My Missing Girl

40. Hurt

Although he agreed with what Alex said, Jordan didn't fully believe it. Because for him nothing is impossible in this world. Maybe for the last ten years, he believed that Liliana had been happy in heaven, but when Jordan saw the figure of Hannah Jordan's confidence had gradually eroded. Moreover, Hannah's face was very similar to Jasmine's, which added to her confidence level. Even Jessica felt the same way.

But Jordan isn't a fool who tends to be rash about deciding things. As a result, he deploys some of his men to search about Peter's family, the family of Hannah.

Jordan is currently in his secret headquarters, where this place is the blind source of his finances. The property company he currently manages is his side business, as black market headquarters, Black Hole is Jordan's real wealth coffers.

He visited this headquarters after a long time, because after the accident a few years ago Jordan had rarely come there. For not wanting to remember the wounds he had tried to leave so that he would not dissolve into grief.

But due to his suspicions about Hannah's identity, Jordan decides to intervene directly to monitor his men who carry out their duties.

"Welcome Mr. Fast," one of his confidants greeted Jordan's arrival with great respect. Jordan patted his confidant on the shoulder, "thank you for the welcome."

"You don't have to hesitate, because it's my job."

Jordan replied with a smile, "Where's Brian?"

"Brian's in unit 275, sir."

Jordan went to that place, he was looking for Brian there. And it turned out to be true that the man was seriously staring at his computer screen. Jordan approached Brian to surprise the man a little. With a little jolt, Jordan managed to surprise Brian who was serious about his work, "Bri? Why is it so serious?" Jordan whispered in a deep voice, and his actions managed to make Brian flinch and almost fly.

"Dad? What are you doing here?" said Brian when he saw Jordan there.

"Can't I come?" Jordan responded with a joke.

"That's not what I mean, I'm just shocked because Dad came here not to tell me just yet." Jordan rubbed Brian's head with an echo,

"I just want to see your performance firsthand. Have you found the information I want?"

Brian said, "Already, I've found it, dad."

"Good, please show me." Brian gave me a file that he had made one. Where the file is a file about the identity as well as the personal life of Hannah Petter.

Jordan seriously read every sheet after sheet of paper, there was no suspicious data, other than one data that stuck according to him. That is...

"Brian? Why wasn't the old address of the Petter family listed?" Brian wiped his eyes out a few times, to digest what Jordan had just said.

"Ahh about that, I don't know either. You see, the data is no longer there, it could be that the data is lost so that when they move the new address of the old address they are not listed."

"But that's impossible, Bri. Do you know? If that address is very important when someone wants to move to a new address. The data must have been requested, Bri."

Brian said, "I don't know Dad either. When I checked it was like that, and the other strange thing was the Petter family card, they had four family members, then in his family card, there were additional new family members. I thought they had another child, but strangely in the same year his family card turned into four more members, isn't that a strange thing?"

"Are you sure?"

"yes, and strangely again Mr. peter and Mrs. Petter died five years ago in a traffic accident, but the data doesn't exist as if it was deliberately hidden. Even the accident was not used as a case on the grounds of an accident caused by a damaged car brake that hit the road barrier ─"

"Whereas based on eyewitnesses the accident occurred due to an accident between the petter family car and a large tank truck. Based on the words of witnesses I read from the news newspaper the car was hit by a large tank truck that lost its way, so the car was hit and bounced into the road barrier. But the family closed the case for the reason I mentioned earlier."

"Do you think that witness is an eyewitness? Or just the crazy thing with the profit media reaping profits. Because it is impossible if the victim's family does not sue, let alone the parents of that family if only the one who canceled the investigation was his son."

Brian dredged his shoulder again, "But the truth is it's like that, Dad. The one who dropped the case was Adam who I knew Adam was the eldest son of the Petter family. When the accident happened he lost his father and mother at once, not only that his twin sister who took part in the accident was seriously injured, and had a coma for over a year, that's the information I got. It's a little strange, but the truth is that."

Jordan massaged his nose, he was quite dispatching at the matter. It seemed like he had to believe what Alex had told her, that Hannah wasn't Liliana.

"Dad?"

"yes?"

Brian flicked his index finger and thumb when he remembered something, "but there was data I couldn't access."

"What data is that?"

