Chapter 783 The bottom line

Sarah believed Hannah's words at that moment. It appeared that Hannah's desirability always made others easily believe her. Sarah thought Hannah might cheat on her, but she still tried to believe Hannah.

"Think carefully, it's not urgent." Said Hannah, slowly and peacefully. Then she walked away, as she knew, that the more she said, the more possible Sarah might not believe her. Therefore, it was better to let Sarah think personally. Sarah wanted her to leave Oscar. It's a good thing for Sarah, as now Hannah told her that she wanted to leave.

Hannah got back to the sickbed. She remembered when she was lying on the operating table, the doctor told her that her baby was safe and very healthy. She was very surprised at that moment. She had thought her baby would not survive since she had fallen heavily with bleeding, and she had been ready to accept 'the fact' that her baby was dead. She didn't remember how she was feeling when the doctor said that her baby was fine, perhaps miserable. So, she didn't tell the doctor to induce abortion finally.

Hannah touched her belly, and she could feel the baby in her body. For an instant, she felt a fetal movement from the baby, seemingly a response to Hannah. Hannah felt quite uncomfortable and wondered whether the baby would have hated her if she had abandoned her. She didn't hide her miserableness as Oscar and Sarah weren't there.

Max was with Hannah in the ward. He knew that Hannah was just pretending to be strong. He couldn't resist saying to her, "Miss Cooper, have a bite, please, just for you, and your baby. Don't hurt yourself by that thing."

Hannah looked at Max, who was still throwing his heart into looking after her, as she and Oscar were in a so difficult situation.

"Thank you, Max," said she.

Max felt a bit ashamed by Hannah's words, and hastily said, "It's my pleasure as well as my duty."

Hannah always thought everyone, should cherish a heart of gratitude. She had been thankful to Oscar, but now everything had been going in the wrong way. "Please go home, I want to be alone," Hannah said to Max.

"But you haven't eaten the gruel yet."

"I'll take it later."

"Master asked me to see you eat it," Max said, in a stubborn tone. Oscar's words were absolute orders to him.

Hannah didn't want to put him in an awkward situation. She took the bowl and had a few bites. She had no appetite now, for there were lots of things weighing on her mind. She forced herself to eat half a bowl, and then said to Max, "I can't eat another bite, and I want to have a rest."

"Well, I put it on the cupboard. If you're hungry later, you can have some bites. The thermos pot will keep warm for at least three hours."

"Thanks."

"My pleasure."

"Go back home, please."

"I..." Max wanted to stay here accompanying her.

"I'm OK here with nursing workers, and the doctor said I'm fine. I'd like some chicken soup." Said Hannah.

"Well, now I'm going home to prepare the chicken soup." Hearing that Hannah wanted soup, Max readily agreed.

Hannah didn't want to cheat on Max. Perhaps, Max would never want to look after her when he got back later, Hannah thought.

Max went away. Only Hannah was in the ward, very quiet. It was frightening. After a moment's hesitation, she finally made a decision. She rang the bell.

The doctor came after a very short while, and asked in an anxious voice, "Ms Cooper, do you feel ill now? Do you feel pain in the lower abdomen, or bleed?" Hannah shook her head, and said, "No, I just want to ask something."

The doctor felt released, and said with respect, "Please." Perhaps considering Oscar's identity, the doctor was very deferential.

Hannah seemingly realized till today, that Oscar had changed profoundly. For a long time ago, he was just a playboy in Kensbury City, but now he was the chief commander with honourable status in this country.

"I want to abort the baby, is it dangerous?" Hannah began, peacefully.

The doctor was thunderstruck, looking at Hannah. He thought, "The baby is fine. But why does she want an induced abortion? Am I wrong?"

"Doctor, yes, I said, I want to abort the baby. Please schedule an operation for me." Hannah said very calmly. She wasn't kidding.

The doctor was wordless for a while. He didn't know what he should say. He didn't have the guts to do an abortion operation on the commander's wife. Then he said, in a nervous tone, "Ms Cooper, may I inform Mr Wells about it? I think, he should know it, and..."

"No. My signature is all right." Hannah interrupted the doctor, and added, "You just need to arrange the operation. I'll bear responsibility for the consequences."

"But..."

"Say no more," interrupted Hannah, "the sooner the better."

"Well... I'll arrange it." The doctor had no choice but to agree.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." Then the doctor got out.

When the doctor went away, Hannah couldn't help the tears rolling down her face. It was not because she was merciless. She thought she couldn't reserve the baby because she didn't want to have an association with Oscar. She was very clear that Oscar would have kinds of reasons to maintain their relationship if the baby still existed. But, if she aborted the baby, Oscar's pride wouldn't allow him to accept that. That was his bottom line, and he would let her go in the end.
