Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 355

Chapter 355 Head Over Heels

Seeing that Amelia Hutton was about to leave after the meal, Tiffany asked, “Aren’t you going to stay around for a bit?”

“I have to go to the hospital with my friend. She was discharged a few days ago, but for some reason, she still can’t speak. We need to get some answers from the doctor,” Amelia Hutton answered.

Tiffany then cast a glance at the mute girl and asked Amelia Hutton, “Oh, right. What’s your friend’s name? This isn’t the same friend of yours I’ve seen the other day, right?”

“She’s another friend of mine. Her name is Michelle Yates. She’s from Saspiuburg as well. The person you’ve seen that day is busy at work at the moment.”

Tiffany reached out her hand toward Michelle for a handshake, and the latter responded accordingly.

“Nice to meet you, Michelle. Sorry for not greeting you earlier. Don’t hesitate to visit more often.” Tiffany smiled.

Michelle merely flashed her a smile in response.

Amelia Hutton chimed in suddenly, “In that case, Tiffany, I’ll be heading to the hospital with Michelle now.” Then, she turned toward Amelia Winters and said, “Amy, I shall make a move then. I’ll come over for a meal again soon! If that’s okay with you.”

“Of course that’s okay,” Amelia Winters answered.

Amelia Hutton and Michelle left the apartment afterward and waited for the elevator. Despite being claimed to have lost her voice due to surgery, Michelle suddenly voiced out, “Amelia, what’s your intention behind getting close to the girl that resembles you?”

Amelia Hutton flashed a smile as she watched the elevator approaching. “Michelle, do you remember anything about a sister of mine who was abducted when she was only five?”

Michelle gaped at her in disbelief. “Are you saying that she could be your sister?”

When the elevator reached their floor, Amelia Hutton said in a low voice, “Let’s go inside.”

After they had both gotten in, Amelia Hutton continued, “Because of the uncanny resemblance, I think she could be. Mom has always felt bad about what happened—so bad that she has fallen sick because of it. Every day, she would flip through the old photos she had of her. Hence, I think if I can bring her home, Mom’s condition might improve.”

However, Michelle was skeptical of such a coincidence. How could it be? Such an occurrence could only happen in scripted dramas!

“Amelia, that sounds ridiculous.” Michelle refused to believe.

“It could be fate! Mom has been missing her badly for so many years. She would be over the moon if I could really reunite them.” Amelia Hutton’s lips curled into a smile at that thought.

“But aren’t you worried that Mrs. Hutton might end up loving your sister more? You’ve always been the apple of her eye. If another daughter of hers was to appear out of nowhere, aren’t you afraid that you’ll be neglected of her motherly love?”

Upon that, Amelia Hutton fell silent.

Michelle pondered for a moment before continuing with a wicked tone, “Amelia, it’s not that I don’t wish for you to find your long-lost sister. But you’ve seen it with your own eyes as well—she’s blind. She has a son, yet her husband wasn’t there. That means she could be a divorcee. Considering the status of the Hutton family in Saspiuburg, do you think it’s a good idea to acknowledge a blind divorcee? Your family would be the joke of the town among the upper-class society.”

Amelia Hutton then lifted her finger off the button in the elevator. When the elevator doors opened, she stepped out into the empty corridor silently.

Michelle wasn’t sure of Amelia Hutton’s take on what she had said. So she quickly went after her and asked, “Amelia, are you angry?”

Her friend shot her a cold gaze and said sternly, “Michelle, forget everything I’ve just told you in the elevator. If she’s really my sister, my family would still welcome her with open arms even if she’s crippled. Although I care about my reputation, I love my family more. And despite being a successful businesswoman, my mom loves her children with all her heart. That’s why she has fallen sick as a result of her unfaltering love for my sister. So I’ve taken offense to your words. I’d like for you to apologize now.”

Michelle had a grim expression after Amelia stated her stance. “Amelia, I said all that because I have your best interests at heart.”

“Oh, please drop the act. I’ve known you for a while now, Michelle. Just like me, you’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing. So I know what you meant. You don’t have to fake a ladylike image in front of me. Go on, apologize to me now.”

Michelle was infuriated upon hearing that. “Amelia, what did you just say?”

“Not only you’re a party animal, but you hop from a man to another like they mean nothing! And you do all that just for the thrill. Just drop your act already, Michelle. I’m still waiting for your apology,” Amelia Hutton folded her arms and demanded.

Hearing that, Michelle became furious. She stomped her foot and fumed, “You’re so unreasonable, Amelia. Go on and play nice all you want. Let’s see if any good will come out of it. I’m leaving.”
