With the phone in his hand, Oscar showed no response.
Theodore had no idea how to convince him.
Before that, Hannah had never mentioned that she would come to the Capital before. Needless to say, Oscar would like to spend more time with her tonight. Theodore could tell that Oscar must have just sufficed his sensual need with Hannah. And they wouldn't like to part from each other so soon.
"Where are you?" Oscar didn't utter until quite a while later.
"I am on my way to your house!" Theodore seemed to be pissed.
He didn't even have time to suffice his desire yet.
When he was putting on his pants a few minutes ago, he felt like burning in a rage.
"Come to pick me up." Said Oscar.
"Are you sure you gotta go to the hospital?"
"Mhm."
"But what about Hannah?" asked Theodore worriedly.
"She will understand me." Replied Oscar.
"Alright, I will reach your home in ten minutes."
"Mhm."
After he hung up the phone, something vengeful flashed across his eyes.
Then he turned around to close the French window gently and walked over to the bed, on which Hannah was sleeping soundly.
Under the lamplight, her sleeping face looked attractive and pure, for which he couldn't help paying a kiss on her lips.
Hannah budged a bit. But then she slowly opened her bedroom eyes.
"Did I wake you up?" asked Oscar gently.
"I am waiting for you to sleep with me. But I just somehow fall asleep. Have you finished the call? Is there something urgent?" Hannah smiled.
Though hesitating, he still told the truth, "Lillian said the baby is crying. I gotta go to check."
"Is the baby feeling sick?" asked Hannah nervously.
"I don't know. That's why I gotta check."
"Alright, just go for it." Said Hannah urgently.
A trace of upset appeared in his eyes.
Hannah smiled, "Don't worry. I am reasonable enough to stay away from jealousy of a baby. After all, I owed Cian's life. I swear there is no difference between his baby and mine. And of course, I will be worried about the baby."
"I'll be back as soon as possible," Oscar promised.
Hannah nodded though she was aware that his promise meant little.
As far as she knew about Lillian, she would try all means to make him stay as long as he reached there.
"Just get back to sleep. You must be exhausted tonight." Oscar then paid her another kiss on her lips.
"Okay." She nodded and then closed her eyes.
After watching for a while, he finally stood up to get himself dressed. Then he walked away.
Soon, the air fell into deadly silence.
She opened her eyes to look around this room which she had never slept in.
She swore such a humiliating life would end one day.
While driving Oscar to the hospital, Theodore asked, "Is Hannah getting mad at you?"
"No."
She wouldn't be mad at him anymore as she no longer reserved any anticipation for him.
As soon as he unbuttoned the baby's top, he noticed there was a hard piece of the label inside, which severely scratched the baby's skin on the back.
Oscar questioned seriously, "Don't you notice that she's wearing the top inside out?"
"What?" Lillian looked surprised.
"The label should be on the outside! Who get her changed?" Oscar asked seriously.
It must be someone else other than anyone professional in the hospital.
"It was me…" Lillian hurried to answer.
Oscar took a look at her.
"I don't know about that. I just wanna learn to tend the baby. After she spat up the breast milk, I got her changed. I thought the label should be on the inside just like a top for an adult… I just don't know about that…" Tears welled up in her eyes again.
She looked rather remorseful.
Oscar didn't reproach her though he looked sulky.
Soon, he got the baby changed. After that, the baby stopped crying. She simply sobbed for seconds and then slouched into his arms to fall asleep.
As the baby seemed to be sleeping soundly, Oscar put her into the crib.
Not quite a while later did she muster up enough courage to apologize, "Oscar, I am sorry…"
"Just be aware of it next time." Oscar didn't even look at her.
Though she appeared frustrated, she was delighted from the inside.
It was exactly part of her plan that she put on the top for the baby inside out to make her cry.
That was the way to get Oscar away from Hannah tonight.
She couldn't help imagining Hannah must be pissed right now.
But soon, she suddenly noticed a hickey on Oscar's neck, which she deemed rather provocative.
