Chapter 786 Desperate Love

Oscar's hand was frozen with awkwardness in the air. The clear rejection from Hannah put his hand down slowly.

"Hannah, please take some food."

But the woman replied to him in silence. Oscar was not annoyed. Instead, he suggested with a more genial voice, "How about some warm water? It could refresh your appetite." The woman still kept silent and turned her back to the man as if he was invisible. Max watched them with a heavy sigh. Oscar's sudden appearance was out of his expectation since the coronation just ended several hours ago. So it was certain that Oscar flight to Kensbury as soon as the ceremony was over. There should be abundant business to deal with, and a state banquet was due tonight for celebration. But Oscar just left them aside and rushed back. This seemed improper. Max gave up persuading because of his helplessness in the desperate love between Oscar and Hannah.

The room was silent till Hannah opened the duvet and rose from the bed. Oscar fixed her with a concerned stare, watching her sudden rise and landing on the floor. She wanted to go to the bathroom. However, as soon as she laid her feet on the ground, she felt so dizzy that she nearly fell at once. Oscar quickly took her into his arms.

Resting herself upon his chest resentfully, she felt awkward and strange even in the same hug with a familiar smell which reminded her of another woman. That disgusted her and impelled her to push the man away with all her strength.

Oscar looked at her doleful withdrawal as if he was the dirtiest thing on the earth. But the dizziness still haunted her. So she just leaned against the wall for support, mitigating her sickness. Maybe because of her shortage of food or long time in bed, she was so weak that she was afraid of losing consciousness the next second.

Oscar did not approach but just stared at her. The woman got thinner just one day later. When he entered the room, he found her slumbering with a pale face. Suddenly he saw tears running down from her eyes, which stabbed his heart like a knife, dealing him a tremendous blow that nearly took his breath. But he just turned a blind eye to her suffering, for he could not bear the days without her.

He stretched out his hand again in an attempt to support her.

But she stopped him icily, "Keep away from me." She was too weak to say it loud, though she tried to conceal her weakness.

His hand stopped again in the air embarrassed.

Gradually recovering from dizziness, Hannah trudged wearily to the bathroom. Her pace was slow, and her body seemed to collapse at any minute. But she refused any help, reluctant for any inch of being close to Oscar. Finally, she entered the bathroom and shut the door.

Watching her back, stubborn but worn, he, in hard constraining, dropped down his hand in despair and closed it up to a fist.

Three minutes passed, and the door was motionless. Then after five minutes, the door kept still. And another 10 minutes passed, and the door had no sign to open.

Oscar moved ahead quickly and knocked on the door, calling, "Hannah!"

But there was no response.

"Hannah!" He shouted, knocking on the door more forcefully.

Then it kept soundless.

"Hannah, open the door, or I will break it!" Oscar howled like an angry lion.

The room was free of any sign of a human alive. Oscar was pushed over the edge. Then he raised his fist and punched the door. The door was banged by a fatal force.

The door sounded so fearful that Max rushed ahead, intending to stop his master. But his tongue was tied up in a knot when he saw Oscar's furious face. But the bang could not have any response from the inner side.

The horrible imagination of fatal risks for the woman and her baby freaked him out. With all his strength, he soon kicked the door opened and dashed in. His face distorted with terrible anxiety and fear. If any of his imagination came true, he must be driven to sociopaths.

However, Hannah was found washing her hands peacefully before the vanity counter, without awareness of the man and his anxiety. But his rage was eased off by the sight of her being safe and sound. "Don't worry. You don't deserve my sacrifice." Hannah said peacefully, washing her hands carefully before drying them bit by bit with a clean towel. Her peaceful words cut a bloody hole in his heart like a sword. After a small move of the throat, the violent lion turned into a peaceful cat.

He said lightly, "You're right. I'm not worthy." There was a discreet begging in his heart, wishing the woman to stop such self-destructive action. And he was the one to bear pain and suffering, not her, as he thought.

Hannah sneered at him. An attempt to jump from the window of the bathroom did flash into her mind. She then put down the towel and passed by Oscar. With a nonchalant glance at the door which was out of function by Oscar's kicks, she resumed on the bed. Her eyes were closed again to keep the unwanted man entirely invisible, for she had no way to chase him away.

However, she felt the head of her bed was lifted. She opened her eyes again, staring angrily at Oscar who elevated her bed without permission. The upper part of the bed was elevated to the degree of 75 from the rest, forcing her to sit down.

"Take some food." Oscar insisted naturally, turning a blind eye to her resentment.

Hannah gazed at him icily without words or fight.

Oscar turned and took the gruel cooked by Max.

He took out a spoon of gruel, blew to ensure it would not be too hot, and passed ahead and waited, but Hannah just stared at him nonchalantly. His back of palm was left bloody by the bang of the door. But she pretended unaware of that with her mouth shut.

Oscar opened his mouth to utter a sound, "ah", as if he was luring a baby to eat.

However, Hannah refused by turning her head aside.
