Chapter 176
Noah had to cancel his boarding and accompany Sheena to the Moore mansion.
Inside the mansion, Vanessa was pacing outside Hannah’s room. Seeing them approach, she hurriedly
came over to greet Noah with joy.
“You’ve finally arrived. Hannah was practicing walking at home and suddenly fainted. She’s still
unconscious now. I was so worried and didn’t know what to do, so I had to bother you.”
Noah’s face remained indifferent, nodding slightly before walking past Vanessa to open the door to the
room.
Sheena followed closely, also intending to see how Hannah was doing, but Vanessa stopped her.
Vanessa smiled, saying nicely, “Ms. Sheena, it’s enough for Mr. Noah to be inside. You’re not a doctor,
so going in won’t be of much help. Why not stay outside and chat with me, maybe have some fruit?”
Sheena observed, slightly frowning. Considering Vanessa’s affection for Hannah, she should be in a
frenzy over her collapse. Yet now she was cheerfully dismissing her, maintaining such a courteous

It seemed there was more to this fainting incident…
Well, during the Moore Group’s grand opening event, whether Hannah’s intentions were genuine or
not, she had tried to help her. Hence, Sheena decided to consider it as repaying the favor.
With this thought, she smiled slightly and looked at Noah ahead. “You should go in first. I’ll keep
Madam Moore company.”
Noah nodded and went into the room alone.
Vanessa caught the small exchange of glances between the two, and she was surprised. Then, she
half–jokingly asked, “Ms. Sheena, you seem to be quite close with Mr. Noah. Are you two…
Her gaze darted between them, implying something.
Sheena’s expression remained neutral as she replied, “We’re just ordinary friends.”

Vanessa seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, smiling warmly. She eagerly offered Sheena some fruit,
saying, “Friends, huh! That’s great. Ms. Sheena is lucky to have friends like Mr. Noah and Mr. Lawson!”
Sheena simply nodded in agreement, not saying anything.
Inside the room, the lighting was dim.
Hannah lay quietly on the bed. However, unlike when she was in a vegetative state before, her
complexion was noticeably healthier, and her breathing was somewhat rapid.
With just one glance, Noah instantly turned moody and said, “You’re not sick.”
Hamah felt utterly embarrassed for belog exposed so quickly. Seeing him about to leave, she hurriedly
opened her eyes, sat up in bed, and grabbed his sleeve,
“Don’t go!”
Noah did not turn around, but he did not move either.
Hannah could not see his expression, yet she could clearly sense his coldness,

Noah was angry….
Hannah’s eyes welled up with tears, panicking. All she knew was that she would not have another
chance to see him if he left.
“Noah, I know that the Moore and Lawson families are not on the same level, but I know that if I don’t
say it now, I’ll never get another chancel”
She paused and took a deep breath as if summoning courage, finally confessing to Noah, “I like you! I
really like you a lot. I know we haven’t known each other for long, and you don’t really know me, but
can you please stay and try to talk to me more? 1…”
“No.” Hannah had not finished speaking, before Noah’s cold voice cut her off. “Because I don’t like you
Hannah was heartbroken, staring at his tall figure in a daze. He was so heartless that he would not
even turn around to look at her, and she could not put her emotions into words.
Hannah knew she had deceived him by pretending to be sick, but she would never have had a chance
to confess if she had not done that.
Her eyes turned red, but she clenched her lips tightly, holding back her tears as she murmured, “Is it
because of… Sheena? Do you like her?”
