Chapter 920 "Goodbye, Oscar."

Chapter 920 "Goodbye, Oscar."

He watched as Salem clung to Hannah protectively as if he feared losing his mother forever. It was clear that Salem disliked him and rejected his attempts at bonding with him.

Oscar had wanted to hold onto Salem for just a little longer despite the crying because he didn't know when or if he would ever get another chance again. But he also knew that forcing himself on them would only make things worse between him and Hannah.

He didn't want to leave a bad impression on her any further than it already was.

Michelle noticed that Salem had returned back into Hannah's arms and went off to prepare some milk formula for him, while Oscar remained behind watching them silently.

Hannah thought about saying something several times but ultimately decided against it until Oscar left on his own accord.

Oscar was a reasonable person, who would not do anything out of control. When it was time for him to leave, he would leave himself.

As Michelle handed over the bottle of milk formula towards Hannah, who then proceeded with feeding little Salem; Oscar continued staring intently at both mother-and-child duo without moving an inch from where they were seated.

He knew what needed doing yet found himself unable due largely in part because of how he strongly attached to them emotionally. Although he had prepared for this result, he found it unacceptable to sustain the pain when it came. His throat moved slightly. Oscar kept staring at his son, who resembled him in appearance and who was sucking on a rubber teat enjoyably.

He also looked at Hannah, whose full attention was on Salem, her face naturally exuding maternal love that was beautiful and warm. Oscar carefully took note of every detail of their appearance, deeply engraving it in his mind.

"Are you staying here tonight?" Michelle suddenly asked Oscar, who felt a flutter in his chest. He really wanted to say yes, but it wasn't possible anymore. He hadn't even opened his mouth when Hannah spoke up.

"He's leaving soon. Mom, you can go do your own thing."

Michelle left the room and Hannah continued to focus on Salem. He had been overly excited today-maybe because he knew it was his birthday-and hadn't slept much during the day. Even though it wasn't too late yet, he had already fallen asleep while drinking milk from a bottle.

Hannah put down the bottle and picked up Salem, as Oscar still lingered there. She looked up at him and asked if he wanted to hold Salem now that he was asleep. Hannah thought Oscar would like to hold Salem.

Sometimes blood ties were hard to let go of; she dared not to imagine what would happen to her if she were forced to leave Salem behind.

But then Oscar shook his head. At first, he really wanted to but then changed his mind because he feared holding him would make letting go even harder than before, especially since this decision couldn't be delayed any longer.

Hannah furrowed her brow at Oscar's response. What did this mean? Why didn't he leave?

"I'll bring Salem upstairs for bed." She said as she prepared herself for departure; whatever happened with Oscar now didn't concern her anymore anyway.

"Do you hate me?" Suddenly Oscar asked Hannah out of nowhere.

Her body stiffened briefly before answering him honestly, "I used to."

She also used to love him too once upon a time, but those feelings belonged in the past now.

Oscar nodded silently in response.

"Leave early." Hannah urged, "Since you've made your choice, you should take responsibility for her and your family."

Oscar's throat was constantly rolling.

"Goodbye, Oscar."

"... Goodbye," Oscar murmured.

Hannah took Salem upstairs in her arms.

And Oscar left.

His steps were difficult and heavy as if carrying a thousand pounds on his back. Hannah stood on the balcony outside the second floor watching him leave from afar in the darkness of night. His tall figure seemed inexplicably lonely.

Even though she couldn't see his face clearly, she could feel that he was like a walking corpse.

Finally, Hannah's eyes turned red with tears streaming down her face, whether because she had let go or found relief. This experience had been etched into her memory forever. It was enough to make her cry. Oscar returned to the Capital late at night. When he arrived at the castle, he did not get out of the car. Since leaving Hannah behind earlier that day, he hadn't uttered a word until now, while smoking continuously in silence inside the car, with his bodyguard standing respectfully outside not daring to disturb him.

After some time passed, Oscar's phone rang. He glanced at it, seeing Theodore's call coming.

"Theodore."

His voice sounded low and hoarse as if coming from deep within an abyss. Theodore could sense how low Oscar felt even without seeing him just by hearing his voice over the phone line. "Are you back?" Theodore asked curiously since he had been keeping track of Oscar's movements all along. He found it strange that Oscar returned so quickly because he thought that Oscar would spend more time with Hannah and their son before returning home, for it had been such a long time since they last saw each other.

Was he getting more rational?

There wasn't much time left before Rowan found out about Oscar's returning to Kensbury so they needed to act fast while Rowan still didn't know anything yet. Clearly, Rowan didn't know about this thing yet. Theodore thought that perhaps Oscar had had a quarrel with Hannah or something, or he wouldn't have come back so soon if he had a good time there.

"I need you to prepare something; I'm sending Hannah abroad." Said Oscar bluntly, catching Theodore off guard with this sudden request.

Theodore thought he had misheard, "What did you say?"

"Send Hannah and Salem abroad," Oscar said, "in secret, to a safe country."

"Why?" Theodore didn't understand.

"I don't want them to take risks with me."

"But..." Theodore could of course imagine it, but by sending Hannah away like this, she could possibly be angry with Oscar.

She had fought so hard to leave him before and ended up suffering a lot from it. Now that she had finally settled down here, Oscar was sending her away. "Well, for both Hannah and Salem, I've already been the worst," Oscar said.

"Do we really have to go this far? How strong can Rowan be?!" Theodore felt they could take down Rowan.
