Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 Visiting

Olivia’s illness prompted Amelia to let go of all the grudge and anger she held earlier. The latter asked Tiffany to babysit Tony, then got into Oscar’s car to head over to the hospital. She even bought tons of fruits and supplements on the way over.

Even when they were in the car, Amelia asked nervously, “Oscar, do you think mom will be mad at me for being immature and not taking care of her when she is sick?”

Oscar freed up one hand to interlace his fingers with hers. “Don’t worry. Mom has always liked you, and the only reason her illness acted up is that she feels like she wronged you. She will let go of that guilt once you visit her, and I’m sure she will recover immediately after.”

Amelia was still nervous anyway. She was worried that Olivia would be mad at her for leaving with Tony. Regardless of the situation, Olivia was her mother-in-law, and Amelia couldn’t refute even if Olivia insisted on blaming her.

Oscar took another look at Amelia before commenting, “You and mom really are alike. Like you, she worried that you would blame her for Stephanie’s matter. Overthinking is the reason she got ill again. Her heart has always been weak, and Mr. Lancester had warned her multiple times that she shouldn’t get agitated or overthink things. Stephanie’s act truly infuriated mom this time, and I’m sure mom will recover faster once you visit her. Your visit will surely lift her mood.”

Amelia forced herself to grin a little.

“Are you feeling better?”

Amelia changed the topic and asked, “You haven’t slept well in days, Oscar. Are you sure you’re okay? Should I drive instead?”

Oscar couldn’t help grinning at that. He stared at Amelia and teased, “Oh, you’re not calling me Mr. Clinton anymore? You have no idea how heartbroken I was that day when you took Tony away and called me Mr. Clinton. At the time, I wondered if you had truly decided to leave me. Now that I hear you calling my name again, I realized that my name is actually pleasing to the ears!”

Amelia couldn’t resist rolling her eyes at him. She realized that after they professed their love to one another, Oscar’s distant style was up and gone. He became talkative and loved teasing her. It was as if someone had unlocked the hidden feature of his tongue, and his words just flew out like bullets in a machine gun.

“Mr. Clinton, where is that cool style you used to have?”

Oscar put on a straight face and asked, “Do you not like the change?”

Change… That word hit a bull’s eyes in Amelia’s heart. She instinctively turned to Oscar, and her lips curved into a smile.

She later tilted her head down a little to hide that smile. Her voice was a little annoyed when she reminded, “Oscar, in the future, you must inform me beforehand no matter when you go, even if we are having a fight. At least send me a text to tell me that. I don’t want to have to ask others before I get to contact you or learn about your whereabouts.”

Oscar took that seriously. He nodded and promised, “Okay. Also, I will have my people investigate why you can’t receive my calls when I was overseas.”

Amelia nodded slightly.

Oscar squeezed her hand and said, “Something like this will never happen again.”

Amelia tilted her head down, but her lips were smiling. She looked happy and contented.

Oscar kept his eyes on the road. Reluctantly, he parted his lips to speak. “Amelia, the thing about Stephanie…”

The smile on Amelia’s lips slowly faltered.

“When I first learned that she is the mastermind behind your accident, I thought about having her assassinated. It’s just that she is my sister, and we have loved each other for over twenty years. Moreover, she is our parents’ heart and soul. I simply couldn’t get myself to hurt her. That was why I made things clear with her and cut her off. In a way, I had disowned her as my sister. I’m not sharing all this to excuse myself for my mistake. I just want you to know how much you mean to me.”

Amelia couldn’t help tearing up a little. Her tears slipped out of her eyes uncontrollably, and she secretly wiped them away with her hand.

She wasn’t crying because she was sad. Those were tears of joy because she felt like those were the most romantic words she had ever heard.

“Thank you, Oscar.” Thank you for admitting that you love me, and thank you for saying that you care more about me than you do your sister. Also, thank you for telling me that I am no longer an unimportant being in your life.

Oscar softly caressed Amelia’s hand.

The two of them remained all lovey-dovey inside the car, and the journey that would normally take thirty minutes ended up taking an hour. In Oscar’s defense, he simply wanted to spend a little more time with Amelia, for he had not seen her in two weeks. Hearing her sweet voice made him feel like his heart was about to melt.

He eventually found a parking spot and parked the car before he got the gifts they got for his mother out of the car. With the gifts in one hand and Amelia’s hand in his other hand, he asked sweetly, “Amelia, are you still feeling any pain anywhere?”

“I’m fine. Dr. Kane said that my recovery is actually much faster than the average patient. He even claimed that I might be the only one who could get off the bed within two months,” replied Amelia in a nonchalant tone. The truth was that she knew all too well that her body wasn’t actually healing well. There were many times when her body ached all over as she slept at night, and her vision often turned blurry with no prior warning. She assumed those were just temporary issues caused by the accident, so she didn’t pay much attention to it.
