Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 322 A Wasted Trip To Beshya

Just like that, Oscar fell asleep in front of his computer with Amelia’s picture clutched tightly in his grip. On the next day, Oscar’s entire body was throbbing with pain. Although he tried to relieve the soreness by stretching, his arms still felt numb.

When Oscar made his way out of the study, he bumped into Olivia. Although Oscar’s demeanor took a sudden turn, he still greeted her politely, “Mom.” Due to Olivia’s recent involvement, Oscar hardly knew how to face her.

On the other hand, Olivia sized him up. It was clear that Oscar had lost a lot of weight. Furthermore, his sunken eyes and unkempt stubble gave him a very disheveled appearance. Oscar was a far cry from the confident man he once was. Olivia couldn’t help but feel anguished on his behalf.

“Did you spend the night in your study?” Olivia asked in a gentle tone.

Olivia’s tender mannerisms caught Oscar by surprise. Feeling taken aback by the tone of her voice, he asked her warily, “Mom, what are you up to?”

Olivia merely chuckled in amusement. “Don’t you recognize your own mother? Don’t look at me like that. Are you afraid that I’ve been eaten by a monster and replaced with a clone?”

Despite Olivia’s light-hearted joke, Oscar was as sullen as ever. He remained rooted to the spot.

“I know that you’ve been annoyed because I constantly used my health as an excuse. However, your dad has talked some sense to me. I don’t want to continue our argument all because I miss my grandson. Sooner or later, Tony will return. All I have to do is wait patiently for his arrival and mend our broken relationship. What if I end up all alone after my daughter marries because I ruined the relationship I have with my son?” Olivia remarked with a smile.

Oscar’s mood seemed to lighten when he heard this. Quietly he tried to discern if Olivia was telling the truth.

“I lost my temper because I missed my son.” Olivia patted him on the shoulder to reassure his worries. “Do you see me as a heartless monster? Relax, I won’t cause you any more trouble. I’ve instructed one of the staff to cook you breakfast. You should eat more, all right? You’ve lost so much weight that you look like a bag of bones. Just looking at you makes me worried.”

Finally, Oscar’s tensed expression eased up.

“Okay.” He nodded in reply.

Because Olivia had cleared the air with Oscar, breakfast ended on a high note. As soon as Oscar finished his meal, he went to work. Along the way, he called Hugo and questioned him about Amelia’s whereabouts. Yet, Hugo could not give Oscar a definite answer.

After Oscar ended the call, he diverted his focus back to the road. Moments later, another call came in. It was Julian.

“Julian,” Oscar greeted as he answered the call.

“Oscar, I asked my friends to dig around. Earlier, one of my connections notified me. It seems like he saw a woman who looked like Amelia in Beshya. He followed the woman and her son into a neighborhood and discovered that they have taken up residence in unit 1010. He also asked the guards there about them. The guards claimed that the woman moved here two months ago. Furthermore, the woman’s friend matches Tiffany’s appearance. It all seems too suspicious to be a coincidence. Do you want to see it for yourself?”

When he heard this news, Oscar was so shocked that his grip on the steering wheel slipped. As a result, he nearly lost control of his car. In haste, he regained control of his vehicle. “Julian, which neighborhood is it?” Oscar rasped nervously. Even his fingers were trembling uncontrollably.
