Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 735

Chapter 735 The Gift

After the master and the apprentice examined Eleanor and had a quiet discussion, the former said, “Mr. Hutton, judging from Mrs. Hutton’s current condition, I’d recommend conservative treatment first. For now, her brain isn’t in the best condition for surgery, but don’t worry. We will develop a new medicine that can reduce her headache as much as possible to contain the malignant transformation of her skull.” “How big of a chance can it be treated?” Benjamin’s joy disappeared completely in an instant.

“Be patient, Mr. Hutton. The malignant tumor has already spread to the late stage. By right, there’s a low chance of curing this sickness. But lately, I’ve been developing medicine that can subdue this disease. I’ve also picked up several new herbs. If it works, the success rate can be as high as seventy-five percent.”

“Professor, please hurry up with your research. If you need any funds, I can support you. Just let me know if you need anything. As long as you can cure my wife, everything else isn’t a problem.”

The mentor nodded. “I’ll continue my research with James, so I’ll take my leave now.” After James and his mentor left the ward, James asked, “Professor, how confident are you regarding Mrs. Hutton’s case?”

“Thirty percent. Her case is very tricky. Her condition changes faster than any other I’ve seen in the medical field. Otherwise, it would not have reached the middle stage within a few months. It’s possible that her cancer is in its late stage now. But I admire her will to live. Her brain cells are very active, so this means she is unwilling to die just like that. This can also be a good opportunity for us to save her.”

James nodded. He thought so too.

The two of them made their way to the meeting room, and James gathered the neurologists in the hospital for a meeting to discuss Eleanor’s case.

The discussions in the meeting room were getting heated. In the ward, Benjamin glanced at Amelia and said awkwardly, “Thank you, Lia. I didn’t expect you to ask him to come here. I’ve heard about his achievements in the medical field. With his help, I believe your mom will have a higher recovery rate.”

Amelia was about to say something when Oscar’s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and realized it was his secretary, Linda.

He picked up the phone. After he listened to what Linda said for a while, his expression turned solemn. Once he hung up, Amelia asked worriedly, “Oscar, what’s wrong?”

“There’s a small issue at the company. I have to go back for a while. I’ll come back soon.” “Okay. Do you need me to go with you?”

“No. I can handle it myself.” The moment Oscar left, the atmosphere in the ward turned tense. “Oscar seems busy.”

“He has a big company to run. My father-in-law handed over the reins to Oscar, so his workload has increased. Besides, he has been pretty stressed lately because of the matter related to his employee absconding with the money and stealing information.”

Benjamin nodded.

Amelia walked over to the side of the bed to look at Eleanor, who was still sleeping. She didn’t have much to say to Benjamin.

Isabella was already waiting for Oscar at the entrance when he got there. She went up to him immediately when she saw him. “Oscar, you’re finally here! There are some problems with the software designs during your absence in the past two days. Some clients have provided feedback that their customers were seriously injured from getting electrocuted when using their phones. Two police officers came to investigate, but we’ve sent them away.”

“Have you and the others visited the patients who were electrocuted?”

“Oscar, we’ve sent someone to the hospital the moment we learned about it. However, those patients were still unconscious, and their family members were very emotionally unstable. They said that the phones manufactured under Clinton Corporations are defective, and whoever uses them will get hurt or die. If our competition uses this to spread rumors on the internet, I’m afraid it will have a massive impact on us,” Isabella said after considering the advantages and disadvantages.

Oscar replied calmly, “Get public relations to pay attention to the trend on the internet and send someone to see if anyone else was hurt because of the phone. If it’s only a few people who got hurt, there won’t be any other problems if we compensate them well.”

“Don’t worry, Oscar. I’ve already sent someone to look into it and deal with the compensation matters. As long as the victims’ family members are satisfied with money, they will keep their mouths shut. However, I think our priority is to investigate why the technical department would make such a low-level mistake. From my knowledge, Clinton Corporations has been designing phones and parts for many years, and the phones became top-sellers as soon as they were launched. The two brands, Vevio and Oqqion, have gotten a lot of good reviews in the country and abroad, so I doubt there are any problems here,” she said as she walked behind him.

Oscar pursed his lips, looking very serious.

Upstairs, Oscar gathered all the company executives for a meeting in the meeting room to discuss the emergency measures.

Oscar knew that someone was attacking Clinton Corporations in the shadows. It seems that the person behind this is well-prepared. He’s able to make Clinton Corporations, which has been standing strong all these years, face two big problems twice. He’s incredible.

Oscar sat at the head of the table and put his hand on his forehead. “Everyone, what do you think about the matter of the electrocution of our phones which made the users pass out?” he asked in a plain voice.

“Mr. Clinton, I’m to blame for this since it’s the technical department’s fault. However, our products passed the inspection before we launched them. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. I’m willing to take full responsibility,” the manager of the technical department said. Oswald was in his thirties, and he looked like a mild-mannered man in his rim glasses.

Oscar glanced at him. “Oswald, the purpose of this meeting is not to ask you to take up the responsibility. Besides, even if you do that, it’s out of your league. The company will deal with that. What I need is a solution from you.”

Oswald thought about it and replied, “Yes, Mr. Clinton. After the incident, I’ve already gathered everyone in the technical department to examine the phones to see if there are any problems with them. However, all of the test devices passed the inspection. Therefore, I believe that those who were electrocuted were either playing with their phones or calling someone when their phones were charging. It should be their own fault, so—”

“So, you’re saying that the five victims were playing with their phones or making phone calls at the same time?” Oscar asked coldly.

It’s possible for one victim to become unconscious after getting electrocuted. However, for five users who were at different places to be in the same situation, and all of them were using phones manufactured by Clinton Corporations, I’m sure it wasn’t a coincidence. There must be a hidden danger somewhere in the quality of the phones.

Because of Oscar’s dominating aura, Oswald involuntarily avoided Oscar’s scary gaze. Oswald stuttered, “M-Mr. Clinton, t-t-that’s not what I meant. I meant that it must be an accident.”

“I don’t care if it was an accident or a coincidence. The technical department has to give me a logical explanation. As for the public relations department, pay attention to the trend on the internet. I don’t want to see any negative or bad comments about Clinton Corporations.”

“Yes, Mr. Clinton.”

“Anything else? If you have nothing else to say, we’ll end the meeting now.”

Everyone was a little down and left the meeting room with long faces after being lectured by Oscar. The employees were worried too since too many things had been happening lately.

“Oscar, I heard that Amelia’s mother is hospitalized in Tayhaven. Can I know which hospital she’s in? I’d like to visit her,” Isabella said, putting on a gentle expression as she held the files close to her chest.

“Haven’t you heard about it already?” Oscar asked with a frown. In other words, he meant, “You’ve already known about it, yet you still ask me pretentiously. It’s obvious that you are faking your concerns.”

Isabella’s expression darkened at that. She laughed. “Oscar, don’t take it the wrong way. I’m just worried you’ll think I’m nosy and disturb Mrs. Hutton’s rest. So, I’m asking for your opinion first.”

“You don’t have to.”

Her eyes lit up as she said, “Oscar, are you saying I can visit Mrs. Hutton?”
