Chapter 730 I Do Not Agree
After dropping Tony off that the Clinton residence, Amelia and Oscar rushed to the airport and boarded the six
o’clock flight. Upon arriving at Saspiuburg, both of them got into the private car that had been waiting for them.
Oscar said, “Take us to Principal General Hospital.”
“Got it, Mr. Clinton,” answered the driver, who was sent by a businessman whom Oscar got to know in Saspiuburg.
With that, the former drove off to the hospital skillfully.
The moment they arrived at the hospital, Amelia and Oscar got onto the elevator and went upstairs immediately. To
their dismay, the ward was empty. Seeing that, Amelia stopped a nurse who was passing by. “Excuse me, where’s
the patient from this room?”
The nurse replied warmly, “Mrs. Hutton, you mean? She sneaked out of the hospital this morning. The entire Hutton
family is worried sick. They’re all searching for her now. Are you their relative? Perhaps, you should give Mr. Hutton
a call first. We have no idea where Mrs. Hutton is now. She shouldn’t have sneaked out when she was in such poor
condition. She has created such a big mess for us. Mr. Hutton even scolded our manager because of this.”
Amelia could not help but frown as she listened to the nurse nag. Once the nurse left, Oscar suggested, “Let’s give
the Hutton family a call and ask about the situation.”
Amelia simply nodded as that was their only option. She dialed Benjamin’s number, but no one picked up. She then
tried dialing Sean’s. The phone rang for a long time before someone finally picked up.
“Hey, Sean. It’s me. I’m at the hospital now. The nurse says Mom has left. What’s going on?” Amelia went straight
to the point. There was a slight pause before the voice responded in disbelief, “Amelia? Didn’t your plane go
missing? Are you okay now?”
“It’s a long story. Where are you now? I’ll go to you.” Hence, Sean gave her an address. “Wait there. Oscar and I
are going over now.” With that, Amelia and Oscar rushed off to look for Sean.
It did not take long for them to arrive at Sean’s location. Amelia quickly got out of the car and ran toward him. Sean
was dressed in a white shirt and pants. If one were to ignore his unshaven chin, they might think he was a white
knight.
“Sean, what’s going on? Why would Mom suddenly leave the hospital?” Amelia asked anxiously.
“She heard the news about your plane going missing and the possibility of you being unable to return. That’s why
she slipped out of the hospital. She can’t possibly have taken a flight to Tayhaven since she doesn’t have a cent on
her. What’s worse is that she didn’t bring her phone. We’ve been looking for her the whole day, and we haven’t
found anything,” Sean said with furrowed brows.

Eleanor’s condition was worsening. In fact, the news about Amelia’s plane going missing was a huge blow to her. No
one could predict what would happen to the former if she was still not found.
“Have you searched places like the airport and the train station?”
“Yes. We’ve tried searching all the possible locations, but she’s nowhere to be found. We have no idea where she’s
gone.” Just as they were about to lose their minds, Sean received a call from the police station.
His heart sank immediately. He quickly recollected himself and answered, “Hello?”
“Is this Mr. Hutton? A citizen found an unconscious woman and sent her to the police station. We found her
information using her ID card and acquired your contact details. Can you come over to pick her up?” A trained
female voice traveled from the phone’s speakers.
“Yes, yes. Of course. I’ll go there now. Please take care of my mother,” said Sean. “We will. Please hurry
over.” Ending the call, Sean said emotionally, “Mom’s at the police station now. Let’s go there.”
Soon, all three of them arrived at the police station. Sean caught a female police officer’s hand and said, “Ma’am,
I’m Sean Hutton. One of your colleagues called and told me my mom’s here. Can I see her?”
“Oh, you must be Mr. Hutton. Follow me,” said the police officer warmly.
Upon entering a tiny room, the trio immediately noticed a sleeping Eleanor. Sean dashed over and studied her pale
face. It made his heart ache.
“Mom… Mom…” he called out softly. However, Eleanor did not respond.
“Ma’am? What’s wrong with my mom? Why didn’t you guys send her to the hospital?” Sean questioned, sounding
as if he was blaming the police.
“It’s not like that, Mr. Hutton. She was still awake a while ago. In fact, I exchanged a few words with her. She
insisted she was fine and wanted to leave. I told her to wait here for a while and that you’ll be arriving soon. Who
would’ve known that she’d fall asleep so easily?” the police officer explained.
Sean felt slightly embarrassed. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. You can stay here to keep her company. I’ll continue with my work now.”
After the police officer had left, Amelia walked over and lowered her head to look at Eleanor, who was quietly
sleeping on the bed. It had been about four days since Amelia had last met Eleanor. The latter looked paler and
seemed to have lost a lot of weight. The fact that she looked very different compared to her pretty self a year ago
made others worry.
Amelia felt a deep pang of sorrow. She could not imagine what Eleanor had experienced in just a few days.
At the same time, Eleanor murmured something and slowly woke up.
As Eleanor opened her eyes, Amelia leaned over and said gently, “Mom, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?”
Stunned, Eleanor stared at Amelia, who suddenly appeared in front of her. The former then said blankly, “Lia, have
I gone to hell too? Well, that’s great. At least we can be ghosts together. That way, you don’t have to be afraid of
being alone here.”
