Chapter 789 A Fatal Hurt


    Chapter 789 A Fatal Hurt


    The ward quieted down again. The blood stains on the floor were removed, and everything returned to


    its normal as if the incidents had not happened.


    The door was opened. Hannah raised her eyes and found Theodore, and soon after she diverted her


    sight away with repulsion, for she knew he came for persuasion.


    Theodore was unwilling to take up such a challenging task as a peacemaker. Sex should be the best


    way to conflicts between spouses as he thought. And he wondered why this couple had to make things


    soplicated.


    Theodore approached her and sat down beside her bed. Max still hold a bowl in which there was new


    hot gruel for Hannah who rejected it again.


    With a sigh, Theodore started, "Oscar was already in a separate ward. The doctor said his tongue was


    injured a bit seriously. Maybe he needs 1 or 2 days before he can talk again. But never mind.


    Everything will be fine after his wound recovers."


    Hannah sat quietly, emotionless.


    "Oscar is asleep now, finally. This is a hard time for him indeed. The time he spent on the trip back to


    Kensbury the day before was squeezed from his tight schedule. And because of one day off, he kept


    busy for the coronation till thest midnight. But I don''t think he had a minute in sleep for he got the


    message of your hunger strike afterwards. Anyway, when I picked him up this morning, I found his eyes


    were as red as that of a rabbit. Then he asked for some special eye drops from the doctor to cover. It''s


    hard to imagine. He looked so terrible that I thought he might juste out from a coffin."


    Hannah nced at him with impatience.


    Theodore was put a halt to by her threat. But with a sigh, he started again, "I''m not asking for your


    sympathy for Oscar, but I just wonder if you would feel better when you know he is suffering too."


    "This is none of my business," Hannah replied finally with an indifferent voice, "These are all his


    choices, aren''t they?"


    "True. This is his choice. He could not abandon his family nor the power that his family earned by the


    cost of lives in generations."


    "But he can abandon me," Hannah said word by word.


    "Do you think he can endure life without you?" Theodore questioned.


    "No one is the air for the other. And time can cure."


    "Do you know how many years Oscar loves you already?"


    "At least that happened because of me. It''s me to make a move first."


    She was quite clear for they had been a pair of parallel lines in herst existence.


    "Now if I leave him, he will get used to it gradually."


    "True. You''re the active cause of the rtionship. Before you entered his life, he was a living creature


    without a soul. And he relived for your appearance and started to enjoy his life." Theodore added. He


    was barely emotional like that out of his shyness. But Oscar was one of his friends that was worthy of


    challenging himself.


    "But he has Lilian now, doesn''t he?" Hannah refuted lightly.


    "Do you think he loves her?"


    "Maybe he will."


    "Anyone on the earth could be misled that Oscar loves Lilian, but you!"


    Hannah shook and denied, "I had thought the man I loved was Charles Sawyer and I would not


    change. However, I married Oscar and fell in love with him. I think he can forget me just as I could


    forget Charles Sawyer."


    "So anyway, you have given up, right?"


    "Theodore," Hannah said, "Separation is the best way for him. Talk with your friend."


    Theodore was left speechless, for he knew Hannah was right. Indeed, separation was the best solution


    for them both. But how would Oscar be after that?


    Theodore said after some hesitation, "I will consider your proposal." That meant he would consider if he


    would get Hannah out of there. But Hannah had little hope for him. After all, Theodore was loyal to his


    friend. If Oscar did not agree, it was impossible to set her free.


    Theodore left after the conversation. He seemed to be a failed peacemaker since he was unable to


    ease the conflict a bit.


    That day Hannah went on her hunger strike, and Oscar did not show up again in her ward. She thought


    he might fly back to the Capital.


    On the second day, Manuel visited her. His visit must be under Theodore''s instruction. Without the


    impact from Oscar, Manuel was still her friend so she was nicer to him.


    "I cannot imagine that you could be that thin as now." Manuel smiled and felt a little sorry for her


    condition.


    Hannah smiled too and said, "And I don''t expect to show you such an awful me."


    Manuel shook his head andforted, "I can understand your suffering for I have been through that


    before." The hurt he suffered for Susan might be simr to Hannah for Oscar.


    "So youe to persuade me or help me?" Hannah asked it straight.


    "None of them. Ie in a hope that you can take some food." Manuel did not beat around the bush


    either.


    Hannah sealed her lips at his answer.


    "It''s not easy to have a chance for being reborn. And do you just give it up that easily?"


    "Of course not." Hannah said, "Life is valuable."


    "But now you''re devastating yourself," Manuel added, "there are so many ways to torture my cousin.


    Why do you choose a self-destructive one?"


    "True. There do be so many ways in destroying Oscar. But my way is the most fatal one."

    Hannah was good at seizing her enemy''s Achilles heel. Her answer managed to mute the second


    visitor.


    This morning, Manuel received a call from Theodore who keptining about the troublesome


    couple. And he added atst that they would ruin everything if their fight continued. Theodore was not


    exaggerating. Given Oscar''s existing position, any of his conditions could put Northfield on the brink of


    copse.


    Theodore spent a night persuading Oscar to set Hannah free, even in a fake way. He suggested


    surveince of Hannah in case of any other man had a chance to get close to her. But Oscar did not


    agree. Without permission, Theodore could not get Hannah out of there discreetly. That was not


    because of his fear of Oscar''s revenge, but his concern, worrying that his friend might be driven crazy


    atst.


    Theodore was helpless but only turned to Manuel for help. They would not have been so poor if


    Hannah was not that stubborn. Theodore was nearly on the edge because of this couple. But Manuel


    did not think he could make any difference, since he knew Hannah was going to leave his cousin at any


    cost.
