Chapter 727 Safe And Sound
In the afternoon, Oscar took Tony to the headquarters of the organization. Even though Tony was only less than three years old, he had Oscar’s demeanor as he walked quietly by Oscar’s side with a stern face. After all, the two of them looked alike.
The people in the organization were inevitably a little shocked when they saw Oscar with a child. Even though they were shocked, they still greeted Oscar respectfully, ”Boss.” Then, they asked, “Why did you bring Mr. Anthony here?”
“Is everyone here?” Oscar answered with a question. “Boss, everyone has arrived except for a few people who are performing tasks abroad,” said one of them. “Tell them to go to the conference room. I have something to say.”
“Yes, Boss.” After a while, the conference room was filled with the core figures of the organization. Oscar was sitting in the main seat and Tony was sitting in the small chair especially arranged for him.
Everyone was staring at Tony, and there was a trace of curiosity in their eyes.
Oscar cleared his throat and said, “Now that everyone’s here, let me introduce all of you that this is my son, Anthony. I believe you have all seen him before. Kurt and Hugo are specially assigned to protect him.”
Once he finished speaking, everyone else stood up one after another and greeted respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Anthony.” Tony looked at them without being afraid. He replied, “Hello, everybody.”
The people who were stern-faced laughed out loud. A woman with heavy makeup said, “You are so cute. You are basically a combination of Mrs. Clinton and Boss. When you grow up, you will surely be better than your parents.”
Tony’s expression was grim. He replied with his baby voice, “Thank you. You are very beautiful.”
After the exchange, Oscar clapped his hands and said, “Everyone, the reason I called you here today is I want you all to do your best to find the whereabouts of my wife, and to tell you all that Tony will be one of us in the future. I will train him and in the future, you must obey his orders too apart from me.”
Everyone was not shocked at all. Instead, they replied, “Yes, Boss. We will use our lives to protect Mr. Anthony.” Oscar nodded. When he was about to say something, someone hurried in without even knocking on the door.
“Boss, the informant we placed at the airport called and said that the search and rescue team had located the plane’s location. They said that it flew to an unknown island not far from the Ibican Ocean. No one was injured or dead but they were seriously short of food. Several people have fainted because of starvation. We don’t know who those people were for the time being,” the person who came in reported everything that happened.
Oscar immediately stood up from the chair. Because of his excitement, the chair was hit and turned several times before it stopped.
He asked agitatedly, “Has the news been confirmed?”
“Yes, Boss. The news is absolutely true,” the man replied.
Oscar carried Tony up and kissed his face several times as he got emotional. Then, he said to him, “Tony, we found your mommy. And now, we’re going to bring her back.”
Tony finally smiled. He kissed Oscar several times on the face for the first time ever before saying, “Okay. Let’s go bring mommy back together.”
The others watched the interaction between the father and son, and started smiling. Poof, now that Ms. Amelia is found, we don’t have to face Mr. Clinton’s Oscar’s petrifying presence for a while at least.
Not everyone could put up with Oscar’s invisible petrifying chilliness.
Finally, we’re free.
Oscar carried Tony and asked someone to prepare a private jet. After that, they were brought to that unknown island.
Sitting on the plane, every second felt like torture for Oscar. He was afraid that Amelia would be hungry and grow thin without food to eat in the past few days, and he was afraid of injuries that she might have suffered. For ten hours, Oscar thought of countless possibilities, but he calmed down the moment he reached the island.
Seeing the medical staff coming and going on the island, Oscar walked over quickly with Tony in his arms, searching for Amelia’s figure everywhere, but he couldn’t find her.
He grabbed a medical staff passing by and asked, “Have you seen my wife? She is tall, thin, and very beautiful.”
Initially, the medical staff wanted to scold him but kept it in after seeing that he was a handsome guy. He replied gently, “Mister, some people who fainted on the plane have been bandaged and sent to the hospital. As for the others, they were arranged to rest in the tents because it’s too late now. If you are in a hurry, you can go look for her there.”
“Thank you!” After Oscar finished speaking, he carried Tony and ran quickly in the other direction, and the bodyguards with him followed quickly as well.
