Chapter 588 There Was No Return
She was interrupted by Henry.
He chuckled, "I know you've been uncomfortable recently. You've been forced by your father to do many things that you don't want to do. You're very unhappy. Give me some more time. I'll bring you the life you want, and you can do whatever you want to do."
She looked at him, feeling the apprehension and uneasiness in his eyes.
Susan looked down, with her eyelids drooped. She was disappointed in herself-she used to think that she wouldn't change how she felt about Henry and he was her only love. But now, she was aware of the change in her.
"Susan," Henry gently drew her hands.
Susan pursed her lips. She wanted to refuse him, but she didn't want to repulse him.
"I will try my best to become the best man. I'll be your support."
He seemed to be taking an oath with great affection.
She was overwhelmed with emotions.
She and Henry had been together for so many years. Ever since she was in high school, he had been working hard for their future. Now that she had reached this point, she could not be apathetic towards him, let alone do anything to hurt him.
Susan remained silent.
Henry knew what she meant by what she had said. And he knew well what kind of person Susan was-she would put her whole self into it when she loved someone; while once the obsession disappeared, she would naturally ignore him and she wouldn't pretend to care.
By the time he noticed that Susan had been keeping a distance from him, he knew that she would have loved someone else.
But he couldn't accept the fact that Susan would fall in love with Manuel in the end.
He no way would allow Susan to come back to Manuel's side since he had put a lot of effort to win her back from Manuel. Fortunately, Susan was a soft-hearted person, who sometimes would compromise because of guilt.
It was difficult for her to refuse him as long as he expressed his deep feelings for her.
Sure enough.
Susan nodded and replied, "Yes."
Although she was a little perfunctory, at least she did not say "break up" and the like.
Henry only saw what he wanted to see, so he ignored her strange reaction and said, "It's getting late. Get some rest early. See you tomorrow." "See you tomorrow."
Susan opened the door and got off.
And Henry was watching her leave.
Henry's caring face disappeared as long as Susan got into the house.
He clenched his fists with a hideous face.
He must not be defeated by Manuel. And in two months, he would bring Manuel a discomfited leave! Henry swore he could!
A week later, Oscar had been discharged from the hospital.
The doctor suggested that he stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation, but he seemed to have a strong sense of rejection towards the hospital. Therefore, Hannah could only arrange for him to be discharged and take him back to his villa.
In the villa, Hannah and Oscar were having breakfast together in the early morning.
All Oscar could eat was liquid food.
Hannah found it poignant every time she saw him dining since he became thin when he could not exercise and eat well.
That caused her a great deal of heartache.
"If you look at me like this again, I am afraid I will not be able to control myself." Oscar was having his breakfast with his head down, but he acted like a man with a third eye on his forehead. Hannah rolled her eyes.
"You know I've been on..."
"No." Hannah did not speak the words out loud.
They were interrupted by Max, who was coming over.
Hannah's face turned pinker. And Oscar was also a little embarrassed.
"No sexual intercourse during this period." Max said solemnly, "You could do that after you recover."
Oscar coughed to give Max a signal to stop talking.
But Max continued, "If you cannot control yourself, I will take care of your living from now on. And Ma'am could sleep in another room."
Oscar's face darkened noticeably.
Who would need an old man?
Hannah found it very funny, laughing loudly.
"No." Oscar refused directly, "I'm not used to being taken care of by others."
"Am I one of 'others'?" Max seemed to be hurt.
Hannah felt rotten and guilty.
"Well, I mean..." Oscar tried to explain.
Max said again, "I've been with Master Oscar all my life. You were afraid of the dark, and I accompanied you to sleep. I stayed with you throughout your childhood. You also asked me to accompany you for a lifetime. Now that you have a wife, do you despise me?"
"..." Oscar was speechless.
Hannah was on Max's side and she was still amused by Oscar, who was helpless.
There were things Oscar could not handle.
"Max, Oscar is afraid you would be tied. You are older now, you should take care of your health." Hannah spoke.
Max looked at Hannah with pitiful eyes.
"Well. I just wanted to say that I've been on vacation for a long time. My dad called me yesterday to ask when I could go to work at the company. I promised my dad that I would go today. So Max, please look after Oscar when I'm not around..."
Oscar glanced at her.
"You don't have to rush to work. I've already asked for leave from the City Hall for you. You can rest at home for a month and go back when you're feeling better." She said to Oscar. "OK," Oscar answered.
And Hannah said to Max again, "Max, was he afraid of the dark when he was a child?"
She intended to comfort Max by asking so, with a topic Max was interested in.
"That's true," said Max hurriedly, "When Master Oscar was three or four years old, I officially took care of him. At that time, he was only a little child. When I saw him at that time, I felt that he was the most beautiful child in the world. He was just indescribably good-looking."
Hannah was imagining what little Oscar looked like.
When she was young, she had seen Oscar, but she didn't remember so much about him because she had focused on Charles only at that time.
"The first time I met Master Oscar, he was so cool and aloof. He didn't talk to me or smile at me, like a little adult. After I took care of him for at least a year, he became a little closer to me." Max recalled what had happened in the past and spoke eloquently.
Hannah listened to the story with full attention.
Oscar didn't interrupt them.
He seemed to take this opportunity to let Hannah know some of his past.