"About the adopted child of the Petter family."

Hannah still can't believe Alex's explanation, as a result, sulking is her main weapon. They had already returned to Hannah's room because dinner time had arrived. Alex had persuaded him how many times Hannah would open her mouth. But the girl was still silent and did not want to take a bribe from Alex.

"Come on, Hannah. Open your mouth to eat any mouth. I don't want you to get sick." Alex persuaded Hannah with her hard work.

"I don't want to eat! If you're not honest with me." Hannah with her ripped mode.

"I'm not lying about anything, Hannah. Trust me."

Hannah shook her head, she was face down, she also turned her back on Alex. "I'm mad at you and I don't want to eat." Hannah is still in a state of the way.

Alex took a breath, then placed the plate containing the food on the nightstand located next to Hannah's hospital bed. Then Alex grabbed Hannah's hand stroking the girl's hand, he was silent shortly afterward he said something, "Are you sure you want to listen and trust me?"

Hannah nodded enthusiastically, "of course."

"Mr. Jordan is not a good person Hannah," Alex opens the story, Hannah not yet believing one hundred percent of what Alex says links her two eyebrows to express her disbelief. "Where do you know that?"

"I know because I know him ─" not finished Alex replied Hannah had rejected Alex's words, "since when did you know him?"

Alex who was a little echoed with a hurried attitude - hunt Hannah with the reason of her vague curiosity also pinched Hannah's nose with echoes, "Can I tell you everything? Please don't cut it first."

Hannah nodded and Alex told me everything. Where does he know Jordan, who Jordan is, and what kind of person he is? Alex told me everything ─ just what Hannah needed to know. Including Liliana, Alex also told me.

But when Hannah hears all of Alex's stories, some things make her disagree with Alex's opinion. Where he feels victimized by Mr. Jordan.

"Alex? Can I express my opinion?"

Alex nodded, "Of course. Say it."

"This is what I think, so please don't get angry or misunderstand," Hannah recalls before Alex thought something bad to her.

Alex held Hannah's hand tight, a real sign that she would be okay with what Hannah would tell her. "I think, it's not entirely the fault of Master Jordan blaming you for Liliana's passing. I think it's natural because Mr. Jordan is a father. I'm sure he was hurt by the loss of the daughter he loved. And about how you insisted on telling her about Liliana who was still alive but without evidence, it was also hard to understand Alex. I understand your reason for the heart, I believe the heart never lies. But you see? You don't know about Liliana yet. And what did Mr. Jordan get? It was just the pieces of dress and shoes that Liliana was wearing, so I understood how Mr. Jordan was feeling. Since I also lost both my parents, the human being I love the most left abruptly."

"But Hannah, Lili is also very precious to me." When Alex spoke like that, Hannah's deepest heart was in pain even though it wasn't very. And in her mind, she thought "am I just Alex's escape from that girl named Liliana? Liliana was Alex's, first love. "The people said that the first love was memorable and unforgettable."

"I understand Alex, but the parents' love for their child is different, so you better explain everything to Mr. Jordan so that Paiman's misunderstanding ends, if Liliana is gone, it will calm her down there. Because the two people she loves don't have this kind of thing." Hannah stroked Alex's head with an affectionate swipe.

"I'll prove to her if Lili is alive," Hannah's heart hurt when she heard Alex speaking like that. Is Alex's love for him only temporary? Pseudo-love? Love who searches for his temporary home before returning to his original home. If that's true isn't Hannah just being made an app by Alex?

Because she had it unconsciously Hannah shed her tears. Alex who realized it also cursed himself for what he just said, "Hannah, I didn't mean to."

Hannah closes Alex's lips with her index finger, interrupting Alex not to continue what he wants to say if it's just a speech to appease Hannah.

"I can't be angry, Al. Because it's purely your feeling, but can you give me some alone time?"

"Hannah?" Alex froze and couldn't say anything, because Alex was confused, he told me he didn't mean to hurt Hannah. He was just squeaking past, no other intention. Because of his love, Alex is now Hannah, but Alex also can not deny if he still has a taste for Liliana and has not been filled by Hannah. Alex knows it hurts Hannah, but Alex doesn't want Hannah to know his dark story from anyone else.

"Please leave me alone."

Alex couldn't do anything but obey Hannah's wishes.
