Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 341

Chapter 341 Sick

After Amelia was wheeled into her ward, Tiffany carried Tony and tagged along, whereas Kurt headed downstairs to pay the medical bills.

When Tiffany saw Amelia’s limp figure on the bed, she felt her heart throb in pain. Yet, Tiffany felt slightly happy too. Looking on the bright side, the blood clots in her brain wouldn’t have dispersed so easily if Amelia hadn’t sustained this injury. Fortunately, this incident had a silver lining.

As Tiffany took a seat at the edge of the bed with Tony in her arms, Rory stepped forward and said, “Tiffany, let me carry Tony. It’s late, so why don’t you head home? You can leave the rest under my care. I’ve received my salary, so I won’t feel at ease if you still end up taking care of Amelia.”

Tiffany glanced at Amelia before she asked, “What time is it?”

Rory fished her phone out to check the time. “It’s already two in the morning.”

Tiffany placed Tony in Rory’s embrace, then instructed, “You should return home with Tony and take a good rest. Tomorrow, please wake up earlier and bring some soup for Amelia.”

“Tiffany, you should go in my stead. I can take care of Amelia alone,” Rory insisted.

Before Tiffany could reply, Kurt entered the ward. Tiffany turned to look at him and said, “Kurt, why don’t you and Rory go home? You can come back here tomorrow. I’ll look after Amelia tonight.”

Kurt pondered over her words for a brief moment before he replied, “Will you be able to handle it alone? I think it’d be better if the two of you return home. Let me stay here instead. Besides, I’m strong enough to endure a night without sleeping.”

Tiffany thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

She took Tony into her arms again and said to Kurt, “Okay, we’ll be taking our leave. If anything happens to Amelia, make sure to give me a call. I’ll bring breakfast in the morning.”

Kurt nodded.

After Tiffany and Rory left, Kurt took a seat by Amelia’s bed. Earlier, he had visited the doctor in charge for an explanation about her condition. The doctor had informed him that Amelia’s brain surgery had only lasted around four to five hours, meaning that it had ended rather quickly. Furthermore, she showed visible signs of improvement after the surgery. As long as there were no adverse side effects, Amelia could be discharged after two or three weeks. However, they could only check up on her eyesight after she regained consciousness.

Carefully, Kurt clutched Amelia’s cold hand as he gazed at her affectionately. This was the first time that he was in such close proximity to Amelia.

Kurt cradled her hand against his cheek. “Amelia, don’t worry. I will do anything to restore your vision, even if that means I have to visit countless doctors. In fact, I’ve already asked for someone to look for a compatible cornea donor. I won’t let you live the rest of your life blind.”

Despite the sincerity of his vow, Kurt’s words fell on deaf ears.

After Kurt continued to speak for a few moments, he suddenly rose to his feet and kissed Amelia’s forehead. After that, he gazed at her with adoration. Although her face was bare of any makeup, Amelia remained as perfect as a picture in his eyes.

Truthfully, he wasn’t sure when he started to fall in love with Amelia. When Kurt finally realized this, Amelia had won over his heart. No matter how hard he tried to resist, Kurt could not deny his overwhelming feelings for her. For the first time in his life, Kurt indulged in his desire to pursue a woman. In order to stay with Amelia, he didn’t even hesitate to go against Oscar, a man he used to revere.

If Oscar found them, he would have to face his devastating punishment. Yet, the thought of Amelia alone was enough to make everything worth it.

While Amelia was still unconscious, Kurt seized this chance to confess his true feelings. “Amelia, I’m willing to wait until you are ready to open up. All I ask is for you to give me a chance to get close to you. Please don’t shut me out. I’ve truly fallen hopelessly in love with you. You must be wondering how I’ve fallen for you in less than a year. Indeed, love is a mysterious force that acts in strange and unpredictable ways. I used to scoff at my colleagues when they talked about their partners. It looks like I’m now eating my own words. I can’t wait to shower you with love and care. However, at the same time, I’m afraid that you’ll get mad at me. I’ve become wary and cautious whenever it comes to you. To me, you are irreplaceable.”

That night, Kurt spent hours talking to Amelia as he finally divulged all his secrets. From his heartfelt words, it was clear that he was head over heels in love with her. Although he had only met her for less than a year, Kurt’s feelings could not be kept at bay anymore as he found himself falling deeper for her every day.

“Amelia!” Oscar jolted awake from his nightmare with his entire body drenched in cold sweat. Gingerly, he wiped away the sweat that matted his forehead. Whenever Oscar thought about Amelia’s lifeless body lying on the bed in his dreams, he could feel his chest wrench painfully. It felt like someone was stabbing his heart with a knife.

As Oscar made his way out of the bed, he could feel a pounding headache in his temple. Ever since Amelia and Tony left, he had been having great difficulty falling asleep. Most of the time, Oscar was forced to rely on sleeping pills. Yet, he would still be disturbed by the slightest noise and could not go back to sleep once he was awake.

Oscar grabbed a bottle of aged wine from the shelf and took a large gulp before he strode toward the window.

When he gazed at the luminous scenery outside, Oscar’s gaze darkened. The wine he’d just drunk seemed to leave a bitter taste in his mouth.
