Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 724

Chapter 724 Plane Accident

Oscar only drove back to their apartment in the city after the plane disappeared from his sight. After he had dinner with Tony, the two of them had a thirty-minute playtime that was surprisingly peaceful. Then, he gave Tony a bath and tucked the boy into bed. It was then that his phone rang with a call from Linda.

She sounded anxious as she stuttered, “M-Mr. Clinton, the plane Mrs. Clinton is on lost contact due to turbulence. My friend who works in the airport knows that I bought a ticket for this flight, so she gave me a call.”

Instantly, Oscar’s face fell. A dry lump formed in his throat, constricting his neck. “I got it.” He then tried to phone Hugo to ask the latter to check the authenticity of the news, but he couldn’t even press the screen properly with his trembling fingers.

When he finally managed to make the call, he told Hugo, “Hugo, find out what happened with Amelia’s flight to Saspiuburg.” Even his voice quivered slightly as he spoke.

“Got it, Boss.” Upon hanging up, Oscar looked at Tony’s peaceful expression. He whispered, “Don’t worry, Tony. I won’t let anything bad happen to your mom. She is mine. Not even Hades can take her from me.”

Minutes felt like years as Oscar waited for the news. Mixed feelings filled his heart—he was scared to receive Hugo’s phone call, but he also looked forward to him bringing good news. Not long after, Hugo’s call came.

“Mr. Clinton, Mrs. Clinton’s plane temporarily lost contact with the airline company half an hour ago due to turbulence. However, please don’t worry. The search and rescue teams are currently at work. Mrs. Clinton will be fine,” Hugo reassured.

Oscar felt his head throb. “Hugo, instruct the men to find the plane. I don’t trust the airline company. I have to look into this myself and find Amelia immediately,” he declared in a low voice.

“Got it, Mr. Clinton. I’ll inform everyone and tell them to locate the plane.”

“All right.”

With that, Hugo gathered all the men he had in the shortest time. Among them, one man was as panicked as Oscar—Kurt.

“Hugo, is Amelia really on that missing plane?” he asked with a dark expression.

“I know you don’t want to believe this, but Mrs. Clinton is on that plane. Mr. Clinton must be going crazy. Otherwise, he wouldn’t ask everyone to locate that plane. Now, we can only hope that the plane only lost touch temporarily. If not… Well, Mrs. Clinton is a blessed woman, and I’m sure she’ll be fine. Don’t you worry too much,” comforted Hugo as he patted Kurt’s shoulder, though his face also looked a little pale.

There had been many plane accidents in recent years, and once the plane lost contact, there was a big chance that the passengers would meet their demise. At that moment, they could do nothing but console themselves and hope that Amelia was safe.

Kurt slowly balled his hands into fists, his face was as black as thunder.

Seeing his expression, Hugo felt helpless. He knew the comforting words he had in mind could do nothing to cheer Kurt up.

“Kurt, stop overthinking. What we have to do now is to locate Mrs. Clinton by all means. Don’t think about anything else, okay?” he suggested.

Hugo was aware that Kurt never got over Amelia. Like an idiot, Kurt stayed away from Amelia to avoid disrupting her family. Instead, he resorted to protecting her and Tony in secret. He tried to keep a distance from her as much as possible.

He loved her silently in his own unique way.

“I know,” said Kurt with a hoarse voice.

Hugo glanced at him thoughtfully and stayed quiet.
