the Youngs’ desire to protect their daughter from trouble, after all. They were all looking out for Hannah, in their own says.

“No problem, no problem. If that’s the case, we won’t mention it at all,” Hendrick declared.

“Don’t even mention it to the Blackwoods,” Fabian warned.

“Even the Blackwoods?” Hendrick was astounded. “They’re Hannah’s family, after all. It wouldn’t hurt, would it?”

“The Blackwoods are a big family, and it’ll be hard to ensure that the secret stays within them. I’m afraid that if we tell them, the entire industry will find out about it,” Fabian replied mildly.

Hendrick pondered, then nodded reluctantly. He couldn’t see why the Blackwoods would sabotage Hannah in any way, being one of their own. However, Hendrick trusted his newly-minted son-in-law, deciding that it would be better to avoid the probability altogether.

“I’ll be damned!” Jason suddenly yelled. The Youngs had nearly forgotten about him amidst their more pressing matters. Curiosity had gotten the better of Jason, and he couldn’t resist peeking at the third document. In doing so, he’d gotten way more than he bargained for.

The third document, in fact, was a certificate presented to Hannah from a charity organization. Inscribed upon it were these words, In recognition of Ms. Hannah Young for her donation of 15.5 million to the needy students of the Gablurg Tribe.

Wait! There’s more? Jason hastily turned it over.

At the back of the certificate, someone had penned a thanksgiving note. Thank you, Ms. Hannah Young, for contributing 15.5 million to the education fund of fifty high schools in Horbah. Our administrative blocks will be named after you.

“Oh, there’s nothing else. Go ahead and focus on your work. Don’t worry about Hannah. I’ll be heading over along with her mother to take care of her,” Hendrick replied hurriedly, gesturing to himself and Gillian.

“Her mother? Aren’t I Fabian’s mother now, too?” Gillian teased, rolling her eyes at Hendrick dramatically.

Feeling the welcoming warmth of the Young family, Fabian couldn’t help but break out into a wide smile. “That’s right, Mom! Haha!”

“Uncle Hendrick, Aunt Gillian, why don’t both of you rest here for now? I’m heading out for a while, but I’ll be back to visit Hannah in the afternoon. I’ll drive by to pick the two of you up then,” Jason proposed as he, too, stood up to follow Fabian out of the villa.

Seeing Jason tag along with him, Fabian couldn’t help but stifle a chuckle in amusement. Jason had always followed Fabian around and must have been hoping to join in whatever Fabian was going to the office to do. Fabian was used to it, however, and said nothing.
