Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274 A Love Too Deep

“Water… Water…” Amelia muttered in a hoarse voice after waking up as her throat felt really dry.

Oscar quickly handed her a glass of water, only to see her staring blankly at him in confusion.

“I thought you were thirsty,” Oscar said gently while looking at her affectionately.

Amelia’s lips twitched slightly as she drank the water obediently.

“What are you doing here?” she asked while staring at Oscar when her throat was feeling a little better.

The look in Oscar’s eyes changed for a split second, but he was quick to hide it. He gently caressed her hair as he said, “How can a husband not visit his wife when she’s in the hospital?”

Hearing that made Amelia feel conflicted instantly.

Please don’t be so nice to me, Oscar… The nicer you are to me, the harder it will be for me to leave you… It’ll make me feel stupid about everything I’ve done!

Oscar felt his heart throb when he saw her go silent.

“I’m sorry, Amelia. Will you please stop torturing me like this? You’re the only woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. I really love you, Amelia. I promise I won’t look at any other women in the future, so please stop saying you want to divorce me. It really hurts my heart…” he said, placing her hand on his chest.

Amelia was so moved that she was about to say yes, only to be snapped out of it when her vision went black all of a sudden.

She quickly pulled her hand back and tried to appear calm as she replied, “I’m tired, Oscar. Can you please leave for now?”

Oscar stared deeply at her with a hint of pain in his eyes.

“Honey, you’re still—”

“Please leave, Oscar! I’m really tired!” Amelia raised her voice in her state of panic.

Oscar is way too smart! I need to get rid of him fast or he’ll notice for sure!

“Do you really hate to see me that much?”

Amelia closed her eyes and turned her body to the other side of the bed. “Just leave, Oscar. You promised you’d give me some personal space for a few days. You’re not going back on your promise, are you?” she voiced while fighting her tears back.

Instead of leaving, Oscar simply stood there and stared at her in silence.

“Oscar? Oscar?” Amelia tried calling out to him when she didn’t hear anything after a while.

Oscar didn’t respond and continued observing her without making a sound.

Thinking he had left, Amelia couldn’t help feeling disappointed as tears flowed down her cheeks.

Not being able to see made the silent hospital ward feel terrifyingly empty, and she began sobbing softly out of helplessness.

The sound of her crying tugged at Oscar’s heartstrings. Unable to hold himself back any longer, he stepped forward and carefully pulled her into his embrace. “Why are you crying?”

Amelia was so shocked that she instinctively struggled with all of her might.

“Stop struggling! Let me hug you!” Oscar pleaded.

Amelia stopped struggling after that and leaned obediently against his chest. With her heart filled with sadness and her vision shrouded in darkness, she only had his shoulder to lean on at that time.

“I’m sorry, Honey. You can punish me in any way you like, just don’t bring up divorce so easily. It hurts me really badly whenever I hear it. Let’s make up. I’ll accept any and all of your punishments for the rest of my life,” Oscar said submissively.

Amelia closed her eyes and forcefully suppressed her tears.

By the time she opened her eyes again, the look of sadness on her face had vanished. “Can you let go of me first?” she asked calmly.

Oscar froze and stared at her in disbelief.

She’s being so cold to me that it almost feels like we’re complete strangers! I don’t understand… She claimed to love me so much a few days ago… How did she change so drastically in such a short period of time? Did me having sex with Cassie hurt her that much? Well, now that I think about it… If our roles were switched, I would probably get so mad that I would want to kill the guy. Regardless, my love for her would never allow me to divorce her! But even if I chose to forgive her in the end, it would still haunt me for the rest of my life.

Amelia broke free from his embrace when he was distracted and lay back in bed. “Leave, Oscar. Go now or I’ll get myself discharged from the hospital,” she said firmly.

Oscar stared at her for a while but gave in to her request eventually.

“All right, I’ll go. I’ll come see you tomorrow.”

Amelia deliberately put on a cold look as she rejected him, “Don’t bother. I need some time alone.”

Oscar slowly clenched his fists. After a while, he said, “Okay, sure. I’ll be on my way now.”

This time, he actually left the ward.

Tiffany and Kurt waited until he was gone before entering the ward. “Why do you have to be like this, Amelia?” Tiffany asked when she saw her lying on the bed.

“You promised you’d help me, Tiff,” Amelia said indifferently.
