Chapter 182 At It Again
Olivia frowned. Cassie sure is a real pain in the neck… Our family will never have a day of peace if she and Oscar were to get married…
“Oscar, you’d better take care of your issue with Cassie as soon as possible. She’s way too scary to have around. Caring for her was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made.”
Olivia got a little angry when she saw no response from Oscar.
“What, are you still planning on being with her after everything she’s done?”
“Give me some time, Mom. Right now, all I care about is whether Amelia will make it out alive. Everything else can wait until she gets better,” Oscar said half-heartedly.
Olivia let out a sigh and kept quiet after that.
As the hours went by, the sky outside had gotten dark without them even realizing it. Tiffany checked the time on her phone and said, “Oh, gosh… It’s already seven… How about Gary and I go buy us all dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton? None of us has eaten anything since noon, and we can’t afford to collapse before Amelia wakes up.”
Olivia gave it some thought and nodded her head.
Tiffany then turned towards Gary and said, “Let’s go, Gary!”
“All right,” Gary said, and the two of them took the elevator downstairs.
After fastening his seatbelt, Gary glanced at Tiffany who looked really tired as she slumped against the passenger seat and asked, “Are you okay?”
Tiffany nodded, her eyes slightly red as she said, “I’m fine… I’m just worried about Amelia, that’s all… This is her third surgery in less than two days, and I’m really afraid that she won’t make it…”
Although Gary wasn’t that madly in love with Amelia, seeing her in the operating room like that felt really unpleasant for him as well.
“Don’t worry. Amelia’s a kind soul, so I’m sure she’ll be fine.”
“Yeah… Amelia is really kind and polite, especially towards her elders… But, you see, that got me thinking… What if the good die young?” Tiffany had a sad look in her eyes as she stared blankly at the people and cars outside the window.
“Like I said, I’m sure a kind soul like her will be fine. Don’t worry too much about it, okay?”
Tiffany buried her face in her hands and began sobbing all of a sudden, much to Gary’s dismay.
“Hey, don’t cry… I’m not good with words, so I don’t know how to comfort a crying person…”
Hearing him say that never failed to put a smile on Tiffany’s face.
“Jeez, Gary… Could you put a little more effort into it? I can’t even imagine how annoyed your girlfriends must’ve felt!”
“Every one of them said I was too dense and left me in the friendzone,” Gary replied in a serious tone which had Tiffany in tears from laughing.
“You know, Gary… I think you might have a talent for being a comedian!”
Gary shot her a look of confusion. “How so?”
“Don’t you think the stuff you say are really funny?”
“They are?”
Tiffany nodded profusely in response, and Gary let out a sigh of relief.
“I’m just glad I’m able to make you laugh. Guess being dense does have its perks, huh?”
“Thank you, Gary. You’ve only known Amelia for a short while, and yet you’re the only guy that has shown up after she got into that car accident. None of the other guys that claimed to love her have even bothered to check up on her,” she said sincerely after calming down a little.
“I think it has something to do with the Clintons hushing the media about this incident.”
Tiffany shook her head and shrugged. “Maybe, but still, it is a great honor for both Amelia and I to have a loyal friend like you.”
Gary waved at her. “That’s what friends do, so there’s no need to thank me.”
Tiffany forced a smile at him and went quiet after that.
They then bought some sandwiches and soup from a nearby diner before heading back to the hospital.
Tiffany and Gary heard a commotion the moment they stepped out of the elevator.
After exchanging glances, the two of them rushed towards the operating room and saw Charlie trying his best to hold Elizabeth still as she kicked and screamed. There were a couple of nurses around who tried to calm her down as well, but to no avail.
Charlie had a helpless expression on his face as she was simply too strong for him to hold down.
Tiffany didn’t really understand what was going on, but seeing Elizabeth causing a ruckus outside the operating room had her boiling with anger.
She ran forward and gave Elizabeth a hard shove while yelling in her face, “You just won’t leave Amelia alone even when she’s having a surgery in there, huh? Fine, you want to act like a b*tch? I’ll show you a b*tch!”
With that, Tiffany tackled Elizabeth to the floor, knocking Charlie a few steps back in the process.
By the time he was able to steady himself, Tiffany was already sitting on top of Elizabeth and slapping her left and right.
Charlie tried to pull Tiffany off her, but she pushed him back once again. “F*ck off, you!”
Eventually, Oscar intervened and dragged Tiffany aside. “Calm down, Tiffany! Amelia is still in there, remember? We can’t afford to cause her any more distress!”
If looks could kill, Elizabeth would’ve died a few times over from Tiffany’s bloodthirsty gaze.
After a brief struggle, Tiffany looked up at Oscar and said, “Hey, I’m calm now. Mind letting go of me?”
Oscar released his grip on her, and Tiffany flashed Olivia an awkward smile as she tidied up her hair. “Sorry I lost control earlier, Mrs. Clinton. I didn’t scare you, did I?”
She let out a sigh of relief when she saw Oliva shake her head. “That’s good to know… I really got carried away there…”
Olivia smiled back at her before turning towards Elizabeth and Charlie.
“Amelia is still undergoing surgery at the moment, so I suggest you bring your wife home for the time being. Getting into a fight here is just going to embarrass all of us.”
Charlie simply frowned at her in response, but Elizabeth wasn’t about to back down that easily. “This is karma! Amelia stole Oscar from our daughter, and now she’s gotten into a car accident! I bet she won’t survive this, let alone that baby inside her! Hahaha, this really is her karma all right!”
Olivia got mad upon hearing that, and Tiffany would’ve charged at Elizabeth had Oscar not stop her in time. “What the hell, Oscar? Are you just going to let that b*tch curse at your wife and child like that? Why are you still defending her?” Tiffany shouted angrily at him.
Oscar ignored her and shot Charlie a cold glare as he said, “Mr. Yard, I suggest you take Mrs. Yard away right now if you know what’s best for you. Our families may seem evenly matched in terms of wealth and power, but that doesn’t mean you’re safe if I were to come after you. I’m a man of my word, and you know it.”
Elizabeth spoke up before he could say anything, “Oh? Are you threatening me, Oscar?”
Oscar shrugged at her. “You can take it however you like, Mrs. Yard.”
“Come on, then! After what you did to my daughter, I’m going to come after you sooner or later anyway!” Elizabeth yelled angrily.
Tiffany was about to charge at her again, but Olivia grabbed her by the arm and stopped her in her tracks. “Your actions today are unbecoming for a parent and have destroyed whatever remaining relations we have between us. My daughter-in-law is undergoing surgery at the moment, and you are not welcome here. Please leave.”
“You think Amelia’s life is the only one that matters? My daughter ended up in an operating room after Oscar visited her! Who’s going to take responsibility for that, huh?” Elizabeth snarked at her.
Olivia frowned. “Oscar and I will visit you for a proper apology once Amelia has recovered. Now, would you mind respecting the patient here?”
Having been blinded by anger, Elizabeth spat the words at her, “Respect? I wish for Amelia to die!”
Her words were so vicious that it shocked everyone at the scene.
Tiffany ran forward and slapped Elizabeth twice across the face before returning to Olivia’s side. “There’ll be more of that for you if you don’t watch that filthy mouth of yours!”
Elizabeth turned towards Charlie and shouted angrily at him, “Charlie! How could you just stand by and watch your wife get beat up like this? At this point, I’m starting to question if marrying you was a mistake!”
“Haven’t you had enough? Are you trying to start an all-out war with them or what?” Charlie shouted at her in response.
