She was interrupted by Henry.
He chuckled, "I know you've been uncomfortable recently. You've been forced by your father to do many things that you don't want to do. You're very unhappy. Give me some more time. I'll bring you the life you want, and you can do whatever you want to do."
She looked at him, feeling the apprehension and uneasiness in his eyes.
Susan looked down, with her eyelids drooped. She was disappointed in herself-she used to think that she wouldn't change how she felt about Henry and he was her only love. But now, she was aware of the change in her.
"Susan," Henry gently drew her hands.
Susan pursed her lips. She wanted to refuse him, but she didn't want to repulse him.
"I will try my best to become the best man. I'll be your support."
He seemed to be taking an oath with great affection.
She was overwhelmed with emotions.
She and Henry had been together for so many years. Ever since she was in high school, he had been working hard for their future. Now that she had reached this point, she could not be apathetic towards him, let alone do anything to hurt him.
Susan remained silent.
Henry knew what she meant by what she had said. And he knew well what kind of person Susan was-she would put her whole self into it when she loved someone; while once the obsession disappeared, she would naturally ignore him and she wouldn't pretend to care.
By the time he noticed that Susan had been keeping a distance from him, he knew that she would have loved someone else.
But he couldn't accept the fact that Susan would fall in love with Manuel in the end.
He no way would allow Susan to come back to Manuel's side since he had put a lot of effort to win her back from Manuel.
Fortunately, Susan was a soft-hearted person, who sometimes would compromise because of guilt.
It was difficult for her to refuse him as long as he expressed his deep feelings for her.
Sure enough.
Susan nodded and replied, "Yes."
Although she was a little perfunctory, at least she did not say "break up" and the like.
Henry only saw what he wanted to see, so he ignored her strange reaction and said, "It's getting late. Get some rest early. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Susan opened the door and got off.
And Henry was watching her leave.
Henry's caring face disappeared as long as Susan got into the house.
He clenched his fists with a hideous face.
He must not be defeated by Manuel. And in two months, he would bring Manuel a discomfited leave! Henry swore he could!
A week later, Oscar had been discharged from the hospital.
The doctor suggested that he stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation, but he seemed to have a strong sense of rejection towards the hospital. Therefore, Hannah could only arrange for him to be discharged and take him back to his villa.
In the villa, Hannah and Oscar were having breakfast together in the early morning.
All Oscar could eat was liquid food.
Hannah found it poignant every time she saw him dining since he became thin when he could not exercise and eat well.
That caused her a great deal of heartache.
"If you look at me like this again, I am afraid I will not be able to control myself." Oscar was having his breakfast with his head down, but he acted like a man with a third eye on his forehead.
