Chapter 839 A Vicious Plot
When Isabella heard about Tony’s incident from Stephanie, she immediately knew her opportunity had come. At this moment, Oscar had weak willpower. I’m sure I can change Oscar’s opinion. I just have to get him to drink the medicine and hypnotize him.
Isabella felt that even God was on her side and blessed her with the golden opportunity to get her hands on Oscar. She was so ecstatic that she walked around excitedly with her eyes full of excitement. Stephanie walked over with her bulging belly and looked strangely at her. “Isabella, what are you doing?”
Isabella quickly suppressed her excitement and came up with an excuse. “I’ve put on some weight recently, so I wanted to exercise. Didn’t you say that Tony was injured? Let’s visit him at the hospital. He’s your nephew, after all.”
Stephanie fidgeted with her fingers and said casually, “He’s not dead. There’s no need for us to be in such a hurry to be nice to them. Oscar and Amelia wouldn’t appreciate our kind gestures, anyway. Not to mention I’m about to give birth. Who’ll be responsible if we rush to the hospital and something terrible happens on the way?”
Idiot. Isabella cursed at Stephanie inwardly. Despite what she thought, she persuaded, “Steph, you’re wrong. If we visit him now, Aunt Olivia will surely acknowledge your sincerity. With that, she’ll surely put in a good word for you in front of Oscar, no?”
Stephanie mulled over it and felt that Isabella’s words made sense.
After taking a glance at her belly, she said viciously, “All right, then. I’ll follow you to see if that nemesis of mine is dead already. With him around, I’m becoming more and more insignificant in the Clinton family.”
In response, Isabella said, “I’ll prepare some food. Since Oscar has been at the hospital for a whole day, he must be famished. I’ll tell them the food is prepared by you, okay? After all, you’re Oscar’s sister. There’s nothing wrong with you preparing food for him. If I were to say that the food was prepared by me, I’m afraid that he might not eat it.”
Stephanie shot her a doubtful look and asked, “You won’t lace the food, right?”
Isabella merely smiled in response.
After preparing a huge amount of food, Isabella followed Stephanie and Noah to the hospital. Upon arriving outside the ward, Stephanie, who was reluctant and wore a gloomy expression, immediately adjusted her expression. She put on an anxious expression and walked into the ward at a fast pace.
Stephanie held her waist to support her bulging belly and asked worriedly, “Mom, how’s Tony?”
Olivia held Stephanie and questioned, “What are you doing here? Aren’t you about to give birth? Why aren’t you staying at home?”
“Mom, I’m worried about Tony. I was so anxious when I heard that he was kidnapped,” Stephanie answered anxiously.
Olivia’s expression softened. “That’s so thoughtful of you.”
Stephanie walked toward the hospital bed and looked at Tony. With a frown, she asked with concern, “Mom, Tony looks terrible. What did the doctor say?”
“It’s not that serious. Calm down, okay?” Olivia answered.
Stephanie heaved a sigh of relief and got Noah to bring the food forward. “Mom, after what happened to Tony, Amelia and Oscar haven’t eaten much, right? Here, everyone, sit down and eat something. We won’t be able to take care of Tony if we’re hungry.”
Olivia’s expression eased up even more. “You’ve become so thoughtful, Stephanie.”
Stephanie laid out the food on the table and said, “Mom, I’m about to be a mother soon. I can’t possibly be as inconsiderate as before, right?”
Olivia nodded and invited Amelia and Oscar to eat.
At first, Amelia wasn’t in the mood to eat. Moreover, she didn’t feel like eating the food brought by Stephanie and the others. However, out of respect, she couldn’t turn Olivia down, so she had no choice but to sit down with Oscar and eat.
Isabella stared at Oscar as she watched him eat the food she prepared. When she saw he had finished the food on his plate, she heaved a sigh of relief silently and smiled.
Oscar then put his fork aside and glanced at Isabella. “Stephanie, bring the members of the Walker family away. I’m not in a good mood right now, and I don’t want these irrelevant people in the ward.”
Upon hearing that, Isabella stopped smiling. His words had dampened her good mood.
Stephanie got angry, and she got too emotional. With a hand on her belly, she shouted anxiously, “Mom, help! I think I’m about to give birth!”
Olivia held her and voiced, “Noah! Hurry and get the doctor! Your wife is about to give birth. Why are you still standing there?”
Noah dashed out of the ward and moments later, a group of doctors came to bring Stephanie to the operating room.
Olivia wanted to follow them, but she was worried about Tony. “Why does it have to be happening now? Don’t we have enough problems to worry about?”
“Mom, be with Stephanie, okay? She’s your daughter, after all. Oscar and I will stay here and take care of Tony,” Amelia said.
After contemplating for a while, Olivia agreed with her.
Just like that, Olivia and Owen rushed toward the operating room as well.
Amelia sighed and asked, “Oscar, shouldn’t you go over too?”
Oscar gazed at her and consoled her by saying, “Don’t worry. She’s just giving birth to a child. There’s nothing much to worry about. Besides, she’s giving birth to a Walker. Why should I be there?”
Amelia was rendered speechless.
She sat by Tony’s bed and watched him silently. While looking at Tony, she was frowning, and distress was written all over her face.
Seeing that, Oscar was in a foul mood as well. He bent down to kiss her on her head and said, “I’ll go get you a cup of coffee, okay?”
Amelia nodded in response.
The moment Oscar exited the ward, Isabella approached him and greeted, “Hey, Oscar.”
Oscar merely nodded at her indifferently and wanted to walk past her. However, Isabella slightly rotated her watch and uttered in a hypnotic tone, “Oscar, I would like to bring you to a place. Would you come with me?”
In an instant, Oscar’s eyes went dull, and he nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Jolin then appeared out of nowhere and said, “Boss, Mrs. Clinton is looking for you.”
When Isabella saw Jolin, a hint of viciousness flitted across her eyes. She then put on a pitiful look and glanced at Oscar. “Oscar, your bodyguard is so annoying. Don’t you get to decide who to talk to?”
Upon hearing that, Oscar turned toward Jolin and fumed, “Buzz off!”
Isabella cast a triumphant glance at Jolin and said, “Oscar told you to leave! Didn’t you hear him?”
Jolin threw her a complicated look in response. However, she had no choice but to obey Oscar and back down. Before she left, she turned to look at Oscar again. Why do I feel that something is wrong with Boss? He doesn’t seem himself.
Isabella smiled. “Oscar, let’s go. Your bodyguards are so annoying. Could you get all of them to leave?”
Oscar nodded and said obediently, “Yes.”
