Chapter 926 The Outbreak of War (2)
"Oscar?" Lillian uttered with her hand clasping the phone tight. His call made her heart racing.
Lillian had no idea what Oscar called her for. With some expectation and distress, she answered it though it torture her at the same time.
"Is Una awake?" asked Oscar, sounding worried. His words of concern for her daughter made Lillian feel depressed. Whether Oscar was acting or treating her genuinely, he indeed gave his heart to her daughter, for whom he could even give up Hannah and his own son. Even if he had done this for Cian, Lillian was still touched by him. However, now, she was conspiring against him to murder him.
At the thought of this, tears filled her eyes. She was trying hard to hold back many words in her heart.
"Lillian?" Oscar's soft voice sounded again.
Lillian tried to calm herself down and said, "She hasn't woken up yet, still sleeping. Una is really a little sleepyhead."
There seemed to be a light chuckle from the other end, with an indulgent tone saying, "Children who sleep well will grow up well."
"Uh-huh."
"Lillian, are you crying?" Oscar still heard the faint sound of Lillian choking.
Lillian bit her lip. She was actually afraid that any small movement on her part would arouse Oscar's suspicion.
"I'll be back soon." Oscar's low and magnetic voice was incredibly gentle during this period of time. He was very tender towards her.
"In a while, I'll have someone send you a gift," Oscar said. "I'm not very good at being romantic."
Lillian's hand holding the phone trembled.
"I don't know what you like so I only prepared a bouquet of flowers." Oscar had some embarrassment in his tone, "I'll improve over time in the future."
Lillian had been feeling uncomfortable in her chest all along. She never expected that after leaving Northfield, Oscar would prepare a gift for her. Oscar was truly putting his heart into it for her sake. "I'm almost at the airport now. When I get there I'll contact you. Take care of yourself and Una." Oscar reminded.
"Okay."
In the end, Lillian still didn't say anything.
She chose her father.
But after hanging up the phone, Lillian cried. Tears kept falling down non-stop. Looking at Una who was still sound asleep on top of her made Lillian think about every little thing that happened between herself and Oscar.
Sorry, Oscar
We could only blame our fate for not allowing us to be together.
Her eyes turned cold as she prepared to give Una a hard pinch but then suddenly softened for just one second.
In her mind echoed what Oscar said-he would buy flowers for her. This was the first and the last time he gave a gift to her. And there wouldn't be another chance in the future. She felt reluctant
Lillian gritted her teeth and put Una back on the bed again. She wanted to wait a little longer until she received Oscar's gifts.
Anyway, Oscar had left Northfield already, which meant he was no threat to her.
Inside the car, Oscar put down his phone. Sitting next to him, Theodore saw his icy expression. At this moment, he somewhat understood why Oscar had to send Hannah away, and even chose to end things with her. Oscar probably couldn't accept his tenderness towards another woman, let alone Hannah.
The car arrived at the airport.
There was no doubt that the people around Oscar were mixed with members of the Collins family, who were monitoring his every move at this moment.
Oscar boarded the plane with Theodore and a group of bodyguards.
After sitting down, Oscar gave Theodore a look, and the latter understood what he meant in an instant. He got up and casually went to the bathroom naturally.
There, in that instant, he suddenly took out a weapon from his clothes and killed one of the bodyguards next to him on sight.
At the same time, at least half of them fell on the plane. It had been arranged earlier that once Theodore acted, Oscar's people would immediately act against others. Perhaps there would be innocent casualties, but anyone without any confidence could not be left by Oscar.
After dealing with everyone, Oscar and Theodore quickly changed their clothes. Before takeoff, they secretly got off the plane and sat in a car that had already been prepared for them back home.
At this moment, only a group of bodyguards were leaving on board. As for the two who had left, they had prepared an unexpected attack for Rowan.
In the castle, Lillian waited for quite some time. The flowers still hadn't arrived yet. She felt anxious but didn't want to leave just yet either.
She made up her mind to go several times but then chose to stay again instead. Every minute was like torture for her.
When her phone rang again Lillian was startled once more; she bit her lip tightly before finally answering, "Father."
"Why haven't you come out yet?" asked Rowan, a little vexed.
Lillian bit down harder on her lip.
"Lillian," Rowan interrupted coldly, "Don't do anything that will disappoint me; I'm already taking action now... We have nowhere else left, don't become our family's eternal sinner!"
"I know... I just..."
"Don't you understand? Oscar has left, you have to come out right now. If you don't, I'll make people force their way in. If there's really a conflict and harm comes to you and Una, I won't take responsibility!" Rowan's voice was cold and threatening.
"Well, I'll bring Una out right away," Lillian said, hesitant.
"Lillian, don't be soft-hearted. After this is over, I will make sure you live better than anyone else!" Rowan softened his tone when he heard his daughter speak like that. "Okay."
Lillian hung up the phone. She took a deep breath and finally made up her mind.
She picked up the sleeping Una and pinched her little butt hard. The sudden pain made Una cry loudly in a grievance. Lillian also felt sorry for her. But she had no choice but to do this to achieve her goal. She held Una anxiously and said, "Come on! Come on! Una suddenly cried so much that we need to send her to the hospital immediately!"
Lillian's anxious voice made the leader of the castle guards come forward respectfully, "Madam."
"Send a car to go to the hospital!"
"But Commander said during his absence..." The leader was clearly hesitant.
"If anything happens to Una while under your watchful eye will you take responsibility?!" Lillian asked him in a threatening manner.
The leader dared not speak any further.
"Prepare a car!" Lillian's face darkened.
The leader could only agree reluctantly, "Yes."
Thus, Lillian was escorted by the guards towards the hospital. Once they left here, it would be easy for them to get ambushed on their way.
Lillian looked back at the castle behind them, with her eyes red with tears. She knew very well that once she left here with Una, it would be forever goodbye.