Amelia felt a stab in her heart. At the same time, she was amused.
Eleanor truly loved her, even though they were separated for over twenty years. Eleanor did not treat Amelia
differently. The latter did better than most mothers.
Amelia could not help but feel that she would be letting Eleanor down if she did not acknowledge a mother like the
latter.
“Mom, I’m fine. Someone found the plane I was in, so Oscar flew over in his private jet to get me. I got home
yesterday. That’s why Oscar and I have come to Saspiuburg to see you,” Amelia explained gently.
Eleanor sat up on the bed and caressed Amelia’s face. It was warm to the touch. Teary-eyed, Eleanor asked, “Are
you really okay?”
Amelia nodded.
Eleanor pulled Amelia into her embrace and cried, “Lia, thank goodness you’re okay. I’ll never forgive myself if
something happened to you. You have no idea how worried I was when I heard that your plane had gone missing.”
Amelia allowed Eleanor to hug her and cry as she wished. When Eleanor was done venting, Amelia said, “Mom, let’s
go back to the hospital. Everyone’s been worried ever since you left.”
Eleanor nodded. The moment they walked out of the police station, Amelia Hutton and Benjamin could be seen
rushing over with concerned looks. However, when they saw Amelia Winters, they paused in their tracks briefly and
continued walking over.
Benjamin gave Amelia Winters a glance before saying to Eleanor, “Eleanor, why did you leave the hospital? Do you
know how worried I was?”
Perhaps Amelia’s presence had lifted Eleanor’s spirits. Even the smile on the latter’s face was wider.
“I’m sorry. I overheard you talking about Lia’s accident. I was worried you wouldn’t allow me to go to Tayhaven, so I
sneaked out. Anyway, Lia’s found. I’ll be going back to the hospital with all of you now,” Eleanor said weakly.
Amelia Hutton shot Amelia Winters a resentful look. She was upset about the fact that the latter’s appearance
calmed Eleanor, which was something their family failed to do.
Amelia Hutton would be lying if she denied feeling jealous of Amelia Winters. After all, she thought the latters’
chance of surviving the missing plane incident was slim. To her surprise, she was found in just three days.
Amelia Winters is really lucky. I can’t believe she actually survived a missing plane incident.
Amelia Hutton feigned concern and asked, “Amy, when did you come back? Didn’t the news say something
happened to the plane that was headed for Saspiuburg? We got a shock of our lives when we heard something

happened to you. Mom even reached out to her connections to ask the airport staff, but everyone said the plane
was still missing. We didn’t have the time to look up the internet yesterday because Mom wasn’t feeling well. But
look, you’re here today!”
“The rescue team found us yesterday. I wanted to come over in the morning to check on Mom, but many relatives
and friends came to pay me a visit after hearing the news. That’s why things got delayed until now,” explained
Amelia Winters.
“Wow, you’re like a cat with nine lives. Some elderly people say you’ll have great fortune in the future if you survive
an accident. You must have great fortune coming your way then,” Amelia Hutton said softly.
Amelia simply smiled and said nothing else.
Eleanor gazed at her briefly before prompting, “Let’s go back to the hospital.”
When they returned to the hospital, Benjamin helped Eleanor to settle in without asking her reason for leaving.
Seeing that she had finally drifted off to sleep, he turned to Amelia Winters. He hesitated for a moment and finally
asked awkwardly, “Lia, are you okay? It’s all my fault. You would’ve been fine if I didn’t tell you to come to
Saspiuburg. Thank goodness you’re all right. If not, I won’t be able to forgive myself.”
Amelia was stunned by what she had heard. It was Benjamin’s first time addressing her as “Lia”.
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault. No one would’ve guessed that the plane would go missing. Anyway, I told James to
come over and examine Mom previously. Can I know why you rejected his service, Mr. Hutton? He’s an expert in
neurosurgery. I’m sure Mom will have a greater chance of recovering with him treating her,” she said.
Benjamin said, “I know you’re doing this for your mom’s sake, but I’ve paid a huge sum of money to hire a
specialist from another country. There’s really no need for him to treat her.”
“Mr. Hutton, I know you don’t like me, but I hope you don’t use this as a reason to put my mom’s health at risk. Her
tumor is already in the metaphase, and it cannot be delayed anymore. James is also trying to get in touch with his
mentor. Both of them treated me in the past. His mentor has extraordinary medical skills and is also a responsible
person. I believe Mom will recover if they work together in this,” Amelia Winters said optimistically.
“I heard Dr. James is the director of a private hospital in Tayhaven. Surely he’s in charge of many things there. Are
you sure he can stay in Saspiuburg for a long period to treat her?” Benjamin asked a vital question.
Amelia Winters hesitated for a moment. Finally, she said, “I’d like to have her transferred to the hospital in
Tayhaven.”
Benjamin rejected, “I don’t agree. Saspiuburg’s medical facilities are great too. In fact, I think it’s as great as
Tayhaven’s. Besides, our family isn’t poor. We don’t need you to get involved in this. I can hire a professional team
to treat her. You don’t have to worry about this.”
She knew Benjamin was a stubborn person, but she never expected him to be that stubborn.
