Chapter 577 Love Was Gone for Good

"Miss Phillips," Tia called her in a low voice and looked a little timid.

Susan came back to earth and suddenly put on an exaggerated smile.

"Um... Sorry. I didn't mean to... I mean I didn't know you were together. I thought that... Well, forget it. Sorry. It seems I've interrupted you." "No..." Tia wanted to explain but dared out say anything because Manuel was warning her with his sharp eyes. And Susan didn't notice that. "Well, I shall leave and let you guys continue."

"Don't you want me to drive you home?" Manuel asked in a deep voice.

"Nope. Actually, I was just being unreasonable. I could make it here and of course, I can get myself back home." Susan said, trying to smile naturally. Manuel just looked at her, seeing her squeezing out a smile.

"Do you want me to call Henry?" he asked.

"No." Susan turned it down immediately, "I don't want him to misunderstand anything."

Manuel pressed his lips and nodded slightly.

"Gotta run. Bye!"

She had tried to say something else or make fun of Tia, but she simply couldn't speak a word. And she just fled away from Manuel's apartment.

She ran back to her car and slammed the door. Grabbing the steering wheel hard with both hands, she didn't start the car.

Susan couldn't understand why it broke her heart. With tears shedding down her cheeks, she was very confused. She thought she must be too embarrassed about the mistake.

Manuel was with Tia tonight. How could he have shown up in the warehouse?

After all, Martina could do anything for Manuel. Besides, she was very familiar with that inexplicable feeling. So, she deemed it was Manuel.

But that wasn't true. She must distinguish between imagination and reality. She tried hard to chill out. However, she couldn't get rid of the scene where Tia was lying in Manuel's bed, naked. There was no forever love. Once love was gone, it was gone for good.

Susan started the car and drove away.

Manuel stood by the French window and watched her drive away slowly. Several butts were scattered around him. Probably, he was trying hard to stop himself from going after her. And he didn't run after her, in the end.

He'd never expected Susan to be guilty of him, nor did he want to weaponize gratitude to hold onto her. Now that he'd given up his love, there was no turning back. He just hated to be a burden to anyone. That was he hadn't gone back for Susan in the warehouse after he ran out with the bomb tonight.

He got blown away for meters when he threw it out at the gate of the warehouse. And it took a long while for him to wake up again. After that, never had he thought of leaving with her.

He didn't want Susan to know what he had done for her.

Thus, he called Henry with his phone, in which he'd installed software to hide his number and change his voice. He didn't get back to his car and left until he saw Henry leave with Susan in his arms.

His back was seriously injured by the explosion. He knew very clearly that Martina's death and the explosion in the warehouse would attract the local police's attention and they'd begin the investigation.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he went straight home instead of going to the hospital. And he needed someone to clean the wound for him at home.

Since Theodore was away, and Oscar and Hannah were in the hospital, Tia was the last person he could think of and rely on. Out of question, he couldn't tell his mother, who would be freaked out. He hated to be a burden since he was little. So, he called Tia to come over and clean the wound for him. Surprisingly, Susan stopped by.

He thought Susan couldn't feel him in the warehouse because he knew she was a careless girl and she couldn't think much under that circumstance. But she did come for him.

Even so, he hadn't thought of telling her the truth, for he didn't want Susan to feel guilty.

He'd realized that his love would be Susan's trouble, which was learned from Martina's love for him.

Manuel knew how it felt.

Therefore, he had asked Tia to lie in his bed, only to make Susan misunderstand that they'd been together the whole night, which would remove all her doubts.

"Mr Johnson," Tia called him behind his back.

Manuel blinked his eyes slightly, put out the cigarette end and turned around.

"I saw Miss Phillips was heartbroken when she left. Would you like to explain..."

"No." Manuel gave her a quick no.

Tia couldn't understand why Manuel pushed Susan away since he still loved her so deeply.

"Please help me clean the wound on the back." Manuel changed the topic.

Tia nodded immediately.

Susan's knock had interrupted them. Tia couldn't help panicking when she thought of the wound on Manuel's back, wondering what had happened and how he'd got so badly injured. The next day, Hannah opened her eyes.

She had stayed in the hospital with Oscar last night. Possibly, it would be her routine for a long time.

Stretching herself and turning over, she happened to replace Oscar staring at her.

"Good morning, honey." He said with a pretty smile.

"Why didn't you wake me?"

"I couldn't do that. You were sleeping like a baby girl."

Slightly blushed, Hannah couldn't stand his sweet words.

"What time is it?" she sat up on the bed.

"It's past eight."

Usually, she would wake up naturally at around 7 AM. Undoubtedly, she'd been exhausted recently.

"Honey," said Oscar.

Upon hearing he addressed her as 'honey', Hannah was over the moon inside.

"Yes?" Hannah said and acted to be calm as usual.

"Put on your gown." Oscar reminded.

Lowering her head, she saw the hospital gown which was not dressed properly on her and was flushed again abruptly.

Oscar had been admitted to hospital urgently yesterday. She hadn't had much time to pack her stuff, so she put on the hospital gown.

The hospital gown was way too big and loose for her. Under it, her breasts were exposed. Hannah wrapped herself tight with the gown, covering her breasts.

"I'm afraid I can't help myself," Oscar said.

"It really tortures me to look at the sexy beauty but can't do anything," Oscar said slowly.

Hannah saw his eye glittering with sexual desire. He was hot and horny.

She instantly got out of bed and said, "I need to wash up now."

Damn it!

They'd been married for years and had sex a lot. Somehow, she still fell for his flirtation, which made her red in the face.
