Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 302

“Are you thinking about him?” Tiffany queried.

Amelia knew who Tiffany was referring to. The former suspected that being in a foreign place had lowered her defenses and made her recall the beautiful past that had been etched into her heart. She didn't deny anything as she replied, “Yeah, I miss him. I know he will marry someone else soon, and I know they will have their own children, but I still can't help missing him. In fact, I just realized that I underestimated my love for him and overestimated my self-control. I thought that I can bury everything deep within my heart and only recall that past every once in a while, but I can't even do that.”

Tiffany was worried that Amelia would overthink things, so she pretended to be calm. “Cheer up, Babe. Time will make everything better. Besides, you have Tony with you, so all we have to do is to go for the treatment. Who knows? You might not lose your vision after all. If Oscar hasn't married anyone by the time we return, you can get him back. It won't matter how many women are circling around him. If he loves you, the two of you will surely get back together.”

Hearing that, Amelia smiled without saying anything.

“Come on, let's go for a walk. The scenery here is breathtaking, and it's perfect for recuperating,” said Tiffany. What she neglected to point out was that the place was also perfect for hiding mistresses. Who knows how many of them are hiding around this villa? Damn. I'm thinking too much. I must have tired myself with work.

Amelia followed Tiffany out for a walk. Unfortunately, the former's vision blurred over before long. She lost her vision entirely after that.

Amelia grinned bitterly. Her eyes had been working well the past couple of days, and she thought that the angels had decided to help her out. For a moment, she thought that she would not go blind. However, she lost her vision at an unexpected moment and didn't know if she could regain her vision again.

Noticing that the other woman had stopped walking, Tiffany questioned, “Babe, what's wrong?”

“I can't see anything, Tiff,” Amelia informed with a sad smile. “Can you come help me?”

Panicked, Tiffany waved her hand in front of Amelia, and as suspected, the latter didn't respond to it at all.

Holding her friend's hand, Tiffany cooed, “Don't worry, Babe. I'll get you back into the house and have Jeremy send a doctor over right away.”

Still with a smile, Amelia responded, “Don't worry, Tiff. This is not my first time dealing with situations like these. The only difference is that I have no idea if I'll be lucky enough to regain my vision this time. Oh, if I had known that I'm going blind today, I would've spent more time admiring the clear sky yesterday.”

Though Amelia sounded calm, Tiffany was heartbroken when she heard that, as she tilted her head up to force her tears back in.

“Come on, I'll take you back into the house. Don't worry. We'll get a doctor over soon, and I'm sure you'll be fine.”

When they were back in the house, Jeremy was assigning tasks to a maid. “Jeremy,” Tiffany called out.

Hearing his name, the butler turned around and nodded at the ladies before shifting his attention back to the maid. “You're dismissed.”

When the maid left, Jeremy walked over to Tiffany. Even though no one said anything, Jeremy was observant, so he noticed Amelia's strange behavior straight away. “What's wrong, Amelia?”

“Her eyes are feeling off. Can you ask a few doctors over to examine her?” requested Tiffany.

“Yes, of course, but if Amelia's eyes are really hurting, why not just go to the hospital?” Jeremy suggested. “The head of Provincial Hospital is actually Mr. Hisson's friend.”

“That's not necessary for now. Please help me get a few doctors over. If things truly spiral out of control afterward, then we'll go to the hospital,” replied Tiffany.

“Okay, then. I'll go make some calls. The doctors should be here in about an hour.”

“Thank you, Jeremy.”

“It's no trouble at all. You are Mr. Hisson's girlfriend and the first woman he ever brought home, so I'm sure he cares deeply for you. That means you might be the lady of the house in the future,” uttered Jeremy with a smile.

Hearing that, Tiffany felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't mind being regarded as the lady of the house. If her relationship with Derrick bore fruit, she would be okay with marrying him.

She helped Amelia to the sofa while Jeremy went to make a call. It didn't take long before the butler returned and announced, “I've called the doctors, and they will be here soon. Amelia's condition seems pretty grave, though. Should we help her to her room so she can rest better?”

Letting out a smile, Amelia responded, “It's fine, Jeremy. I'd like to sit here for a while. If you have something to do, you can go.”

“Okay, then please call out to me if either of you needs anything. Before Mr. Hisson left, he told me to take care of the two of you, and he will probably fire these old bones if I fail to do so. Oh, woe shall engulf me in the worst manner should that happen.”

Amelia and Tiffany giggled when they heard that joke.

Jeremy was going to leave right away, but a maid suddenly entered the villa and reported, “Ms. Halliwell is here, Jeremy.”

Glancing at Tiffany, Jeremy turned to the maid again. “Tell Ms. Halliwell that Mr. Hisson is not home and chase her away.”

The maid didn't get to reply before a sexy lady in a red dress and heavy make-up entered the room.

“Jeremy, I heard Derrick is back,” said the lady as she walked to Jeremy. At first, anyone would assume that someone with an outfit like that would surely be bold. However, her voice was sweet and soft, and she sounded great. It was as if she was naturally coquettish without ever needing to try.

Jeremy didn't hate the woman standing in front of him. If anything, he quite enjoyed the company of the woman because they had known each other for quite some time. He would also be delighted if she and Derrick started a romantic relationship. Unfortunately, the heart was something that could not be controlled, and her love was not reciprocated.

She and Mr. Hisson are simply not meant to be. Mr. Hisson had just brought the ladies over last night, and this woman is here today. I guess somebody in this villa leaked the information to her.

Derrick didn't have a girlfriend until recently, so Jeremy was okay with letting the spy stay employed within the house. However, circumstances had changed, and Jeremy thought that it was time to kick some spies out of the house.

“How do you know that Mr. Hisson is back?” questioned Jeremy. He never bothered denying the fact that Derrick was back in the city.
