Too Much to Bear, My Love Chapter 195

Just when they were chatting amiably in the ward, Amelia’s phone suddenly rang. Tiffany picked it up and saw that it was Oscar.

“It’s Oscar,” she revealed before answering the call. “Hello?”

When Oscar heard her voice, he fell silent for a moment before saying hesitantly, “Tiffany?”

“Yeah, it’s me. What is it?” Tiffany responded.

“I’m going to be late as there are still some documents I have to go through at my office. Please pass the message to Amelia.”

Tiffany immediately huffed, “Oscar Clinton, is this an excuse so you can sneak out to be with your mistress?”

“Seeing as you’re Amelia’s friend, I won’t reproach you. But still, you need to mind your words. You don’t want Amelia to worry, do you? Besides, if I want to get myself a mistress, I won’t make it a secret,” Oscar announced at the other end of the line firmly.

Stunned, Tiffany glanced at Amelia as her expression grew solemn.

“I’m sorry for being harsh earlier,” Tiffany immediately apologized. “Go back to work. I’ll take care of Amelia. But I’m warning you, if you dare to hurt her, I won’t let you off easily.”

Oscar didn’t take her warning seriously and replied, “Pass the phone to her. I need to say a few words to her.”

Without hesitation, Tiffany handed the phone to Amelia.

Oscar called out, “Amelia?”

Amelia hummed in acknowledgement.

“I’m still working, so I might be late. Take good care of yourself, you hear?”

“You should focus on your work. Mom and Tiff are here with me, so don’t worry,” came Amelia’s gentle reply. “Even if you’re busy, remember to take your meals on time. Don’t starve yourself.”

Warmth flooded Oscar’s heart upon hearing her reminder. Softly, he answered, “I know. I want to grow old together with you, so I’ll take good care of my health.”

Amelia felt her cheeks heating in embarrassment. She couldn’t handle Oscar after his abrupt change, but his sweet nothings still brought her a ray of happiness.

“I got it. You should go back to work.”

After cutting the line, Tiffany took the phone from her and joked, “Babe, look how flushed you are. You need to calm down. I can’t believe how love-struck you are.”

Amelia blushed even harder when she heard that.

As Tiffany pulled the covers up, she grinned. “I know you love Oscar, and that you’re happy with him. Be good and take a nap now.”

A blissful smile played on Amelia’s lips. She was exhausted, so after exchanging some friendly banter with Tiffany, she promptly fell into a deep slumber.

Gazing at Amelia’s peaceful expression, Tiffany felt pleased. Still, she couldn’t stop worrying about her friend. It was clear that Amelia had fallen head over heels for Oscar. Oscar’s attitude had changed after the accident. Is Oscar’s hidden feelings for Amelia deeper than the love Amelia has for him? She fell in love with him first, so she has to suffer more. She’s destined to be on the losing side as she said “I love you” first.

“Babe, I hope you did the right thing, and Oscar is your Mr. Right. I want you to form a happy family with him,” Tiffany lamented and let out a sigh.

Meanwhile, after talking to Amelia, Oscar hung up and scowled unhappily.

He leaned in his chair and glared at a man, who was pinned to the ground by his bodyguards. “Spill,” he commanded as the man shivered in fear.

Immediately, the man revealed in a trembling voice, “M-Mr. Clinton, please forgive me this once. I won’t do it again! I didn’t hit Mrs. Clinton on purpose. It was Ms. Stephanie who gave me the orders! I’m telling the truth.”

Oscar narrowed his gaze.

After a while, he gestured at his bodyguards, who immediately pulled out a knife before stabbing it down on the man’s palm.

The next moment, the man’s wails of anguish resonated in the room.

Oscar frowned. “Seal his mouth.”

A cloth was stuffed into the man’s mouth.

The man lay on the ground and held his bleeding right hand, writhing in pain.

Oscar gave another nod, and one of the bodyguards removed the cloth from the man’s mouth.
