Chapter 707
Meanwhile, inside the ward, Eleanor had just awoken when Benjamin spoke with a gentle voice.
“Dearest, I have some good news. Lia has epted me.”
Every cell in Eleanor''s body jolted upon hearing the shocking news. Her eyes widened as she
energetically looked at Benjamin. “Lia, is what he said true?”
Amelia was initially shocked since she did not expect Benjamin''s attitude to change abruptly. However,
she wanted Eleanor to rest well and recover, so she shed a convincing smile. “It''s true, Mom. We''re
a family, after all. It''s only natural that I want to reunite with my family members. Or, are you not happy
with my decision?”
“Of course, I''m happy! Seeing you being acknowledged as a member of the Hutton family is my lifelong
wish. This is perfect! Now that it''s fulfilled, I''ll dly leave in peace if that''s my calling,” Eleanor
dered. She had been threatening to divorce Benjamin all this while, but deep down, she wholly
wished to have her family reunited; Eleanor loved her family but also hoped to see her long-lost
daughter return someday. It did not matter if her daughter had already married someone and bore
children, as all Eleanor wanted was for her daughter to know her birth family. That way, her daughter
would always have a family to turn to whenever life was too harsh.
Amelia''s lips curled with a tinge of happiness, her chest feeling much lighter than before.
Perhaps Amelia no longer felt crushed by an overbearing weight since Eleanor''s condition was
improving. Thetter''s hair fall had decreased, and her once paleplexion now took on some
ruddiness. Even her headaches had been happening less and less.
Those improvements gradually lightened the load on Amelia''s shoulders. Later, she and Oscar sent
their son, Anthony, to the airport before Hugo and Kurt apanied Anthony on the flight home.
At that moment, the little boy''s arms coiled around Amelia''s neck as he murmured, “Can''t I stay here,
Mommy? I promise I''ll behave. I can even help cheer Granny up!”
Amelia was equally sad about parting ways with Anthony. However, thetter was still a little boy and
could not apany her to the hospital daily—a ce where life and death urred regrly, so she
did not want Tony to witness such things at a young age.
“Be a good boy, Tony. Grandma has missed you loads, and you''vee to Saspiuburg with me for
quite a few days now. If you don''t return home now, Grandma might catch a flight here instead. That''s
not good because she''s older and gets headaches during flights. Then, she''ll even need injections to
stop the pain. You''re a good kid and would never put your grandma through such suffering, am I right?”
Amelia asked softly.
Anthony pursed his lips before finally caving in. “I know you don''t want me to see Granny suffering,
Mommy. Okay. I''ll be good and go home, but you need to hurry back too. Granny will get better.”
Attaboy. A smile graced Amelia''s face as she replied, “Okay. I promise I''ll be home soon. For now, I
want you to head back with your godpa and Hugo. I''ll tell you once Granny recovers.”
Despite Anthony''s reluctance to leave, he still obediently followed Kurt and Hugo up the ne.
Amelia waited until she saw Tony''s flight take off before retracting her gaze. She then said, “Let''s return
to the hospital, Oscar.”
“Do you miss him already?”
Amelia nodded. “Tony and I have never been apart for so long. I''m not sure if I''ll ever get used to his
absence...”
Amused, Oscar''s palm gently patted her head as he chuckled. “Silly girl.”
“Oscar, you seem to love patting my head a lot these days. Don''t tell me that you think of me as a pet
now?”
All that came from Oscar was a faint chuckle when he heard that.
The two soon arrived at the hospital, but Eleanor was still asleep. Now that she had a brain tumor, she
was often lethargic and dozed off. It got so severe that she slept during the day and suffered from
headaches at night, rendering her sleepless. That only worsened her exhaustion. Thus, she hired two
caretakers to look after her; one during the day and one at night.
Oscar held Amelia''s hand as they sat somewhere in the hospital corridor. He then took out some
takeaway food he had bought elsewhere. After opening the containers and neatly arranging the dishes,
he handed her a fork.
Amelia took a bite before handing some of the food to Oscar. The two took turns feeding each other as
though they were the only ones in the world. Sometimes, food got onto the corners of Amelia''s lips, and
Oscar would help to wipe it away. They would also asionally smile at each other.
Anyone could tell the two shared a vibrant spark. The lovey-dovey atmosphere emanating from Amelia
and Oscar made it seem like they were the only affectionate couple alive.
From afar, Amelia Hutton watched the couple with an envious scowl. Even her fists coiled tautly.
Amelia Hutton and Amelia Winters shared strikingly simr looks. However, thetter had already
married and had kids. Her husband, Oscar, was even Tayhaven''s top sessful entrepreneur, and his
family name was renowned for being fabulously rich; They were the top ten wealthiest families in the
world.
Amelia Winters had grown up in a regr family, yet she managed to secure a perfect husband and
could receive money from his family. All that felt unfair to Amelia Hutton, who viewed herself as
superior to Amelia Winters. However, everyone seemed to adore thetter more. Amelia Hutton was so
jealous that she felt thetter had stolen her family''s love from her.
Sean firmly gripped his sister, Amelia Hutton''s, shoulder, startling her. Following that, she whipped
around on her heel with a slight frown.
That was when Sean shook his head and said, “Amelia, sometimes it''s better not totch onto things
that don''t belong to you. Oscar isn''t someone you can afford to cross. Not to mention, he''s our brother-
inw. I suggest you quit harboring those inappropriate thoughts of yours.”
