Chapter 785 Coronation

Oscar fixed his eyes on the line of "Conversation Over" on the screen with a furious stare; his face turned blue and his hand holding with the phone shook out of rage.

Lilian watched the angry man, curious about the source of his anger, his ex-wife, Hannah. How could the woman have Oscar love her so deeply?

Lilian liked, but not loved, the man in front of her. After all, they did not spend time long enough together.

But who could say no to him, the most handsome guy with the highest up in Northfield? To marry him must be the dream of every woman in this country, and of course, as one of them, she wanted to be the most enviable wife on the earth. Naturally, she was interested in the woman in Oscar's heart.

She had barely witnessed Oscar's emotion which was displayed on his face because of Hannah. Besides, her sister followed Oscar to Kensbury even a day and came back with a life threat from him. When they heard her sister crying on the phone, they burst into fury for their blood. However, they just repressed their anger. She did not mention a word about her sister's trip at the dinner tonight before Oscar. And her sister did not show up at dinner. It was her father who did not call her back to avoid embarrassing Oscar.

The crown always came first for her father, even though he did spoil them. And each of her siblings knew his father's bottom line, but her sister still made a stupid mistake. To her confusion, her sister was not a fool, but why did she make herself trouble by offending Hannah time and time again? And what happened to Sarah intensified Lilian's interest in Oscar's ex-wife. However, she'd better not unveil her interest in front of Oscar. Instead, she must pretend to desire nothing, neither for the man nor the power. That was the way she could alleviate Oscar's hostility.

"What's wrong? Did you fight with Hannah?" Lilian was concerned with a smile.

Oscar glimpsed at her and she could see his effort to calm down. Lilian wondered whether only Hannah could see the real Oscar. And the man before the others was only his disguise.

"I just came to the bathroom and found your mobile phone, charging there and buzzing. Since I saw you enjoying the drink with your father and brother, I just answered it without being aware that HH, the name on the screen, is short for Hannah. So did I offend her?" Lilian explained with a sense of blame.

"Not a bit," Oscar said emotionless.

His voice sounded peaceful. And his fury was cleared off in minutes.

"Then I'm relieved." Lilian smiled as if she was harmless and easygoing, and added, "So let's go on the dinner."

Oscar nodded. Lilian came to get her hand around Oscar's arm naturally. But such intimacy froze Oscar but he did not reject it. Lilian was pleased by his consent and she believed he would let go of Hannah someday. So it was unnecessary to push him.

Hannah's request for checking out of the hospital was rejected. Afterwards, the original 2 bodyguards were increased to 4 who kept close to the patient even in such a senior ward that was not big enough. It seemed Oscar had turned as powerful as a king, but he could not put Hannah under entire control.

Soon after she was held in the hospital, she began to fight a hunger strike. She did not take anything after the chicken soup that night, nothing at all. Besides, she cut off the fluid infusion to provide nutrition for her baby. The physicians dared not to force Hannah, and neither did the bodyguards. They just watched helplessly her self-destruction.

Oscar's coronation was due on the second day. So the TV in the ward was on for the live broadcast. The ceremony was majestic and extraordinary. The camera kept focusing on that impeccable face, solemn, modest and powerful. This might be the most outstanding commander in Northfield since it was built.

Hannah watched TV nonchalantly. Max stayed with her, on the edge of his seat by the golden moment of his master, with his eyes full of tears. The Wells family reached its peak again at length, after so many years of toil. And his master turned out to be the greatest inheritor in the Wells family. He wiped off the tears from his cheeks.

As Oscar made his inaugural address, the camera made a sudden shift to Lilian. A piece of finely-custom black suit traced along her figure, slim and tall, making her fashionable and without a hint of pregnancy. Hannah looked at the beautiful lady on the screen with a poker face. Max turned his head and glanced at her, worrying that she might be upset with the woman on the screen. But her indifference escalated his concern. That might be proof of her love for his master had vanished. But his master still fancied her, so much.

Max tried to divert her attention by asking, "Madam, do you want some food?"

Hannah shook her head at her loss of appetite, though she could feel her baby was protesting her mistreatment. Max was unwilling to give up but disturbed before his trial.

"Max, I understand your kindness. But please don't push me."

So Max seized his persuasion. As a butler, he was clear about what was proper to tell, and what was not. Then both of them went quietly back to the TV.

At the end of the coronation, millions of colourful balloons floated in the sky, bringing the ceremony to its spectacular peak. After the live broadcast, she lay on the bed. The shortage of food was exhausting her energy. She pondered how long the fight would last this time.

Her hunger strike must be heard by Oscar who should concentrate on his coronation without a second of being absentminded for a such trivial thing as she thought. But she still tended to annoy him at the most important moment in his life, hoping he would get tired of her and end the war as soon as possible.

Hannah closed her eyes for a snap. But it was soon she woke up by a kick of her baby, reminding her of its starvation. Tears flew from her cheeks out of guilt. During their last existence, she felt sorry for her parents; while in the existing one, it turned out to be her baby.

She tried to divert herself from grievance and opened her eyes, and soon after she was stunned.

Oscar stood before her. She wondered how could he appear right here, for the coronation was over not long before. She swallowed down her shock and raised her hands to dry her cheeks. But the other pair of warm hands were faster than hers. She gnashed and turned her face away, escaping from Oscar's help. It was unnecessary to conceal her resentment or repress her hatred.
