Chapter 1128 Una''S Breakdown
Chapter 1128 Una''s Breakdown
Hannah spent a long time chatting with Susan in the room. It was only after dinner that they were
allowed to leave, and they sat in the car. Hannah still had her back turned to Oscar as she quietly
watched the familiar streets of Kensbury pass by, neon lights flickering through her thoughts.
"Do you want to go see your parents?" Oscar asked.
Hannah shook her head. "No need."
She was afraid of disappointing them again until everything settled down for real.
"Okay," Oscar replied and instructed the driver to head straight for the airport.
They returned to the Capitalte at night around 10 PM. When Hannah walked into the lobby, Salem

excitedly ran out and hugged her thigh tightly saying "Mom!" He seemed so thrilled that he held onto
her leg as if he feared she would disappear again.
After Salem came home from school earlier that day, he had been texting Oscar non-stop asking where
they were and whether his mother woulde back. Fortunately, Dad didn''t lie to him; he just waited
patiently at home all this time until finally seeing them return safely home tonight. He even refused to
let go of his mother''s thigh when she touched his head affectionately. The little boy had been waiting for
her until this hour.
As Hannah squatted down readying herself for a hug from Salem when suddenly a clear childish voice
rang out beside her ear, "Mom."
She turned around and saw Una standing there wearing a pink dress with big sparkling eyes full of
anticipation looking up at Hannah expectantly.
Hannah fell silent for a moment unsure how best to respond. Una looked disappointed.
Why could her brother call Mom but not her? Was Mom unhappy because she hadn''t waited for herst
night but went to sleep?
Una''s eyes filled with tears instantly, looking pitifully sad. This child resembled Cian so much that it
made one wonder about the Wells family genes being passed on so strongly through generations.
Salem also looked like Oscar; both siblings bore an uncanny resemnce, making people mistakenly
assume they were blood-rted. Hannah realized that Oscar hadn''t told the two of them everything.
Oscar called out gently, "Una,e over here with Dad."
Una looked at Hannah with hopeful eyes, but when she didn''t respond, Una went to Oscar and cried in
his arms. Hannah pursed her lips. If she were with Oscar now, she would treat Una as her child since
Una was Cian''s daughter. However, since she and Oscar were no longer together, she wasn''t Una''s
mother either.
"It''s gettingte, Sal, go to sleep, let''s go," Hannah said.
Salem was a sensitive child and felt the coldness between Hannah and Una. He turned around to look
at Una crying on his father''sp but didn''t say anything as he followed Hannah back to her room.
It was clear that Salem had something on his mind tonight. He seemed distracted. Hannah could sense
it too and knew what he wanted to say. She put Salem into bed after taking off his coat.
"Did you take a shower?"
"Yes, I did when you were with Dad."
"Then let''s go straight to bed."
"Can I still sleep with Mom?"
"Of course! You can always sleep with me when I''m here."
"What about... Una?" Salem asked while looking at Hannah.
Hannah smiled gently and said, "Una can''t join us tonight."
"Don''t you like Una?"
"No."
"Why do you treat me differently than how you treat her? She likes Mom too!"
"Hasn''t your dad told you everything yet?"
"He has," Salem answered seriously. "Una is not my real sister. My real sister couldn''t be only half a
year younger than me. Dad said that Uncle Cian had a daughter named Una, who came home after he
passed away. So we have to treat her like my own sister."
Hannah was surprised that Oscar had told him so much about it all.
"So Mom isn''t Uma''s mom. Uma can''t call me like that." Exined Hanna
"But..."
"Don''t worry about it honey, this is something your dad has taken care of for us already. Your
responsibility is just being a good boy who sleeps well every night."
"Mm-hmm," nodded Salem obediently.
He was such an adorable child who listened attentively. Hey down in the covers of Hannah''s bed
before drifting off into peaceful slumber.
"Mom wille to apany you after taking a shower. It''s alreadyte, good night." Hannah tucked
Salem in and reminded him.
"Okay, Mom. Good night."
Hannah got up and went to the bathroom. At that moment, she couldn''t help but sigh at the thought of
Una''s injured eyes just now. She still felt uneasy. But all of this was Oscar''s responsibility. He should be
the one dealing with it.
When she got out of the bathroom, Salem had already fallen asleep soundly. He didn''t get enough
sleep yesterday and waited sote tonight. After all, he was still a child and couldn''t resist sleepiness.
Hannah thought about it for a while before walking out of the room. She felt that she needed to talk to
Oscar about Una''s situation. She didn''t want a child to pay for adult emotions. So she walked up to
Oscar''s door and was about to knock when the door opened by itself. The sound of Oscarforting
Una came from inside the room.
Una had been crying all along.
"Una, don''t cry."
"Mum doesn''t like me anymore," she cried out loud.
It made her sad.
"She doesn''t dislike you. Mum just..."
"She just loves Sal more..."
Upon hearing this, Una cried even louder. Oscar seemed somewhat at a loss. Although Una had been
pampered since childhoodpared with Salem, who was tougher but not unreasonable. Every time
Una cried, she could beforted easily with some coaxing words but tonight nothing seemed working
well enough on her tears.
Oscar understood Una''s feelings very well. She had always been looking forward to a mother. But now
she thought her "mother" didn''t like her.
"Una, she''s not your mother." Finally, Oscar spoke up.
For a 5-year-old child, perhaps this might be an inappropriate topic, yet there were many things that
they should have the right knowledge about them.
The sound of Una crying suddenly stopped. She blinked through teary eyes, "Why isn''t she?"
