Chapter 561 No Chance To Breathe

A chuckle fell from Amelia’s lips. “Why? You never expected me to say something like this?”

Jolin nodded as confusion filled her gaze.

“Kurt has helped me a lot over the years, and I’m truly grateful to him from the bottom of my heart. I even think of him as my family. However, my husband and son are two of the most important people in my life. You may think that I’m selfish, but I’m aware of who I should prioritize. So, I won’t overly interfere with Oscar’s job. If Kurt really turns out to be a deserter, I won’t help him beg for mercy. Anyone who makes a mistake should pay the price,” Amelia said calmly.

While Jolin was still puzzled, her opinion of Amelia changed again. “Mrs. Clinton, you’re very different from when I first met you,” she said honestly.

“I’m still the same. It’s just that I’m not as kind as I appear to be,” Amelia replied without much emotion in her voice despite the noticeable gloom in her frown.

She could not wrap her mind around the situation. Kurt’s condition in the operating room was unknown, and she was puzzled as to why he returned from Anglandur with wounds. So many things happened that were beyond her expectations happened in less than two weeks.

Although she answered Jolin’s question as if she did not care much about Kurt earlier, she was worried about him and the punishment he would have to bear after he woke up.

She was only lying to everyone when she said she could face it calmly. After everything that Kurt had done for her in Beshya, there was no way she could forget his kindness toward her so easily.

When Kurt was still in the operating room, Oscar arrived at the hospital after learning about the matter.

 

“Boss,” Jolin greeted but did not receive a reply as his gaze was on Amelia entirely.

For some reason, Amelia felt a little guilty when he was looking at her like that.

 

It was as though she was a wife who was caught cheating by her husband and was afraid that he would misunderstand something.

She dismissed the thought from her mind, although she was still confused about why she would think of that.

Running her fingers through her hair, she said, “Oscar, you’re here! Kurt’s injured, so I couldn’t just leave him in the lurch. Please don’t misunderstand.”

Oscar ruffled her hair and said, “Silly! I won’t blame you no matter what you do. I’m not here to scold you.”

Amelia tugged her lips into a smile and finally perked up.

“It’s almost six o’clock. Have you taken your dinner yet?” he asked as he wrapped his arm around her waist and led her to a bench nearby.

Amelia shook her head. “He’s been inside for a few hours now, so I don’t have the mood to eat anything. Where’s Tony?”

“I asked Hugo to pick up Tony, and he’ll bring him here straight away,” Oscar replied.

With that, she nodded.
