Chapter 176 Why Don't Villains Die?
Hanna's kiss was so abrupt that it took Henry a long time to come to his senses.
Then, a silly smile appeared on his face that he didn't even notice.
Half a second later.
Hanna got exhausted from the fun. She lay on his shoulder as he held her, looking as if she was about to fall asleep.
She looked like a koala bear.
"I'll send you back!"
"Mister... Is it okay to leave your car there?" Aunt Poppy asked.
"It'll be fine!"
"Uncle, I had so much fun today..." Her kittenish voice was filled with satisfaction.
"What's your full name?" Henry asked softly.
Hanna lay on his shoulder and said, "My name is Hanna Lopez."
"Hanna Lopez?" Did Hanna not have her father's surname?
"How old are you? Why are you so thin?" Henry hugged her. He thought she was very light. It made her think she was not eating well or absorbing well. Hanna revealed a faint smile, and her dimples appeared. She whispered, "I'm three and a half years old..."
Henry frowned. Three and a half years old?
Kasen and Danny were five years old.
Didn't it mean Rosa met a man half a year after she went abroad?
And had Hanna?
"Uncle, I'm in the junior class at International kindergarten!"
Henry smiled and said, "My sons are in the senior classes, but they're smart. They could even answer primary school quizzes."
Hanna tilted her head. "Are they that smart?"
"How about I bring them to play with you next time?"
"Yay! I've always wanted older brothers. I've always been jealous of others who have them!" Hanna smiled.
"By the way, did your mother show you your father's photos?"
Hanna was in a daze. "No, Mom only shows me photos of my uncle..."
"Uncle?"
"Yes. Mom says Uncle Cecil liked this name, so she named me Hanna. She tells me we should always remember Uncle Cecil!"
Henry rubbed her hair and smiled dotingly. "You have a nice name, Hanna. You must miss your uncle a lot."
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid of him..." Her body shook as she said.
Henry did not understand. He patted her back gently and said, "Why are you afraid of him? I remember your uncle liked little girls. If he knew about you, he would love you to bits." Hanna straightened up slightly and looked at Henry with a sad expression. "Every year on Uncle Cecil's death anniversary, Mom is always so sad... She will drink and cry for a long time." With this, Hanna looked at him and pouted. "Why don't villains die?"
Henry was stunned. He then looked at her and asked, "What?"
"Mom always says that when she cries." Hanna shrank. "She looks so terrible on Uncle Cecil's death anniversary. She will..."
"What does she do?" Henry asked.
"She will use her nails to scratch her arms and make herself bleed. She will cry and apologize for failing to protect him. So, I am afraid of Uncle Cecil's death anniversary."
"Why don't villains die?" he repeated in a low voice, and his eyes were so gentle and sharp.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Hanna frowned and looked at him.
Before Henry could say something, some images appeared in his mind.
"I told you she was unreliable. She ran away right after giving birth to your sons! They are still in the intensive care unit. If she loves you, why did she leave you and your sons and run away!" Mrs. Lewis roared. "Henry, I know you are sad, but you know it's hard to forget one's first love! She doesn't love you!" Asher's voice lingered in his mind.
"Henry, look. You have a notification on your Whatsapp. Is there something wrong with her?" Paige said as soon as they got off the plane.
"Henry, I've never loved you. I love Mr. Wright. You forced me. We won't be happy together. I'm tired. I want to leave with him. Please let me go. Don't look for me. I beg you." Rosa's voice sounded before he collapsed. "My brother is dead. I can finally get rid of you..."
"Uncle Henry, Grace killed Cecil!" Miranda's shrills sounded in his head.
"Miranda, what are you saying? Cecil died in the park in broad daylight. Are you saying Grace brought a knife to the park?" Asher bellowed.
"Why isn't Geoffrey sending you away yet! You have done none of your homework!" Mrs. Lewis was furious.
Back then, he couldn't listen to anything.
The only voice in his head was the words from the Whatsapp voice message. "I can finally get rid of you.."
"Henry, stop thinking. Do you think we will lie to you?" Asher said again.
At this time, the security guard came over and said, "Mrs. Lewis, I have the surveillance footage that you've asked for."
Mrs. Lewis immediately played the footage on the TV.
Then, someone screamed, "Look, Henry. Isn't that her? She is whispering with that jerk by the lake!"
Henry raised his red eyes and saw Rosa standing by the lake with her back to him. Andy stood opposite her with a dazzling smile. What were they talking about?
Why was Andy smiling so happily?
"Look! look at how happy the scum is! They must be discussing their elopement!"
