Chapter 724 Plane Accident
Oscar only drove back to their apartment in the city after the plane disappeared from his sight. After he had dinner
with Tony, the two of them had a thirty-minute playtime that was surprisingly peaceful. Then, he gave Tony a bath
and tucked the boy into bed. It was then that his phone rang with a call from Linda.
She sounded anxious as she stuttered, “M-Mr. Clinton, the plane Mrs. Clinton is on lost contact due to turbulence.
My friend who works in the airport knows that I bought a ticket for this flight, so she gave me a call.”
Instantly, Oscar’s face fell. A dry lump formed in his throat, constricting his neck. “I got it.” He then tried to phone
Hugo to ask the latter to check the authenticity of the news, but he couldn’t even press the screen properly with his
trembling fingers.
When he finally managed to make the call, he told Hugo, “Hugo, find out what happened with Amelia’s flight to
Saspiuburg.” Even his voice quivered slightly as he spoke.
“Got it, Boss.” Upon hanging up, Oscar looked at Tony’s peaceful expression. He whispered, “Don’t worry, Tony. I
won’t let anything bad happen to your mom. She is mine. Not even Hades can take her from me.”
Minutes felt like years as Oscar waited for the news. Mixed feelings filled his heart—he was scared to receive
Hugo’s phone call, but he also looked forward to him bringing good news. Not long after, Hugo’s call came.
“Mr. Clinton, Mrs. Clinton’s plane temporarily lost contact with the airline company half an hour ago due to
turbulence. However, please don’t worry. The search and rescue teams are currently at work. Mrs. Clinton will be
fine,” Hugo reassured.
Oscar felt his head throb. “Hugo, instruct the men to find the plane. I don’t trust the airline company. I have to look
into this myself and find Amelia immediately,” he declared in a low voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Got it, Mr. Clinton. I’ll inform everyone and tell them to locate the plane.”
“All right.”
With that, Hugo gathered all the men he had in the shortest time. Among them, one man was as panicked as Oscar
—Kurt.
“Hugo, is Amelia really on that missing plane?” he asked with a dark expression.
“I know you don’t want to believe this, but Mrs. Clinton is on that plane. Mr. Clinton must be going crazy. Otherwise,
he wouldn’t ask everyone to locate that plane. Now, we can only hope that the plane only lost touch temporarily. If
not… Well, Mrs. Clinton is a blessed woman, and I’m sure she’ll be fine. Don’t you worry too much,” comforted
Hugo as he patted Kurt’s shoulder, though his face also looked a little pale.
There had been many plane accidents in recent years, and once the plane lost contact, there was a big chance that
the passengers would meet their demise. At that moment, they could do nothing but console themselves and hope
that Amelia was safe.
Kurt slowly balled his hands into fists, his face was as black as thunder.
Seeing his expression, Hugo felt helpless. He knew the comforting words he had in mind could do nothing to cheer
Kurt up.
“Kurt, stop overthinking. What we have to do now is to locate Mrs. Clinton by all means. Don’t think about anything
else, okay?” he suggested.
Hugo was aware that Kurt never got over Amelia. Like an idiot, Kurt stayed away from Amelia to avoid disrupting
her family. Instead, he resorted to protecting her and Tony in secret. He tried to keep a distance from her as much
as possible.
He loved her silently in his own unique way.
“I know,” said Kurt with a hoarse voice.
Hugo glanced at him thoughtfully and stayed quiet.
Using the connections they had, Hugo and Kurt tried to find information on the flight. However, they found nothing
just like the police and the airline company.
Meanwhile, Oscar asked a bodyguard to look after Tony while he drove to the airport. When he arrived there, it was
already crowded with the passengers’ families, weeping and asking the airport staff if their loved ones could return
safely.
Naturally, the airport staff could not foresee the future. They could only manage helplessly, “The police are already
looking into it. We will get news soon.”
Hearing that, the passengers’ families felt agitated and desperate. Some even started wailing as they demanded
that the airline company bring back their loved ones.
The scene brought a frosty look to Oscar’s face.
Afraid that he would hear the news of the plane’s wreckage being discovered, he slowly retreated outside the
airport.
Throughout the whole night, he sat in his car. When the morning came, his phone rang. He picked it up in an instant
and asked, “Hugo, did you find anything?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Clinton. We haven’t found anything so far,” replied Hugo dejectedly.
Wiping his face in frustration, Oscar ordered, “Keep looking.”
“Yes, Mr. Clinton.”
The news of Amelia’s flight going missing eventually made its way around. Upon receiving the news, Olivia and
Owen hurried to Oscar’s apartment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Oscar, what happened to Amelia’s flight? Did they find the passengers already?” asked Olivia fretfully.
Oscar was slumped against the couch, his eyes void of light. It had been almost one day since the plane lost
contact. The lack of updates was a very worrying sign.
“Oscar, answer me. I’m worried sick!” urged Olivia.
“I don’t know, Mom,” Oscar croaked. “I’ve mobilized everyone I could to look into it, but they still haven’t found
anything. Tony doesn’t know about this, so don’t speak a word about it when he comes downstairs later. He’s a
smart boy. I’m afraid he would be heartbroken if he found out.”
Olivia was pained to see Oscar like this, but there was nothing she could do. After the plane went missing, even the
government went into action and sent out search and rescue teams. Yet, their efforts were futile so far.
Just then, Tony walked down the stairs. With a sullen face, he greeted, “Grandma, Grandpa, you’re here.”
Olivia swiftly wiped away the frown on her face and waved at him. “Come here, my sweet boy. What happened to
you? You’re pouting like a fish.”
Tony shook his head and looked up at Olivia. “Grandma, did something happen to Mommy?” he asked unhappily.
Olivia froze. Then, she quickly squeezed out a smile and asked him, “Why would you say that, Tony? Isn’t your
mommy taking care of your granny in Saspiuburg right now?”
“Grandma, stop lying to me. I heard Dad on the phone last night. Mommy’s plane has gone missing, right? But
that’s okay. I’m sure Mommy will be fine. I have to wait for her to come back, so I won’t cry. Mommy promised me
that she would watch me get married and have kids,” Tony said in his childlike tone.
A pang of pain hit Olivia’s heart when she heard Tony.
Tony was still young, but he was very thoughtful. In fact, he was even more perceptive than adults at times.
