Regret in His Wake (Hannah and Zachary) novel Chapter 25

Hannah closed her suitcase and moved it to the door. Doris hurried over, her face full of curiosity. "Do you remember Anna?" she asked. Hannah paused, her mind drifting back to a time when Anna was still around. Anna had left with her ex-husband years ago, and Hannah hadn't thought about her since.

Doris tapped on her phone, pulling up some entertainment news and showing it to Hannah.

"Anna had a miscarriage," she said. Hannah's eyes widened in shock as she read the article. It seemed Anna had faced difficulties there. The Carter family, her ex-husband's family, wasn't pleased with her, and after some gossip and judgment, Anna had tragically fallen down the stairs. To make matters worse, there were rumors about Aiden and another woman, which had led to yet another argument between them. What happened after that was unknown.

Putting her phone away, Doris explained that since the West family had connections with the Carters, Anna had asked her to pass on an apology to Hannah. Hannah listened silently. She and Anna were never supposed to have any connection. When Hannah married Zachary, Anna was already married and living abroad. It was Zachary's indecision between them that had poisoned everything. At the end of the day, it was Zachary’s fault.

With Hannah set to move to Zion and not planning to return, her friends threw her a farewell party. Wine bottles were emptied one after another, and when the mood was still high, they decided to hit another spot—a club. Hannah, not wanting to worry Doris, opted out of the next round. After waving goodbye to her friends, she stood by the roadside, preparing to hail a cab when a car horn blared nearby.

"Hannah, get in," came a voice. She frowned, recognizing Zachary behind the wheel, and instinctively stepped back. But he seemed determined to wait her out, and the cars behind him were honking impatiently. Finally, she climbed into the back seat. Zachary remained silent, driving away. Neither of them spoke until the car rolled to a stop outside the West family home.
