Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348 He Flees

Oscar had a hard time coming to terms with what happened to Amelia. On one hand, he felt guilty for agreeing to divorce her that easily. On the other, he hated himself for letting her face her blindness all by herself. He knew Amelia would lose her sight one day, but still, he was so careless as to let her leave.

He could not believe that he let the woman he loved leave when she was feeling all hopeless and helpless. Worse still, she was moving around trying to hide because his family was hunting her down. What have I done? All this happened because of me.

He started doubting everything he had been doing so far. His search for her made her move again and again. Yes, his intention was so that she would return to him, but instead, she was going through so much because of him.

Hence, he started having second thoughts.

This was the first time he reflected on his actions. In the past, he would do whatever his heart wanted, but now, he was not sure anymore.

Now that he started having second guesses, his doubt festered.

“Mr. Clinton, I’ve already seen the nurse out,” Hugo reported back accordingly.

Glancing at him, Oscar asked hesitantly, “Hugo, what do you think about the way I treat Amelia?”

Hearing his question, Hugo was surprised.

“Tell me the truth.”

Hugo thought for a bit before answering, “I was not sure myself at the beginning, but over the past few months, I’ve seen you changed so much because of her. I think you’re really in love with her, else you won’t even do so much just to find her.”

Oscar laughed deridingly. “But do you think this is what she wants? Didn’t she leave just so I won’t ever find her again? Do you think she even wants to see me?”

Hugo was lost. This was not the Oscar he knew. His boss was always confident and daring.

“I don’t know why Mrs. Clinton chose to leave, boss, but I’m certain of one thing—she still loves you.”

“Are you sure?” Oscar did not dare to feed on such hopes.

“Yes, I’m sure,” Hugo reiterated. “Are you okay, Boss?”

Clasping his hands together, Oscar stared outside of the window.

“Should we arrange for a meeting with the director of Principal General Hospital?” Hugo changed the topic.

“Proceed.” Oscar pushed his feelings aside and resumed his usual self again. He was determined on meeting this man to know more about Amelia’s condition.

“I want you to extend an invitation to him in person. Do everything you can to get him here,” Oscar added.

“Yes, Boss,” Hugo replied. “Have some rest first. You need to be recharged and fully rested for the next engagement.”

“I will. You get going. Let me know when he agrees to meet me.”

“Sure.”

“Good. I’ll rest now. You may leave.”

Hugo nodded and left.

When he was gone, Oscar lay in his bed, waiting for sleep to beckon him. He thought he could not sleep, but he did. He dreamed of Amelia. The sight of two dark holes in her eye sockets was ghastly, but he was not afraid. Instead, he felt sorry for her.

In his dream, Amelia reached out to him. “Oscar, I don’t want you to see me in this state. Please stop looking for me. You’re too perfect for me. I’m not good enough for you anymore. I beg of you, just let me go.”

After that, Amelia disappeared from his dream.

“Amelia!” Oscar shook himself awake. He was soaked in sweat from the dream.

Wiping his forehead dry, he gasped for air.

When he checked his phone again, it was already ten in the morning. He had slept for three hours, but it felt like he had only napped for half an hour.

He tried pacing his breath as he massaged his forehead.

“Are you up, Boss?” Hugo’s voice suddenly came from the outside.

“Come in,” Oscar stated, rubbing his temples.
