Chapter 1123 Oscar, Don't Overthink It
"By the way," Oscar said, but Hannah remained silent. He continued, "Why don't you call Susan and let
Manuel know that you're back? It was Manuel who reminded me of what happened to you."
That day when she went to drop off Manuel and Susan, Doyle suddenly appeared and Manuel noticed
something was wrong. She was surprised that Oscar knew she had been held captive by Doyle; it
turned out that Manuel had told him.
Manuel always surprised her with his intelligence.
She responded calmly before walking towards the hall to pick up her new phone. The phone already
had a list of important contacts including Susan, Manuel, and Salem's watch phone, even her parents'
numbers were saved except for Oscar's.
She tightened her grip on the phone as she dialled Susan's number. The voice on the other end
sounded groggy as if just waking up.
"Hello? Who is this?" This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"It's Hannah," she said plainly.
The person on the other end suddenly became excited at hearing Hannah's voice. She could imagine
Susan sitting up in bed with such force that it probably scared even Manuel who was still sleeping
beside her. Despite Edward and Justine having been taking care of their baby all night long, since they
needed feeding every two hours or so, getting some sleep after a restless night made them both very
tired. Therefore, when Susan bounced out of bed like this, Manuel thought there was an earthquake or
something. So Manuel tried to grab onto Susan to run, thinking they needed to escape but then heard
her say, "Are you sleepwalking? I'm talking to Hannah right now!"
"Hannah?" he asked once he calmed down a bit from being startled by all the commotion caused by his
wife's sudden movements. Living with someone like Susan for so long had influenced his character,
making him act rashly sometimes too.
"Has Hannah come back?" Manuel got excited again.
"I haven't even asked yet! You just pulled me to run, are we scared of being found out or something?"
Susan got cross. Manuel was speechless too.
Hannah couldn't help but laugh while listening to their conversation over the phone line. Although
Susan had become a parent, she hadn't changed much. She was still as likeable and reckless as ever.
"Hannah, did you come back?" asked Susan.
"Yes, I did."
"Where are you?" Susan asked eagerly, "Did you come with Doyle? I told him before if you come to
Northfield, I'll show you around."
"He isn't here."
"What's up?" Susan seemed to notice something.
"I can't explain it over the phone. Let Manuel tell you."
"Did he know?" Susan frowned. "You guys are keeping secrets from me again!"
Susan was angry again. She had been holding a grudge against them since they had found out the real
identity of "Besse" but didn't tell her last time. Now they were hiding something else from her again.
What kind of person did they think she was?
"It's not a big deal," Hannah tried to calm her down.
"Even if it's not a big deal, you still kept it from me. Where are you now, Hannah? I want to see you."
Susan said angrily.
"Aren't you supposed to be resting after giving birth?"
"Then come see me." Susan immediately changed her mind. She was quick on the uptake like that.
Hannah hesitated for a moment. It would be better not to wander around during this time. Oscar had
said that he needed one month to settle things.
But if she refused Susan, Susan might start throwing tantrums right away. Just as she was in a bit of a
dilemma,
Oscar spoke up, "Go ahead, I'll take you there."
His voice reached Susan's ears too. Susan couldn't believe what she heard and opened her mouth
wide before hesitantly asking, "Did I just hear Oscar's voice?"
Hannah didn't know how to explain this situation to Susan now.
"Hannah, are you and Oscar rekindling your old flame?"
"No," Hannah denied firmly.
"Really? Are you sure that deep down inside, Doyle wasn't your true love? Did you regret marrying him
the moment he proposed and then immediately broke up with him and came back..."
"You should ask Manuel." Hannah cut in before hanging up directly on the phone call.
Sometimes when Susan got excited like this, they couldn't handle it well, Only Manuel could help out
with these situations.
Hannah put down her phone while Oscar stood next to her saying, "Change into some clothes, I'll take
care of taking us there."
"Is that okay?" She didn't want any trouble for him or herself either. She didn't want history repeating
itself with another kidnapping by Doyle happening again so soon after escaping Jolencami.
"It's fine. We just left Jolencami yesterday, Doyle shouldn't have arrived here yet. We're safe for these
two days." Oscar explained calmly.
"Alright then, thank you."
"You're welcome."
With that said Oscar turned around to get back to another room and get prepared.
"Oscar!"
He turned back towards her.
"You're bleeding again, your arm."
Oscar turned his head to take a look. He wasn't wearing much at home, and his arm was exposed. The
gunshot wound had stained the bandage with blood once again.
"It's probably from before," Oscar said nonchalantly.
"Did you change your dressing today?"
Oscar shook his head. He hadn't had the chance yet. He was going to let Theodore do it, but the latter
ran too fast.
"Where's the first aid kit?" Hannah asked.
Oscar pointed to the cabinet next to him, and Hannah got up to retrieve it.
"I'll help you change your dressing." Said she.
Oscar felt a bit excited but tried not to show it on his face. He sat upright on the couch like a well-
behaved student as Hannah unwrapped his bandages and changed them for him while saying, "Don't
think too much about it."
Oscar pursed his lips lightly in response.
"Your gunshot wound is because of me. I'm just doing this out of humanitarianism."
"I know," Oscar replied before adding, "Thank you."
The distance between them grew wider after they exchanged words. They both fell silent until Hannah
finished re-dressing Oscar's wound properly. Afterwards, they both went back into their respective
rooms and changed into fresh clothes. As they came out again, they looked somewhat stunned when
they saw each other dressed similarly-both wearing khaki coats on top with black pants below. Hannah
could imagine how Susan might react if she saw them together like this.
Hannah couldn't believe that she would end up dressed so similarly to Oscar. Feeling annoyed inside,
she suspected that Oscar might have done this intentionally by giving her clothes similar to what he
wore himself. She turned around immediately wanting to change her outfit, but Oscar stooped her.
"I'll change my clothes." Said he.
It was clear that he noticed how unhappy she seemed about their matching outfits.
