Too Much to Bear, My Love Chapter 208

Carter shook his head. “Amelia, you know I’m not a petty person. Tiffany has said worse before.”

Amelia nodded. “Carter, come sit.”

Carter sat on the sofa.

Oscar came up to Amelia and gave her a peck on her lips. “How’re you feeling today?”

Amelia lightly pushed Oscar with her hands and chastised, “ Oscar, don’t be like this. Both Tiff and Carter are here.”

Tiffany nonchalantly said, “Babe, just pretend we’re not here and do whatever you want. I’m used to it anyway.”

Amelia’s cheeks blushed red. The blissfulness and happiness in her eyes were there for all to see.

Carter’s smile gradually turned awkward. A flash of pain flitted across his eyes. He felt a stabbing pain in his heart.

It has only been a month but she has become more attractive. It’s not her appearance, but the glow from her happiness.

I know I don’t stand a chance because there’s only one man in her eyes.

Carter felt conflicted with his emotions. He wished Amelia happiness, yet he hoped he was the one giving it.

“Carter, are you feeling better?” Amelia’s voice pulled him back from his train of thoughts.

“I’m sorry, Amelia. What did you say?”

Tiffany glanced at Carter.

“I asked if you’re feeling better now?” Amelia repeated.

“Yes, I’m recovering well. My mom wanted me to stay for a couple more days,” Carter blurted out. “Amelia, why didn’t you tell me you’ve gotten into an accident? Were you planning to hide it from me?”

Amelia chuckled, “Carter, that’s not it. I was unconscious and subjected to the emergency rescue for a few days. The doctor even issued a medical crisis notice. Of course, these were all relayed to me by Tiff. Anyway, I almost die. And when I woke up, Oscar and Tiff were there to take care of me. There’s no need to trouble you.”

Bitterness spread through Carter’s heart.

So I’m merely an outsider in her eyes.

“As long as you’re fine,” Carter replied.

Amelia glanced at Oscar awkwardly.

Tiffany added, “Hey Jinx, why didn’t you bring a gift when you visited? Isn’t it rude to visit empty-handed?”

Carter apologized.

Amelia cast Tiffany a reprimanding look. “Tiff, it’s rare for Carter to visit, so don’t you scare him away.”

Tiffany shrugged and laughed, “It’s just a joke. Jinx has always been understanding. So he wouldn’t mind. Right, Jinx?”

Carter merely nodded.

Carter wanted to stay a bit longer but couldn’t bear the sight of Oscar fussing over Amelia another second longer. “Amelia, I’m going to head back to my ward. My mom would be worried if I was gone for too long. And I didn’t have my phone with me. I’ll drop by another day.”

Amelia wanted to get up from her bed, but Carter immediately stopped her. “It’s okay, Amelia. There’s no need to get up. I can get back just fine. You lay down and rest.”

Amelia complied.

Tiffany said, “Babe, I’ll send him off on your behalf, then I’m going to get something to eat downstairs. You need me to get anything for you both?”

Amelia shook her head.

“All right then. I’ll send Jinx off, so you and Mr. Clinton can be all lovey-dovey here.”

Amelia instinctively glanced at Carter and noticed the pain in his eyes despite his deadpan expression.

After Carter and Tiffany left Amelia’s ward, Carter was unusually silent.

Tiffany couldn’t stand to look at him being that way. She poked him with her elbow. “Hey, can’t bear to look at Amelia and Oscar being happy together? The Jinx I know wouldn’t give up so easily. Or have you realized the gap between you and Oscar and found out you came up short, so you wanted to give up?”

Carter shook his head.

Tiffany shrugged. “Nothing is uglier than a crestfallen man. Straighten your back if you’re a man.”

Carter cast her a glance and smiled.

“I was lamenting when I saw how happy and blissful Amelia is. It has only been a month since we last met.”
