Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 26

Arriving at the hospital, Amelia went to the doctor she was acquainted with to have an ultrasound scan. After the checkup, the doctor noted, “Mrs. Clinton, you’re very healthy, and the baby is developing well.”

“Thank you, Dr. Leonard. All I want is for my child to be born safely. No matter if my baby’s a girl or a boy, I’ll give you a gift as thanks.” Amelia chuckled as she tidied up her clothes.

Maria Leonard was a mild-mannered, middle-aged woman. She smiled back at her and said, “Mrs. Clinton, it’s all right. It’s my job as a doctor to do ultrasound scans for you. Moreover, you were the one who helped my husband with the plot of land back then. We haven’t even thanked you for that, so how can we still accept your gift?”

Climbing down from the bed, Amelia responded, “Dr. Leonard, that’s where you’re wrong. I was helping with Mr. Freeman’s land as a friend. If my baby comes to this world safe and sound, you’ll be our savior. You have to accept the gift.”

Unable to reject her, Maria relented, “Mrs. Clinton, you’re generous. It’s my pleasure to have met a wealthy woman like you.”

Sending her out, Maria reminded, “Mrs. Clinton, if you feel unwell, remember to call me.”

Amelia smiled. “Well, I hope you won’t find me disturbing then.”

After bidding farewell to Maria, Tiffany asked in concern, “Amelia, how’s my dear godson?”

Amelia touched her stomach and murmured fondly, “Tiff, how would you know if my baby’s a boy? What if it’s a girl?”

Turning the steering wheel, Tiffany announced, “I’ll still love her if she’s a goddaughter. If your baby’s a girl, I’ll dress her up like a princess when she’s a little older. I’ll take her to the kindergarten and pick her up at night. I’ll cook for her and tell her stories before she sleeps. She’ll tell me in a sweet voice, ‘Good night, Aunt Tiff.’ Just the thought of it melts my heart!”

Amused, Amelia inquired, “Since you like kids so much, why don’t you have one yourself?”