The crowd seemed to be giving a perfect description of the silent surveillance footage. Henry smiled coldly. Was everything in the past fake?
He didn't believe it. He refused to eat or drink and immediately went to investigate the matter.
However, all the results showed that Rosa took the same flight as Andy.
Moreover, he obtained photos of Rosa nestling in Andy's arms at the airport.

He even investigated about Cecil's death after hearing what Miranda said.
The police said Cecil died of a heart attack, and there was no solid evidence that it had something to do with Grace. Later, they found Cecil's medicine in the grass. It seemed Cecil dropped it and didn't manage to suppress the heart attack.
A series of incidents directed him to Rosa's ruthless betrayal.
Rosa was so cruel that she abandoned their sons.
Rosa was so cruel that she didn't attend her brother's funeral.
She did it to leave him to be with her lover?
All the answers he found made him collapse. He ran to the kitchen and lit a fire.
He wanted to burn down the Silver Beach Villa.
He was going to burn them all!
"Uncle. Uncle..." Hanna's childish voice sounded again.
Henry looked at her and forced a smile. "Hanna, you're a good girl, so don't tell your mother about this."
Hanna tilted her head and asked, "Why?"
"It's our secret. Your mother will be angry if she knows you tell me of her secret."
Hanna smiled and said, "Okay. It's our secret then."
Henry didn't say anything. He held her in her arms and walked forward gloomily.
It seemed that what had happened five years ago was not that simple.
He had to go back and check again!
"I'll pick you up after work tonight!" Andy parked the car by her company and said.
Rosa looked at him and said with a smile, "No need for that. It's more convenient for me to take a taxi.. You've just returned, and you must be busy with work. You don'thave to mind me."
"It doesn't matter. Your workplace is on the way. I'll pick you up!" His tone was certain.
Seeing this, Rosa had no choice but to say, "Okay!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she unfastened her seat belt and was ready to get out of the car.
"Rosa..." Andy suddenly stopped her.
"Yes?" Rosa tilted her head to look at him. "What's wrong?"
"Will he find... find out that Hanna is his daughter?" Although Hanna looked like Rosa, Hanna did resemble Henry in some ways.
He was worried.
Rosa frowned, and the corners of
her mouth twitched. She then
comforted herself and him, "It's
okay. He won't know. Hanna looks younger than her peers. She doesn't look like she was born with her
σ
brothers. No one knew I was
pregnant with triplets, so he wouldn't know!"
Andy was a little worried. "But will he believe that you had Hanna with someone else? He will investigate for sure!"
"It's okay. Lye arranged everything
while abroad. He won't find
anything. I won't give Hanna to the
Lewis family. They have already taken away my two sons!" Rosa could not help clenching her fists.
Hanna was hers, and no one was allowed to take Hanna away!
Andy immediately grabbed her hand and said, "Rosa, don't be afraid. I will be by your side. I will protect you and Hanna!"
Rosa was a little embarrassed. She withdrew her hand and got out of the car with her bag.
"I'm leaving!"
Andy forced a smile and said, "Okay!"
Then, he looked at his hand with disappointment.
Rosa got in the elevator and walked to Quaductions's office.
As soon as she reached, Harmony called out to her, "Director Reborn."
Rosa walked over and looked at her.
Harmony pointed at her office where the blinds were drawn. She mouthed, "There's someone there."
Rosa frowned slightly. There was someone in her office?
Who was in her office?
Rosa walked over and opened the door.
The black leather chair was facing the other way, and someone was sitting on it.
Rosa closed the door and said in a cold voice, "Are you looking for me?"
The person in the chair immediately turned around.
Rosa was stunned before smiling, "Mrs. Lewis, long time no see!"
It was no one other than the person who had always looked down on her, Mrs. Lewis, Henry's mother!
Mrs. Lewis stared at her with sinister eyes. "Why did you come back?"
Rosa threw her bag onto the sofa and opened the cabinet to look for some comfortable slippers. She didn't even look at Mrs. Lewis.
"Why did you come back? Didn't you leave with your lover?"
Rosa took off her high heels and put on the comfortable slippers. She felt much more relaxed.
"I'm asking you a question." Mrs. Lewis was annoyed when she saw that Rosa did not look at her.
Rosa looked at her and said in a funny tone, "Why did I come back? Mrs. Lewis, you're funny."
As Rosa spoke, she placed her hands on the table and looked down at Mrs. Lewis. She smiled mockingly as she looked at Mrs. Lewis indifferently. "Didn't you know why I left?"