Amelia Hutton gritted her teeth while her frosty gaze remained on Amelia Winters. “Am I not good
enough? What part of me is inferior to her?”
At first, Amelia Hutton felt great about herselfpared to the blind Amelia Winters, who had a one-
and-a-half-year-old child. The former assumed Amelia Winters got abandoned by her husband. That
was why the former stole a strand of thetter''s hair for a DNA test; Amelia Hutton wanted to witness
things go wrong for Amelia Winters. After all, the former believed her father would never acknowledge
such a wed daughter. The former also wanted her mother to feel disappointed by Amelia Winters''
current state. However, everything did not turn out as Amelia Hutton nned; Rather, one could say
things had gone against her favor.
Now, Amelia Winters had be the daughter-inw of Clinton Corporations. Her vision also got
repaired in Anndur, not to mention that her husband was handsome, rich, loyal, and obedient. She
had gotten the life that every woman dreamed of.
Being the most adoreddy in the world like Amelia Winters was what Amelia Hutton envied. Thetter
felt as though the spotlight had been taken away from her. Not only that, but she felt robbed of her
mother''s love now that the former had appeared. It would be a lie to say she was okay with how things
were because she was, indeed, drowning in jealousy. Thus, Amelia Hutton wanted to take everything
Amelia Winters owned for herself.
Since she and Amelia Winters looked simr, she believed Oscar could fall for her too. Hence, she felt
utterly confident in winning Oscar''s love as long as she managed to get some alone time with him.
“Sean, tell me, do you think Oscar would fall in love with me since he fell for Amy?” Amelia Hutton
asked under her breath.
Those words made Sean''s features darken.
“Don''t do anything foolish, Amelia. Mom''s still unwell, so you shouldn''t create false narratives. It''ll only
piss her off.”
Despite that warning, Amelia still refused to ept the way things were. She retorted, “But Sean, it''s
because Mom''s sick that she probably wishes for us, her two children, to marry. Shouldn''t you be
supportive now that I finally have someone I like?”
All Sean felt right then was a raging headache toward his sister''s n.
Oscar isn''t someone easy to get along with, and anyone can tell he''s deeply in love with Amelia
Winters. Often, capable men like him would either indulge in hedonistic nights with countless women in
their arms or turn their backs on love. However, should thetter group finally fall for someone they
love, they will remain loyal forever.
“Amelia, please stop this nonsense. You—”
Before he could finish speaking, Amelia Winters noticed him and his sister from afar. She then called
out to them, “Sean. Amelia.”
Sean concealed the frustration in his gaze, shing the couple a gentlemanly look while whispering to
his sister, “Don''t do anything reckless, Amelia. Otherwise, don''t count on me to help out if you get
yourself into deep trouble.”
Amelia Hutton''s smile remained intact, but she whispered through gritted teeth, “I''m your only sister,
Sean. Things will only improve for you and our family if I secure a wealthy man as my husband.”
Sean merely nced at her before walking over to Amelia Winters.
“Are you guys hungry? Why don''t you join us?” Amelia Winters offered.
To that, Sean chuckled before politely declining, “It''s okay. You guys can continue with your meal. By
the way, has Tony gone home?”
“Our bodyguard has apanied him home. After all, his grandparents miss him, and he''s too young
to be in a hospital all the time. Such prolonged exposure can''t be good for him,” Amelia Winters
exined.
Sean nodded.
That was when Amelia Hutton leaned in as though getting a better whiff of the couple''s fragrant food.
She grinned while yfully asking, “Amy, Oscar, what are you guys eating? It smells so good!”
“Kebabs. I asked Oscar to buy some earlier when we passed by a marketce that sold them. Would
you like some? It''s pretty yummy,” Amelia Winters replied.
A look of disdain shed in Amelia Hutton''s gaze. Tsk. I''m someone of a superior social status! How
dare she assume I would eat such junk foods that ordinary people enjoy?
With that thought, she responded with a criticizing tone, “Amy, why are you and Oscar eating such
things? They''re junk foods and are super unhealthy.”
“It''s fine to have these snacks once in a while,” Amelia Winters said smilingly.

“But these junk foods aren''t worthy of a first-rate person like Oscar. You can''t just—”
“It''s delicious. You can keep quiet if you don''t want any,” Oscar was quick to interrupt, a tinge of
impatience appearing in his deep frown.
That was enough to shut Amelia Hutton up entirely.
Awkwardughter came from Sean, who tried to soothe the tension. “I''ll try some. These kebabs look
pretty good. I''ve never had them before, but snacks made by regr locals can sometimes be
delicious.”
Upon hearing that, Amelia Winters handed him a fork.
Soon, Sean joined the couple as they ate the kebabs together without a care in the world. All that
remained was Amelia Hutton, who seemed like an outsider.
Thetter watched the three with overwhelming awkwardness and anger broiling in her heart. Despite
that, she was powerless in swaying Oscar''s decisions.
She then huffed before curtly speaking. “I''m going inside to check up on Mom.”
Not a single response came from the three.
At that point, Amelia Hutton was fuming. She had always felt antagonized when she bumped into
Amelia Winters and Oscar. Thus, the mes of resentment grew within her. She was determined not to
lose to Amelia Winters in any aspect, as she would undoubtedly feel bitter for the rest of her life.
