CHAPTER 84: QUESTIONS ON THE PAST

"if that is what you want you will get it later"Hannah declared but Jason wasn't ready to listen to her ,he raised his index finger, tapping it on his lips indicating for her do it.Hannah sighed knowing if she tried to reason with him,it would be pointless.Standing on her toes she leaned in and kiss him before standing properly. Jason's lips pulled into a smile.

"are you hungry?"Hannah asked despite him mentioning a while ago that he wasn't,she still decided to ask"I could eat you"he replied thoughtfully, before he frees her from his hold "I'll eat then "with that she quickly escaped to the kitchen. Jason's eyes travelled around the house and he was about to follow her when the door bell rang. He walked towards the door,and without a second thought he pulled the door open and he stared at the figures before him.

Lucy stared at him with a look of surprise wondering what he was doing here and mia on the other hand wasn't expecting this. She didn't know Jason wasn't at the mansion and now that he is here ,he had come to see Hannah.

"what are you doing here?"Lucy questioned glancing behind him before taking a step forward pushing him aside so she could enter.Jason stared at her back before hai gaze shifted to mia and he said "how was your sleep sister-in-law? I wasn't expecting you here"

"I can say the same "mia simply said with a smile and when she proceeded to walk in,Jason made way for her before closing the door. But it didn't seem like he was going to get some peace as Lucy questioned "why are you here? as far as I know you don't have any business with Hannah" all she wanted was an explanation from her cousin who always seems to be up to something.

"and that is where you are wrong,I do have business with,there is no rule against me coming here"as Jason said this ,his hand reached up to ruffle Lucy's hair who quickly slapped his hand of "i think there should be...this isn't the first time you are here is it? Lucy said as realization hits her accompanied by a confused expression.

Mia on the other hand, didn't bother to say or Interfere as she didn't want to get involved but she looked around wondering where Hannah went or if she's even home

"what business do you have with her?"Lucy questioned with curiosity somewhere the volume of her voice had lowered it it didn't change the look she directed at Jason who replied asked her back"do you really want to know?"

At that moment Hannah walked into the scene,her eyes taking in the people in the room. Jason and Lucy arguing and mia who stood a distance from them she she leaned against the armrest of the couch.She was in the kitchen when she heard their voices.

Lucy who noticed her sighed and she said to Jason "I'm not done talking you yet" then to Hannah she said "he didn't do anything to you did he?,it's alright you can tell me if he's done you anything".

"I didn't do anything,I can't believe you would come up with that "Jason walked towards Hannah standing behind her before wrapping his arms around her waist and kissed her on the side of the cheek. This action alone was enough to have Hannah turn red as she didn't expect Jason to do this "this is the business I have with her"he said with a grin.

Lucy wore a star struck expression where she felt there were no words to describe how she felt at the moment "you two are ..."she left the sentence hanging. Mia stood there looking between the couple and Lucy and she tried not to smile at the scene on front of her.

"yes"Hannah was the one to answer with smile plastered on her face. But the expression on Lucy's face changed as she said,her words directed at Jason "you could have just told me that"

"now you know"came Jason's reply.

Lucy said to Hannah"I hope he is taking of you well, Jason can be something else"she paused for a while "I am happy for you it won't stop me from me from fighting with him" at this Hannah smiled then nodded

Away from the vicinity,a car drove into the compound of a mansion where it drove around the fountain before coming to a halt. Ryan stepped out of the car , staring at the mansion that continued to stand tall. He proceeded inside,the double doors already opened for him to walk in without trouble. The mansion was bigger than the one he lived in,it was one that he spent his childhood. He walked up the stairs,his shoes clicking against the floor, taking a turn,he walked along the corridor and after a while he noticed the man he had came here to see.

At the other side sat his grandfather who was enjoying the view of the garden as it was soothing. He relaxed against his seat when he felt someone's presence, shifting his gaze to his right noticing his grandson who approach him.

"I have not been gone that long for you to visit this early unless you have something important to tell me I'll assume it's because you miss this old man of yours"grandpa said with a small smile gracing his lips.He knew ryan wasn't going to visit this soon and it got home by surprise and he could tell the boy wanted to discuss something important,was it regarding Charles. He would have to hear it from Ryan himself.

When Ryan reached him,the stretched forward the file in his hand and said with evident anger in his voice "you knew about this, didn't you?".

The old man stared at the file before taking it,as the front read THE FLORES HOSPITAL. He flipped the file open his wise eyes scanning through it and he replied "yes and it was only because I needed to check the background of..."he wasn't able to complete his sentence when Ryan interrupted him by saying"the hospital got burned down four years ago ,most of the files got burnt to ashes and there are barely any left there is no way for you to know about this only months ago and as far as I know mia wouldn't tell anyone about her past that easily" she didn't even tell him. It was evident rya was angry and he glared at his grandfather who say there unfazed.

"what are you trying to imply?"the old man questioned

"before the hospital got burnt I had arranged for this "Ryan said referring to file that his grandfather left "if you check now ,you won't find any of this as they are destroyed...but I found a copy in your room". When his grandfather was about to leave there were a few things he decided to leave behind which included the extra copy of the hospital record,and the old man had been careless but the truth was he had always known about mia just as long as he had known her.

"it seems I forgot to take that along"as he said this ,he wondered if he should curse his memory for it"I wasn't expecting you to find out this soon but the I should have,if you want to know how long I have known this then you can say before we left the city"

"you knew but yet didn't offer your help"Ryan said angrily,his jaw clenched in anger he the asked "were our family association with each other, business or not you have to answer" he wasn't ready to be kept in the dark

Grandpa sighed shifting his gaze back to the garden"we had a few contracts and partnership that went well, every project was completed and there's nothing more "
