"Rowan is cunning and shrewd. If he dares make a move now then he must have his plan. Otherwise, when we were fighting against the Collins family and the Balderston family in the past, Rowan wouldn't have compromised. We held an advantage but couldn't necessarily deal with Rowan. But since Rowan chose to let go at that time, it showed his caution." Oscar analyzed, "We can't underestimate him."

Theodore also knew this truth of course.

But he still felt they could kill the old man Rowan no matter how sly he was. It would just require sacrificing more lives than usual. However, from a larger perspective, some sacrifices were necessary. Oscar wasn't an indecisive person.

"And also," Oscar said again. "I can only protect one person."

Theodore's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he truly understood Oscar's intentions. He didn't want history to repeat itself.

Back then there was Hannah and Cian, and he lost Cian. But he never blamed Hannah for anything; he thought it was his fault for not being strong enough at that time. Now facing another situation involving Hannah, Salem and Una, he wouldn't let something like that happen again.

"If you do this, will you lose Hannah?" Theodore couldn't help asking out loud.

Knowing what kind of person Oscar was like from their previous interactions, Oscar wouldn't tell his inner thoughts about all of these things to Hannah until everything had been settled once-and-for-all.

If things happened like this, Hannah would misunderstand Oscar. Since she had a level-headed personality, once she accepted what Oscar had chosen and gave him up, it would be impossible for Oscar to get her back. No matter how deep their feelings were, they could still become disheartened and broken.

"Yes." Oscar nodded in agreement with Theodore.

Regardless of the outcome, Hannah was only getting further away from him. Ever since the accident, Hannah had been eager to leave him. At that time, Oscar had already prepared himself for losing her. This extra year felt like it was all earned by him. It was enough.

Theodore sighed heavily once again.

"You've been through a lot, Theodore," Oscar said in response.

"I'm fine, I just worry about you getting depressed!" Theodore couldn't help but express his concern for his friend's well-being.

Oscar seemed to spend most of his time now in silence without any hint of emotion on his face. He felt like he was closing off into his world more and more each day-if this continued much longer, he might become depressed enough to die.

"I'm hanging up now." Without responding further to Theodore's words, Oscar hung up the phone and leaned back against the car seat with a heavy sigh.

He even felt like being able to afford depression would be an indulgence. Then he extinguished the last cigarette butt before opening the car door and walking into the castle.

When he was heading for his room, Lillian called out for him as soon as she saw him come home late at night, "Oscar, Did you eat dinner yet?"

She asked with feigned concern. She had just received a call from her father, saying that Oscar went out earlier today towards Kensbury, so she got up from her bed and went to check if he was in his room. The moment she saw him, Lillian felt disappointed, for they were waiting for an opportunity when they could take down Oscar once and for all-an opportunity that seemed missed again tonight.

"Lillian."

Suddenly hearing her name spoken in such a tone, Lillian's heart started racing. Despite everything else going on between them now, there remained an undeniable attraction for this man. Even just hearing her name spoken by him sent shivers down her spine. But she tried hard not to let herself get carried away by these emotions.

"It's over, between Hannah and me," Oscar said in a low voice.

It seemed like he was grieving, yet also trying to remain calm.

Lillian was surprised. She couldn't believe what Oscar had just said. She always thought that Oscar would never let go of Hannah. Even though he hadn't returned to Kensbury for a long time because of Una, Lillian knew very well about Oscar's feelings towards Hannah. How could they just end like this? Was Oscar playing some kind of trick again?

Lillian felt doubtful but also excited deep down inside her heart.

If Oscar ended things with Hannah, did that mean they could further develop their relationship?

"I went back to Kensbury today," Oscar confessed.

Lillian tried to control her emotions as she listened intently.

So he did leave before. But the time was too short and Rowan wasn't ready yet, so he came back again. It was hard to replace any flaws in this man.

"Today is Salem's first birthday." Oscar continued speaking softly.

"Really?" Lillian forced herself to smile and replied, "I forgot all about it. Happy birthday to Salem."

"When I saw him today, he didn't want me anymore." He spoke as if talking about someone else, "When I held him, he cried loudly."

"You were only there for a short while; kids are like that, whoever they're with at the moment is who they'll like best. If they don't see someone often enough then they'll become afraid and avoid them altogether." Lillian appeared comforting but wanted to provoke him further, "Una does the same thing, she cries when she sees strangers but since you've been taking care of her since she was little, she clings onto you tightly now."

She added more fuel by comparing the time he spent with Una and his son, Salem.

"I used to think that I could balance both sides."Oscar continued speaking while ignoring her intentions.

Lilian looked at him closely, thinking that Oscar seemed different from his usual self.

"I always thought that while taking care of you and Una, I could also take care of Hannah and Salem. But when I went back to Kensbury today, I realized how wrong I was." Oscar chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Hannah and Salem don't need me anymore. I feel like a stranger to them now."

"Oscar, don't say that. You've just been too busy." Lillian tried to console him.

"That's why I decided to let go." Oscar seemed not to have heard what Lillian said as if he just wanted to get everything off his chest.

Lillian pursed her lips.

Her heart was still in turmoil because of Oscar's words. But she couldn't fully trust him yet.

"Let's live well from now on," Oscar said slowly and deliberately towards Lillian. Suppressing her emotions, Lillian asked him, "Are you willing to let go of Hannah and Salem?"

Oscar didn't give a direct answer. He only said, "I don't want two women getting hurt for me again."
