Chapter 869 An Unexpected Kiss

When Oscar returned to Hannah's ward, he found she was using an electric breast pump with the help of the medical staff.

Since this was the early stage of milking, Hannah must hurt. Moreover, the process gave rise to uterine contraction. Hannah just gnashed and endured.

Half an hour later, there were only 50 millilitres of breast milk. But according to the nurses, this was enough for a newborn baby whose stomach was tiny. Then they left with the milk, while the other one started to clean Hannah's breast. Whenever the sucking was over, there would be a cleaning procedure following.

But Oscar moved forward and said to the paramedic, "Let me help her."

Then the paramedic followed hurriedly his instruction.

With a glimpse at her new helper, Hannah did not object.

Watching her naked breast which turned significantly red and swollen, Oscar asked, "Does it hurt?"

Hannah replied with a smile, "Not much."

The scene prickled Oscar.

"I am a newcomer in motherhood." Said Hannah.

The reply intensified the prickles in Oscar's heart. For a new mother, this should be a loving moment to be around her baby. However, her baby was still in the incubator, at stake.

He started to concentrate on cleaning. Whenever the pump touched her, Hannah shivered uncontrollably with pain. Oscar watched her in concern.

"It does hurt, but just a bit."

Oscar nodded in silence, with his hands getting gentler and gentler.

"How about Lillian? Is she OK?" Hannah asked naturally.

"She's fine," Oscar answered casually.

"Great." Hannah murmured, "It scares me whenever I recollected the scene of Lillian's falling. If that hurts the baby because of me, I will put my life in guilt."

"Hannah, please don't. That's not your fault." Oscar said. The most unbearable for him was watching Hannah bear the hurt or blame she didn't need to. He knew he had hurt her a lot and he didn't want her to endure whatever came to her.

"I mean it. Cian's child must be kept. So Lillian must be safe and sound." Said Hannah seriously.

Oscar was calming down the emotional tides in his heart.

"Please try your best to take care of her, just in case."

Oscar nodded in silence.

"But..." Hannah seized her words with a gaze at Oscar.

"But what?" Oscar cooed.

He never raised his voice before Hannah as if she was a scared bird. And he must be a cautious birdkeeper.

Hannah was curious if Oscar treated Lillian the same way. But if so, she thought it was acceptable anyway. When she was calm down, she did not hurt the baby in Lillian's.

"Lillian said that my accident was planned by Mathew."

Oscar confirmed with a nod, "Should be."

He did suspect the initiator was Lillian. But soon his suspicion perished, for Lillian in his observation was less ambitious. So it was less impossible to kill Hannah. But the rest of the Collins family did have the motivation to ensure the sole right of inheritance for their blood.

"I don't want to hurt Lillian's baby, but it doesn't mean I can allow the culprit at large." Hannah added, "Someone should be blamed for what Manuel and our baby are suffering."

"I swear, the culprit must be held accountable." Promised Oscar.

"But will it make troubles to you?"

"Never."

"If Lillian insists to cover Mathew, and that might cause any harm to her baby, then just let go of it," Hannah said with considerable sincerity.

"I know how to make it right." Oscar put it straight.

"I trust you." Hannah smiled at him.

Oscar was lost in her smile for he could not remember when was the last time she had smiled at him like that. When he heard of the car crash, he thought he might lose her, for good. He could not dream that he still had a chance to see her smiling at him.

By the love that flooded his heart, Oscar was pushed to approach Hannah. Seeing the man getting closer and closer, Hannah slowly closed her eyes. She had prepared for herself when she decided to stay, including enduring Oscar's kiss.

This was a cautious kiss, like a butterfly shivering its wings when landing on a flower. He just pressed a gentle kiss on her lips, without entering.

As soon as Oscar was going to withdraw, he suddenly opened his eyes in shock. He could not believe Hannah was kissing him back, even stretching her tongue into his lips, playing with his.

Oscar controlled his inflaming desire with all his sensory faculty tracing Hannah's lure. At last, he could not control more but hold her into his arms to extend the kiss.

At that moment, a woman stood at the door. Lillian just watched them glueing together in silence.

She thought, after the car crash, they could have no chance to reconcile. Hannah, as she learned, would not consign herself to be around Oscar who must give up any effort to keep Hannah after he saw her resolution to leave him. So even though Hannah could survive the plot, they were impossible to be together any more.

But the scene before broke Lillian's secret wish. Was her knowledge about Hannah far from enough?

Her fist was tightened out of anger, and her sight turned vicious due to envy.

Her eyes shrank suddenly out of shock when she saw the woman before squinted back at her.

With his back facing Lillian, Oscar was impossible to spot her, while Hannah caught her. Their sights tangled together in acrimony.

So was Hannah provoking her on purpose?

Lillian must yell out of fury if she could. But she repressed and turned around to leave.

Hannah had a gift to know where her rival's Achilles heel was.

Lillian was clear, it was foolish to interrupt the couple at the moment. For one thing, the awkward disturbance would be translated as a sign of a loser before Hannah; for the other, her secret love might be exposed. Once Oscar detected her fancy, she must be dangerous.

Seeing Lillian's moving further, Hannah pushed Oscar away. Her judge was correct that her enemy, Lillian, was smart enough to keep silent about what she had seen. At the moment Hannah might be the only one who discovered Lillian's interest in Oscar.

Feeling the slight move by Hannah, Oscar released her at once.

The air seemed frozen by the embarrassment caused by the unexpected kisses. None of them had expected they had such intimate behaviour again so soon.

Oscar asked in a dull voice, "Do you need to have a walk?"

Suitable sports would be good for a new mother after a cesarean.

"Yes." Hannah nodded.

Then she held up Oscar's hands, and they strolled around the little ward, with their fingers crossed.
