Stepladder 7

Ryan walked with Jackson while chatting. Hannah didn't know what the two were talking about, but Ryan looked more cheerful because he laughed with Jackson. Hannah noticed Ryan's face looked calmer after he left Jackson's room.

Jackson glanced at Hannah, who was already standing at the end of the stairs. Hannah's eyes looked worriedly at Ryan. "Nothing to worry about, baby girl," Jackson said to Hannah.

Hannah's eyes widened as she looked at Jackson. "You talking to me?"

"Of course. You still look worried. Or do you also want a one-on-one session with me?" asked Jackson.

Hannah hastily shook her head. "Nope. Thank you."

"Then smile. Smiling keeps people young," Jackson said.

"Drinking blood also keeps you young," said Hannah.

Jackson laughed at Hannah's words. She then glanced at Ryan, who was standing next to her. "Where did you find this woman? I like the way he talks rudely."
