Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490 A Sensible Son

Amelia opened the door for Noah and Isabella when they arrived. Although she was shocked to see them, she still invited them in courteously.

A hint of hatred flashed across Isabella’s eyes when she saw Anthony lying in bed. I hope that kid never wakes up! Amelia would be so devastated, and I can finally have Oscar all to myself.

“Oscar.” Isabella walked toward Oscar and asked in a concerned tone, “How are you doing?”

Oscar furrowed his brows as he looked at her with detest. “Why are you guys here?”

“I heard something happened to Tony. That’s why I brought my brother along to visit. Is he all right?” Isabella then pretended to be concerned and walked toward Anthony. “When I was on the way here, Mrs. Clinton told me Tony is suffering from food poisoning. Not only that, she said it’s because of the yogurt I asked Noah to buy. I’m so sorry. Back then, when I wanted to drink it, Stephanie told me to give it to the maid’s kid instead. Since Stephanie had already said so, what else could I have done? So, I asked Noah to give it to the kid standing by the tree instead. Anyway, what I want to say is that I didn’t do anything to the yogurt. I mean, I have no reason to do so.” Isabella explained.

After that, she solemnly bowed facing Oscar, and apologized, “Oscar I didn’t know Tony would end up drinking the yogurt. Obviously, I didn’t have any intention of causing harm to anybody. That being said, you can blame me if you want because this wouldn’t have happened if I never said I wanted some yogurt.”

Oscar stared coldly at her. “Are you done?”

Isabella straightened her body and looked at Oscar with her puppy eyes. “Oscar, can’t you forgive me?”

“Buzz off! I suggest the two of you stay out of my sight while I’m still pissed off. Otherwise, there’s no guarantee what I might do to you.”

Isabella instantly burst into a flood of tears. “Oscar, I really didn’t do this on purpose. I had no idea that the yogurt would cause food poisoning. Mrs. Clinton told me this happened to Tony because the food he ate that night reacted badly with the yogurt. Please forgive me! I didn’t plan for any of this to happen.”

Oscar’s frown deepened upon hearing that.

Just then, Amelia stepped in and stood in between Oscar and Isabella. She looked at Isabella’s teary face indifferently and urged, “We can talk about it when Tony has recovered, Ms. Walker. Others might think Oscar is purposely making life difficult for you if you keep crying.”

Upon seeing Amelia’s emotionless facial expression, raw hatred surged within Isabella. Perhaps she didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of Amelia, she quickly wiped the tears off her face. “Ms. Winters, I’d like to apologize to you as well. I didn’t know the yogurt that I brought would end up causing a series of unfortunate events. I’m not a cruel person who would cause harm to children. Besides, I didn’t know why Tony would even drink something that wasn’t his in the first place.” What Isabella was trying to imply was that Anthony had snatched the yogurt from the kid and drank it.

Upon her words, Amelia’s gaze grew cold. “Ms. Walker, are you trying to say that my son is so ill-mannered that he’d snatched the yogurt from the maid’s son?”

A contemptuous grin appeared on Isabella’s face. However, before she could say anything in response, Noah pulled her back and stood in front of her.

With a gentle gaze, Noah looked at Amelia and apologized, “I’m so sorry if my sister has offended you, Ms. Winters. That’s not what she meant. In fact, she felt very guilty when we were on our way here. She’d even said Tony wouldn’t be how he is now if it wasn’t for her craving for yogurt. Although we never did anything to the yogurt, it doesn’t change the fact that Tony is hospitalized because of it. We’re very sorry for what happened. I hope you can find it in yourself to forgive us. Since I’ve already been with Stephanie for almost two years now, I really don’t wish for this to be an issue in our relationship. Will you forgive me?”

Upon seeing how sincere Noah seemed to be, Amelia couldn’t bear to speak negatively. He’s so different from his sister! Compared to her, he’s so much more civilized and polite. He seems like a perfect gentleman.

“Mr. Walker, if everything happened because of the other things Tony ate, then I have no reason to blame you. I’d be grateful if you could apologize to Tony when he wakes up,” Amelia said.

“Please, just call me Noah, Ms. Winters. After all, we’ll be a family in the future. Once I’m married to Stephanie, Oscar would be my brother-in-law, and you’d be my sister-in-law.” Noah was gentle and polite with his words.

Upon seeing that, Amelia’s impression of him had improved. At least he’s not as annoying as Isabella.

Right then, Anthony regained his consciousness and complained about his itchy arms.

Amelia rushed toward him and rowed up his sleeves. To her dismay, she saw a red patch on his arm. She then anxiously called out, “Oscar, go get the doctor! There’s a red patch on Tony’s arm. I’ll check his body.”
