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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtof 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!”
“Miss, I know this must be quite unbelievable, so you should see for yourself on the tenth floor. I heard that her
husband exploded with anger when he heard about her miscarriage. His expression was terrifying enough to scare
a lot of people away.” There was a sense of lingering fear in the nurse’s voice.
Isabella quickly thanked the nurse before hurrying off to the elevator.
When she arrived on the tenth floor, she saw many people crowded at the ward entrance—Tiffany, Derrick, Sean,
Olivia, Owen, and Tony. However, the door was tightly shut. Despite how hard they tapped on the door in hopes to
enter the room, the person inside refused to let them in.
Isabella walked over and asked, “Aunt Olivia, why are all of you standing outside?”
Tiffany tilted her head to look at her, but surprisingly, she did make any mean remark.
“An accident happened. Why are you here, Isabella?” Olivia’s expression was not exactly pleasant either.
Suddenly, Tiffany fumed. “Get out of here, Isabella! Don’t come over here to gloat. Even if Amelia’s life is in danger,
Oscar would never fall in love with you.”
Derrick wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said gently, “Tiff, don’t get so worked up. Your body hasn’t
recovered yet, so it’s better not to get so emotional.”
Tiffany waved her hands in dismissal and replied, “It’s fine. It has been a few days since the surgery, so my wound
has long recovered. I’m just worried about Amelia. I’m scared she can’t accept the fact that she lost her child all of
a sudden.”
Her husband pursed his lips, not knowing how to comfort her.
Amelia had already suffered a blow from Eleanor’s sickness, not to mention the sudden loss of her own baby. These
two incidents combined would be enough to break her spirit, for no woman would find it easy to overcome
something like that.
Everyone was waiting outside the room worriedly when the door opened from inside, and James and two other
nurses walked out.
“James, how is Amelia? Is she all right?” Tiffany asked hurriedly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs for Olivia, her concern was not on her daughter-in-law. “James, is there really no way to save the child?”
It was obvious to tell who was closer to Amelia.
“Amelia is still a bit weak right now. As for the child, they can’t be saved at all. I’m sorry,” James answered with a
grim expression.
Sheer disappointment flashed across Olivia’s eyes. However, she soon accepted the miscarriage when she saw
Tony, whose lips were tightly pursed. At the very least, she still had a grandson, though she still wished to have
many more.
“James, can we go inside to visit Amelia?” Olivia asked.
At that moment, Tony spoke in an adult-like way. “Mr. James, I would like to go inside and look at Mommy too. I
promise I won’t cause a scene and disturb Mommy’s rest.”
James hesitated for a moment before replying, “Mrs. Clinton, Oscar said that he doesn’t want anyone to disturb
Amelia right now. However, he said I could let Tony inside so that he would not worry.”
Hearing that, Olivia had no choice but to put Tony down.
“Tony, behave yourself when you head inside. Do not be noisy and disturb your mommy, understand?” Olivia
instructed.
Tony nodded. “Understood, Grandma.”
Then, he followed James into the room.
“Oscar, I brought Tony here.”
Oscar gestured for Tony to come over and said to James, “James, you can go out first. Don’t let anyone else in. I
don’t want them to disturb Amelia’s rest.”
James nodded and exited the room.
Tony walked over and looked at the sleeping Amelia, whispering, “Big Meanie, is my younger sister or brother in
Mommy’s stomach really gone?”
Oscar caressed his head and replied, “Mommy has been too tired recently, so the baby in her stomach is gone.
However, they will soon return when Mommy recovers, so don’t worry.”
Tony replied with a stern expression, “Big Meanie, I’m worried that Mommy will feel upset when she learns that my
sibling is gone. She loves children, after all.”
Worry and sorrow flitted across Oscar’s eyes as he stared intently at the woman lying on the hospital bed. He felt
more upset than anyone else that their product of love was gone.
“Don’t worry. She has you and me by her side. As long as we support her constantly, she won’t feel too upset.”
Tony nodded. “Big Meanie, we have to stay by her side at all times.”
Oscar caressed his hair and praised, “Good boy!”
