Chapter 935 Hannah'S Determination
Chapter 935 Hannah's Determination
Hannah put down her phone, feeling heavyhearted after agreeing to Theodore's request. He had prepared for the worst, believing that Lillian would seek revenge against Oscar by taking Una with her in a suicidal act of vengeance. This would undoubtedly be the ultimate form of retribution, but Lillian was not the type to go out so quietly.
Oscar must have known this too, and that was why he chose to reveal Una's situation to the world-it was all part of his plan to lure Lillian out into the open.
Theodore couldn't see past his fears and concerns, so he did everything in his power to protect Oscar.
Hannah was lost in thought and too invested in her worries. Michelle walked up beside her without being noticed and said, "Hannah."
Startled by Michelle's sudden appearance and voice, Hannah asked what was wrong.
"Who called you? You seem distracted." Michelle said with concern.
Hannah looked over at Salem who stared back at her with big eyes before breaking into a smile that revealed his tiny teeth as he reached out for a hug saying, "Hug..."
She picked him up and held him close. Salem's soft little body seemed like all she needed right now. For Oscar though, Una Wells might be what kept him going. At the thought, Hannah squeezed Salem tighter as if trying to hold onto something precious before letting go when she realized how uncomfortable it made Salem feel as he squirmed away from her grasp.
Michelle noticed something off about Hannah's behaviour towards Salem and asked again what was wrong. Hannah released Salem from her embrace reluctantly and handed him over to her mother, while little Salem dove into Michelle's arms. Hannah was still gazing longingly at her son as she replied, "I need to go back to Northfield."
"What?! Why?" exclaimed Michelle loudly enough for Miguel who came rushing over asking "What happened?"
"Dad! I need to go back to Northfield."
"Why? All of us? Did Oscar ask that?!" asked Miguel, agitated.
"We won't go back! It was he who had asked us to leave, and now he regrets the decision. Though I know he has a reason, I'm unwilling to be ordered around like this. Temper, you see, I've got one myself. We're not leaving!" Michelle spoke with feelings since she still bore some grudges against Oscar.
"You're such an old lady." Miguel rolled his eyes at her and said, "When you left Northfield you complained about everything being different here. Now that it's time to go back you don't want to go?" He turned towards Hannah and said, "Don't listen to your mom. If it's time for us to go back then let's do it."
Hannah watched their interaction with amusement as they bickered but cared for each other. She smiled slightly but her eyes were red.
"I'll be the one going back first." She said.
As for her parents, they would probably follow soon after.
Miguel was surprised by what his daughter had just said.
"Theodore had just called me. It isn't Oscar's idea. But something is wrong with Oscar, Theodore wanted me to come back to help." Hannah explained. "What happened?" Miguel asked anxiously.
"It's nothing major." Hannah reassured him, "I'll take care of it myself and if there are no other issues I will come pick you guys up."
"But I'm worried about you going alone."
"Don't worry. The Collins family is completely defeated now. No one will threaten me anymore." She added, "Oscar won't do anything harmful towards me either." Miguel still felt uneasy despite her words of reassurance. Even though things seemed settled over there already.
"Are you pressured into it?" asked Miguel.
He knew Oscar would not harm Hannah. But since Hannah had given up Oscar, if he forced her to stay with him, Miguel was afraid that it would be like what it used to be. "No, he didn't pressure me." Hannah laughed and continued, "I admit that I was forced to stay with him before. But this time, I'll go back willingly."
Miguel was still agitated, feeling like there would be something big happened once Hannah went back, although everything in Northfield had already been settled down.
"I'm leaving soon anyway." Hannah didn't want any more questions or concerns from her father so she changed the subject quickly, "Theodore will send someone tonight latest."
"So soon?!" Michelle couldn't help but ask. She thought Hannah would leave tomorrow at the earliest.
Hannah nodded her head. If it was not that urgent, Theodore would have asked her to leave tonight.
"But I haven't prepared for that," Michelle said, sulky.
Hannah looked at her mother, her father and Salem.
"I'll be back soon." Said she.
"It's your decision, we'll be supportive of whatever you wanted to do. But remember Hannah, don't compromise yourself. It's not a problem that we'll live here for the rest of our lives." Michelle said, "Though we don't know anyone here, it's not bad to stay here. It'll be an adjustment."
"Alright." Hannah smiled at her. She was grateful that her parents had been always supportive of her decisions, no matter how much trouble she brought them. Though she was emotional, she had to hold back all her feelings, for she didn't want them to worry.
"I want to hold Sal more." Said Hannah.
Michelle handed Salem to her. Then Hannah went to the garden outside the villa holding her son in her arms. She walked to the gazebo and put Salem on the table. The little boy smiled a lot. As long as he didn't feel uncomfortable, he would reveal always his tiny little teeth smiling at Hannah. Seeing her adorable son, Hannah had more difficult feelings inside.
"Sal, if Mama doesn't come back..."
Her voice was choking with sorrow while talking to her son. She felt she couldn't bear her feelings anymore. Salem was too young to understand but he knew Hannah was sad at this moment, staring with his innocent eyes at his mother.
"If Mama doesn't come back when you grow up, you help Mama take good care of Grandpa and Grandma, okay?" Hannah said gently.
Salem waved his little chubby hands and wanted to dive into Hannah's arms. Hannah immediately hugged him tight, while Salem wrapped his arms around Hannah's neck tightly, as if he was comforting her with all his strength.
Her eyes were filled with tears.
Sorry, Salem. I can't guarantee I'll watch you grow up.
