Hannah climbed back to her bedroom using the rope ladder. She tucked it away under her bed. After washing up, she was already sleepy when lying in bed. Her phone rang. She saw an unknown number. Thus, she turned off her phone directly and went to sleep.
The following day, Hannah busied herself. After uploading the makeup video, she remembered her phone. There were five missed calls.
The strange number looked familiar. Hannah was afraid that it was from the funeral parlor, so she called back.
A cold male voice greeted her from the other end of the line, saying, “Hello?”
It was Wallace. His voice was very recognizable. It sounded cold even from the phone.
Hannah quickly hung up and blocked him. Thinking of what happened last night, she was still angry.
Then she remembered the escort she had forgotten. She seemed to have added him on WhatsApp last night, so she opened her phone and saw two messages from the boy.
Liam: [Hannah, are you there?]
Another system notification read: [You have received 1,990 dollars from Liam.]
annah frowned and replied: [Yes. Are you free at 2 p.m.?]
Liam replied immediately: [Yes!]
Hannah sent him the address of her regular cafe. It was almost 1pm., so she prepared and informed Felicity before driving to the cafe.
The café was near Raven Group’s building. When Hannah arrived, Liam was already there. He sat restlessly and looked around with his big eyes.
When he saw Hannah, his big eyes lit up in an instant. “Hannah Liam stood up quickly.
He amused Hannah. “Sit, this isn’t military training.”
After they sat down, Hannah shook her phone and asked, “Why did you return the accommodation fee I gave you?”
“I found a motel. It’s 20 dollars per night, and I have 10 dollars, Liam explained in a low voice. “Thank you, Hannah.”
Hannah frowned. Quadfield developed quickly and was a first–tier city in the country. She didn’t expect that there would be a 20–dollar–per–night motel there.
It was dark last night, so she didn’t see him clearly. Under the bright sun, Liam’s handsome features glowed. He had short curly hair, bright eyes, a high nose, and thin lips, which added some sharpness to his originally harmless temperament. When he stood just now, he was probably around six feet three ches. His only shortcoming was that he was too thin.
Hannah still remembered his words from last night. She asked, ou said yesterday that you did that job for your brother? Tell me in detail.”
Lowering his head, Liam told her about his family situation.

Hannah thought she was cruel and heartless, but she felt pity after listening to him.

The Knox family used to be well–educated, but their parents died early. Liam’s brother worked while studying and had just become a professor at Quadfield University. However, he suddenly tried to take his own life and jumped from the Bloor. Although he was still alive, he was in a vegetative state. He had to rely on medical equipment to survive. The cost of staying in the ICU ward was at least a few hundred dollars.
Liam was still in his junior year. He sold
die Knox family’s properties but was still at his wits end. Thus, he became a male escort following his classmate’s suggestion.
After Hannah listened to his story, she contemplated and said, “Did the hospital mention where he was hurt?” Someone in a vegetative state usually has their brain injured.
Liam looked down and said sadly. “They say there’s extravasated blood in his brain. The future is uncertain. Maybe he would have brain death, but he could also wake up. It’s hard to say now.
Hannah got the gist and scanned Liam with her eyes. “Your major is photography, right? Do you want to work while studying?”
Liam clenched his fists secretly and summoned the courage to ask, “Hannah, are you going to be my sugar mommy!”
Hannah’s eyelids twitched. “I don’t plan to for the time being.”
Liam was relieved, but at the same time, he felt somewhat despondent. “Then what do you mean by working while studying?”
Hannah opened her YouTube account on her phone and said, “Te been doing makeup videos recently. I have several accounts, but I don’t know anything about photography. Sometimes the lighting is not good, and it can’t show the effect well. Would you like to be my assistant?”
“Yes!” Liam nodded firmly.
“Won’t you ask about your salary?” Hannah was amused.
Liam said. “You are a good person. I believe you!
Hannah’s eyes darkened. “You’re too naive. Anyway, you agreed, so come to my house tomorrow. The probation period is three days. I’ll cover your brother’s medical expenses and give you 600 dollars per month as living expenses.”
Liam was stunned, and he nodded excitedly. Then he bit his lips and shook his head. “My brother’s medical fee is a few hundred dollars a day-
“I know,” she interrupted.
Liam explained, “You don’t need that much to hire a professional photographer.”
“Liam, everyone has their downtime. When you feel hopeless, you should grab any strand of hope. This isn’t the time to be considerate. If you think I give you too much, when your brothe recovers, you can be my free labor for a few years.” Hannah smiled tenderly,
Liam clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, “Okay Hannah gave him hope, so he was willing to work for her for free forever once his brother recovered, let alone for a few years.
After chatting with Liam for a while, Hannah gave him 20,000 dollars in advance for the hospital bills. She also sent him the Raven residence’s address. She also asked for Liam’s brother’s ward number.

“Then I go to class now, Hannah. 111 be there on time tomorrow. Liam stood up. He had classes in the afternoon.
Hannah waved her hand while smiling. “Bye.”
After Liam left, Hannah sat alone in the cafe. She grabbed her phone, quickly typed, and entered another system. Hannah contacted Quadfield First Hospital’s director, Walter Mayfield, quickly.
Sienna: [Dr. Mayfield, I heard about a patient named Dennis Krix at your hospital. I want to see his medical record1
Walter replied quickly: [Dr. Harlan, I’ll send it to you right away! And uhlimm. Dr. Harlan, have you been free recently? We have many new doctors who graduated abroad. Do you have time to give a speech?
Hannah typed: [Another time. I’m busy,]
Walter soon sent Dennis‘ medical record along with a jaded–looking emoji: [You must be busy with some confidential medical research. I understandd.]
Hannah was stunned. She was doing makeup. But now that Walter had given her an excuse, she went along with it and checked Dennis‘ medical record.
Dennis‘ situation was troublesome, but not excessively so.
Hannah gained understanding, closed the medical record, and switched back to her original system.
