Chapter 722 The Feud (27) The Last Man of the Royal Wells Family

After Theodore left, Oscar crouched down and lifted Cian's battered and bruised body onto his back.

When they were children, Cian loved to cling to Oscar. Although they didn't live together during their childhood and Oscar didn't have deep feelings for his younger brother, Cian had a natural inclination to be close to his older brother. For some unknown reasons, whenever he appeared, Cian would always cling to him and refuse to let go. For a long time, Oscar didn't want to be entangled with Cian, which was why he agreed to all of Cian's requests. But after some point, he got used to it and would carry his younger brother around on his back while playing at home.

"Cian," Oscar's voice was hoarse. He put Cian on his back and said, "Let me carry you to... play." Oscar's voice got lower and lower until he couldn't continue.

The last time Oscar carried Cian on his back was when Cian was 12 years old. After that, he never agreed to carry him anymore, no matter how Cian acted cute and asked. Because Ocscar thought they had grown up already. Each time Oscar refused, he could see the disappointment in Cian's eyes, but he never relented. He always thought that Cian was just being childish and seeking attention by doing things that didn't make sense.

Only now did Oscar realize that the reason Cian acted that way was that he didn't want to be or feel separated from him. It was the same feeling that Oscar had now. He didn't want Cian to leave him and he just wanted to carry him forever. Oscar carried the body out of the villa.

The sun was shining brightly outsides. But Cian could never see that again.

Theodore was in the hall. The Wells' army was also there. Those from Balderston's army, dead and alive, were being cleaned up by the Wells' army. Some of the remaining confederates ran and the rest were demoralized and didn't want to fight anymore.

Theodore felt heavy while searching. He wondered what would he do if he saw Hannah and Manuel's dead bodies. Would he hide them so that Oscar could never see them? He gritted his teeth and went deeper slowly.

Suddenly, Theodore saw someone he was familiar with. It was Jimmy, who was laying on the ground. He had been shot several times and was apparently dead.

Theodore suppressed the soreness and sadness in his heart. He could not help but feel considerably worried about Hannah.

"Manuel!" Theodore decided to yell instead of looking. He didn't want to see their dead bodies.

"Manuel!" Theodore yelled.

The Wells' army was taken aback by him. But no one dared to interrupt him, and everyone was doing their own things in an orderly manner.

"Manuel, I'm fucking asking you to respond to me..." Theodore's eyes turned red. He thought now it was sure enough that Manuel was dead. Manuel was the person who least liked to joke around. He certainly wouldn't have ignored him.

Theodore sat down on the ground. He didn't have the same composure as Oscar. In fact, Theodore's heart had already shattered. For the first time, he found that death could destroy a person's mind. He covered his face with his hands and tears flew out from his palms. He blamed himself for not being a man. It wasn't the first time he experienced death. When he grew up in the training base, he didn't know how many times he was on the verge of death. Now, there shouldn't be a death he couldn't face to.

Suddenly Theodore heard someone call him not far away.

Theodore thought he was hallucinating.

"Theodore," Then he heard the weak and familiar voice again,

He turned around sharply, without wasting another second. Then he saw Manuel, covered in blood, laying not far behind him.

"You're alive!" Theodore rejoiced. But what he said made Manuel feel like it was his fault to survive.

There was a moment of coma after the explosion, but he didn't die after all. He heard someone calling him, so he opened his eyes and saw Theodore sitting there with a decadent expression.

"Where's Hannah?" Theodore asked since Manuel wasn't dead.

Manuel turned his head and looked at the place where Hannah had been hiding before. There was the least damage to the entire villa. Cian was trying to avoid hurting her. So Hannah probably wasn't dead either.

Theodore ran in the direction Manuel pointed. Then he saw Hannah sitting in the corner with her head buried between her legs. There was a lot of blood under her body.

"Hannah?" Theodore whispered to her, afraid of scaring her.

Hannah's body moved slightly and then she raised her head slowly.

The moment she looked up, Theodore was crying. Thank god that Hannah didn't die, or he was afraid that Oscar would kill himself.

"Is Oscar here?"

Theodore wiped away his tears and nodded quickly, while he despised himself inside for crying emotionally.

"Where is he?" asked Hannah.

Theodore paused. At that moment, he didn't know how to answer her. Oscar was with Cian, and Cian was dead.

"Is Cian dead?"

Theodore was silent. But silent also meant yes. Tears ran down Hannah's face. The person that the whole Wells family wanted to protect died in the end.

"Leave them alone. Let me take you out of here."

Theodore picked her up. Hannah didn't refuse. She thought that she couldn't help much here. Or Oscar wouldn't want to see her at all at that moment. After all, Cian died because of her. She might not be able to redeem that sin in her entire life.

Theodore left the villa with Hannah in his arms.

Manuel didn't follow.

Theodore was sure Manuel wouldn't die now, so he didn't force him to seek medical treatment immediately. Oscar also needed someone to be around at that moment.

Manuel walked with difficulty to a hidden corner outside the villa. He thought Oscar must be there. He was right, he found Oscar there. The place where his cousin's parents were buried. There had been no bodies inside. But with Cian's body, there would be a real corpse in the grave soon. Manuel sat down and said, "Oscar."

Oscar's body moved slightly. But he didn't raise his head and kept digging through the soil with his bare hands. Now all his fingers were covered with mud as well as his blood. "Hannah's still alive," Manuel said.

Oscar's throat trembled. There were some emotions he could never hide, even if they were forbearing.

"Let me help you." Manuel squatted down to help Oscar dig the soil. They wanted to bury Cian here. Henceforth, Cian would reunite with his and Oscar's parents.

However, that also meant, from now on, there was only Oscar left alive in the original family of four.
