Chapter 841 Oscar Shows Up Again
"I don't mind crying my eyes out as long as you are happy!" said Susan firmly.
It was like anger talk, but Hannah was moved. Susan was always there to warm her heart. So, her life was full of love. It was worth living.
"OK. Gotta go. I have to go to the hospital and check on oedema."
"OK. Keep me informed. Love you."
"Sure. Love you, too. Bye for now."
Hannah hung up and put down the phone. She looked at her swollen legs and feet and poked at them. It was quite serious. She got out of bed, put on the slippers, sighed and went downstairs.
Max was busy cleaning. He saw Hannah and stepped forward immediately, "Ms Cooper."
"I'm having oedema. I need to go see a doctor and see if I need any treatment."
"Oedema?" said Max surprisingly.
"Yeah. My feet and legs are swollen." Explained Hannah, "It's not serious. Just make sure."
"I see. I'll send the car and go with you." Said Max, who never took it something petty.
Soon afterwards, Max left with Hannah. It was getting hot in Kensbury City. Hannah looked at the scorching sun out of the car window and felt extremely annoyed.
The doctor did a series of examinations for her and confirmed that it was physiologic oedema in the later stages of pregnancy, which would be gone after the baby was born. So, she didn't need any special treatment. Given that, Hannah and Max left for home soon.
She abruptly saw Oscar when they were back. It had been two months since he left last time. She thought he would never come back again. However, he did come back right before his wedding.
Hannah didn't know how to face him.
Was she supposed to congratulate him or just turn a cold shoulder on him?
At last, she went for the second choice. The oedema was bothering her, though the doctor said there was nothing wrong with it. She had bigger trouble walking.
She said nothing, but Max acted enthusiastic. He went up to Oscar and reported, "Master Oscar, I've just accompanied Ms Cooper to see a doctor. She's having pregnancy oedema, but the doctor said it was normal. He advised Ms Cooper to have some massage and not to sit and lie for too long, and remember to raise the legs in bed to help with the blood circulation."
Max had remembered everything better than her. Hannah listened to Max talking and went past them to go back to her room.
Her room was on the second floor. Hannah had difficulties going upstairs and began to think if she should live on the first floor because she didn't want to suffer physically. Oscar had seen her clumsiness. It'd been two months only, but Hannah had changed a lot. The baby bump had grown dramatically and she'd gained a lot of weight. She seemed to be out of breath in walking.
"Master Oscar, how long are you gonna stay this time?" asked Max.
Oscar watched Hannah going out of sight and looked back at him, "I'll leave tomorrow."
"Oh, OK." Said Max in disappointment.
"I'm back in Kensbury City for official business. I'll leave tomorrow morning."
"I see, Master Oscar." Said Max respectfully. He thought Oscar was back for Hannah only. Somehow, he thought Oscar owed Hannah an explanation and should comfort her after he had announced to marry Lilian. But Max dared not say much about it.
Oscar had tried to avoid it. He had no idea how to explain the marriage thing, though Hannah knew it would come sooner or later. He simply kept working numbly around the clock and tried to kill time in this way. But, he still came to see her in the villa when he was back in Kensbury City for official business. Oscar went upstairs as well.
Hannah was doing a massage herself as the doctor indicated. The baby bump was so big that she could hardly touch her legs and feet. It was obvious that she'd gained a lot of weight. She didn't think so at first, but she finally got to know the great effect of pregnancy hormones.
Sometimes, she didn't want to look at herself in the mirror, because she thought she was fat and ugly. But she didn't care much about her look when Oscar was around. There goes the old saying that a girl will doll herself up for him who loves her. Oscar wasn't the one she loved, so she didn't care about it.
"Lie down. Let me help you." Oscar went up to her and said.
"No need." Said Hannah, "The doc said it's normal to have oedema during pregnancy. No biggie. They will be gone after the baby is born."
"Just lie down." Insisted Oscar.
He put a pillow below her back and adjusted her to the most comfortable position, then he put a pillow below her legs. After it, he began doing massage her. Hannah felt uncomfortable with it. How could she let Mr Commander massage her? But she accepted it since she couldn't say no to him.
It was quiet in the room. Oscar was kneading her legs, and Hannah was reading entertainment news on the phone. The most breaking news of the day was about Oscar and Lilian's marriage. The press had made a buzz of it. Everyone had heard about it.
Hannah didn't know what kind of wedding Oscar would give Lilian. Probably, it would be grand and luxurious. Undoubtedly, Commander-in-chief's wedding was a red-letter day for the whole country. Hannah read the news silently and got sleepy. As the due date came closer, she gained more weight and had more difficulties moving, and she even felt like sleeping all the time. Most of the time, she was sleeping. Right at this time, she fell asleep while she was reading the news.
Oscar raised his head and saw her sleeping with the phone in hand. He stood up, took over the phone and took a look at the phone screen while he was about to put it away. He saw the news contents with a photo, in which he and Lillian looked at each other in the eyes, looking like they were deeply in love. Oscar swallowed, logged out of the news APP and put the phone away.
Hannah was leaning on the bed. Oscar bent down to carry her up and put her down on the bed. He found it a little hard to carry her. Hannah felt someone coming close but was too sleepy to open her eyes. She slightly changed the position and went back to sleep.
Oscar stared at her sleeping face. It was fortunate that Hannah was stronger than most people. No matter what happened, she knew what to do for her good, and knew how to minimize the harm to herself, just like this. She could manage to live a good life.
