Novel Bin Chapter 360 - Inner Pressure
Meanwhile at the Siloan hospital, a toddler was seen lying weakly with an IV tube stuck to his left hand. His face looked very pale as porcelain along with his lips, which didn\'t look like a healthy toddler his age.
Oscar stared at the sight in front of him with a sad and regretful look. He put his jacket on the back of the chair and sat down. The face of this man, who used to look charming and extraordinarily handsome, now looked disheveled and messy as if he were a white, withered rose.
Behind him, a tall man was seen carrying a bottle of mineral water. He approached Oscar who was pondering beside William\'s bed and said, "Mr. Oscar, you need water."
Oscar grabbed the water Dani handed him, but his gaze was still locked on his son who was lying languidly.
The expression on his face that was usually not easy to read now exuded a dark aura that radiated from his handsome face. The circles under his eyes grew darker day by day as a result of staying up late, thinking about William.
Dani had never seen Oscar look as devastated as he was today. No matter how hard his work in the office was, the golden-haired man had never lost his passion in his life like this.
A nurse came in with a syringe and a bottle filled with a liquid that Oscar suspected was medicine. He didn\'t know what kind of medicine it was but he was sure that the nurse was holding a sedative.
The nurse approached William who was lying lethargic, and slowly lifted one of his arms that had an IV line, then injected the drug through it. The pain ran through William\'s tiny body until the boy screamed in pain. William could not endure it and cried out loud.
Oscar could only see and feel the pain his son was enduring. If he could replace him, he would certainly do. He\'d even take a bullet for his son, but the sight in front of him was simply heartbreaking.
The blonde haired man crumpled the newspaper beside him. He couldn\'t help but feel the anger burning in his chest seeing what Clara had done to William that his son was the way he was today.
"Sir, there\'s no point in venting your anger this way. We can\'t undo something that had happened," Dani said worriedly.
Oscar turned his head, glaring at Dani like a cold-blooded murderer. "Dani! Can you sympathize a little? My son nearly died from that bastard woman!"
"Sir, be patient. Fortunately William survived. Even though he had to undergo a surgery, at least he\'s still with us," Dani added.
"This is all my fault! If I hadn\'t let my guard down, William wouldn\'t have to endure this kind of suffering," Oscar replied in a choked voice. Without realizing it, his eyes began to water.
"Mr. Oscar, this is not your fault. This is Miss Clara\'s fault. She is so cruel and conscientious that she could harm herself and William."
"Where is she now?" Oscar asked sharply.
"Miss Clara? She\'s still in the ICU. The doctor said that she\'s in grave danger because she hasn\'t woken up for two days," Dani said.
"That bastard...!" Oscar immediately pounded the table in the hospital room, making Dani startled.
He was beyond furious when he found out how that woman had been treating William. Clara kidnapped him and hid him in an apartment that Oscar could never reach. The woman deliberately kidnapped him as a means to threaten Oscar into marrying her.
Fortunately, Oscar has been trying to find out where William was being held hostage for several months. He moved his troops to find him and found William\'s whereabouts thanks to Dani and his colleagues.
Still, they had to confront a gang of thugs that Clara had specially hired to protect William from whoever tried to take him first.
Nobody expected that something bad would happen. Clara threatened Oscar to commit suicide with William if the man did not want to marry her.
Clara was about to jump from the 5th floor carrying William. If Oscar didn\'t want to marry her, then William would die with her. But Oscar didn\'t want to marry Clara either! He only loved Lisa and he had no other woman in his heart.
Oscar instantly regretted his decision at that time. He was forced to pretend to accept Clara\'s request thinking that he would get William back, but neither in his mind nor his heart beat for that woman.
Unfortunately, he messed up everything. He didn\'t expect Clara to be so adamant about marrying him that she had the heart to hurt William in return.
Oscar came face to face with Clara in the apartment with his hired troops. He had to be careful about taking the next step before that woman did something to his son.
When Oscar and one of his hired troops stepped closer, Clara climbed the balcony\'s rail, ready to jump.
"Clara! Don\'t do it! Give William back to me now!" Oscar shouted, trying to convince that stubborn woman to give up.
"I don\'t want to! Unless you agree to marry me, I wouldn\'t leave William to you!" Clara snapped, hugging William tightly.
"No way!" Oscar replied loudly. His voice drew the attention of residents who witnessed the fierce fight between the two.
Hearing that clear rejection made Clara\'s anger burn even more. The woman finally lost her mind. She stood on the rail and was about to jump, but her feet slipped, causing her and William to fall.
The boy was found in the balcony on the 4th floor while Clara fell on the roof on the ground floor.
Her whole body was crushed, her thin and frail body seemed to be shattered like a porcelain vase. Blood flowed from behind her temples which were cracked from colliding with the roof.
This incident almost made both her and William lose their lives, and forced them to be admitted to the hospital for surgery. Fortunately, William\'s life wasn\'t threatened as he only needed a few stitches and a sedative, and that his condition was getting better. However, Clara had not yet regained consciousness in the ICU.
"Mr. Oscar?" Dani said, patting Oscar\'s shoulder. The blonde haired man immediately woke up from his reverie. He glanced up, staring at Dani\'s face in return.
"Sir, what would you like to do with Miss Clara if she survives?" Dani asked dryly.
"Send her back to America. I\'m fed up with her."
Oscar had no pity for Clara since that incident. He no longer saw the same woman whom he admired once in her anymore. For him, the current Clara had completely turned into a devil. Oscar didn\'t even care about his promise to the Gunawan family that he\'d always look after Clara even when they were no longer lovers.
"Are you sure sending her back to America won\'t make her threaten you again?" Dani asked. He tried to show empathy.
"I don\'t want to help a demon with human skin like Clara. She deserves to be left behind and forgotten. She has destroyed my relationship and almost killed my son. I can\'t let her stay around."
Dani nodded, as if he already knew what to do next.. "I\'ll take care of everything, from tickets to passport when the time comes. But that only if Miss Clara wakes up and is still breathing,"
