Chapter 867 Miguel and Michelle

Lillian kept wordless. She would not surrender easily, for she would try her best to keep her brother alive til the end.

"Have your brother give himself up." Said Hannah, cold and impatient.

Then she turned to leave.

"Hannah, please. Please let him off! My brother did that just for me. Please forgive him. He is regretting what he has done and is locked down by my father. He had paid for that." Lillian begged. "Really? Then he should pay for the cost. But according to you, I don't think your brother paid for it." Hannah refused.

Lillian was frustrated by her refusals time after time, even after she had unveiled that her baby was Cian's blood. Hannah did not sway and if she insisted on putting Mathew to justice, there would be no way to save him. Though Lillian had prepared for the worst, she would not surrender to Hannah so easily.

"The key of the cost that he should pay, as I understand," Hannah added, "is equality. For example, Manuel and my baby are in serious injury; then the culprit should suffer the same; and if they cannot survive, your brother should go with them."

"But... but..." Lillian could not continue the sentence. Her face seemed full of sorrow, while her heart was in deep loathing; and she must have killed the woman before if she could. She didn't expect Hannah could be so merciless, for she was begging without dignity but still failed to change her mind.

Lillian's face was distorted by pain. She stared at Hannah and said painfully, "If you insist..." However, she fell on the ground, unconscious, before she completed the line.

Luckily Theodore was agile enough to fetch her, holding her in his arms. Lillian looked pale in extreme weakness. But Hannah turned a blind eye to them with a poker face; she just passed coldly by them and went out of the ward. She did not care if Lillian was truly in a coma, for it was impossible to feel sympathy or pity for this woman.

Oscar kept silent from the start. Hannah had no idea how he would deal with it, for it did not matter. What mattered was the way she could achieve her goal.

She heard Theodore's anxious calling for a doctor and saw the corridor getting chaotic afterwards. But they all turned out to be a meaningless background, unable to disturb her thoughts. So Cian's baby was Lillian's powerful safeguard. There was no way for her to fight against Lillian, at least during her pregnancy.

Hannah returned to her bed and tiredness caught her. There might be hard to replace the other new mother like her, walking so far, standing so long, and going through so many challenges, both physical and mental, just on the second day after her cesarean.

She needed some rest and her sole duty for the time being turned to get herself recover and stay strong, for she couldn't die at this time.

She slept soon after her lying down. During her slumber, a visitor came quietly and sat by her, wordless.

When she woke up, she was surprised to replace Oscar beside her, since she thought he must stay with Lillian, and got puzzled when he came back to her.

Watching the man resting his head on his arms on her bed, she thought he must sit on the lounge and stayed sleepless for the last night, with some infrequent snaps when he was too tired but soon getting awake again. This was a sleepless night indeed, and she had suffered the same.

Who could keep a sound appetite for sleep after so many had happened?

And she could not be sure if she had slept for an half hour just now for nightmares haunted her.

She shifted away her sight from the man to the ceiling and was lost in a stupor without interference in his dreams.

At length, Oscar was wakened up by Miguel and Michelle who came in to visit their daughter. Fortunately, they and her grandmother were just slightly concussed, which could be fine after a day of rest. They were not nice when they saw Oscar who kept quiet under their significant acrimony.

"Hannah, how do you feel now? I just heard from the nurse who said you walked around the hospital after you could leave the bed. How dare you? Too much exercise after surgery might be harmful to your cut." Michelle was concerned, ignoring Oscar as if he was invisible.

"I did so because I was sure I was capable. And now I am resting on the bed, right?" Hannah comforted.

"Don't push yourself," Michelle added.

"I won't." Hannah obeyed with a nod.

She had to ease her family's worry as much as she could.

"Are you hungry?" Michelle asked, "I have the maid to send meals. I guess she might arrive soon."

"Great." Hannah nodded.

Michelle sat beside, chatting with Hannah in concern, while Miguel followed her with infrequent interference.

The loving family did not pay any attention to the awkward outsider, Oscar.

Then Cooper's maid came in with lunch.

The lunch boxes were simple but nutritious, specially made for Hannah who just went through a cesarean. However, Hannah did not have a good appetite, so she just took some with her self-motivation. Her parents stayed with her for lunch, while Oscar was ignored, intentionally. No one invited him, and he did not request either. Anyway, he was not their family any more.

After lunch, Hannah persuaded her parents back to their ward because she felt sleepy. Though her parents were unwilling to leave, they were at length subject to her persuasion and went out with their glaring eyes at Oscar. If their ex-son-in-law was not the Commander-in-chief, they must have given him a good fight.

Hannah made an effort to keep a faint smile at them.

After her parents left, she turned to Oscar and explained, "Please forgive them for their affection for me."

At last, she spoke to him. However, he was not pleased, for her effort to please him was the least he needed; and he knew, her existing compromise was only for revenge.

"It's understandable for their animosity." Said he.

"How about your lunch?" Hannah shifted the subject. It would sound fake for her too-much consolation; moreover, she was tired of talking too much with Oscar.

"Max will send it soon," Oscar replied.

"Max now must harbour abundant detestation to me," Hannah murmured.

No one could stay peaceful after he was tricked.

"He won't," Oscar confirmed.

For Oscar, Max must not, for this was only a relationship of requiring and obeying. Max would do whatever he instructed anyway.

"How is Lillian?" Hannah suddenly raised another question.
