Chapter 411 Manuel's Relationship with Oscar

Hannah stood up to leave after she finished her words. But she hesitated for a few seconds before she left, and said, "Manuel, could you just keep it to yourself?" Manuel was a little surprised.

"I mean, don't tell anyone. I'm afraid of being seen as a monster. And, I'm afraid of being studied as a human trial by the scientists." Manuel burst out smiling and said, "OK. I promise."

"Don't tell anyone, not even Oscar." Hannah said with a straight face. She didn't want Oscar to judge her. After all, they didn't have any pleasant memory in her previous life. "OK."

"Manuel, you and Oscar are more than friends, right? I think the relationship between you and him is closer than that with me and Susan." Hannah suddenly asked in earnest. Manuel was silent.

"It's OK if you don't want to tell." Hannah said with a light smile. She just couldn't force Manuel to tell her something that even Oscar refused to tell her.

"Oscar is my cousin." Manuel said all at once.

Hannah was stunned to hear that.

"Biological one?" Hannah asked.

"Yes."

"Is he your mother's or your father's..."

"So much for that." Manuel smiled and said, "Almost like that. Oscar will tell you someday."

"Are you sure he's gonna tell me?"

"Oscar's been in love with you for a long time." Manuel said straightforwardly.

Hannah frowned.

"I just can't tell you too much. Or, I'll spoil the surprises in your future life with him."

"Surprises? Come off it. I'm afraid I'll be scared out each time." Hannah sounded a little helpless. She wondered what Oscar had kept from her.

"No worries. Oscar can't bear to scare you out. He loves you."

Somehow, Hannah thought Manuel's words were kind of unbearably sweet.

"All in all, you made a good choice to marry Oscar. No matter what happens, he won't stab you to death."

"Are you kidding me?" Hannah looked pissed off.

Manuel burst into laughter and said, "It's getting late. You gotta go now."

"OK." Hannah stood up and added, "Manuel, thank you for what you have done for Susan, and for telling me about the relationship between you and Oscar." Manuel smiled lightly, "No worries."

"I trust you more than Susan." He said.

"Manuel, don't you have a crush on me?"

"Don't set me up." Manuel interrupted her immediately and looked scared on his face, "Oscar will kill me."

"Is he so violent?"

"I guess you've seen his hidden side." Manuel reminded.

Hannah pursed her lips. Indeed, she'd seen it.

"But, don't worry. He loves you." Manuel said, "You've gotta go. Or, Oscar will be worried."

"He's in River Town now. I don't know when he'll be back." Hannah complained.

"His love is always with you."

"Jesus! If you've told Susan any of these sweet words, you wouldn't have..." Hannah bit back the words all at once.

Manuel smiled carelessly as if he doesn't care about anything about Susan.

"Off I go. Take care." Hannah said goodbye to him.

"Thanks. You too."

After Hannah left, the smile on Manuel's face was frozen and then unseen. He thought there was a day when he would get over the pain of a broken heart, instead of locking himself up here and venting out his feelings. He glanced at the wounds on the back of his hands and then ignored them.

The next day, Susan finished the checkups and was discharged from the hospital. She went to visit Henry before she left. Henry was lying on the bed and was about to get up the moment he saw Susan coming in.

But the nurse stopped him the next second, "Are you trying to kill yourself? You had a terrible car accident yesterday, but you got out of bed last night! The stitched wounds were torn open again! I just fixed it. What are you gonna do now?"

The nurse was a little angry, which made Henry kind of awkward. Susan could tell from the nurse's words that Henry had torn his wounds open again last night when he got off the bed to see her. She said with guilt, "Sorry, Henry."

"Hey! Don't be silly. No biggie. I'll be fine in a couple of days." Henry comforted her, "All in all, it was my fault. If I hadn't..."

"You had nothing to do with it. Don't be guilty." Susan said instantly.

"OK. Let's just forget it." Henry smiled and asked, "Are you going home?"

"Ya, the doc said I'm fine and told me to rest well at home."

"OK. You should listen to the doc and go home. Home is much better, anyway."

"When can you leave the hospital?"

"The doc said I'd have to stay in hospital for a week. Then he'll see and decide based on my recovery."

"Is it so bad?"

"Not exactly. But the hospital can't take the chances." Henry explained immediately.

Susan nodded her head quietly.

"Go home now. It's said that you should rest well after the miscarriage. Don't stand for too long." Henry urged.

"OK. Take care. Heal soon!"

"Sure. Thanks." Henry smiled.

Susan left with relief after she saw Henry was spirited. She always thought he was all alone in the world, and she was worried that no one was there to take care of him. But, she didn't know the woman, who she brushed past, went into the ward right after she left.

Edward came to pick Susan up. He set out immediately after he received the call from the hospital. Now he was waiting for Susan to get out of Henry's ward, then took her home.

In the car, Edward couldn't help to say, "Susan, you must take very good care of yourself. Be more careful and be sure to fully recover."

"OK. I know. Stop it." Susan said impatiently.

"OK. OK. I'll drop it." Edward came to terms with Susan most of the time, then he changed the topic, "Get over it and get on well with Manuel after you go back to him. Both of you are young, and you can have kids again sooner or later..."

"Dad! Can you just shut up?" Susan was a little annoyed, "Stay out of it."

"Susan! Hear me out! Are you still in love with Henry?"

"It's none of your business."

"Lord! Why are you so stubborn? Manuel is awesome! I've known him since he was a kid. I believe no one else in the world loves you more than he does. You'll be terribly sorry if you decide to break up with him."

"Shut up or I'll jump off the car!" Susan threatened.

Edward couldn't do anything with her, so he just heaved a long sigh and kept his mouth shut.

The car arrived at the garage of Manuel's apartment. Susan got off the car while Edward bit back the words, fearing he would piss her off again and she would run away from home. And, Susan ran into the elevator as soon as she got off, in case Edward talked endlessly in her ear.

She felt her heart beating faster for a second when she was in the elevator.

Somehow, she got a feeling that things between Manuel and her had totally changed overnight.
