Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 347 Regrets

“I’m really sorry, but that’s everything I know. All the records are here. There’s really no one with the name of Amelia Winters. What about you try other hospitals, or maybe give your friend a call?” the nurse suggested carefully.

Oscar almost lost his patience, but he quickly collected himself again without losing that gentle look on his face.

He was putting up his finest acting skills to appear agreeable to the nurse.

“Are you sure you’ve never heard of the name? Think harder. She’s important to me, so you have to tell me. I can give you whatever you desire—a car, a house, designer bags, or just anything at all—as long as you tell me anything you know about her. I promise you’ll get whatever you wish for.” Oscar made his pitch convincingly.

The nurse was lost in his mesmerizing aura. It was obvious that Oscar had her under his spell, but the director’s warning resounded in the nurse’s ears.

She recalled his words, forcing her greed back down her throat.

“I’m so sorry, mister. I really don’t remember anyone called Amelia Winters. You should just try other hospitals.”

Ring! At that moment, Oscar’s phone rang just as he was about to persuade the nurse again. He looked at the screen, and his face darkened. His gentlemanly manner vanished within a split second.

Oscar turned away to check on his phone, leaving the nurse behind. “Um, excuse me, are you still down for the cup of coffee you promised me?” the nurse asked weakly, looking at him walking away.

However, the man completely ignored her.

Simon, who was following behind Oscar, turned toward the nurse. “You know what, young lady? There’s always a price for everything. If you want to get the life you’ve always wanted, then you’ll have to be prepared to make sacrifices for it, but it’s not too late to change your mind now. Feel free to come by The Ritz-Carlton hotel and look for Simon if you’re having second thoughts. Remember, don’t let chances like this pass you by. You need to seize it when life is giving you a second chance.”

With that said, Simon and Oscar left the hospital. The nurse watched them leave in silence. Her gaze looked complicated.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Clinton? Have Hugo and the others found her yet?” Simon asked when they were outside.

Oscar shook his head in response.

Hugo and his men had also finished their search on the other wing of the hospital. Their quest was to no avail, too.

“We already looked everywhere, but there was no sign of her. I think she’s probably at another hospital,” Hugo speculated. “It’s true that the phone booth is close to this hospital, but there are also a lot of residential areas around. Perhaps she’s staying in one of the neighborhoods?”

“I don’t think so. My hunch tells me she’s been to this hospital. I can tell from the nurse’s response that was here. Hugo, I want you to wait for the nurse to finish her shift. Invite her over to The Ritz-Carlton after that. I’m sure she’ll give in once she knows how much we can offer her.”

“How about we ask her to come out now? Who knows where Mrs. Clinton will be by the time the nurse finishes work?” Hugo suggested, looking back at the hospital.
