Chapter 842 Stalking
Before Tony left the hospital, Amelia and Oscar went to visit Stephanie. This time, Stephanie had undergone a C-section. Despite that, her condition was rather bad; it was as if the procedure had almost killed her.
Olivia fed her water before asking in concern, “Amelia, how is Tony? Stephanie has been feeling ill recently, so I couldn’t find the time to visit Tony. I miss him a lot.”
Amelia said, “Mom, Tony’s mostly recovered by now. Even the doctor said that he can leave the hospital in a bit. I’ve come to visit Stephanie, but it seems like you’re taking great care of her, so I’m relieved. I’ll take Tony home first. Once Tony isn’t as traumatized anymore, Oscar and I will go to the Walker residence to pay her a visit.”
However, Olivia waved her hand and said, “There’s no need for such trouble. You just need to take care of my darling grandson; you don’t need to take care of Stephanie. since her mother-in-law and I are taking care of her. Moreover, we have good nurses here too. Hurry and bring Tony home. If Tony asks about me, tell him that it’s not because I don’t love him anymore, but because his aunt needs someone to take care of her. You can’t let him think that I don’t love him anymore.”
Amelia nodded. “Got it, Mom.”
After a while more of conversing, Amelia and Oscar came back out. It was then they bumped into Isabella, who seemed to be everywhere. Amelia could not help but wonder if the encounter was genuinely a coincidence or if Isabella had planned it out.
With a smile, Isabella walked over and uttered, “Oscar, I heard from the doctor that Tony’s about to leave the hospital. Is that true?”
Oscar glanced at her and replied, “He’ll be out in a moment.”
Isabella nodded. “Stay safe on the road. I’ll come and visit Tony another day. You’ll welcome me, right?”
Oscar frowned, but there was a voice in his head that urged him to agree to it, and so he did.
He nodded and answered, “Yes.”
The smile on Isabella’s face turned sweeter. She then intentionally turned to Amelia before she said, “Thank you, Oscar. I’ll go in to visit Stephanie first, so goodbye.”
Oscar moved aside to let Isabella through. Right as Isabella reached the doorway, she suddenly turned around and took out an amulet from her bag. “Oscar, this is an amulet I’ve gotten from a shrine. Please take it.”
Oscar met Isabella’s expectant gaze, then he turned to glance at Amelia, who had a complicated look on her face. A cold glint flashed past his eyes. He said, “Isabella, I hate women who go over the line to please others. There’s a limit to how shameless you can be, so stop making me hate you even more.”
Hearing that, Isabella froze. At the same time, she stared at Oscar in disbelief, for she could see the contempt he had for her in his eyes.
Bernard had told her that his hypnosis was very effective. Even though they had not reached their goal yet, one or two more times of hypnosis would change Oscar’s memories. By then, he would think Isabella was his lover and Amelia his arch-nemesis.
However, Isabella had seen his abhorrence for her in Oscar’s eyes. She could not help but wonder if something had gone wrong or if Bernard’s hypnosis was not as effective as he said it was.
Isabella panicked. She had been trying so hard all this time, and she would never accept an outcome like this.
Hence, she played the fool and asked, “Oscar, what do you mean?”
