Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth

Chapter 924 Destined

"Are you sure it was my cousin who suggested this?" Manuel furrowed his brows in concern.

"Do you think I'd lie to you?" Hannah retorted back at him.

"I just find it hard to believe," Manuel said thoughtfully. At that moment, he knew there had to be some

hidden motive behind Oscar's decision. Maybe his cousin had already started making moves against

the Collines. If they did make a move, there would definitely be danger involved.

The only way he could ensure Hannah's safety was by taking them somewhere absolutely secure

where they wouldn't get caught up in this dangerous situation.

But based on what he knew about Oscar, he wouldn't reveal any reasons behind his actions either way.

On the one hand, he didn't want Hannah to trust him blindly because telling her the truth wouldn't

change anything except make him feel worse inside; on the other hand, even if Oscar won this fight,

there were no guarantees that everything would turn out okay-something unexpected could always

happen-so giving false hope wasn't an option either.

Until everything settled down completely, Oscar wouldn't say anything at all.

"Manuel," Sensing Manuel's silence, Hannah called out.

"Hmm?" He snapped back into focus.

Since Oscar wasn't saying anything, then naturally he'd respect whatever decision he made.

"Oscar wants me overseas," Hannah stated bluntly. After understanding all the ins and outs, Oscar's

actions didn't seem so surprising anymore. He asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Next Wednesday."

"So soon?" Manuel exclaimed.

And what he was really thinking was whether his cousin was going to go after the Collins family so

soon. During their internal power struggle years ago, Oscar hadn't gone all the way because Lillian was

pregnant. Whether or not they had a hundred per cent chance of taking down the Collins family at that

time, their actions were essentially keeping a threat growing. It was hard to say what kind of activities

the Collins family had been up to during this long period of time.

However, after such a short amount of time, they were already taking action again; it seemed like they

were being too hasty, Manuel reckoned.

But since Oscar had already made up his mind, Manuel believed that he wasn't someone who acted

rashly and must have prepared for everything.

"I won't tell Susan about my leaving Northfield yet. I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it and I'm even

more afraid that she'll directly go find Oscar and fight him." Hannah said with a smile.

Although she smiled, her heart felt uneasy. She always felt like her leaving would be difficult for Susan

to accept.

"That's possible." Manuel nodded. "Okay then, I won't tell her."

Maybe she would come back soon enough anyway.

"Susan is in your hands now," Hannah said solemnly.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of her."

"I trust you completely," Hannah said. "You're the only person in this world who makes me feel at ease."

Manuel blushed slightly at Hannah's words as he had always been an easily embarrassed person

since childhood.

"Well then, I won't disturb you while you're working," Hannah said after finishing speaking on the

phone. She feared that if they talked too much longer it would be harder for them both.

"Hannah," Manuel called out before she hung up.

"Yes?"

"Don't be too disappointed with my cousin."

"I won't," Hannah replied calmly. "When there are no expectations left, there can be no disappointment

either."

Manuel pursed his lips, surprised by her words. He thought this kind of feeling was even more terrible.

It was a complete detachment from someone.

"Alright then." Manuel finally spoke again after some silence between them both on the phone line.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After the call, Hannah remained silent for quite some time afterwards. It took time to truly let oneself

become emotionless about something.

One week later, Theodore came to personally see them off on Wednesday. After Oscar went back that

day, he disappeared from Hannah's world as if he never existed. They didn't call or text each other and

naturally couldn't meet again.

When Hannah saw Theodore at this moment, she wasn't surprised. Oscar could send his most trusted

person to see them off, which was considered going above and beyond.

"Is everything packed?" Theodore asked Hannah.

"Yes. We took what we could bring with us. For the things we can't take with us, I'll have Manuel and

Susan mail them to me once we settle down." Hannah said.

"Alright then. Let's go." Theodore nodded his head.

Hannah held Salem in her arms as they got into a car, while Lorie, Miguel and Michelle were in another

car behind them.

Theodore sat beside Hannah in the same car but it was quiet inside the vehicle. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Salem was curious about the outside world while looking out through the window. Salem didn't usually

go out much except for their garden, so everything seemed new to him.

Theodore noticed his reaction too. Sitting in the driver's seat, he looked through the rear-view mirror at

Salem, who was waving his little hands around.

"Salem has grown so big." Began Theodore.

"Hmm." Replied Hannah, knowing that it had been just as long since Oscar had seen him too, and so

did Theodore.

"Time flies by so quickly." Sighed Theodore

"Yeah."

Time always had a way of diluting many emotions.

"Salem looks like Oscar." Added Theodore

Hannah pursed her lips, not wanting to continue this topic any further. Theodore could sense her mood

change so he didn't say anything else either.

The sedan arrived at a private airport where security was tight, which made sense, considering how

secretive their departure needed to be.

As they prepared to board their flight with Salem still being held by Hannah, Theodore started

hesitantly, "Hannah..."

"Yes?" asked Hannah looking towards him.

Theodore was silent while he showed no sign to send Hannah off.

"Do you have something you want to talk about privately?" asked she.

Theodore nodded his head, slowly.

Then Hannah passed Salem over into Michelle's arms and said, "I will catch up soon okay?"

Even though Michelle didn't like Oscar or the people around him, she couldn't refuse her daughter's

request. Then she left with a parting remark, "Don't take too long, Salem will cry if he can't see you."

"Okay."

Michelle and the other two boarded the plane first.

Hannah followed Theodore to one side.

They didn't talk for very long. Theodore was never a talkative person. After a few words, he said,

"Hannah, take care of yourself."

Hannah pursed her lips, "Take good care of Oscar."

Theodore looked at her.

"This is the only kindness I can give him," Hannah said frankly.

Theodore nodded. He knew that some wounds were destined to be difficult to heal again.

"Take care!"

Hannah turned and left.

At that moment of departure, tears welled up in her eyes after all these years. But many things were

Oscar's own choice. She respected him and let go of him as well.

Theodore watched as they boarded the plane and left.

He sent a message to Oscar with his head down, "Hannah has gone."

The message was attached with a photo of the plane in the sky.

At this moment, Oscar was sitting in his spacious office, looking out through floor-to-ceiling windows at

endless skies.

In the end, he still parted ways with Hannah.
