Chapter 746 Miscarriage
“Don’t worry about it. Amelia is tougher than you think,” Derrick comforted. Tiffany nodded in response. However, they did not expect Eleanor’s condition to be worse than they thought. Her illness deteriorated in just a couple of days. Not only did she have a terrible headache, but she also lost tons of weight.
Amelia was beside herself with anxiety. Coincidentally, Clinton Corporations had been encountering countless trivial troubles recently. First, some of their partner companies insisted on terminating their contract despite needing to pay a huge sum for the liquidated damages.
Then, the brands under their company were sabotaged several times. Because of those issues, Oscar was on the go, decisively arranging for someone to catch the perpetrator. Kurt and his team worked on the clock and captured them in three days. Unexpectedly, the perpetrators were some homeless rogues who lived on the streets.
They were unsure who the mastermind behind the incident was as their boss was the one who sought them out and ordered them to set fire at a specific location at night. After the work was done, they could get fifty thousand each.
Hence, Kurt went to find the boss they were referring to, only to realize that the latter had packed everything up and escaped overseas with his family. Kurt grumbled through gritted teeth, “He escaped again.” When he returned to report the incident to Oscar, his superior asked emotionlessly, “He fled overseas?”
“That’s right,” Kurt answered. “Should we arrange someone to look for them there?”

“There’s no need for that. Contact the international police organization and tell them there’s a murderer on the run. You can let the local police work with them too,” Oscar replied.
“Understood, Boss.” Immediately, Kurt filed a report with the local police, ordering them to contact the international police organization about a fleeing murderer. It was undeniable how much authority Oscar held from how the police carried out his orders readily.
Kurt returned to the company after settling everything. “Boss, everything has been taken care of. If you don’t have any more orders, I’ll head back to protect Tony.”
“Go ahead.”
Kurt nodded and turned to leave.
After massaging his temples, Oscar gave Jolin a call.
“Boss.” Before he could ask anything, Jolin immediately started to report, “Things aren’t looking good for Mrs. Hutton. Her headache had gotten so bad this morning that she knocked her head against the wall. She had lost a lot of weight too. The doctor said that her condition seemed worse than other patients also diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Mrs. Clinton has been taking care of her all day and night. I’m worried that she’s going to collapse if this goes on.”
Furrowing his eyebrows, he grabbed his suit jacket from the chair and replied, “Take good care of Amelia. I’ll head there right now.”
“All right, Boss,” she answered.
After hanging up the call, Oscar strode out of the office. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Isabella, who was walking over with a stack of documents in her hands, at the doorway.
“Oscar, where are you going?” she asked.
“I’m going to the hospital. If you have anything to tell me, it’ll need to wait till I return,” he answered.
“I’ve brought you the report of our losses from these few days. Clinton Corporations is in troubled times now, so you can’t keep abandoning your duties to go to the hospital,” Isabella said anxiously as she followed close behind him.
“Isabella, you’re in no position to meddle in my affairs.” Oscar shot a grim look at her.
Despite his retort, Isabella bit her lip and entered the elevator with him.
“I know you’re worried about Amelia, but the company is in trouble now. You can’t keep running to the hospital. From what I see, the ones causing trouble to the company are taking advantage of how busy you are. Otherwise, they’ll never have the guts to sabotage Clinton Corporations. With that being said, you must stay and watch over the company. Without you, the company will be in shambles,” she advised worriedly.
“It’s just a couple of buffoons trying to stir up trouble. Just them alone aren’t enough to shake Clinton Corporations’ foundation,” Oscar replied confidently.
“But—”
“You have no right to meddle in my affairs. Get back to work. I’ll take a look at the report later.”
“Can I accompany you to the hospital?”
“I don’t think an outsider like you should be concerned about my mother-in-law’s illness.”
Reluctance flashed across her eyes, but she did not say anything else.
However, she still headed to the hospital once Oscar left the building.
As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she was lucky enough to overhear that Amelia had a miscarriage. She did not believe it at first, thinking she had misheard things, until she confirmed it with the two nurses who were engaging in gossip.
The nurse replied, “Are you Mrs. Clinton’s friend? She just had a miscarriage. It’s unfortunate as she had just been pregnant for a month. Perhaps she lost the baby because she overexerted herself from looking after the patient.”
Concealing the happiness in her eyes, Isabella acted like she did not believe her. “How could that be? She was as fit of a fiddle when I met her yesterday. You must be lying!”
