Chapter 727 Safe And Sound
In the afternoon, Oscar took Tony to the headquarters of the organization. Even though Tony was only less than three years old, he had Oscar’s demeanor as he walked quietly by Oscar’s side with a stern face. After all, the two of them looked alike.
The people in the organization were inevitably a little shocked when they saw Oscar with a child. Even though they were shocked, they still greeted Oscar respectfully, ”Boss.” Then, they asked, “Why did you bring Mr. Anthony here?”
“Is everyone here?” Oscar answered with a question. “Boss, everyone has arrived except for a few people who are performing tasks abroad,” said one of them. “Tell them to go to the conference room. I have something to say.”
“Yes, Boss.” After a while, the conference room was filled with the core figures of the organization. Oscar was sitting in the main seat and Tony was sitting in the small chair especially arranged for him.
Everyone was staring at Tony, and there was a trace of curiosity in their eyes.
Oscar cleared his throat and said, “Now that everyone’s here, let me introduce all of you that this is my son, Anthony. I believe you have all seen him before. Kurt and Hugo are specially assigned to protect him.”
Once he finished speaking, everyone else stood up one after another and greeted respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Anthony.” Tony looked at them without being afraid. He replied, “Hello, everybody.”
The people who were stern-faced laughed out loud. A woman with heavy makeup said, “You are so cute. You are basically a combination of Mrs. Clinton and Boss. When you grow up, you will surely be better than your parents.”
Tony’s expression was grim. He replied with his baby voice, “Thank you. You are very beautiful.”
After the exchange, Oscar clapped his hands and said, “Everyone, the reason I called you here today is I want you all to do your best to find the whereabouts of my wife, and to tell you all that Tony will be one of us in the future. I will train him and in the future, you must obey his orders too apart from me.”
Everyone was not shocked at all. Instead, they replied, “Yes, Boss. We will use our lives to protect Mr. Anthony.” Oscar nodded. When he was about to say something, someone hurried in without even knocking on the door.
“Boss, the informant we placed at the airport called and said that the search and rescue team had located the plane’s location. They said that it flew to an unknown island not far from the Ibican Ocean. No one was injured or dead but they were seriously short of food. Several people have fainted because of starvation. We don’t know who those people were for the time being,” the person who came in reported everything that happened.
Oscar immediately stood up from the chair. Because of his excitement, the chair was hit and turned several times before it stopped.
He asked agitatedly, “Has the news been confirmed?”
“Yes, Boss. The news is absolutely true,” the man replied.
Oscar carried Tony up and kissed his face several times as he got emotional. Then, he said to him, “Tony, we found your mommy. And now, we’re going to bring her back.”
Tony finally smiled. He kissed Oscar several times on the face for the first time ever before saying, “Okay. Let’s go bring mommy back together.”
The others watched the interaction between the father and son, and started smiling. Poof, now that Ms. Amelia is found, we don’t have to face Mr. Clinton’s Oscar’s petrifying presence for a while at least.
Not everyone could put up with Oscar’s invisible petrifying chilliness.
Finally, we’re free.
Oscar carried Tony and asked someone to prepare a private jet. After that, they were brought to that unknown island.
Sitting on the plane, every second felt like torture for Oscar. He was afraid that Amelia would be hungry and grow thin without food to eat in the past few days, and he was afraid of injuries that she might have suffered. For ten hours, Oscar thought of countless possibilities, but he calmed down the moment he reached the island.
Seeing the medical staff coming and going on the island, Oscar walked over quickly with Tony in his arms, searching for Amelia’s figure everywhere, but he couldn’t find her.
He grabbed a medical staff passing by and asked, “Have you seen my wife? She is tall, thin, and very beautiful.”
Initially, the medical staff wanted to scold him but kept it in after seeing that he was a handsome guy. He replied gently, “Mister, some people who fainted on the plane have been bandaged and sent to the hospital. As for the others, they were arranged to rest in the tents because it’s too late now. If you are in a hurry, you can go look for her there.”
“Thank you!” After Oscar finished speaking, he carried Tony and ran quickly in the other direction, and the bodyguards with him followed quickly as well.
Oscar found Amelia in a place with few people. Looking at Amelia who was talking to Jolin not far away, he felt the joy of regaining something precious that he thought he had lost. Oscar couldn’t help but almost cry. He thought he was going to lose her, but he didn’t expect to meet her again after a turn of events. That was simply God’s favor for him.
Oscar just stared at Amelia’s back, but Tony had slipped off from his arms and ran toward Amelia. He shouted excitedly, “Mommy, mommy…”
Amelia, who was talking to Jolin at first, was stunned for a moment. Then, she turned her head and saw a little fella running toward her. Not far away, there was also an adult staring at her. Amelia’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red. Oh god, they are here to see me.
“Tony.” Amelia hugged Tony excitedly, feeling the soft body buried in her arms. Her heart almost softened into a bay of water.
Oscar also came over and wrapped his wife and son in his arms. He said in a muffled voice, “Amelia, thank God that you’re okay.”
Amelia turned her head and kissed him on the lips. “I thought that I was going to die, and I didn’t expect that I can see you and Tony again. I’m so happy. If it wasn’t for Jolin, I’m afraid I’m going to starve to death,” Amelia said with a smile.
Oscar furrowed his brows and said sternly, “Don’t say the word ‘die’. You are mine and no one can take you away from me, not even Hades.”
Amelia knew that Oscar was frightened. So, she said softly, “I’m sorry for frightening you.”
Oscar kissed her on the lips. He wanted to give her a wet kiss, but fortunately, Amelia remember that Tony was still in her arms. Knowing that children should not see something a little inappropriate, she raised her hand to cover Oscar’s mouth. “Not now, Oscar. Tony’s here.”
Oscar let go of Amelia. Then, he raised his hand and patted Tony’s head. “Tony is already a little man. He knows that this is what people who love each other will do. Right, Tony?”
Tony rolled his eyes and said arrogantly, “Big Meanie, Mommy is back, so I will not argue with you. But you are not allowed to bully Mommy in front of me in the future, or I will be the first to challenge you when I learn martial arts from you.”
“I look forward to it.” Oscar smiled.
