After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146 How Much She Weighs in His Heart?

Hearing the doctor's words, everyone sighed with relief.
Meanwhile, the medical staff had wheeled Oscar out of the operating room.
"Oscar!" Theodore ran over to him immediately. So did everyone else.
"How are you doing? Do you recognize me? Do you know me?" Theodore asked anxiously.
Oscar looked a little silly with his face and body wrapped in bandage.
Instead of saying anything in reply, he just stared at Theodore, saying nothing.
"Are you OK?" Theodore felt his heart in the throat when he heard nothing back from Oscar.
But Oscar simply closed his eyes.
"Doctor! Doctor! Has he become a vegetable?" Theodore grabbed the doctor besides him and asked instantly.
The doctor began doubting his diagnosis in Theodore's scream.
He went over and tried to check on Oscar.
"I'm good. Thanks." said Oscar, in a clear voice.
"Oh my god, Oscar! You're OK! But why didn't you say a word?" Theodore complained.
"Juts don't feel like talking."
"Why not? Aren't you feeling well? Tell us if you don't feel well! Don't keep it to yourself. What if something happens to you? Don't be afraid of embarrassing yourself..."
"Enough now." Manuel cut in his words, "People who don't know the situation here will take you as Oscar's wife. Just be quiet."
"Fuck you. I'm straight. I like woman!" Theodore was speechless.
But everyone glanced at Hannah at the time, who looked much calmer than Theodore--she was Oscar's "wife" in their eyes. Since Oscar got injured because of her, she would be the most emotional and anxious one.
"Let's move the patient to the ward first." The medical staff reminded, seeming that they also had enough of it.
And it also saved Hannah from the embarrassment.
She found it hard somehow to face up to Oscar's friends.
Then all of them followed the medical staff to the VIP room.
The medical staff didn't leave until they had settled Oscar down and told them the things that they should pay attention to.
Theodore still couldn't calm down after the medical staff left. He stayed by Oscar's side and kept asking with concern in fear of Oscar's sudden death.
Hannah would have doubted there was a thing between them if she hadn't known Oscar wasn't gay. She had not expected that they had such a good relationship.
She thought they were only drinking buddies, who fooled around and did bad things together.
Surprisingly, they were so close.
"Hannah." Manuel suddenly called her name.
Hannah looked back. Theodore had stayed with Oscar since he entered the room. The rest of them, including her, had kept an arm's length.
In fact, she did want to show her care for him but didn't know how.
After all, they had had a fight right before the accident.
"Come out with me." Manuel said lightly.
Hannah glanced at Oscar again, then left with Manuel.
Oscar, who was lying on bed, had looked at her right before she went out of the room.
Outside the room, it was late at night and it was quiet in the corridor.
"Let me finish my words." Manuel said straightforwardly.
"OK. Go ahead." Hannah nodded.
"You know Theodore. Don't take it to heart. He's frank and outspoken, but he isn't a bad guy."
"I know." Hannah put on a light smile, showing that she didn't mind Theodore's words.
"But, Theodore was right. Oscar would die for you!" Manuel uttered the words one by one.
Hannah looked up at him, stunned.
"I bet you know I've been crossed in love tonight." said Manuel.
Hannah nodded. Of course she knew Manuel still loved Susan.
"Well, actually, I couldn't put it like that. It's just... that I've overestimated myself. In fact, I'm not as strong as I thought. So, I couldn't calmly face or accept the love between them and chose to leave halfway. Oscar and Theodore saw me leaving and came with me, then we went to drink in Emperor Club, and received your call while drinking." Manuel was telling her what had happened after they left.
"You might not know how terrible Oscar looked the moment he heard you were in danger. To be honest, Oscar can hardly be affected by others. He won't..." Manuel paused, "He won't be emotional even when he's pissed off. But what happened to you has freaked him out."
"But the emotional look was gone in a second. Then he remained calm again and planned how to rescue you carefully. You think he's cold and unapproachable, right? Couldn't you feel his care and love for you while talking with him?" Manuel asked Hannah.
"Mm."
"You know what, his hands couldn't help shaking when he talked with you on the phone. I wear to God that it was ten years ago that he shook his hands nervously last time."
"Ten years ago?" Hannah was surprised.
"That's not the point." Manuel skipped it, "the point is that he's really afraid of losing you."
Hannah showed a thoughtful expression, seeming that she had felt it herself.
"Oscar settled down everything and drove crazily fast according to your travelling track. At first, Theodore and I didn't understand why he drove away alone without us, and Theodore kept complaining that he cared about his girl only. We didn't realize that Oscar had been ready to die for you until he had the car accident, and he simply didn't want to get us involved."
Hearing that, Hannah felt her heart sinking bit by bit.
She had never wanted Oscar to do that for her.
"When Theodore and I arrived at the scene later, I was shocked to see Oscar driving crazily and knocking out the car that was coming at you. I know he loves you but I don't know he loves you that much." Manuel looked at Hannah and said, "I've checked the damages on Oscar's car and the other one, and I must say that he's given all out to it. He must be ready to die as to have crashed into the car at full speed without hesitation. The other car would have crashed into you and Jimmy if he had hesitated a little or slowed down a bit. In that case, you would have been the one lying on bed, not Oscar!"
Actually, Hannah knew someone had saved her the moment she had heard the cars crashing when she held her head and got everything ready.
Never would she forget the sound of impact at the moment.
