Chapter 715Chapter 713
As soon as Tiffany entered the ward, she glared at Amelia Hutton, who stood in the corner, and
snorted. Derrick squeezed her fingers gently and whispered, “Tiff, calm down. There are many people
in the ward.”
After composing herself, Tiffany walked over to the bed. She said, “Mrs. Hutton, I'm here again. Are
you feeling better?”
Eleanor's face looked even paler than the day before. Apart from that, she had lost a lot of weight. The
oversized hospital gown hung loosely over her body, making it look like a playful child had stolen an
adult's clothing.
Seeing this, Tiffany felt a lump start to form in her throat. She couldn't believe the woman in front of her
who was once so dazzling had been reduced to such a sickly state after being tortured by the disease.
At that thought, Tiffany's heart couldn't help but ache.
Unaware of Tiffany's thoughts, Eleanor smiled warmly. “Thanks for your concern, Tiffany. I'm feeling
better. With Lia taking care of me, I'll be able to endure it even if it's a more serious illness.”
Tiffany put the fruit basket she bought on the table and said with a smile, “Amelia must be your
antidote, Mrs. Hutton.”
“Yes, she is. My whole body is filled with energy as long as she's here.” Eleanor smiled.
Amelia Winters poured two cups of tea for Tiffany and Derrick before she said, “Tiff, Derrick, when areyou two going back to Tayhaven?”
“Probably the day after tomorrow. Derrick and I will be visiting an elder in Saspiuburg in the afternoon.
Otherwise, we will come off as rude if we don't visit them even when we’re in Saspiuburg,” Tiffany
replied as she took a sip of tea.
Amelia Winters nodded.
Eleanor looked at Tiffany and asked weakly, “Tiffany, you and Derrick have been married for a few
months now. How is it? Is there good news?”
Tiffany was momentarily stumped. The next second, it dawned on her what Eleanor meant. So, she
shook her head. “We're still a newlywed. We want some time to ourselves first.”
Eleanor nodded understandingly but said earnestly, “There is nothing wrong with young people wanting
to enjoy their newlywed lives. But you two should still put pregnancy in your plan. Both of you are over
thirty years old. It's not easy for women to get pregnant once they are over thirty. You guys should hurry
up.”
Tiffany nodded and smiled. “I got it, Mrs. Hutton. Derrick and I will work harder.”
“Lia happened to be planning for another child too. Since you two are good friends, you should hurry it
up. Maybe both of you can get pregnant around the same time. That will be great.” With a smile,
Eleanor continued, “That way, I can help babysit your child too when I babysit Lia's child.
Amelia Winters and Tiffany remained indifferent after hearing what Eleanor said. Looking at the
situation, Amelia Hutton couldn't help but chime in, her voice turning sharp. “Mom, she doesn't have a plan for a child yet. Why are you being so nosy? That is ridiculous.”
Eleanor was taken aback by her remark. She looked at Amelia Hutton in puzzlement and said with a
slightly annoyed voice, “Amelia, what's wrong with you? Why are you behaving this way when I'm
talking to our guests? You're so rude.”
Amelia Hutton bit her lip and glanced at Oscar instinctively. However, she didn't expect Oscar to be
staring at Amelia Winters without a care for her.
The indignance she felt magnified instantly.
“Mom, I just wanted you to rest well without worrying about these things. It's not good for your health.
The doctor said you should focus on recuperating. Don't tire yourself out over these things. Why don't
you listen?” Amelia Hutton huffed.
Eleanor's expression softened, and she said, “Amelia, I know you meant well. But I'm talking to our
guests, so you should be more polite. Apologize to Tiffany now. Don't make a fuss and behave
yourself.”
Amelia Hutton's expression darkened, and she was about to blow her top when Benjamin entered the
ward. As such, she could only swallow the words on the tip of her tongue.
Benjamin walked straight to Eleanor's side and touched her forehead with his cheek. Sensing there
was no sign of fever, he said warmly, “Does your head still hurt? Do you want the doctor to check on
you again?” Eleanor dodged a little, but she was not as repulsed by his touch anymore.
“The children are here, so don't pretend to be all intimate with me. They'll get the wrong impression,”
Eleanor said awkwardly.
Benjamin was all smiles after he heard that.
Then, he sat down and said, “Let me tell you something. I've handed the company over to Sean. He
will have to stand on his own from now. Of course, I'll help him whenever he encounters problems that
he cannot solve. But, I will not interfere with the company's affairs anymore. I'll stay right by your side to
accompany you to your treatments. When you get better, we'll travel overseas. We can settle down
there too if you like the environment over there.”
Eleanor was stunned and looked at Benjamin with a conflicted look. She never thought that this man
who had been domineering for most of his life would let go of everything he had been adamant about
for her illness.
“Didn't you like managing the company?” Eleanor asked.
“I don't. I was only holding on to the company for all these years because I wanted you to have a better
life. And stop thinking of the daughter who went missing. It's a pity that I only now realized that I had
misplaced my focus. But it's not too late. At least this way, I have more time for you now.”
Eleanor fell silent.
