Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 838

Chapter 838 Alerted The Enemy

Tony was rushed into the operating room. Amelia and the others waited outside for several hours before the light outside the operating room was finally turned off. James took off his mask as he emerged from the room. Amelia rushed forward, grabbed James’ hand, and asked anxiously, “James, how is Tony?”

Feeling a little tired, James answered, “Tony was injected with a drug that could impact his intelligence. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. Otherwise, with the right dosage, his intelligence would’ve been stuck at two or three years old for the rest of his life.”

Amelia’s expression changed drastically, and her body swayed slightly as she asked, “Tony will become—”

James quickly assured, “Don’t worry. The good thing is that we discovered it in time. He’s fine. We have cleansed his stomach and intestines, but Tony will show signs such as chills and convulsions within five days.”

Amelia nodded. As long as he’s okay. Although it’s hard for me to accept the fact that he has to suffer from chills and convulsions, it’s better than him becoming mentally challenged.

Tony was wheeled into a VIP private ward, with Amelia and others following behind. As Amelia looked at Tony whose face was pale and he was hooked onto an IV drip, her eyes reddened as she was overwhelmed by mixed feelings.

“You’ve had a long day, Tiff, and I’m sure you’re tired. Go back and rest. You can come over to visit Tony tomorrow,” Amelia said.

Tiffany originally wanted to refuse, but Amelia added, “Tony has collapsed. Don’t make me worry about you as well.”

Hearing that, the former could only agree to go back to rest.

“All right. I’ll head back now. Don’t tire yourself too much. I’ll come back tomorrow,” Tiffany said.

Amelia nodded in response.

As soon as Tiffany left, Amelia walked to the bedside, half-squatting as she stroked Tony’s cheek, her eyes filled with distress.

“Go and rest on the couch, Oscar. I’ll talk to Tony for a while. He must be very scared after being abducted for so many hours and injected with a drug. I’ll stay here and accompany him so he won’t be afraid anymore,” Amelia said while staring at Tony.

Oscar walked over to Amelia, kneeled down beside her, and wrapped his arms around her before saying solemnly, “I’m sorry, Amelia. It was my over-confidence that put Tony in danger. You can scold and beat me if you want, but please don’t be so sullen.”

Amelia shook her head. She kept her eyes on the boy on the bed while responding softly, “I don’t blame you, Oscar. I just hate June and the others. We should have nothing to do with him in the first place, but he had to be so ruthless. I want nothing more than to have the police arrest him, but he’s a foreigner. Even if they arrested him, he would only be sent back to the police station in his home country. With the Adertons’ influence abroad, as long as they took the matter into their hands, we wouldn’t be able to do anything to June. I hate him so much. Seeing Tony in this state, I wish I could kill him with my own hands.”

Oscar scooped her up by the waist and placed her on the large couch. After covering her with a quilt, he said, “Rest well. I will do everything in my power to set an inescapable trap and catch June. I’ve never thought of handing him over to the police. Since he touched my son, I’ll be the one to take care of him.”

Amelia nodded.

Perhaps because she had been worrying and filled with fear all day, she quickly fell asleep the moment she was able to relax.

Oscar’s eyes darkened after he kissed her on the forehead.

Kurt and Hugo soon came to the hospital. Oscar sent several bodyguards to guard the ward before instructing the two to head to James’ office.

“Did you catch him?” Oscar asked with a stoic expression while radiating a powerful presence.

Kurt and Hugo exchanged glances before the latter replied, “I’m sorry, Boss. He escaped. Please punish us for our incompetence.”

“I’ll get him sooner or later. There’s no way he’ll give up so easily after all his efforts to open a company in Tayhaven. You guys keep an eye on his company. I want him to watch himself losing everything,” Oscar uttered menacingly.

After some thought, Kurt spoke up. “I’ll go and end his life, Boss. There’s no need to toy around with such a person.”

“Killing him will dirty our hands. Not only that, but it’ll also attract disgusting flies buzzing around us. Just go and monitor him. I already have something in mind,” Oscar replied resolutely.

Kurt initially had something else to say, but Hugo shot him a glance as if telling him to stop talking nonsense.

“Kurt and I will do it right away, Boss.” With that, Hugo pulled Kurt out of the office.

Kurt shook off his hand and walked in front of him in a sullen mood.

Hugo quickly caught up and uttered solemnly, “You’ve crossed the line, Kurt. Don’t forget that you and I have been personally trained by Boss. We only have to obey his instructions, not protest.”

Kurt looked at him. “Even if his decision is wrong, can’t I bring it up?” he remarked indignantly.

“Kurt,” Hugo called out in a stern voice.

Kurt took a deep breath. His chest rose and fell heavily, and the veins on his neck bulged.

Hugo let out a sigh before saying in a raspy voice, “I know you’re worried about Mrs. Clinton, Kurt, but don’t forget that we are her subordinates. Our boss has done his best for her and Mr. Anthony, and his feelings for her are no lesser than yours. Don’t think too highly of yourself. Our boss has undoubtedly decided to adopt a long-term plan to secure a greater victory by destroying June’s hard work. This is way more devastating to him than taking his life. Do you understand?”

Kurt clenched his fists tightly and walked back with his head down. The rollercoaster of emotions he was experiencing was what made him reveal his longing to kill June over adopting a long-term plan to secure a greater victory in destroying June’s hard work and making him lose everything. In his opinion, a day of letting June off would fuel the latter’s arrogance and give him enough time to grow stronger. Delays led to more complications.

The more Kurt thought about it, the more he felt indignant about letting the matter go that way, so he also came up with his own plan to finish June off no matter what. He did not care if he would later be punished by Oscar or even expelled from the organization. He would not allow Amelia and Tony to be in danger again.

He intended to use his own method to protect the woman he loved and her child.

Hugo was afraid that Kurt would do something drastic, so he quickly followed him. After leaving the hospital, Kurt opened the car door to get in, but Hugo grabbed his arm. “Don’t be rash, Kurt,” he advised.

Kurt stared at the other man intently and said patiently, “You know my temper, Hugo. Even if you can stop me this time, can you stop me forever? Either you tell our boss, or you let me leave. Your choice.”

In the end, Hugo had no choice but to let him go, but he also got into his car and followed Kurt.

Kurt caught June outside Yard Manor, but the latter was carrying a gun and had several foreign bodyguards with him. Both parties soon engaged in an intense battle.
