Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 604 Mom Cares For You Too Much

“Mrs. Clinton.” When the five security guards saw Jolin running toward Amelia, they had their guards up and glared at her as though she was a ferocious beast.

“You’re here, Jolin.” Amelia glanced at Jolin, and then she updated the security guards politely, “Thank you everyone for your support today. This lady is here to pick me up. Everything is fine now. Please accept this little token of appreciation and go have a drink tonight.” As she spoke, she reached into her purse, whipped out about six hundred, and stuffed the notes in one of the men’s hands.

The guard wanted to return the money, but was rejected by Amelia. “It’s not easy to do what you guys do day in and day out. My older brother is still hospitalized. When I’m not around, please keep a lookout for my parents in case they need anything.”

With that said, the guard had no other choice besides accepting her kind gesture.

Then, Amelia, Tony, and Tiffany left with Jolin.

“Are you all right, Mrs. Clinton?” Jolin questioned.

“I’m fine. Jolin, what exactly happened when you said that someone was following me?”

“When Callum and gang were watching you in the dark, they noticed that there was a black car tailing you from behind. Initially, they wanted to attack the men in the black car discreetly, but their plan was busted by the other party. So, I instructed Callum to chase after them. I don’t have all the details yet as of now,” Jolin explained everything truthfully. “Mrs. Clinton, please rest assured that I won’t leave your side at all henceforth. As for Mr. Anthony, Boss has arranged for Hugo and Kurt to protect him. They are the crème de la crème in the entire organization. With them around, nothing bad will ever happen to Mr. Anthony.”

“Hugo and Kurt are allowed to resume their duties?” Amelia asked. She had not seen them in forever, and she was curious about their updates. Back then, the death of Jean got blown out of proportion. She vaguely heard a rumor that some members requested Oscar to punish both Kurt and Hugo severely. The members put all the blame on those two; had it not been for them, they would not have lost a colleague whom they had worked with for over a decade. However, Amelia did not follow the news thereafter.

“Yes. Boss has reprimanded them, and they have also served their punishment. No one voiced their objections anymore.”

Amelia did not bother pursuing the matter by asking more questions such as what the punishment was and if the two handled it well. She never crossed the line when it concerned Oscar’s work. After all, she did not want to be so nosy, to the extent that her actions would hurt her relationship with Oscar.

Thereafter, Jolin personally sent them all back to the neighborhood. As soon as the four of them got out of the elevator on their floor, Amelia saw a figure outside of her apartment, curling up like an abandoned little puppy. The person looked up when she heard the elevator doors closing. Amelia was shocked to the core when she realized who it was.

“Mrs. Hutton, why are you here?” she dashed over and asked. This couple seems to be toying me around. First, the husband wanted to have a chat with me. Now, his wife is here outside of my house, acting like a pitiful soul. What are they hiding up their sleeves?

There was a twinkle in Eleanor’s eyes when she saw Amelia appearing in front of her. She tried to get up as soon as possible, but the pins and needles due to prolonged hours of squatting down caused her to stumble forward. Luckily, Amelia got hold of her in the nick of time.

“Mrs. Hutton, are you okay?” She was concerned.

Eleanor shook her head and grabbed Amelia’s hands. Feeling aggrieved, she said, “Lia, I’m not going to force you anymore. I mean it. I just wanted to see you. Could you consider the fact that I’ve missed you for more than two decades and stop changing your phone number? I’m literally going crazy in Saspiuburg for missing you so dearly. When my husband was away, I seized the opportunity and sneaked out to see you without letting anyone know.”

When did I change my number? Anyhow, she seems to have lost a lot of weight. Those dark circles under her eyes accentuated her sunken cheeks which used to be fuller. Her frame, too, now seems to become smaller
