Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 566

Chapter 566 Find The Culprit

Raising his hand, Joseph wiped the sweat from his forehead. Awkwardly, he said, “Oscar, I’m afraid this conversation won’t go anywhere if you are unwilling to cooperate.”

Oscar stared at Joseph with dark eyes.

“Dr. Jenkins, your abilities were highly praised by Julian. Is this the best you can do?” A dangerous glint flashed across Oscar’s eyes as he narrowed them.

Joseph was acutely aware of the dangerous aura emanating from Oscar. He smiled, “Calm down, Oscar. Let’s chat like old friends. Don’t think of me as a psychiatrist. Let’s take this one step at a time, okay?”

Oscar’s expression suddenly changed like the unpredictable weather in June. He’d always had a temperamental personality. Even an experienced psychiatrist like Joseph could not help but cower before him, not daring to make a fuss.

“This way, please. Let’s have a good chat.” Since the hypnosis wasn’t working, Joseph resorted to having a heart-to-heart conversation in hopes that he would be able to get a grasp on his patient.

Oscar’s heart was heavily barricaded. He constantly had his guard up and his mental strength was many times stronger than an ordinary person’s, thus making it extremely difficult for someone to work their way in. It was a process that would take a lot of time. Only a fool would think it was an easy task.

Oscar adjusted his clothes and replied icily, “No need. I don’t think I require a psychiatrist’s help as the service is really subpar. I’ll be taking my leave.”

Despite his mixed feelings, Joseph did not dare stop Oscar.

“My door is open anytime you feel the need to talk to someone,” Joseph said as he walked Oscar out. The latter nodded briefly and strode away.

Oscar went downstairs and called Julian on his phone. “I’m downstairs. Come pick me,” he said the moment the phone connected.

Julian drove the car to Oscar’s location fast as he possibly could. After entering the car, Oscar put on the seatbelt.

Julian gave Oscar a strange look. “That was quick. You were only inside for half an hour. What did you discuss?”

Oscar gave him a look as he said, “The psychiatrist you introduced, I’m afraid he’s just a smooth talker and has no ability whatsoever.”

Julian was utterly dumbfounded.

“Oscar, don’t forget he is a trained professional who needs to be able to speak well with his patients. Since there’s nothing wrong with you, don’t overthink it. Come, let’s go have a meal. Your relationship with Amelia is fine, don’t overthink it and scare her away or you’d be left crying,” Julian reminded him.

Oscar massaged his head. He had been stressed over work lately, and it didn’t help matters when he witnessed Amelia interacting with another man. Although he professed he didn’t care, it was just a strong front. How could he not care when it came to the matter of his beloved?

Julian looked at him worriedly. “Hey, just take it easy. It’s not helping Amelia or yourself if you’re so tightly wound up all the time. She’s a sensitive one and as your partner, she’s sure to find out.”

Sighing suddenly, Oscar closed his eyes and leaned back against the passenger seat. “Julian, I feel infuriated whenever I see the men who appear beside Amelia. I can’t help flying into a rage, and the urge to kill them would arise. I know it’s not right and this cannot continue. That’s the reason I’ve asked you to arrange an appointment with a psychiatrist. However, I can’t bring myself to trust the man.”

It was then Julian realized how severe the situation was.

Oscar’s mind had always been more mature than everyone else. Never exhibiting strong emotions, he usually acted cold and indifferent. Julian had never seen him act this way. Perhaps Oscar’s body had reached its limit, or perhaps there was a problem with his relationship with Amelia. However, the second option was less plausible as the two of them were as thick as thieves.

After a moment of thought, Julian said, “Oscar, what if I accompany you to the doctor? It would be fine if there isn’t a problem, but we should get it treated as soon as possible if there is. I’m sure you won’t want your negative emotions to affect Amelia and Tony.”

Oscar was silent.

“Okay, okay! Pretend I didn’t say anything. It must be hard to be in your position since you wield such authority over so many staff members. Obviously, it has taken a toll on your body.” Julian softened his tone as he tried to mollify Oscar.

“Turn around and head to the hospital.” After a long pause, Oscar finally replied.

Shocked, Julian momentarily lost his grip on the steering wheel and the car nearly veered off the road. He spun the car around and drove in the direction of the hospital. “Oscar, you’re really planning on going?” he asked.

“Weren’t you the one asking me to go?”

“Um, no. I was only joking.” Once again, Julian didn’t know if he should laugh or cry. He certainly did not expect Oscar to obediently do as he was told.

Following that, Oscar shut his eyes and pretended to nap, thereby ignoring Julian as the latter dutifully delivered Oscar to the hospital. Oscar had requested Robert arrange a private doctor to give him an examination.

Once at the hospital, Robert personally tended to Oscar and found a residue of a drug in his body. If taken in large quantities, it was a drug that could make a person easily irritable, and they would also lose their memories. It was harmless if taken in small doses, but once it accumulated to a certain amount, it made a person violent and lose control of their temper. It could also erase important memories.

Robert’s face hardened. “Oscar, it seems like you’ve been taking this drug for at least a year. You need to be more careful, as someone gave you this drug with ill intentions.”

Upon hearing Robert’s words, Oscar clenched and unclenched his fists. To think there is such a person near me.

“This person must be close to you for them to be able to meddle with your food and drink. Apart from family members, only the housekeeper and people from the company have close contact with you. It seems like this person is also cautious and bides their time by only giving you small doses each time. Otherwise, you would have imploded long before now. You can even lose your life if you take too much of the drug.” Robert finally spoke after a moment of contemplation.

Although Oscar’s expression remained calm on the surface, he was a ball of rage inwardly. How audacious of this person to drug me so boldly. They are going to pay dearly when I discover who they are.
