Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384 Dead Or Alive

Midnight came. It had been hours since Oscar and Derrick went drinking and they were still not back yet. They did not even call. Anxiousness was evident on Amelia’s face as she gripped onto her phone tightly.

Tiffany dialed Derrick’s number, but no one picked up. She was beginning to worry as well.

Amelia asked, “Tiff, did he answer it?”

“Nope. Don’t worry, Amelia. Maybe they suddenly got some stuff to attend to. Derrick called me two hours ago and said they were on their way back, so maybe something happened on the road,” Tiffany said.

Amelia jumped to her feet from the couch. “I’ll go find him.”

“Babe, please stop messing around. You’re blind right now. How are you going to find him?” Tiffany said anxiously.

Amelia froze on the spot.

Tiffany immediately uttered apologetically, “Amelia, I didn’t mean anything by that. I’m just worried about you. Please don’t mind what I said. Anyway, let’s go out and try to find them then.”

Amelia forced out a smile. “No, it’s my fault. I guess I must have forgotten that I’m blind for a second there. Let’s sit down and wait. Maybe they’ve really run into something on the way. It’s pointless for us to worry about nothing.”

Tiffany was still feeling guilty. Before she could say anything, however, Amelia spoke again.

“Tiff, we’re not strangers. So don’t worry about your words. If our relationship can’t stand such honesty, then I don’t really deserve so much help from you.”

Tiffany swallowed back her words after hearing that.

After a while, Kurt opened his mouth too. “Amelia, why don’t I go look for them? I have some connections in Beshya. I’ll ask them to help.”

“There’s no need for that. They’re both grown-ups. I doubt they’d get lost that easily. I’m just overreacting. Kurt, you should go ahead and rest first. Tiff and I will go to bed soon as well.” Amelia lifted her head and gazed at Kurt with her non-seeing eyes.

“Let me stay here with you,” Kurt said.

Amelia hesitated and swallowed back her words. Indeed, she felt she owed Kurt too much. If it were not for Kurt, it would’ve been difficult for her and Tiffany to raise a kid in these two years. After all, one of them was blind while the other was often busy with her scripts. Amelia was well aware of the fact that Kurt had treated her truly well.

“Kurt, thank you. And I’m sorry,” Amelia uttered with a soft voice. I owe him an apology. I’m afraid I could never pay back what he has done for me.

Kurt bit his lip as complicated emotions swirled in his gaze.

Tiffany immediately weighed in. “Have a seat then, Kurt. Amelia just doesn’t want you to be tired.”

With that, Kurt sat down.

As the three of them sat on the couch, the atmosphere soon turned awkward.

Just then, Tiffany’s phone rang abruptly. She looked at it and shouted with excitement, “Amelia, it’s from Derrick!”

“Pick it up now.”

Tiffany answered the call. After a few seconds, the color drained from her face as she choked on her words. “We need to go to the hospital now.”

Amelia started to panic. “What happened? Why are we going to the hospital?”

Tiffany’s hand could not stop trembling. “They… They had a car accident.”

Amelia’s mind went blank instantly.

It wasn’t until they have gotten into the car that Amelia finally regained her sense. She reached out, trying to find Tiffany’s hand, but failed. At that moment, she hated herself for being blind. She felt so useless whenever people around her needed help.

“Tiff, how are they? Did the doctor say how serious it was?” Amelia asked nervously.

“Babe, please calm down first. The nurse only said they had an accident. We’ll find out more once we reach the hospital. Let me give Mr. Jensen a call. He’s a friend of Derrick. With him around, the other doctors and nurses will treat them well.” Tiffany forced out a calm front while comforting Amelia.

“Please call him now then,” Amelia urged.
