Sarah was exhausted indeed.
Charles held her and coaxed her. After a while, Sarah was asleep, steady breathing.
He checked whether she was asleep several times. Then he got up quickly and drove away from his house.
While driving, he called the people at the detention centre first. Then he called Hannah, "Get ready at the door!"
Hannah said to Theodore and Manuel beside her, "I'll wait for Charles at the door now."
"Hannah," Theodore emphasized, "make sure for your safety!"
"I'll take care of myself." Hannah gave them a reassuring look.
She wore a thick coat and walked to the door of the villa.
She waited there for about ten minutes. And a black car arrived.
With one kick of the accelerator and then the break, Charles stopped hard in front of Hannah. She could feel the obvious anger from the driver.
Hannah opened the back seat door directly.
Charles watch her movement with a livid face, but he said nothing.
As soon as Hannah closed the car door, he kicked the accelerator and left.
Theodore and Manuel watched Hannah get into Charles' car from the shadows of the house.
"If something bad happened to Hannah, we would have to die to apologize to Oscar." Muttered Theodore.
Manuel glanced back at him and said, "Nothing bad would happen. Hannah will be fine."
After all, she was someone who lived an extra decade and knew better than anyone what kind of person Charles was. She knew what to do since she chose to take a risky way, Manuel thought to himself.
...
The car drove fast through the nightfall.
Neither of them tried to talk in the car.
Charles hated Hannah so much that he wouldn't say a word to her.
All Hannah could think about was Oscar. A little nervous, she just ignored Charles in the car.
She tried to hold back her inner emotions.
Soon, the car arrived at its destination. The two of them alighted from the car.
Unexpectedly, there were few people in the detention centre. Only one staff member was left, who seemed to be waiting for Charles.
Charles was now the son-in-law of the Collins family. Although he had no real power, no one dared to provoke him now. As long as he required, no one dared to violate his words or sue him. Still, Charles was cautious, keeping the fewest people in the detention centre.
"Mr Sawyer," The staff stepped forward and handed him a key.
Charles took it. Hannah's heart beat faster as she saw the key.
That must be the key to the door where Oscar was locked.
With that key, she could finally see Oscar. Hannah was trying to restrain herself and look calm.
Charles strode ahead and Hannah followed.
The staff stood outside and guarded them.
They passed through several iron gates and walked through several narrow corridors.
Charles finally stopped in front of a door.
Hannah's heart was racing wildly. It had been a month since Oscar was imprisoned.
How was he now after a month?