Oscar found Amelia in a place with few people. Looking at Amelia who was talking to Jolin not far away, he felt the joy of regaining something precious that he thought he had lost. Oscar couldn’t help but almost cry. He thought he was going to lose her, but he didn’t expect to meet her again after a turn of events. That was simply God’s favor for him.
Oscar just stared at Amelia’s back, but Tony had slipped off from his arms and ran toward Amelia. He shouted excitedly, “Mommy, mommy…”
Amelia, who was talking to Jolin at first, was stunned for a moment. Then, she turned her head and saw a little fella running toward her. Not far away, there was also an adult staring at her. Amelia’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red. Oh god, they are here to see me.
“Tony.” Amelia hugged Tony excitedly, feeling the soft body buried in her arms. Her heart almost softened into a bay of water.
Oscar also came over and wrapped his wife and son in his arms. He said in a muffled voice, “Amelia, thank God that you’re okay.”
Amelia turned her head and kissed him on the lips. “I thought that I was going to die, and I didn’t expect that I can see you and Tony again. I’m so happy. If it wasn’t for Jolin, I’m afraid I’m going to starve to death,” Amelia said with a smile.
Oscar furrowed his brows and said sternly, “Don’t say the word ‘die’. You are mine and no one can take you away from me, not even Hades.”
Amelia knew that Oscar was frightened. So, she said softly, “I’m sorry for frightening you.”
Oscar kissed her on the lips. He wanted to give her a wet kiss, but fortunately, Amelia remember that Tony was still in her arms. Knowing that children should not see something a little inappropriate, she raised her hand to cover Oscar’s mouth. “Not now, Oscar. Tony’s here.”
Oscar let go of Amelia. Then, he raised his hand and patted Tony’s head. “Tony is already a little man. He knows that this is what people who love each other will do. Right, Tony?”
Tony rolled his eyes and said arrogantly, “Big Meanie, Mommy is back, so I will not argue with you. But you are not allowed to bully Mommy in front of me in the future, or I will be the first to challenge you when I learn martial arts from you.”
“I look forward to it.” Oscar smiled.
Amelia, on the other hand, raised her eyebrows and asked, “Oscar, are you planning to train Tony?”
“He is almost three years old, so it’s time to train him. After all, he will take care of the Clinton family’s property in the future. I don’t want to raise a playboy who only knows how to have fun and enjoy life,” replied Oscar.
Amelia nodded and didn’t say much. After all, if a boy was trained since childhood, he would be resistant to beatings and pressures. He would also be better than those who had been spoiled since childhood and became spoiled brats who knew nothing besides wasting their lives.
“Let’s go back now. I had someone prepare a lot of food on the plane and stored it in the refrigerator. All we have to do is just warm it up and you can eat them,” Oscar said in a low voice.
Amelia swallowed her saliva, and her stomach rang in response. It had been two or three days since the plane disappeared. There was almost nothing on the deserted island except wild animals and fruits, and the people on the plane were all white-collar workers who worked in the office. Those who worked in front of a computer all day wouldn’t know how to hunt, let alone climb trees. Fortunately, Jolin was by her side, and she knew how to hunt for food and pick fruits. Despite that, there were too many people, so they could only eat enough to survive.
Amelia went with Oscar to his private jet. Oscar gave her a meal that had already been heated, and said, “Eat more. You’ve lost weight.” After that, he also gave Jolin some food and said softly, “Jolin, thank you for taking care of Amelia for me. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what she would be like now. You have saved her, so you are my savior.”
Jolin was overwhelmed and hurriedly stood up from the chair. She was at a loss and said, “Don’t say that, Boss. It’s my duty to protect her. As long as I’m alive, Ms. Amelia will be alive unless I’m dead.”
Oscar beckoned to her and said with a smile, “Don’t be so serious. It’s true that you have saved Amelia, so you can be regarded as my savior. When we go back, I will give you a raise and you’ll be my son’s godmother.”
Jolin was even more surprised. It was an honor for her to be Tony’s godmother as she was just a bodyguard.
“Thank you, Boss. I will definitely do my job well.” Jolin was panicking and spoke incoherently.
Amelia couldn’t help laughing and said, “Sit down and eat, Jolin. Oscar’s not a beast. You don’t need to be so afraid of him.”