Just then, a young lady entered the ward when the tension in the air started to disperse. She approached Benjamin with a paper in her hand and said, “Darling, I'm pregnant.”
Her words left everyone in shock. The young lady looked similar to Eleanor in terms of her aura and
appearance, especially her glistering eyes.
If Eleanor were a mature and ripe peach, the young lady would be a delicate and tender pear. The
latter seemed to be in her early twenties and at the peak of her prime.
“Why are you here?” Benjamin's expression darkened as he said solemnly, “Scram! I've already broken
up with you. Never show up here again.”
The girl seemed to be frightened. She then showed the report in her hand with teary eyes and said,
“I'm not feeling well, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor told me I had been pregnant
for three months. You have to take responsibility.”
Benjamin was furious, and the veins on his neck were visibly popping.
He had barely touched this girl before him. They slept together a few times when Eleanor got on his
nerves. Benjamin only took the girl as a place to vent his anger. Eleanor was the only woman in his
heart. Even if the girl looked similar to Eleanor, she was simply a defective duplicate that could never
be compared.
“Abort it and get lost,” Benjamin uttered coldly.
The girl looked as though she was going to burst into tears anytime soon. Eleanor remained unfazed at this commotion. Then, she said coldly, “Talk to her outside. Don't disturb
the serenity of the ward. And don't come here as you like. You'll dirty this place. I won't be able to fall
asleep then.”
Benjamin's expression grew icy-cold instantly. It was as though he was going to skin the girl alive.
“Eleanor, I'll head out for a while. I won't let you get sickened by this.” Benjamin softened his tone.
Then, he shot a death glare at the girl and said, “Come with me.”
The girl trembled slightly at that but still followed Benjamin out obediently.
“Mom, are you okay?” Amelia Winters was worried after she glanced at Eleanor, who looked visibly
exhausted.
Eleanor nodded with a smile. “I'm fine. It's just that your dad's at the age of nearing death but still
manages to do something so disgraceful. It's embarrassing, isn't it?”
“No. No matter what, he's still our elder and this is his affair. I'm sure he will resolve it. Mom, don't you
worry about it. I'm sure Dad won't let the unruly girl bother you again.”
Eleanor nodded while leaning against the bed listlessly.
Tiffany and the rest could see that Eleanor was exhausted, so everyone stood up and bid farewell.
Amelia Hutton stayed back at the ward to take care of Eleanor while Amelia Winters walked them out.
Tiffany took a glance at Oscar before she pulled Amelia aside. “Babe, you should watch out for that girl, Amelia. Your husband's a gem. Be careful and don't let her
snatch him away. It'll be useless to cry a river of tears when that happens.” Tiffany ranted through
gritted teeth.
Amelia was completely nonplussed.
“Did she mess with you?”
“What do you mean she messed with me? I'm telling you this for your own good. Your husband is an
outstanding person. He attracts not only butterflies but also a large group of roaring bees and flies.
Even if he doesn't have bad intentions, that doesn't mean that those women don't. They'll do everything
in their power to get his attention. If Mr. Clinton fell for their trap, everything will be too late, and you'll
regret it for life,” Tiffany said.
The smile on Amelia's face faded.
“Did she do something?”
“Do you think I'll remind you like this if she didn't? She hugged Oscar from behind in public and almost
begged to get laid. You'd better keep yourself on your toes. Or else, you'll really regret it.”
Amelia fell into deep thought and said, “All right. I'll watch out. But don't worry too much about it. If
Oscar got snatched away, that means he caved into his desires and isn't loyal enough. I will be able to
see his true colors then, wouldn't I?”
“Well, as long as you know what you're doing. Derrick and I are going to visit the elder in Saspiuburgnow. If you can, you and Oscar should head back with us the day after tomorrow.”
“We'll see.”
Oscar made his way over to Amelia after Tiffany and Derrick left. He asked, “What's with that solemn
expression? What did Tiffany tell you this time?”
“She said that Amelia seduced you in public.”
Oscar nodded in response and explained, “I threw her over my shoulder. I don't mind sending a few
men to have fun with her if she was any other woman. But she's your sister, and you two look very
much alike.” He couldn't bear to let Amelia Hutton suffer the torture since she looked like his wife.
Amelia wasn't happy after she heard that and said, “Oscar, since she and I look so similar, are you
going to fall in love with her one day, too?”
“There are so many people who look like you on earth. Does that mean I'll have to fall in love with
every one of them as well?”
Amelia was rendered speechless.
“You silly girl. Come on, let's go. Don't ask such a silly question again. It's enough for Tiffany to be silly
alone, don't let her silliness spread to you.”
Amelia Winters' lips curled into a smile, thus marking the end of this incident. Nonetheless, she was
now wary of Amelia Hutton as she didn't want any trouble to arise further down the road. Knowing
Amelia Hutton's intention was one thing, but her seducing Oscar was another matter. Amelia Wintersfelt she might lose her man if she wasn't alert enough.
Unwittingly, Amelia Winters felt a sense of crisis since her husband was such an outstanding man. It
would be difficult for any woman to resist his charm. Thus, she figured she had to be on guard.
