Chapter 1044 Wake Up

Theodore walked out of the ward, leaving only Besse and Oscar in there. Suddenly, there was a suffocating silence. Besse looked at Oscar's injuries and saw how weak he was as if he might not exist in the next second.

Finally, she spoke: "Theodore asked me to come see you."

She couldn't lie to him. Even if she wanted to be insincere, her emotions wouldn't allow it.

"I'm grateful for your rescue this time. Doyle is fine and I'm fine."

It was as if she were talking to an insignificant person, not even acknowledging him as her saviour.

"I never thought you would die or get hurt so badly trying to save me. I didn't even think about what would happen if you became like this... As a Commander of your country and a father of two children, don't you have any responsibility for your own life? Have you thought about Northfield? If you die, who will manage it? Theodore? Manuel? Or Salem? Or will Northfield fall into someone else's hands again?" Besse's words were icy-cold. Her demeanour matched them perfectly.

"As a leader and father, Oscar, you don't have the right to just die like this! If you die..."

Besse paused for a second before continuing with hidden restraint that could still be heard through her words. But Theodore outside the room couldn't hear that.

All he saw was a callous woman. Oscar had saved both her and her fiancé. If he were her, he would have submitted to him as his lover, Theodore thought to himself.

This woman was colder than anyone he had ever met before, even more so than Hannah back then. Theodore clenched his fists tightly while thinking about it all. He could have walked into the ward and given her a beating.

Besse fell silent for a few seconds and finished her words, "If you die, then how could I hate you?"

She hated him.

The room fell into silence again. She was looking at Oscar coldly.

Theodore stood outside the hospital room and did not actively ask Besse to leave. Even if she did nothing, he still wanted her to accompany Oscar. Even if Oscar couldn't make it through tonight. At least,

Besse accompanied him as he left. He didn't know if this would comfort Oscar. But he couldn't replace any way to ensure Oscar's safety at the moment.

So, the night went on. Besse felt a bit tired. She said, "Oscar, staying with you for so long has already been my limit. If you don't wake up... then let it be."

Oscar remained still, without moving.

"After I've recovered, I will leave Northfield and return to Jolencami with Doyle," Besse said. "We will get married when we go back. I won't appear in Northfield again." She wouldn't come back anymore.

Although there were things and people she couldn't let go of here, she'd decided to bury those memories or feelings in her heart.

She took another glance at Oscar and wheeled herself to leave.

"When you get married..." A weak, low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the hospital room.

Besse's body trembled slightly.

She turned to look at him. Oscar was lying still with his eyes closed. However, the sound did come out of his mouth.

As she was still confirming whether it was true or not, he spoke again and said, "Remember to send me an invitation."

Her eyes turned a bit red. She suppressed all her emotions and hid them away.

"No." She replied in an extremely rational tone.

Oscar seemed to have chuckled. However, obviously due to his physical condition, even smiling was difficult for him. "I don't want to be disturbed."

The reasons for her rejection were so blatantly obvious.

Oscar said, "Okay."

Then I wish you a happy wedding. I hope you will be happy forever.

These were his unfinished words.

Besse had left.

She walked towards the door of the intensive care unit. There was no attachment or reluctance when Oscar suddenly woke up.

It was her limit, to accompany him for so long.

Theodore didn't know that Oscar had woken up since he was lying still in the ward.

When he was about to burst into flames at the sight of her, Besse told him, "Oscar woke up."

Theodore's anger soared, but his angry words froze on his lips.

"Oscar woke up," Besse said again. "So can I leave now?"

Automatically, Theodore made way for her.

Theodore watched her back and then turned to look at Oscar again. Oscar opened his eyes.

Damn it! It worked!

Theodore quickly let the expert doctors waiting outside in to diagnose Oscar. The busy orderly work began again in the intensive care unit.

Besse wheeled herself to leave alone and returned to her room, where Susan and Manuel were waiting for her.

Susan seemed asleep on the bedside chair, while Manuel had been sitting next to her all along. When he saw Besse come back, he just nodded slightly at her while she did likewise with him too. Manuel carefully released Susan's hand and settled her down gently so as not to wake her from sleep before walking out of the room with Besse together.

"How's Oscar?" Manuel asked when they were outside of the room

"He woke up."

As for whether or not he would die again later on, she didn't know either.
