Chapter 742 Listen To Your Sister
Just as Oscar left the ward, he saw Amelia Hutton and her brother walking toward him. While he did give Sean a polite nod as a greeting, he paid no attention to the latter’s sister.
Amelia Hutton passed the purse in her hand to Sean, trotted toward Oscar, and said, “Oscar, we’ve just arrived in Tayhaven, and we aren’t familiar with the city. Could you bring me around?”
At long last, Oscar cast her a glance but looked away immediately. Afterward, he walked around her and arrived before Sean. “Control your sister,” Oscar said.
A tinge of embarrassment flitted across Sean’s eyes, and he replied apologetically, “Oscar, no, I mean, Mr. Clinton, please don’t mind her. She’s just joking with you.”
His sister returned to his side and said to him, “Sean, bring our luggage over to the ward first. I would like to talk with Oscar.”
Sean’s face turned red. It was apparent that he was angry. “Amelia, can you stop messing around?” he said in a low voice. Oscar had no interest in listening to their bicker, so he stated icily, “I still have something going on in the office, so I shall excuse myself.”
After saying that, he walked around them and left. Amelia Hutton wanted to follow him but was held back by Sean.
“Sean, what are you doing? Can’t you see that Oscar has already left?” she asked anxiously.
“Amelia, enough is enough.” The veins on Sean’s forehead were bulging from anger. ”Mom is still hospitalized, yet all you care about is romancing a man? Are you trying to enrage me?”
Amelia Hutton shook his hand off her wrist and glanced at the passing patients before retorting furiously, “What do you mean by that? I have finally fallen in love with someone. What’s wrong with pursuing love? I know Mom is still in the hospital, but she only wants to be taken care of by Amelia Winters. Since that’s the case, what’s wrong with me spending my time courting a man?”
At that moment, Sean was beside himself with fury.
“I think you are just stupid,” he growled. “You can dig your own grave as you please, but if you drag our family down, I’ll make you pay for it.”
“How am I stupid? Sean, I think you are being absurd!” she snapped and pushed him away before heading directly into the ward.
Clenching his fists tightly, Sean cursed his sister in his mind. She’s a donkey!
When he entered the room and saw Nina, he was entranced by her as well, and his heart started to race.
Amelia Winters smiled and said, “Sean, you’re here. Have you made the arrangements for your work in Saspiuburg?”
“It has all been arranged. I can stay here for ten days or so.” Sean smiled in response and added, “Thank you for taking care of Mom in the past few days, Amy.”
“Well, I insisted on bringing her to Tayhaven for treatment. I am grateful enough that you guys don’t blame me for that,” she replied.
Amelia Hutton crossed her arms and grumbled, “Amy, so you do know that it’s inconvenient for us. The Hutton family has no connections in Tayhaven, much less a place to stay. But there’s nothing we can do since Mom only has you in her heart. All you have to do is say a word to her, and she would cast all of us aside. Even Sean has to delegate all the work to his subordinates to make time to care for Mom over here. Who knows how busy he will be once he goes back? One word from you, and everyone has to revolve around you. It’s all because you’re the eldest child.”
Oscar’s slight to her and Eleanor’s affection for her eldest daughter had inevitably triggered Amelia Hutton’s jealousy and hatred toward Amelia Winters.
This woman is born to be my nemesis.
Amelia Winters forced a smile and responded, “Amelia, I am truly sorry for my lack of consideration. I just think that the medical facilities here is quite good, and James has good medical skills—”
“Amy, are you implying that the medical facilities in Saspiuburg are inferior? Considering the Huttons’ status in Saspiuburg, I doubt it’ll be difficult for us to hire a skillful doctor for Mom,” Amelia Hutton interrupted. ”Amy, I know you’re a Clinton now, but don’t you think you are looking down on others with your words? The Huttons is not any less than the Clintons.”
“Amelia, this isn’t what I meant. All of us are worried about Mom’s illness. I know you are upset because of her but don’t twist my good intentions, will you?”
Just as Amelia Hutton wanted to retort again, Nina chimed in, “Amelia, who is she? Is her name Amelia too?”
Amelia Hutton’s attention was drawn toward her. At once, her eyes landed on Nina. When she noticed that the latter had a breathtaking appearance with an ethereal beauty, a tinge of jealousy arose in her heart.
