Chapter 1338
Hanna hesitated for a moment and then walked into the elevator. Calvin followed her and helped her press the button.
But when the elevator’s door was closed, Hanna’s body suddenly became stiff and her face turned pale.
“Can… Can I hold your hand?” Hanna said arduously. At this moment, she really wanted to hold something warm so that she could stop thinking about the terrifying scenes that happened today and before.

Calvin looked at the woman in front of him with a pale face and round eyes, which seemed to be full of moisture. There was fear and longing in her dark pupils.
Calvin thought, “What’s she longing for? Does she want to hold my hand?”
Since Calvin fell in love with Rosalie, he hated the touch of other women. Even if he took the initiative to touch Hanna, he was just acting in front of Rosalie.
At this moment, Calvin didn’t need to act so he could refuse.
But the fear and longing in Hanna’s eyes reminded Calvin about himself when he was a child. When he almost fell off the cliff, his eyes were also filled with fear and longing.
He was afraid that he would really fall off the cliff, and he really ho that someone could pull him up.
At that time, it was Rosalie who reached out her hand and saved Cal
“Sure,” Calvin slowly said. Then he reached out his right hand to Hann
Hanna held Calvin’s hand tightly with her trembling hand as if she was holding a floating log.
When the temperature in Calvin’s hand was transmitted to Hanna, the fear in her heart gradually disappeared.
The elevator soon stopped and the door was opened. Hanna and Calvin came to Hanna’s apartment. She took out the key and opened the door, while her left hand was holding Calvin’s right hand tightly all the time.
“Aren’t you gonna get in?” Calvin looked at Hanna who had been standing at the door and asked.
Hanna bit her lower lip and held Calvin’s right hand a little tighter unconsciously.
“I’ll stay with you for a while. You need to calm down now,” said Calvin. Then he took the lead and walked into the room with Hanna.
“Sorry, I know that I’m in a weird condition now. I just… I just…” Hanna murmured.
“You’re scared,” Calvin helped her finish her words. “I was careless today. Sorry for letting you have such an experience. It won’t happen again.”
“It’s not your fault. It’s those people’s fault. I’m already very grateful for you saving me,” Hanna hurriedly said.
“Why did you call the police before? Even if the police came, it would probably be too late. Wouldn’t it be quicker if you called me?” Calvin asked. If he hadn’t heard a guest saying that the corridor to the restroom was blocked by some people and rushed over with suspicion, Hanna would have been hurt badly by those people.
Hanna said awkwardly, “I… I thought even if I called you, you were alone, and there were so many of them. Maybe I would also get you in trouble. So I thought I would just call the police to have a shot. Well… I didn’t expect you to be so good at fighting. They were all no match for you at all!”
Calvin stared at Hanna. “But have you ever thought that the trouble yo were in was brought by me? Even if I got in trouble with you, I deserve it. Don’t you think so?”
Hanna blinked. “But if we were really gonna be beaten up, only one being beaten was better than both of us being beaten.”
Calvin laughed. He thought, “Is she kind or silly? But… this kind of person is really rare.”
“I’ll get you a glass of warm water. You can have some to calm down,” Calvin got up and said.
“I’ll do it myself,” Hanna hurriedly said.
“Just sit here. If you go to pour the water, the water might be spilled out because of your trembling hands,” said Calvin.
Hanna looked at her slightly trembling hand and didn’t insist.
Seeing Calvin walk into the kitchen, Hanna smiled bitterly and then leaned against the armrest on one side of the sofa.
Hanna thought that the nightmare in college had all passed, but she didn’t expect… that it kept hiding in the deep of her mind. As long as she encountered similar situations, it would be easy to bring out all the traumas of the past.
Hanna stared at her left hand in a daze. The moment she held Calvin’s hand, she became less scared. Just like today, when she was desperate, Calvin showed up and saved her.
Hanna thought, “It turns out that having someone to save me feels so good.”
At this moment, this apartment also became warmer because of the existence of another person.
Because Hanna’s fear was gradually dissipating, the alcohol from the previous drink seemed to be slowly taking effect. Hanna couldn’t help but close her eyes…
When Calvin walked out of the kitchen with warm water, he saw Hanna was already asleep on the sofa.
Calvin put the cup aside and looked at the woman who slightly tilted her head and curled up. Hanna’s pale face and messy hair showed what happened to her today.
Calvin pondered for a moment, and then he bent down, carried Hanna up gently, and walked towards her bedroom.
Calvin carefully put Hanna on the bed in the bedroom and covered her with a thin quilt. When he was about to turn around and leave, Hanna suddenly whispered, “No… Scared… I’m scared… Dad, Mom… I-I’m scared… Help me…”
Hanna’s whisper was full of pain.
Calvin turned around and saw that Hanna’s eyes were still closed.
Obviously, she was still asleep and didn’t wake up. But her pale face, frowned eyebrows, and her head that shook from time to time all showed that she seemed to be trying to get rid of a nightmare.
Calvin thought, “What is she dreaming about? She’s calling out to her parents. As far as I know, her parents passed away when she was very young. Now she’s sobbing in her dream as if she’s abandoned.”
Calvin’s eyes narrowed. He thought, “Being abandoned? I’m also abandoned by someone.”
Calvin bent down, gently pressed his palm against Hanna’s forehead, and then said calmly, “Don’t be scared. You’re safe now.”
Hanna seemed to have heard Calvin’s words in her dream. The anxiety on her face slowly faded, and she gradually stopped sobbing.
“It’s okay now. Don’t be scared…” Calvin kept saying that, as if it was just to make Hanna sleep at ease.
