CHAPTER 862 HANNAH TRIES WALKING
Chapter 862 Hannah Tries Walking
Theodore and Susan were there for Manuel out of the ICU. In another ward, Hannah tried getting off
the bed with the help of the nurses. She had been in bed since the cesarean section. The pain was so
sharp that she couldn't help to frown when she landed her feet on the ground again.
Oscar stayed by her side, looked at her face and asked with concern, "Does it hurt a lot?"
"It's OK," Hannah said lightly since she had been used to this kind of pain.
"You can try later if it hurts too much."
"No. It doesn't hurt that much." Said Hannah indifferently.
Oscar pursed his lips and said nothing else. Hannah endured the pain and took another two steps.
"Ms Cooper, so much for today. Take it easy." Reminded a nurse.
"OK," Hannah said and nodded.
She went back to bed. One moment later, she told the nurse to help her get up and practised walking a
few more times.
"I wanna go out of the room." Said Hannah.
"Ms Cooper, slow it down. It's the very first day that you get off bed. You'll be injured if you fall by
accident." Advised the nurse.
"No worries. I can do it." Said Hannah firmly.
The nurse was in a dilemma. She looked back at Oscar to ask for his permission. Oscar nodded and
agreed.
"Alright. But don't go too far." Said the nurse.
Hannah said nothing in response and walked out step by step with the help of the nursing worker. As
expected, a bunch of guards in black were watching the door. Probably, the whole floor was cleared out
and no one was allowed to come close. Hannah struggled to walk down the corridor for a long distance
and finally reached the elevator.
"Ms Cooper, where are you going?" asked the nurse.
"I'm going to the ICU." Said Hannah honestly. She thought Manuel was there. The ICU was quite far Content is property of .
away, and it was pretty dangerous to walk there on her first attempt.
"Bring the wheelchair." Said Oscar, who had been walking slowly behind Hannah's back.
The nurse sent for a wheelchair immediately.
But Hannah didn't ride in the wheelchair and said, "I'll sit down if I'm too tired to walk again."
Oscar nodded and the nurse had no choice but to follow her with the wheelchair. They went to the ICU
on the elevator. From afar in the long corridor, Hannah saw Theodore and Susan.
Did it mean Manuel was still in danger? She held back her sadness and went over to them step by
step. The bunch of people following her back had to slow down along with her. Theodore and Susan
had heard them.
Susan turned around and saw Hannah, wondering why she was walking on her own. Didn't she have
the cesarean operation the day before? How could she risk her life by walking?
Susan went towards her immediately, "Hannah, what are you doing here?"
Hannah looked at her worried face and felt bad.
"I wanna check on Manuel." She said.
"He's in the ICU. You shouldn't have come. You just had a baby, and you should lie down and rest well.
How can you wander around like this?" said Susan in anger and distress.
Hannah said with a smile, "Let me just take a look at him."
Susan didn't want her to see Manuel, fearing that she would feel worse by seeing him so badly injured.
But Hannah walked over slowly before Susan said anything. Through the window, she saw Manuel
lying still in bed, which was much worse than she'd imagined.
She knew Manuel would be badly injured in the terrible car accident but didn't imagine the case would
be so very bad. She even couldn't recognize him with so many tubes and machines to keep him
breathing. Hannah wept silently.
"Oh, please don't cry, Hannah." Said Susan. She had tried so hard to hold back her tears but cried
again when she saw Hannah in tears.
"I'm so sorry." Apologized Hannah. She didn't know what else to say.
Theodore cut in before Susan could say a word, "You knew it would be dangerous but still insisted on
doing it. Do you regret it now?"
"I regret it." Said Hannah. It was true that she regretted it because so many people had nearly died for
her.
Theodore was about to say something else, but Oscar gave him a sharp glance. Theodore shut up
instantly. Anyway, Oscar wasn't happy to see Hannah get hurt though he was deeply hurt inside.
"Let's get out of here." Said Theodore.
Sometimes, he would just leave when he couldn't vent out his anger. Out of sight, out of mind. He
dragged Susan to leave with him.
"Let go of me, Theodore!" said Susan in anger.
Indeed, Theodore was still that Theodore, who was so annoying.
"Catch some sleep if you don't wanna die! I'm afraid you die sooner than Manuel!"
Susan was out of words and wondering how he could be so mean. Then she was dragged away.
Seeing that, Hannah was grateful for Theodore and thought anyone working for Oscar was more useful
than him, like Manuel and Theodore, who had helped a lot. But, Oscar had done nothing.
But she didn't blame him. She understood his responsibilities and concerns and he couldn't act at will.
It didn't matter that he couldn't do it himself, because she would be up to it. She managed to chill out,
watched peacefully Manuel in the ICU and turned around to leave. She walked away step by step, and
all the others followed her once again.
She got in the elevator and asked, "Where's the baby?"
Oscar froze while he was about to press the button.
"I wanna see him." Said Hannah lightly. Maybe she was holding back her feelings.
Oscar felt his fingers shaking slightly. His sudden silence had got Hannah's attention.
"Is he dead?" asked she. The doctor said the baby was in very poor health when she was on the
operation table. A newborn baby wasn't strong enough to fight the sickness.
Oscar shook his head immediately and answered, "Nah. He's in the infant incubator."
Hannah felt like crying. She thought she could accept any results, but it still stung her.
"I wanna go see him." Said she.
Oscar nodded. He pressed the button, wondering what he could do to make it up to Hannah. Maybe he
could only give all she wanted to soothe her pain, even if she would leave him in the end.
