Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 559

Chapter 559 Apologize To That Girl

After reaching home, Amelia did not mention the Larsons and continued to live a simple and blissful life with her family of three in the condominium.

However, she still asked Jolin to inquire about Laura’s condition the next day.

Through some of her connections, Jolin gained a clear understanding of Laura’s situation.

“Mrs. Clinton, Jennifer sent her mother to the city for a checkup yesterday. Coincidently, she’s in Principal General Hospital, so I asked around the people there and learned that she’s doing fine,” she reported, only mentioning the less important bits.

Hearing that, Amelia nodded and silently felt relieved because she did not want to have anything to do with Jennifer. After all, Laura was the cause of the whole incident, and Oscar punished her out of anger because she harmed her first. Now that she’s all right, we shall steer clear of each other’s path and live our lives.

Alas, it did not necessarily mean others would share her sentiments. Ultimately, one should not bear malice toward others and must be cautious.

Jolin added, “Mrs. Clinton, I don’t think Jennifer is a good person. Do you want me to teach her a lesson? So that she’ll know that you, the daughter-in-law of the Clinton family, is not a pushover.”

“No.”

After a short pause, Amelia continued, “Jolin, go about with your work now. You don’t need to watch over me at the moment.”

“Yes, Mrs. Clinton.”

Amelia sighed in relief after Jolin left.

All of a sudden, she had a whim to clean the house. Just as she was reaching out for the broom, her phone rang.

She picked up the phone, and the person from the other end of the line said, “Are you Ms. Winters? I’m calling from Lightspring Police Station. Do you know someone called Eva Winters? She’s under arrest for assaulting a young lady in her twenties, and she has been causing a ruckus, demanding that we call you over.”

Her hand that was holding the phone trembled a little while her forehead throbbed. Why is it that problems are popping up one after another suddenly?

“Yes, I am. I’ll be right there,” she replied and hung up the phone afterward. Right at that moment, Oscar walked downstairs and asked who the caller was.

“It’s the police. They told me that Eva hit a young lady.” Amelia sighed. “Oscar, accompany me to the police station.”

“No need. I can ask a lawyer to head over and bring Eva back, so you don’t have to make the trip,” he suggested.

Amelia thought for a moment and found his suggestion reasonable, so she agreed with it.

The moment Eva was brought to their doorstep, her disheveled hair and bruises on the corner of her lips gave Amelia a fright that she quickly pulled her into the house, whereas the lawyer sent by Oscar followed behind her. He was a handsome, bespectacled man in his thirties.

“Mr. Clinton, I’ve brought her back. If there is nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”

Oscar nodded in response.

After the lawyer left, he closed the door and walked back to the couch.

In a nearly indifferent manner, he stared at the wound on Eva’s face and demanded, “Tell us. How did you end up like this? Didn’t you know you would worry Amelia?”

Eva was not afraid of him when Oscar was silent like usual. However, whenever he put on a stern face, the oppressive aura that exuded from him would ignite fear in her heart.

“I-It was nothing, Oscar. The other person sustained injuries worse than me,” she stammered.

Crossing his arms before his chest, he looked down at the miserable-looking Eva. “Eva, you sure have become bold now. If so, don’t call your sister for help. Although both of you are cousins, she’s not obligated to help you clean up the mess.”

Eva’s face fell as soon as she heard his criticism.

She stood up from the couch, bowed to Amelia, and uttered huffily, “Amelia, I’m going back now. I wouldn’t want to trouble you since I’m a delinquent. I’ll be a disgrace to you if I stay with you.”

Amelia stood up, hurriedly held Eva back, and persuaded the latter to stay. “Oscar was joking with you just now. Take a shower upstairs, change into clean clothes, and we’ll talk again, okay?”

Even though Eva was dressed in a punk style and looked like a female delinquent, she was obedient. In addition, she was never a person who would ignore one’s kindness when she was upset.

Walking past Oscar, she obediently went upstairs to take a hot shower.