Despite that, she put on a smile and asked, “Miss, may I know who you are?”
“I am a friend of Amelia. My name is Nina Yates.”
“Well, it seems that all my sister’s friends are fair and lovely. It’s truly my pleasure to meet you. My name is Amelia Hutton; I share the same first name as Amy. She went missing when she was young and has only reunited with us recently, so she has a different last name,” Amelia Hutton said gracefully.
Nina nodded and did not seem overly surprised by the information.
“Amelia, I shall make a move first. I haven’t gone home since yesterday, so my parents should be anxious.”
“I’ll send you off. Thank you for taking care of my mother yesterday,” Amelia Winters replied.
“Don’t mention it; I’m glad to be of help.”
With that, Amelia Winters saw her out.
Outside the hospital, Nina said to her gently, “Amelia, you should go back upstairs. I will head home now.”
Amelia Winters nodded and replied, “Drive safe. Give me a call when you’re home.”
“Sure,” Nina promised.
It was after she got in the car did Amelia Winters go back upstairs.
When Amelia Winters entered the ward, Sean came up to her and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Amy, the young lady just now, who is she?”
Casting him an odd look, she asked, “Are you interested in her?”
“Not really. It’s just I’ve never met anyone as beautiful as her, so I am curious to know if she’s seeing someone. I just so happen to be single as well, and it’s about time for me to get married,” Sean admitted frankly.
“Sean, I never knew that you cared more about women’s physical appearances.”
“That’s not true. As long as she’s someone I like, I’d think she’s gorgeous.”
Amelia Winters nodded, not intending to expose him.
“She’s the only daughter of the chairman of Yates Group. Her ancestors started out as smugglers, and it was only until her grandfather’s generation that they switched to other businesses and slowly developed. Yates Group gradually grew to its current scale. The company has a few thousand employees, making it a large enterprise. They have quite a few cosmetic brands registered under their name. If you marry Nina, everything in the Yates family will become yours.” The last part of her sentence was obviously a joke.
Amelia Hutton crossed her arms and remarked pointedly, “Are you insinuating that my brother is someone who lives off a woman to rise through the ranks?”
Amelia Winters glanced at her and remained silent.
“Amy, I was merely making a random question. I didn’t expect you would really think that my brother relies on women to gain power. Our family possesses a significant status in the upper-class circle. What do you mean by saying those insulting remarks?”
Once again, Amelia Winters said nothing in response.
Sean reproved Amelia Hutton in a low voice, “Amelia, cut it out. Can’t you tell that Amy is just pulling my leg?”
“I couldn’t tell if she was just joking.”
“That’s enough, Amelia! When will you stop?” A slightly tired voice rang out, startling the three of them.
The siblings looked over and realized their mother had awoken.
In an instant, Amelia Hutton reverted to her gentle and well-behaved self.
“Mom, did I wake you up?” she asked smilingly.
Eleanor massaged her temples, which had been aching slightly since she woke up.
Amelia Hutton was quick to pick up the signs. The young woman quickly helped her mother massage her head and asked, “Mom, are you feeling better?”
Eleanor replied, “Do it harder.”
With that, Amelia Hutton exerted more strength dutifully.
While enjoying the massage, Eleanor said, “Amelia, your sister has to look after her family and me. Things are hard enough for her. Don’t talk back to her every other day. I am sick right now. Other than chit-chatting with me occasionally, you leave everything else to the caretaker. Stop saying that I favor your sister over you. She is such a sensible child that it pains me. If you are half as sensible as she is, I wouldn’t have anything to say about you.”
Amelia Hutton’s hands that were massaging Eleanor’s temples froze. “Yes, Mom, you are right,” she said after forcing a chuckle.
“It’d be great if you would listen to me. I don’t know how long I can live with this sickness. Regardless of whether I can survive past this or not, I truly hope that you can listen to your sister. She’s had it hard by herself. Do you hear me?”
Amelia Hutton gritted her teeth and said, “Mom, I have always been quite close to Amy. You can ask her if you don’t believe my words.”
All Eleanor did in response was smile. She was not blind and thus could tell if the sisters were getting along or not.
