Chapter 948 Oscar's Choice (2)
Oscar's words echoed on the sea level, firm and resolute. He looked as if he was ready to die with them. At that moment, Lillian believed that Oscar would die with them, choosing to go down together. She didn't know if this was what she wanted. If it weren't for Hannah's appearance, maybe this would be what she wanted. But Hannah's words made her think more deeply-revenge against Oscar while letting Una live a good life.
Lillian trembled because of Oscar's determination, leaving her confused for a second. The detonator button was in her hand between her fingers. Pressing it lightly would destroy everyone on the boat. Hannah watched Lillian lose control of herself and saw how emotional she was. She turned around and shouted at Oscar loudly, "Una is innocent!"
Oscar felt pain in his heart. He didn't need Hannah to persuade him or even scare him as this moment did now. He didn't want to waver or have any moments of hesitation; he didn't want to live in this world anymore.
"She's only one year old! She's Cian's daughter. She shouldn't bear our grudges!" Hannah glared at Oscar fiercely while saying, "Don't be so selfish, Oscar!"
He looked at Hannah with red eyes and shook his head repeatedly, trying to stop her from speaking further.
"Since you've come this far and taken responsibility for your family's actions, you must do everything you should do as a member of the Wells family, who has inherited their legacy through generations. The Wells family sacrificed their lives for their dynasty! After so many people shed blood paving the way back into power, are you gonna abandon everything? Can you justify yourself before them? Can you justify yourself before your deceased brother?" Hannah questioned him loudly.
"Stop talking about it, Hannah." Said Oscar hoarsely as he lowered his voice.
He had heard enough of those national righteousness speeches, which had brought him too much torture since childhood.
"Oscar, you can't be so selfish!"
Oscar just kept staring at Hannah in front of him, though tears blurred his eyes.
"Make a good choice." Said Hannah.
Her words could defeat all his strength.
He didn't want to make the choice.
Lillian was watching them coldly from the side. Now she realized that Oscar was not an unfeeling man. He just had no feelings for her, while with Hannah, he had been always loving and affectionate. Lillian put on a bitter smile.
So, if he chose Hannah, they would die together. But if he chose Una Wells, he would be paralyzed with the agony of losing Hannah. The latter was what Lillian wanted. Hannah not only knew Oscar well, but also saw through her. If everything had not happened, perhaps she and Hannah would become friends. But that was another story. Lillian's cold-blooded voice sounded again, "For Hannah's sake, I'll give you another chance. I'll count to ten, if you don't choose within ten, I'll hit the button!" Oscar's throat knot kept rolling up and down. The tremendous emotions he was suppressing were so great that he could barely handle it.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"I
11
"Three!" Lillian raised her voice and paused for a bit longer.
When she was about to count to "Two", Una suddenly burst into crying.
It was the first time the little one had cried out loud since Lillian's escape.
The cries were so aggressive, which made Lillian have a moment of weakness. And that made an impact on the other two as well.
Hannah could notice that Oscar was suffering an anguished moment inside, and she said, "You got Una involved, so it's your responsibility to get Una out."
Oscar was all choked up, failing to say any words.
Lillian soon regained her indifference.
She continued to count, "Two!"
Hannah was waiting desperately for Oscar's choice, with her eyes fixed on him.
"One..."
"Una." Oscar finally uttered.
Though his voice was indistinct, it was audible.
He had made his choice-Una Wells. At the last minute, he gave up on Hannah. This was the answer Hannah wanted. However, Hannah did feel pain inside at that instant.
She had said it before-Oscar would choose Una but not her. She had been aware of that all the time, and that was why she wanted to leave him so much.
Hannah did not want to make things difficult for Oscar but she was unwilling to compromise either.
Finally, it was over, the relationship between her and Oscar. And she would never owe Cian Wells a life. However, all those feelings did not come to the surface. Oscar was afraid to look at her again at that moment.
"Are you sure?" Lillian asked.
She was relieved to get this answer, which was what she wanted. And she meant to torture Oscar more.
"You chose Una, Hannah will have to die with me!"
Oscar was bleeding from the mouth, which was caused by his bite on himself. And he swallowed the blood in his throat down.
"Hmm." Oscar gave his response.
Hannah remained calm.
"So Hannah, is there anything you want to say? Before you die, let you leave a last message!" Lillian had a kind face.
Hannah looked at Oscar, who noticed her gaze and finally forced himself to meet her eyes.
"Oscar, we have written off everything between us."
"I owe your family my life, and I pay it back." Hannah continued.
Oscar was tempted to tell her that it was never her who owed a life. It was he, who deserved to die.
"Salem..." Hannah was choked up when she said her son's name.
Oscar looked at her closely. For the first time, he felt so incompetent.
"Take care of him for me."
The moment she said it, she shed tears.
