Chapter 866 Sympathy

Theodore felt bad to see Hannah's cold face. He knew Hannah had suffered a lot and it was hard to forget and forgive it. He was sure that Oscar wouldn't just let go at that, but he still could bear to see her caring none about Cian's child. No matter what had happened, Cian had died for her. She would have been dead if Cian hadn't saved her with his life. Did she forget it? Couldn't she feel anything after being hurt by Oscar?

Theodore couldn't help it any more, "Hannah, enough!"

Hannah smiled. See? That was why she called it a good drama. Even Theodore had stood on her side. Hannah didn't blame him. In the first place, Theodore and she were only friends with mutual goals. Once their goals drifted apart, their friendship collapsed.

She looked up at Theodore and asked, "I should just let it go, right? Manuel and my baby are still in danger. And I should just grind and bear it, right?"

"Nothing would have happened if you didn't leave Oscar!" Theodore lost it and blurted out.

Hannah lowered her eyes. Right. She asked for it. Nothing would have happened if she hadn't tried to leave Oscar. She faked a light smile.

Seeing it, Theodore felt bad again. He didn't mean to blame Hannah but didn't think she should be so mean to Lillian since she didn't do it herself. The worst case was that they would break the stalemate with the Collins family and started another war. There was no need to be so mean to an innocent woman and Cian's child.

"Theodore, have you ever loved someone?" asked Hannah.

Theodore was stunned and shook his head immediately, "Nope, and I don't know how much one can love someone. I can't understand why Oscar and Manuel have lost themselves and suffered a lot for women. So, I can't understand the love between you guys."

"You don't understand love, so you can't feel the pain when you're in love with someone and see him falling in love and even having babies with someone else. You can't understand the sadness and bitterness that I suffered when I saw Oscar being with the other woman. You can't feel it. It was worse than killing you. I just wanted to get rid of such an awful life. I just wanted to leave, forget this relationship and start over again! I don't know what I've done wrong."

She didn't want to speak her mind before, because she believed it was unnecessary. But, she didn't want to suck with it any more. She didn't want to be the bad person while Lillian had made herself an innocent victim. She didn't need to be blamed and criticized. More importantly, she also needed Theodore to have her back.

Lillian had acted pathetic to seek sympathy. As Lillian won more and more supporters, it would be more and more difficult for Hannah to seek revenge. Theodore was out of words. It was true that he had never loved someone so much in his life, but he seemed to feel the pain and sadness in her tone.

"But Oscar had no other choice. He married Lillian for Cian's baby." Theodore defended Oscar.

"Why didn't he tell me?"

"He didn't tell you because he didn't want you to be guilty and make yourself understand him. He didn't tell you because he wanted to suffer all by himself and didn't want you to pay for it." "Anyway, I was hurt, right?" asked Hannah.

Theodore bit his lips and got nothing else to talk back.

"In this relationship, I don't think Oscar is wrong. Neither is Lillian. Karma is a bitch. I'm ready to drop out of the shit and let him stay a happy couple with Lillian. I can take it no matter if it's for Cian or the reign of the Wells family. But why must he satisfy his needs in such a selfish way?"

"He was afraid that he would lose you for good once he let you go." Defended Theodore.

Hannah smiled and burst into tears, "You think he still has me? Besides me, he'll possibly lose his cousin and his child!"

"He didn't see that coming, either. Trust me. He's done a lot for you. He even left you the best guards to protect you."

"To house arrest me."

"Anyway, Oscar did it out of love."

"He hurt me and everyone in the name of love."

Once again, Theodore was speechless, as if whatever he said was unreasonable. Indeed, Hannah was deeply hurt. And Oscar had caused it all. Theodore didn't know what else to say and thought it had gone out of his league. He'd better shut it and compromise.

Lillian got worried. She knew the only person who would stand on her side was Theodore. Oscar could do anything for Hannah. She was afraid he would realize it as Hannah wished.

"Hannah, please stop fighting with Theodore." She interrupted immediately.

Hannah put on a sarcastic smile. See? Lillian was playing the good person again. She was so smart that she knew who she should drag over to her side.

"OK." Hannah said, "Theodore was right that I shouldn't let Cian's child pay for what your family have done. I wasn't thinking."

Lillian narrowed her eyes, wondering what the catch was this time. One second ago, Hannah was bloody cold but she looked very kind at this time. Was she putting on a show? To whom? Did she also realize the best policy was to seek sympathy, not fight fire with fire?

"Your brother should answer for it since he's done it. That's what the law says. The act of the party should be responsible for his sins. No scapegoats!" said Hannah.

Lillian gritted her teeth, realizing that Hannah had never thought of punishing her in the first place. Whatever she said and did was telling people that she was determined to get to the bottom of it. She also knew Hannah could do nothing with her. Tons of people would stop Hannah from hurting her and it would also give her a bad name.
