Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 246

Chapter 246 A Compromise

Owen called out to Oscar, and the two walked toward the stairwell.

Solemnly, the former cut to the chase by saying, “Oscar, was it you who hurt Stephanie?”

Oscar was exceptionally silent — it meant that his father’s assumption was right.

Though Owen appeared composed, his heart was aching. Both Oscar and Stephanie were his children, and he loved them equally. He felt distressed whenever anything untoward befell either one of them.

“Why?” Owen’s voice was hoarse.

He had always firmly believed that no matter how brutal Oscar was, he would never lay a finger on his sister who he grew up with. The two shared a special bond. As an elder brother, Oscar had always been doting her.

“Dad, Stephanie crossed the line this time,” Oscar said, giving his father a brief explanation.

Patting Oscar on the shoulder, Owen wanted to reprimand him. Yet, he could not bring himself to do it. At last, he said, “Oscar, please don’t be too cruel to your sister. Your mom and I have only one daughter. If anything bad happens to her, I’m afraid your mom won’t be able to take it.”

After pondering, Oscar uttered, “Had she known her place and behaved herself, I wouldn’t have given her a hard time.”

Indirectly, Oscar had conveyed his bottom line to his father.

The latter stared at his son and nodded in compromise.

“Head back in now. Otherwise, your mom will be worried,” Owen urged.

Oscar declined by saying, “You go ahead, Dad. I wish to smoke for a bit.”

“Come back in early, then. Don’t smoke too much; it’s bad for your health,” Owen cautioned.

Oscar acknowledged those words with a simple nod of his head.

As soon as Owen left, Oscar followed suit. However, he went the opposite direction and strode toward Robert’s office. The two had a chat and kept their conversations private.

Meanwhile, Amelia, who had volunteered to buy snacks, met with an accident. Right when she was about to cross the street, her vision blurred. Concurrently, a rampant electric car driven by a reckless driver knocked her down. The driver tried to steer the car away but could not stop in time. Anyhow, her injury was not particularly serious. Luckily, she only suffered from minor skin abrasion.

The driver rushed over immediately and assisted her while anxiously asking, “Ma’am, are you all right? Should I bring you to the hospital?”

The driver was a girl in her mid-twenties with beautiful features.

Shaking her head, Amelia waited for a bit to regain her vision. Then, she told the driver, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”

“Are you sure?”
