Chapter 754 Oscar’s Answer

Chapter 754 Oscar's Answer

Inside the ward, Susan had been staying by his side, talking and crying. She could do nothing else but shed endless tears.

Justine was staying there as well. Tears welled up in her eyes from time to time. Though she used to assume she didn't reserve many feelings for the marriage with Edward, she still found herself heartbroken about what happened to him.

Justine took a deep breath, and then she took out her phone and walked to the balcony. She was about to dial Hannah's number. Justine reckoned that she must be worrying about Susan. However, on the other hand, she could provide no suggestion for Hannah to tackle Oscar's trouble. At the thought of that, she couldn't help sighing.

As the line was connected, as always, she heard Hannah's usual decent voice in composure, from which no obvious emotion could be captured.

"Ms Knight, how about Edward?"

She could tell Hannah must be expecting her call though she didn't take the initiative to call first. Justine somehow felt amazed by Hannah's self-possession.

"According to the doctor, a cerebral haemorrhage occurred when he tried suicide. Now he has turned vegetative." Replied Justine.

"Vegetative?" Hannah seemed to lose her composure upon hearing that.

"But the doctor said there could be miracles to expect." Justine then added. However, a miracle sounded too equivocal to realize.

"What about Susan?" asked Hannah.

"She's crying in pain." Justine still grew great empathy for her. Then she managed to soften the atmosphere before the conversation was filled with sheer sadness, "I hope she could be as tough as you." "If I were her, I don't think I would be any better," Hannah replied frankly.

After all, no one could stay calm when facing the loss of family members. Justine still remembered how desperate she was when her family was doomed at that time.

"Ms Knight, please take care of her." Said Hannah.

"Don't worry. I got plenty of time to stay with her. I will keep my eyes on her."

"What about Manuel?" asked Hannah again.

Manuel should be staying with Susan after such a disaster happened, Hannah reckoned.

And what about Henry?

"Manuel got his business to handle." Said Justine.

Upon hearing that, Hannah held back what she was about to say. From her perspective, she wasn't actually in a suitable position to ask Manuel to spend time with Susan. So she simply added, "Okay, Ms Knight, thanks."

"Not a problem. After all, Edward and I used to be a couple. You gotta take care of yourself. I will look after Susan."

"Thank you. I gotta go." Hannah repeated to express her gratitude.

"Take care. Bye."

"Bye." Hannah hung up the phone.

As she looked away, she happened to see Oscar, whom she never expected to show up in the house all of a sudden.

Max was thrilled upon seeing his arrival. He hurried over and said, "Master Oscar, you've finally arrived. Why didn't you answer Madam's call? She kept calling a few minutes ago."

She simply stopped calling after receiving no response from the first one. But Hannah showed no signs to declare.

"I was on a flight," Oscar explained to Max. But actually, he meant to answer Hannah. That was why both Theodore and he didn't answer her call as they were on a flight together. Since then, Hannah got no reason to complain. And of course, she wasn't an unreasonable type.

Oscar walked over to Hannah and sat down next to her, "Anything you wanna say through the phone?"

Before Max was about to answer, Hannah shook her head. Max was stunned with his eyes wide open. Hannah, whose anger was running wild a moment ago, actually shook her head to deny it emotionlessly. "Nothing. It has gone."

"What is it about?" asked Oscar.

"Not your concern." Answered Hannah.

Oscar seemed a bit uneasy when staring at her, while Hannah averted her eyes from his face covered with fatigue. She knew sometimes Oscar had his reasons when he had to snub her. Though she was reasonable, she still found it hard to simply set herself free from tantrums. So her answer was to keep a distance from him, which should be long enough for both of them to stay out of understanding for each other.

"What brings you back?" Hannah changed the subject.

She felt like he must be back for a certain reason. As far as she knew, Oscar had been too busy to return. That was why she never felt like talking about her feelings to him. Nor did she feel like leaving the villa. On the one hand, she knew even though Edward had turned vegetative, Susan was still tough enough to keep herself clear of any idea about suicide. On the other hand, she hoped Oscar would be able to solve the troubles between them as soon as possible.

Oscar suddenly fell into silence as if he had never shown up here. Hannah felt like being left alone inside the grandiose villa just like before.

"Oscar, just say it. Perhaps what I expect has exactly accorded with your answer to come." Hannah was running out of patience.

Hesitant, he fixed his eyes on her still, who remained silent despite all kinds of answers she had expected. Hannah felt like she was like a fool when facing this man.

"Next month, I am gonna be throned to lead Northfield as the only heir of the Wells."

"Congratulations." Hannah let out a smile.

After all these years and afflictions happening to the Wells, his family still managed to return to its prime. It was Oscar who contrived to achieve their goal of generations. Her words of congratulations were from the bottom of her heart.

"But, before that..." Oscar paused.

His voice seemed to tremble. He found it hard to finish his sentence.

Hannah patiently kept waiting.

Tears seemed to well up in his eyes. Hannah hated to witness the moment he showed his soft spot at this moment. Since he had made a decision, what was the point of struggling with hesitation? It did no good but torture to both of them.

A choice had been made.

It was time to let go.

Whatever. Hannah let out a sigh slightly. If he found himself reluctant to tell the answer, she would do his job.

"You mean a divorce, right?" asked Hannah composedly.

Oscar replied with a stare. He got to admit that Hannah had been more incredibly self-possessed than most people he knew, which enabled her to stay away from panic when troubles occurred. Ever since she was taken to Melvin's, Hannah barely expressed her feelings in front of him. But Oscar would rather convince her to clearly express her feelings, through which he could tell how she truly felt. But now she stayed impassive while waiting for his disposal. That was the last thing he wanted to see.

With his lips pressed, Oscar nodded.

Hannah let out a quizzical smile. Though she had long expected that, she still found it torturing when hearing the answer from him.

After getting pregnant for five months, she was told to divorce.
