Chapter 731 Eleanor Transfers To Tayhaven

 

Since Amelia failed to reach an agreement with Benjamin, she could only try negotiating with Eleanor instead.

“Mom, something cropped up in the company, but I also need to look after Tony, so I cannot stay long in Saspiuburg. Considering your health right now, I was thinking of transferring you to the hospital in Tayhaven. What do you think of my proposal?” suggested Amelia.

She knew the Huttons had a strong foundation in Saspiuburg, so Eleanor would be receiving naught but the best treatment there. Yet, Amelia had merely been away for a few days, only to be greeted by the worsening of her mother’s condition upon her return. She became reluctant to let her mother continue staying in the current hospital. Besides, it was as clear as day that her mother had grown increasingly dependent on her. Because of that, she had to muster up the courage to seek Benjamin’s view on transferring Eleanor to Tayhaven. Alas, Benjamin had completely turned Amelia down.

Eleanor gave it a thought and raised an inquiry. “If I were to head to Tayhaven, wouldn’t I be disturbing you?”

“Of course, not!”

Her daughter’s words brought a bright smile to Eleanor’s face. “All right, then. I’ll go with you. Being in my sixties, I’ve learned to let go of a lot of things. Worse comes to worst, I’d choose to be at home if my treatment didn’t go well. I’d rather die in my own home.”

“I don’t want to hear you saying such things, Mom.”

“Fine, fine. I’ll stop.”

What Eleanor had told Benjamin after that remained a mystery. The next day, Benjamin magically concurred with the idea of relocating Eleanor to the private hospital where James was working at.

Benjamin instructed someone to send Eleanor, Oscar, and Amelia Winters there on a private plane first, for he still had to sort something out before heading there.

Looking at the plane departing, Amelia Hutton fumed, “Dad, Mom’s being reckless, don’t you think? Why would you do her bidding?”

“She’s already in this state. What more do you expect me to do?” came Benjamin’s croaky voice. “Your mom’s not young anymore. She’s seen enough vicissitudes of life. You’ve also witnessed with your own eyes how she heeded your namesake’s advice. Given how she’s been tending your mom, I actually think it might help to improve her condition.”

Amelia Hutton gnashed her teeth, snarling, “Dad, you’ve over-indulged Mom.”

“Things would never have turned out this way if you haven’t been spouting nonsense in front of your mom. I haven’t even settled the score with you!” Benjamin glared daggers at his daughter.
