Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth
Chapter 1099

Chapter 1099 A Mother and Son

Hannah naturally saw Salem approaching her. She quickly crouched down, wanting to embrace him in her arms. But Salem stopped just one step away from her, not rushing into her embrace as she expected. Hannah was surprised and a little disappointed. Was Salem angry? Because today, she didn't have as much time to spend with him and hadn't spent quality time with him at all. She even abandoned him once when she got in the wedding car, thinking it was Oscar's intention and didn't even look back at Salem.

Salem was still a child; he couldn't understand everything that was going on around him. So was he mad at her for leaving?

"Miss Besse," Salem respectfully called out to her while deliberately keeping his distance from her, appearing very restrained.

Hannah felt a pang in her heart seeing how distant he was being towards his mother. Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, she said, "Salem, I am your mother."

Salem looked at Hannah incredulously; he couldn't believe what he had just heard. Susan told him that because his mom had started a new life for herself now and couldn't be disturbed by them anymore so he could not call Hannah "Mom". He had been calling Hannah "Miss Besse" all day long but since his mom never objected or corrected it before so he thought this was what she wanted too.

He prepared himself mentally for the fact that his mom would never come back to be with him again but as long as there was still hope of having a mother figure in his life then it was enough for now. Salem knew that he wasn't born out of rocks made everything better already. He didn't need his mom to take care of him or anything like that. As long as she was happy, everything would be okay.

Tears welled up in Salem's eyes; they flowed down uncontrollably despite his trying hard not to cry. He dared not to call her " Mom". Hearing those words from Hannah made him feel so happy. But he didn't understand what made him cry.

Seeing Salem crying brought tears to Hannah's eyes too. No matter how many hardships they faced together throughout their lives together with Oscar, there was only one thing about which she regretted, abandoning Salem.

Everything she had done was unfair to Salem, including giving up her life for Una. Because of her, Salem didn't have a mother.

Right now though, because there were some things left unfinished on Hannah's end preventing them from reuniting immediately after such a long separation period. She could only leave Salem behind multiple times, which caused immense pain and loss for this little boy.

In this life, the only person Hannah felt indebted to was Salem. She wiped away his tears and apologized with a choked voice, "I'm sorry Sal, it's all my fault. Mom feels sorry."

But Salem shook his head immediately. At that moment, he used his own small hands to clumsily wipe away Hannah's tears. Summoning up courage, he called out, "Mom," He said those words in a tender voice that was also choked with emotion. Hannah's heart ached.

"Don't cry, Mom," said Salem as he cried and wiped her tears away. "When you cry, I feel really sad."

"Okay," replied Hannah gently as she tried to hold back her tears. "I won't cry anymore and neither should you."

Salem nodded quickly and used his sleeve to wipe away any remaining traces of tears from his eyes.

The two just looked at each other for a while until suddenly Salem burst into laughter, revealing a sweet smile on his face that even managed to make Hannah laugh too.

"What are you laughing at?" she asked him curiously.

Salem blushed slightly since he still felt somewhat unfamiliar around her but then replied shyly, "I just think children who have moms are so lucky."

He laughed again because he felt so happy about it all. This warmed Hannah's heart even more. She asked, "Don't you hate me? After all, I left you behind?"

"Nope!" exclaimed Salem quickly before adding earnestly, "I know there must have been some reason why my mom had to leave me behind when she did it. I'm sure you still love me! My dad told me once that Mom had no choice but to leave us because of him, that's why we shouldn't blame you."

Hannah listened quietly as Salem spoke these words, which made her feel speechless for a moment.

"Mom, don't you love Dad anymore?"

"Would it make you sad if I said yes?"

"No," Salem replied reassuringly, "Although I wish my parents could be together again someday, I know love can't be forced upon anyone else. If being with Dad doesn't make Mom happy then they shouldn't stay together."

"As long as Mom doesn't ignore me, I will support whatever decision you make."

Hannah couldn't help herself any longer. She pulled her son into her embrace filled with gratitude and affection.

The more careful Salem was with her, the more afraid he was that she would leave him again, and the more guilty she felt.

She never thought about inflicting the emotional pain between her and Oscar onto a child, it would be cruel. The fact was that Salem had been enduring all along. She hugged him tightly and said, "Salem, Mom will always be your mom. Mom will never leave Salem again."

"Um." Salem heard his mother crying and couldn't help but cry again

They were tightly hugging each other.

When they reunited, the strong bond of blood made it hard for them to let go.

Later, there was a sudden sound in the hallway.

The painful cry reminded them of Susan, who was still in labour now. She had been silent before, probably because she hadn't had an outbreak yet. Hannah quickly let go of Salem and stood up, leading him towards the door of the delivery room. Behind the door, intermittent cries of pain from Susan began to be heard. Salem heard a sound and felt scared. "Mom, is Auntie Susan in pain?" he asked. "Hmm," Hannah nodded and reassured, "But having the baby is all that matters."

"Did you also suffer so much pain when you gave birth to me?" Salem asked with some sympathy. Hannah touched Salem's head.

Back then, she almost had a miscarriage. Salem was born prematurely and had several life-threatening illnesses. For a long time, his body hadn't been as good as kids of the same age. She owed Salem too much.

She said, "No, there is no pain at all when Mom thinks about meeting you soon. Besides, Mom had a caesarean section and there is no pain with a caesarean section." "That's good," Salem said, "I don't want you to feel any pain."

At that moment, Hannah couldn't help but tighten her grip on Salem's small hand.

The two of them were waiting in the hallway for Susan to give birth. They waited for a whole night. Unexpectedly, Susan took such a long time to give birth to her child. Susan had almost no strength left. Manuel in the ward was running out of patience.

He said to the doctor, "C-section!"
