"Yes, and we are on our way home now." Said Hannah.
"Thank God." Her words made Venus weep for joy.
"What about Oscar? Is he alright? It seems that he has got slimmer. What about coming to my house so I can take good care of him?" Venus asked excitedly.
"You may talk to him," Hannah answered. She wanted to spare time for them.
Oscar took the phone and started to talk with Venus.
Venus kept speaking all the time while Oscar was mainly comforting her.
Hannah listened quietly beside Oscar until the car arrived home.
Oscar hung up after he finally persuaded Venus to not be worried about him.
Hannah smiled, "How wonderful to have mom stay by your side ."
She would never forget the suffering from the loss of her parent due to Charles in her last life. Fortunately, the dark days had gone. The rebirth allowed her to change her destiny and finally got Charles what he deserved.
Oscar stared at her with a smile on his face. Though he didn't respond, Hannah believed he must feel the same. Few men would admit their emotional dependence on their parents in public after all.
Jimmy opened the door for them.
Max had already been waiting for them at the gate and he said, "Welcome home, Mr and Mrs Wells. Knock on wood."
Hearing his words, Hannah smiled since Max's words made her warm.
Max asked, "Master Oscar, do you prefer taking a bath first or having dinner? Everything is prepared."
"I'll take a bath first," Oscar answered.
"The bath has been filled with hot water. In your bedroom." Max responded with a polite sound.
Max behaved the same as usual, however, Hannah noticed his red-rimmed eyes.
She didn't know how to describe the feeling, though she felt that Max treated Oscar more than as a master.
Holding Oscar's arm, she said, "I'll go with you."
Oscar grinned, and that made Hannah's cheek turn pink. What she thought was just simply to help him with a bath.
They went upstairs together, and the bath was indeed filled with constant-temperature water.
When Oscar was about to take off his clothes, Hannah said, "Let me help you."
Oscar looked at her.
"Stop looking at me. I'm serious." Hannah's face was burning. She just wanted to give a helping hand to a man who got hurt.
There was no doubt that Oscar willingly accepted her help. He allowed Hannah to take off his clothes. However, Hannah was about to cry on seeing his skinny body.
What had he suffered there?
"I'll build them again." Oscar comforted her.
Hannah felt a tickling in her nose, trying to stop herself from crying.
After taking off his clothes, she let him lie in the bath and helped him clean.
Oscar didn't move, silently allowing Hannah to continue. Hannah was not sure whether it was because he was enjoying it or because he was too weak to move.
Hannah felt heartache for him. Every touch of his fleshless body could even make her suffer.
Charles should thank God for his survival, otherwise, Hannah wanted to have him murdered right now.
Hannah spent a lot of time cleaning his body, and all of a sudden, Oscar said, "I think I might lose control if you continue to touch me."
Hannah paused, however, Oscar immediately held her hand and said, "It's comfortable."
