Chapter 1197 Hannah's Final Struggle

Oscar was dissatisfied. He felt that the time he spent with Hannah was too short. He wished he could

spend 24 hours a day with her.

Hannah compromised since she heard that he could only sleep for three hours in bed. She would leave This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

after he got up and left anyway.

Oscar put Hannah back on the bed, holding her body and breathed her familiar scent after so many

years of separation. This time, he felt satisfied and felt that the world favoured him. He hugged Hannah

tightly, almost suffocating her, but she strangely felt warm and secure again despite thinking she would

never feel safe with Oscar again.

However, when she tried to relax her guard, some shadows from the past suddenly appeared without

warning. She closed her eyes. This was their conflict-there was a gap between the two of them that she

didn't know how long it would take to cross or if they could ever cross it at all.

It was 7 AM. Oscar turned off his alarm clock, which rarely rang since he usually woke up naturally. But

today it did its job waking him up from his deep slumber. Hannah was still lying beside him in bed so he

was reluctant to leave his bed. The feeling of waking up next to someone you love made him want

nothing more than just to stay immersed in this moment forever, even though he knew he had

responsibilities outside of their bedroom walls waiting for him.

He carefully lifted himself out of bed trying not to wake up Hannah. Oscar planted a gentle kiss on her

forehead before leaving quietly.

As soon as Oscar left, Hannah opened her eyes since, sleep never came easy for someone like her,

especially when sharing a bed with Oscar, whom she had a history with. She saw that Oscar had gone

but still felt his presence lingering around where they both slept last night. There was a moment when

she thought of staying on this bed to accompany Oscar.

She closed her eyes, trying to adjust the mess of thinking inside.

She got up at 8 AM. She didn't get much sleep and was exhausted from Oscar's constant moves last

night. But the thought of Salem already being awake urged her to get up. And sure enough, when she

opened her door after getting ready, the little boy had been waiting for her outside. She wasn't sure

how long he had been there but his eyes were shining with excitement.

"Mom, good morning. Did you sleep well last night? Are you hungry? Do you want breakfast? What do

you want for breakfast?" Salem asked eagerly.

Hannah smiled at him. Every time she saw Salem, her heart warmed up a little bit more. She crouched

down to his level and answered each of his questions one by one.

"Good morning, Sal." She said. "I slept okay last night, and yeah, I'm a little hungry now, I'd like some

breakfast with my favourite boy."

"With Mom here, anything tastes good," Salem replied happily.

Hannah affectionately ruffled his hair before taking his hand and leading him towards the dining room.

Una was already eating alone since Oscar had gone to work already.

"Mom," Una greeted her politely. Although Hannah still felt uneasy about it but accepted it nonetheless

without knowing how long it would take for her to truly let go of all the pain in her heart.

"Morning, Una." Replied she.

The three sat down at the table together when suddenly Salem spoke up with a hint of complaint in his

voice, "Mom, Dad lasted too long. I've waited from yesterday afternoon until nighttime but never got to

see you."

It was an innocent remark that made Hannah blush furiously while Una looked on confusedly and

asked, "Dad lasted too long?"

Salem tried explaining himself before Hannah interrupted them both, "Let's not talk during meals or

we'll have indigestion."

"Okay," said Salem obediently as he nodded along before adding quickly, "Dad can't do that again, it's

too hard waiting."

Hannah blushed even harder as she thought about how there couldn't be another next time like this

again. After finishing their meal together, Max sent Una and Salem off to school.

"Mom, will you wait for me at home?" asked the boy.

"I'm leaving soon but I'll come back and take you to Kensbury with me this weekend, okay?"

"Why can't you live in the Capital with Dad and me?" He asked sadly then added hopefully, "If you miss

Grandpa and Grandma, can you ask them to come and live with us?"

Hannah felt a bit uneasy after Salem's words, and she comforted him, "Sal, there are some things in

the world adults can't. Be a good boy, okay?"

"But... I want Mom by my side, like other kids' moms, to watch me grow up." Salem looked at Hannah

with a pitiful expression.

Hannah touched his little face but didn't answer. Salem was more sensible than most children and

didn't want to make things difficult for his mom. So he followed Max into the car and left. Sitting in the

car, his little face pressed against the window glass. The look in his eyes made Hannah feel

heartbroken as she watched the car get farther away. She took a deep breath and tried to relax.

Hannah left the Capital that day. She took a taxi to the airport. Before she could truly let go of

everything, she couldn't easily try again. She was afraid of disappointing herself again or disappointing

those around her.

Sitting in the car, she received Susan's call. Susan asked about her situation with Oscar last night.

Hannah knew that she couldn't hide it from Susan and told her everything. Susan screamed so loudly

that it almost burst Hannah's eardrums.

"You finally couldn't escape Oscar's grasp, could you?" Susan asked.

Hannah smiled slightly as she looked at the dazzling sunlight outside the window. She had finally

returned to Oscar. Perhaps her current struggle was just an explanation for everything that had

happened before.

For Salem's sake, she was easy to compromise. Hannah chatted with Susan for a while before

hanging up her phone. Just as soon as she put down her phone, it rang again. An unfamiliar number

appeared on the screen.

Though hesitant, she finally put it through, "Hello?"

"Hello." A familiar male voice came from over there.

Suddenly feeling tightness in her chest upon hearing the voice, she held onto her phone tighter.

"Hannah, did you forget me? No, you didn't, right? You still remember my voice, didn't you?"

Hannah bit down on her lip tightly. Never did it cross her mind that Doyle would reappear so suddenly

like this after half a year.
