    Chapter 711 The Feud (16) Take Action


    They fell into silence. Honestly, Hannah had no idea what Melvin was getting at. It seemed he got


    something to tell her but just bit it back, which was confusing. It was quiet in the room.


    "Never mind. I''ll tell youter when it''s over." Said Melvin.


    Hannah frowned.


    "Leave me alone if you''ve finished eating." Said Melvin.


    Hannah glimpsed at him and stood up to leave. She was always calm and restrained, so she didn''t feel


    anything for Melvin''s sudden sentiment.


    Melvin watched her leaving, and went absent-minded. Suddenly, he smiled. He had nearly told her his


    feelings. He had never been so impulsive in his life, though he had managed to control himself in the


    end.


    Hannah returned to her room. She had a habit of taking a nap after lunch, but she wasn''t in the mood


    of dozing on this day.


    Oscar would absolutely take action after Melvin left. She didn''t know how many guards Melvin would


    leave on the ind. There was no doubt that the Wells Army wouldnd and save Cian after Melvin


    left. So, there must be a bloody war. She pondered how she could keep herself safe.


    In fact, Cian was right that everyone would take his safety as the top priority. Cian would be well


    protected, but she wouldn''t. So Hannah had to figure out how to save herself during the war. She


    turned to Jimmy, who had followed her all time and remained silent.


    "Jimmy, who would you save if Cian and I were both in danger?" asked Hannah.


    Jimmy was stunned. Probably, he hadn''t expected such a question, and he didn''t give his answer


    immediately. Hannah smiled lightly. Actually, she didn''t expect it from Jimmy.


    "It''s OK. I understand." Hannah said in a light tone. To the Wells family, no one else was more


    important than Cian, including Oscar. She was sure that Oscar could die for Cian, let alone give up on


    her.


    "I''ll protect you." Said Jimmy word by word. Jimmy suddenly broke the silence when Hannah had

    stopped expecting any answer.


    Hearing it, Hannah was shocked.


    "Master Oscar told me to protect you with my life. And it isn''t my job to protect others."


    Hannah wasn''t sure whether or not she should be happy to hear that, or should be thankful to Oscar for


    having sent Jimmy to keep her safe. However, Oscar had caused the whole thing and given her all


    these tough times.


    Suddenly, the baby kicked her. Hannah stroked her belly tofort it. Whenever she got emotional, the


    baby would kick her. What a sensitive little thing. Hannah calmed herself gradually.


    "Thanks, Jimmy." Said Hannah with gratitude.


    "No problem. It''s my job. Madam, please don''t hate Master Oscar."


    Still, Jimmy spoke for Oscar. Probably, he also saw how disappointed she had been with Oscar


    recently. It was a lie that she didn''t hate him. And it was also a lie that she didn''t understand him. All


    she wanted at this moment was to stay alive. She wanted him, and all the others to be alive.


    At night, Manuel went ashore through a secret tunnel on the ind. They willingly let Cian live on the


    ind without sending more guards to protect him, not only because they were afraid of being an eye-


    catcher, but also because they could escape through different ways once they were in danger, which


    was more important to them.


    Manuel had managed to avoid all the sentries and made it to the shore by a submarine though Melvin


    had put quite a lot of guards on the ind. On shore, there was a secret tunnel leading to the vi but


    he couldn''t get straight into it at this time. Therefore, he had no idea what was happening inside.


    People were most impressed by Melvin''s prudence. He had ruined all the cameras and inte here on


    the ind as soon as he picked this ce, which caused Manuel some trouble.


    It was quiet all around the ind. Manuel dared not act rashly. After he went ashore, he hid in the


    woods, climbed up to the top of a tree and watched the ind with a micro-telescope.


    Surprisingly, there were tons of guards there. It was like a pipe dream to get close to the ce they live


    in. He could do nothing but waited for Melvin to leave with his men. The fewer people were left on the


    ind, the less likely they were to alert the enemies. He climbed down the tree and dared not take any


    action.


    It was getting bright. Manuel had caught some sleep. The toot-toot of ships had wakened him. In no


    time, he climbed up to the top of the tree and saw several ships setting sails. The guards began


    retreating in order.


    Manuel sat tight and waited for Melvin to shove off. At the time, only some of the guards from the


    Balderston family were leaving, and the majority of them were still on the ind, which meant Melvin


    was still there. Finally, he saw Melvining out. He was surrounded and protected by thousands of


    guards, which made him hard to be noticed. Out of a blue, he paused his steps and looked back


    towards the second floor.


    Manuel turned the telescope immediately and saw Hannah sitting on the rocking chair on the second


    floor. She was staring into the sea and watching the guards leave orderly. Manuel pursed his lips,


    pondering if Melvin had fallen for Hannah as Theodore said. The answer was quite clear although


    Melvin had tried to hide his feelings.


    Manuel was wondering if he should remind Oscar that Hannah would be taken away by Melvin once he


    died. He gave it a second thought and finally gave up the idea. Oscar would be freaked out if he heard


    it, he thought.


    Manuel stayed focused and watched Melvin''s movement closely. Finally, he saw Melvin on board and


    in the meantime, he texted Oscar, "Left the ind."


    Oscar understood Melvin was taking action when he got the text message. He deleted it quickly and


    concentrated on the funeral again.


    Melvin''s funeral had begun. Lots of guests were present, most of whom were high officials and noble


    lords, including Mrs Balderston, who was controlled by the Collins family and couldn''t say anything. So,


    she could just act as she was told.


    The Collinses looked sad at the scene. Rowan was telling the official media with guilt and regret, "I''ve


    always treated Melvin as my own son. I''d never imagined that he''d be killed in the ident. I just tried


    to figure things out and didn''t believe Melvin would have nned to kill me. All I wanted to do was tell


    people in this way that a country has itsws and a family has its rules. Whoever hasmitted a


    crime should be equally punished byw. Meanwhile, I also want to warn my children and all those in


    high positions in Northfield not to abuse their power!"


    Thus, Rowan Collins used the most lovely phrases to build the public''s loyalty towards him out there.