Jolin took a bite of the meat and said solemnly, “Ms. Amelia, Boss is not a beast, but he is a god-like figure who lives in a completely different world in my heart I have never expected that I can be the godmother of Mr. Anthony like Kurt. This is a kind of trust that Boss has in me. For that, I have no more regrets even if I die.”
Amelia was at a loss for words.
After the meal, Oscar asked about what happened when the plane went missing, and Amelia explained it briefly.
That night, the plane encountered turbulence when it was halfway through the journey. The plane started losing height out of control, and everyone on the plane was in a panic. The words on the radio calmed everyone down, saying that the air pocket would pass soon. Unexpectedly, the plane lost contact with the outside world and flew directly to a deserted island. Then, the plane crossed a forest and stopped in a large open space. After all the people got off the plane, they realized that the tail of the plane had been broken, and the fuel tank had leaked. In short, it was damaged and could no longer fly.
They picked up their phones to make calls, but there was no signal. They were all tired and shocked to see that because they had thrown away everything that could be disposed of in order to prevent the plane from being overweight. The food, drinks, and fruits stored on the plane were almost depleted.
That was how they landed in the predicament in the past few days when they lost contact. In fact, the food storage on the plane would have been enough to last for a while if they could keep it.
Even though Amelia said it casually, Oscar felt very distressed. He said, “When we go back, you have to eat double or triple every day to make up for the weight you have lost.”
Amelia wasn’t sure if she should laugh or cry at that. She glanced at Oscar and said, “Are you planning to turn me into a pig? Also, since when did I lose weight? Although I didn’t have any good food for the past few days, Jolin is very capable and she had prepared dishes made from a lot of different animals for me. She would also serve the dishes to me immediately whenever she had done preparing them. That made me feel like I was getting fat.”
Oscar hugged her in his arms. “There’s no harm in showing your weakness once in a while. Do you know that when I heard the news that your plane was missing, my heart almost jumped out of my body? I’m very afraid of losing you again.”
Amelia leaned in his arms obediently. She knew that Oscar was really frightened.
The two snuggled together quietly, while Tony, who was asleep, was carried to the other side by Jolin.
After a long while, Amelia asked, “How’s my mother?”
“I don’t know. Your accident happened because of them. The Hutton family is lucky that I didn’t take them down because of you,” Oscar said indifferently.
Amelia stroked his cheek with her hand and coaxed him, “Don’t be angry. No one would have thought that the plane would go missing, so it has nothing to do with the Hutton family. If you blame them, it would seem that we are petty.”
Oscar looked at her with his head lowered and sighed helplessly.
“You always make me worry about you.”
“I’m sorry.” Amelia apologized obediently. However, before changing the conversation, she said playfully, “If I don’t do that, wouldn’t your life be even more boring?”
Oscar couldn’t help but laugh.
There was nothing he could do with Amelia.
After more than ten hours on the plane, Amelia finally returned to her own country. She got off the plane and stepped onto the familiar land feeling all secured.
“It’s good to be back,” said Amelia.
When she landed on the uninhabited island, Amelia knew that she would starve. She didn’t even know if passing ships would see them, or if the government search and rescue teams could find them, let alone Oscar finding their location. She had been worrying quietly.
Fortunately, everything was going in a good direction. It only took a few days for them to be found. Luck was really on their side. Compared with those who had suffered plane crashes, they were considered very lucky.
“Come on, let’s go home.” Oscar took Amelia’s hand and asked Hugo and the others to go back and rest first. He also told them that they had worked hard for the past few days, and he gave them a few days off to have a good rest.
“Thank you, Boss,” the others cheered.
Oscar waved his hand at them and got into the car that was already waiting there. On the other hand, Kurt, who stayed where he was, looked at the car that was driving away with a flash of infatuation in his eyes.
“Let’s go. You should be happy that Mrs. Clinton made it back safely. Don’t covet anything that doesn’t belong to you. You should find a docile and gentle woman to marry and have children,” said Hugo while he put his hand on Kurt’s shoulder.
However, Kurt merely threw him a glance before he turned around and left in silence.
Hugo looked at Kurt’s back and could only shake his head helplessly.
