Chapter 933 Lillian's Escape (2) Hatred
Inside the warehouse, when Oscar pretended to leave, he suddenly saw something like a mark written on the floor next to his foot.
He turned on the light on the phone, lighting up the place around him.
There were some words written on the ground.
"Theodore!"
Theodore heard his voice and rushed into the warehouse all at once, fully alert. He worried that Lillian might want to die with Oscar at that moment. So he ran to Oscar without any delay.
"Oscar!"
Compared with him, Oscar was much calmer. He said, "Look at this."
Theodore lowered his head to see the floor and saw a locator, which had been put on Una and helped them replace this place. And he was shocked as he saw the words written with blood, "OSCAR, I HATE YOU!" "She found it!" Theodore was agitated about Lillian's discovery of the locator, knowing that Lillian must have misled them into getting here while she had run away somewhere else.
"Search the place!" Theodore ordered immediately.
The guards waiting at the door all rushed into the place and started searching.
After a while, one of them reported, "Commander, Captain, there's no sign of her."
Although that was an expected result, Lillian's escape was a fluke. Oscar was silent. Theodore could imagine how bad he felt inside. After all, Una Wells had just disappeared under their nose, and now, replaceing her back was like replaceing a needle in a haystack.
Theodore turned to order his subordinates, "Star canvassing the neighbourhood. Check any ferries and water vehicles departing from here since 3 PM today, and issue an all-points bulletin for Lillian. Once you have something, report it to me, no more moves, don't alert her."
"Yes, sir!"
The guards started moving . Theodore turned around and looked at Oscar. Following his gaze, he stared at the blood-written words Lillian had left behind. The words were clear as day. What kind of hatred would drive someone to write such gruesome words?
"Oscar," Theodore called out to him. He was genuinely concerned that Oscar might fall back into his world and get stuck again. He even wondered if Una faced any more threats, whether Oscar could handle it this time.
Oscar pursed his lips and said, "Una needs milk; we need to check all the places selling baby formula."
Theodore was taken aback for a moment, for he hadn't thought that far ahead. He was surprised that Oscar could still think clearly after everything that had happened. "Okay, I'll arrange it immediately," Theodore replied.
"Theodore," Oscar called out again.
"Yes?"
"Post news of my daughter Una's disappearance on all major media outlets and offer a large reward for anyone who replaces her, right now!" Oscar continued giving instructions. "But won't Lillian replace out we're looking for Una? Won't she do something extreme?" Theodore worriedly asked him.
"That's precisely what I want! I want her to feel threatened by how important Una is to me! I want her to use Una as leverage against me!" Oscar enunciated each word carefully.
Theodore instantly understood what he meant-if Lillian used Una against him, she would have no choice but to contact him directly. It was better than waiting around aimlessly hoping they'd replace some clue about where she might be hiding.
However, Theodore wasn't sure what the consequences of such actions would be like- he had no idea how far Oscar would go while being threatened by Lillian with Una Wells. If Lillian wanted him to die, Oscar could sacrifice himself.
News about Una Wells' disappearance spread like wildfire across various media outlets both big and small alike, causing an uproar throughout the entire country overnight! This news even made its way overseas eventually reaching Hannah who was living abroad.
Hannah had already settled down somewhere safe since leaving Northfield on that fateful day not too long ago. She knew deep down inside though nothing ever truly changed when dealing with people from "the Collins family"-Oscar still kept close tabs on them, regardless of where they went unless something drastic happened to the Collins family. It was obvious that the Collins family had come to an end. But Una became the victim.
The day Hannah left, Theodore told her everything about Oscar in a few words. He explained that they sent her away only because they were going after the Collins family and Oscar wanted to ensure her absolute safety.
To say she was touched would be an understatement. Sometimes when a heart died, it was hard to feel anything else. Now as she watched the news, all she could think about was what would happen if something did happen to Una Wells. Oscar wouldn't be able to handle it.
When Cian Wells died years ago, it dealt him a fatal blow-that wasn't even his fault but completely unexpected. This time with Una Wells' accident, he brought it upon himself by using her safety for his purposes. So if something happened to Una, then something would happen to Oscar too. Hannah understood all of this clearly.
She couldn't help but feel emotional at times though, especially when thinking about Una Wells, who was Cian's daughter. If anything happened to her then Hannah wouldn't be able to accept it either. "Hannah," Michelle suddenly called out to her and Hannah snapped back into reality as she rubbed her eyes nonchalantly trying not to let on how much this affected her.
Her mother walked over holding Salem in tow saying, "Your dad just saw on the news that there seems like there's trouble with the Collins family."
So now even Michelle knew what had happened in Northfield.
"They also said that Una Wells seems missing... do you know anything?" Michelle asked curiously, unable to resist prying further into things, which made Hannah remain silent indicating that she didn't want to discuss any further details at the present moment
"Did Oscar send us away because he wants revenge against the Collins family? Is he protecting us?" Michelle asked as realization dawned upon her.
"If so... is he trying to start over with you? Trying to give you and Salem a new home again?"
"If something happens with Una," said Hannah slowly enunciating each word, "then me and Oscar will never have another chance together."
