Chapter 863 Lillian in Hannah's Ward

Hannah went to the ward and saw only one infant incubator in the huge room. It was her baby. He was premature and weighed much lighter than normal newborn babies. She hadn't seen him since the cesarean operation. Maybe he was dying or maybe the doctor was afraid that she couldn't take it. Anyway, the baby was taken away right after he was born.

It was the first time she had seen her baby. He was sleeping still in the infant incubator. He looked so tiny and his face was wrinkled. It broke her heart to see that. The baby had suffered a lot with her from the pregnancy to the delivery. She thought she was a terrible mother.

"Hannah," Oscar called her name. Probably, he had seen the sorrow in her eyes.

Hannah swallowed and tried hard to hold back the tears, "What did the doctor say?"

"The baby is strong. The doctor said he could live with us like other babies for some time."

"How long will it be?" asked Hannah.

Oscar pursed his lips and said, "Maybe in a week, or maybe... in a year."

Hannah smiled coldly and took it as a cold comfort. The baby was still in danger just like Manuel. She gritted her teeth, trying to be stronger.

"Hannah, he'll be fine. I promise." Oscar said word by word, sounding very confident. He believed their child was a little strong buddy, and he would be back to them, safe and sound.

"Promise? How can you promise it?" asked Hannah indifferently.

"With my life!"

"You mean you would die with him if he couldn't survive?" Hannah looked at him calmly, which was like a knife sticking in his heart.

"OK." Oscar nodded, "If the baby died, I would pay you with my life."

Hannah shook her head. What was she going to do with his life? It couldn't help relieve her pain or grief at all! She turned around to watch the baby. A long while later, she left. She couldn't suffer for him, but she could seek revenge for him. The other people left with her.

Hannah returned to the ward. At the door, she saw a woman with a big baby bump waiting for them inside. It was Lillian, whose baby bump seemed to have grown overnight. Maybe she had tried hard to hide it from others before, and she couldn't wait to show it to everyone right now. Different dressing styles would also give people different visual effects.

Hannah had expected her and wasn't surprised. Oscar would replace out the plotter of the car accident if he got to the bottom of it. Even after the accident, he would also know that no one else except the Collins family had the guts to do something like this.

It was a smart choice to admit the mistake sooner. Hannah regretted having trusted Lillian, a very tricky girl. Hannah went over. Oscar looked at her face and walked along with her.

Lillian saw them and stepped forward in no time. She walked in a hurry and looked panicked. And the big baby bump had made it look more dangerous. She was seeking sympathy.

"I'm sorry, Hannah." Lillian came up to them quickly and burst out crying, and she even fell on her kneels in front of Hannah.

Hannah smiled lightly and watched her like a stupid joke. Oscar narrowed his eyes but didn't help Lillian rise to her feet.

"Trust me. I didn't know it would end up like this. Had I known it, I wouldn't have promised to help you escape."

Hannah said nothing and kept watching Lillian acting the play. She wanted to see how Lillian was going to put on the show to win Oscar's trust and forgiveness.

"I'm sorry, Hannah. I'm sorry, Oscar." Lillian was on her knees and said desperately, "I felt so guilty to hear you had a car accident! I thought I was doing the right thing but it turned out to be a disaster. When I heard Manuel and your baby were being rescued in the ICU, I even thought of killing myself. But the unborn baby in me..."

Lillian got more and more desperate as she went on. At that moment, it seemed she was the victim who had been hurt badly. What a play!

"So, are you trying to tell me you had nothing to do with the accident?" said Hannah calmly.

Lillian shook her head immediately, "No. I didn't know it would end up like this. I promised to help you escape because I didn't want to see you and Oscar hurting each other again. It's hard for you two to be apart, but I think time will heal. Well, I'm selfish. I hope Oscar could be devoted to our marriage, though we don't love each other and we got married for political purposes only. But what Oscar is doing is unreasonable and unaccepted. It would be a big scandal to him if someone exposed your love affair. All are equal before the law! Oscar has paid a great effort to take power and he can't just ruin it like that. You know what, it appears to be a peaceful and prosperous world, but the fact is, lots of people are still greedy for the throne. We can't see when it will come! To avoid the tragedy, I've made the bold decision to help you leave Oscar."

Hannah smiled again. It sounded like Lillian had done it out of righteous causes, and that she'd got no other choices and she'd done it for the good of everyone. What a solid reason! No one could blame her. Instead, people had to understand it and speak highly of it.

"I knew the best time to send you away was on my wedding day. Oscar would be too busy to stop you and then you could leave as planned. I would still do it without regret even if I would have to answer for it and be hated by Oscar for a lifetime. But... but I..." suddenly, she choked with sobs and couldn't go on. She bit back the words as if she was feeling worse than anyone else.

She freaked out and added, "But I didn't know Mathew would act on his own without telling us! I didn't imagine he would do such things behind the back of me and my father. Oh God! How I regret it! Had I known he had such a plan, I swore I wouldn't have told him to do it."

Oh, Mathew turned out to be the scapegoat.
