Chapter 352 Destined To Be Together
“Oh, you’re here again.” Boris’ appearance saved Collin from any further embarrassment.
“Hello, Mr. Jackman,” Oscar greeted him politely as he retracted the glare he was directing toward Collin.
“Amelia has left. I also just received the message your men delivered yesterday. If Amelia ever returns here for medical treatment, I will notify him myself. I can tell that the two of you have a deep bond that cannot be so easily severed. Fate will reunite the both of you again,” Boris said.
Immediately, Oscar’s stoic gaze softened. The corners of his mouth upturned as he replied, “Thank you very much, Mr. Jackman. I believe that Amelia and I will be together until our deaths, too.”
Boris beamed brightly. “Is there any other reason you came here today?”
“I’ll be flying back today. There is a lot of work waiting for me back home. I won’t be lingering around here anymore. Please take good care of Amelia. I will return to Beshya soon.”
A dark look seemed to flit across Boris’ gaze. Sizing Oscar up, Boris responded, “I see. Have a safe trip, then.”
“Mr. Jackman, I hope you’ll consider my funding for your clinic’s project study on the canthus. If there’s nothing else, let me take my leave first.”
“All right, I will think about it. Once I come to a decision, I will send you a personal response.”
“Here’s my name card.” Oscar handed Boris his card. “If you wish to contact me, please call the number on this card.”
Boris nodded and took the card from Oscar’s outstretched hand.
They had another short exchange before Oscar finally left.
After Oscar’s departure, Boris turned toward Collin. “Collin, do you still remember my advice? I told you that you are not Amelia’s Mr. Right. She has always been destined for a lavish life. The two of you are not compatible together.”
Even after hearing his words, Collin was still upset.
“Mr. Jackman, I don’t think that I’m worse off than Oscar. Although I’m a few years younger than Amelia, I believe that I’m much more mature. Aside from the topic of wealth, Oscar and I are still on equal footing!” Collin retorted heatedly.
Hearing that, Boris shook his head helplessly. “Collin, you can’t force a relationship to happen. I don’t want you to fall too deep. In the end, you will be the only one who gets hurt.”
A look of indignant crossed Collin’s face. Clearly, he was not willing to give up just yet.
“Collin, you are still young and immature. You youngsters are too reckless these days. You’ll never realize the fault of your actions until you receive its consequences. If you devote yourself to a relationship, it won’t be so easy for you to detach yourself from it. Think carefully about this matter, all right?” With that, Boris left without another word.
He made his way into a secluded office and took a white-colored remote from the shelf. With the click of a button, the office’s walls opened in half to reveal a secret stairway.
Descending the stairs, Boris arrived at a modern-looking ward. In the middle of the ward stood a bed made from metal. The woman lying on it was none other than Amelia herself.
Upon noticing Boris’ arrival, Tiffany and Kurt leaped to their feet. “Mr. Jackman, you’re here.”
Boris smiled at them affectionately before he dropped the bomb on them. “Earlier, Oscar dropped by.”
Promptly, Tiffany asked nervously, “Mr. Jackman, did he give you a hard time?”
Boris burst into laughter. “He’s not some kind of savage beast,” he said when he saw the anxious look on Tiffany’s face.
Hearing this, Tiffany heaved out a heavy sigh of relief.
“You must not be aware of Oscar’s fearsome wrath, Mr. Jackman. I was afraid that he’d take his anger out on you if he couldn’t find Amelia. I’m sure Amelia wouldn’t want to see years of your efforts destroyed because of her,” Tiffany said in earnest.
Boris merely smiled good-naturedly as he seemed utterly unconcerned.
“Don’t forget that I’m your senior. Throughout all these years, I’ve saved countless patients. Despite my odd temper, my wealthy patients were grateful for my help. Although I opened this clinic on my own, most of the equipment is priceless. Did you think I was the one who bought them? No, on the contrary, they were gifts from my various patients. If Oscar intends to destroy my work, it won’t be an easy task. Though I must admit that he’s a capable man, I’m not someone who will go down without a fight,” Boris declared proudly.
Although Boris was not a man who would go out seeking trouble, he was not one to shy away if it came knocking at his door.
Faced with Boris’ infectious grin, Tiffany let out a smile as well. Giving Boris a thumbs-up, she praised, “Mr. Jackman, you are one formidable man.”
All of a sudden, Boris changed the topic. “However, Oscar was much more impressive than I initially thought. From the first glance, I could tell that he and Amelia were a match made in heaven.”
Tiffany did not offer a reply.
Boris walked toward the bed and gave Amelia a thorough examination. “Her recovery is looking good.”
Nevertheless, Tiffany was not convinced. “Mr. Jackman, Amelia insisted on recording the video yesterday. After forcing herself to speak for a few minutes, she fainted as soon as the recording ended. Are you sure she’s all right?”
