Chapter 742 Listen To Your Sister
Just as Oscar left the ward, he saw Amelia Hutton and her brother walking toward him. While he did give Sean a polite nod as a greeting, he paid no attention to the latter’s sister.
Amelia Hutton passed the purse in her hand to Sean, trotted toward Oscar, and said, “Oscar, we’ve just arrived in Tayhaven, and we aren’t familiar with the city. Could you bring me around?”
At long last, Oscar cast her a glance but looked away immediately. Afterward, he walked around her and arrived before Sean. “Control your sister,” Oscar said.
A tinge of embarrassment flitted across Sean’s eyes, and he replied apologetically, “Oscar, no, I mean, Mr. Clinton, please don’t mind her. She’s just joking with you.”
His sister returned to his side and said to him, “Sean, bring our luggage over to the ward first. I would like to talk with Oscar.”
Sean’s face turned red. It was apparent that he was angry. “Amelia, can you stop messing around?” he said in a low voice. Oscar had no interest in listening to their bicker, so he stated icily, “I still have something going on in the office, so I shall excuse myself.”

After saying that, he walked around them and left. Amelia Hutton wanted to follow him but was held back by Sean.
“Sean, what are you doing? Can’t you see that Oscar has already left?” she asked anxiously.
“Amelia, enough is enough.” The veins on Sean’s forehead were bulging from anger. ”Mom is still hospitalized, yet all you care about is romancing a man? Are you trying to enrage me?”
Amelia Hutton shook his hand off her wrist and glanced at the passing patients before retorting furiously, “What do you mean by that? I have finally fallen in love with someone. What’s wrong with pursuing love? I know Mom is still in the hospital, but she only wants to be taken care of by Amelia Winters. Since that’s the case, what’s wrong with me spending my time courting a man?”
At that moment, Sean was beside himself with fury.
“I think you are just stupid,” he growled. “You can dig your own grave as you please, but if you drag our family down, I’ll make you pay for it.”
“How am I stupid? Sean, I think you are being absurd!” she snapped and pushed him away before heading directly into the ward.
Clenching his fists tightly, Sean cursed his sister in his mind. She’s a donkey!
When he entered the room and saw Nina, he was entranced by her as well, and his heart started to race.
Amelia Winters smiled and said, “Sean, you’re here. Have you made the arrangements for your work in Saspiuburg?”
“It has all been arranged. I can stay here for ten days or so.” Sean smiled in response and added, “Thank you for taking care of Mom in the past few days, Amy.”
“Well, I insisted on bringing her to Tayhaven for treatment. I am grateful enough that you guys don’t blame me for that,” she replied.
Amelia Hutton crossed her arms and grumbled, “Amy, so you do know that it’s inconvenient for us. The Hutton family has no connections in Tayhaven, much less a place to stay. But there’s nothing we can do since Mom only has you in her heart. All you have to do is say a word to her, and she would cast all of us aside. Even Sean has to delegate all the work to his subordinates to make time to care for Mom over here. Who knows how busy he will be once he goes back? One word from you, and everyone has to revolve around you. It’s all because you’re the eldest child.”
Oscar’s slight to her and Eleanor’s affection for her eldest daughter had inevitably triggered Amelia Hutton’s jealousy and hatred toward Amelia Winters.
This woman is born to be my nemesis.
Amelia Winters forced a smile and responded, “Amelia, I am truly sorry for my lack of consideration. I just think that the medical facilities here is quite good, and James has good medical skills—”
“Amy, are you implying that the medical facilities in Saspiuburg are inferior? Considering the Huttons’ status in Saspiuburg, I doubt it’ll be difficult for us to hire a skillful doctor for Mom,” Amelia Hutton interrupted. ”Amy, I know you’re a Clinton now, but don’t you think you are looking down on others with your words? The Huttons is not any less than the Clintons.”
“Amelia, this isn’t what I meant. All of us are worried about Mom’s illness. I know you are upset because of her but don’t twist my good intentions, will you?”
Just as Amelia Hutton wanted to retort again, Nina chimed in, “Amelia, who is she? Is her name Amelia too?”
Amelia Hutton’s attention was drawn toward her. At once, her eyes landed on Nina. When she noticed that the latter had a breathtaking appearance with an ethereal beauty, a tinge of jealousy arose in her heart.
Despite that, she put on a smile and asked, “Miss, may I know who you are?”
“I am a friend of Amelia. My name is Nina Yates.”
“Well, it seems that all my sister’s friends are fair and lovely. It’s truly my pleasure to meet you. My name is Amelia Hutton; I share the same first name as Amy. She went missing when she was young and has only reunited with us recently, so she has a different last name,” Amelia Hutton said gracefully.
Nina nodded and did not seem overly surprised by the information.
“Amelia, I shall make a move first. I haven’t gone home since yesterday, so my parents should be anxious.”
