Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 555

Chapter 555 Scheming Woman

Once they were all in the ward, Tiffany glanced at the side of the bed and saw Finnick feeding apple slices to Kate. The older woman looked quite healthy. Nothing about her appearance suggested that there was anything wrong with her. That made Tiffany let out a sigh of relief.

After all, it was better if Kate pretended to be sick than if she actually was sick. If anything happened to Kate, Tiffany’s relationship with Derrick would become far more difficult to deal with.

“Derrick told me you fainted yesterday, Mrs. Hisson. That’s why I’ve specially bought these supplements. How are you feeling right now?” Tiffany delivered the presents she bought to the older woman and spoke niceties.

Kate swept her gaze past Tiffany before looking at Oscar and Amelia. She asked softly, “Why have you two come here?”

Amelia delivered her gift to the bodyguard in the room and spoke. “I heard from Tiff that you stayed at the hospital because you fainted, Mrs. Hisson. Oscar is her godbrother, and I’m her best friend. Since you fainted because of her, we thought we should visit you and ask you to forgive her this one time. She’s really sincere in apologizing.”

Kate put up a fake smile. “She told you two that I fainted?”

Amelia smiled. “Don’t misunderstand anything, Mrs. Hisson. When Tiff heard you went into the hospital yesterday, she was so worried that she almost cried. She truly realized how rash she was being. Last night, she drove to my place and asked me what kind of things a patient should eat to recover quicker. She even said she wanted to cook something for you personally. I see can see how worried she was and how she likes you, Mrs. Hisson.”

Kate’s smile became a little more genuine as she turned to her husband. “The Clintons’ son is here with his wife, Finnick. You should welcome them as the host.”

Finnick asked the bodyguard to bring more chairs into the room. Kate continued to smile. “Take a seat, you two. I’m glad to see both of you here.”

Light flashed across Amelia’s eyes as she glanced at the two chairs the bodyguard had brought. Even though Oscar and I are here, she still doesn’t give any respect to Tiffany. She knows the three of us are here, yet the bodyguard only brought two chairs. She’s clearly not giving Tiffany even a shred of respect.

Tony spoke up. “There are four of us here, but you only ask someone to bring two chairs inside, pretty Mrs. Hisson. Are you so old that you can’t count?”

Kate’s expression froze.

Amelia shot a glance at him. “What did I tell you before we came in, Tony?”

Tony pouted before changing his expression completely. He put on the sweetest smile and said, “You’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen, Mrs. Hisson. You’re as beautiful as Mr. Pretty. Mommy told me you’re Mr. Pretty’s mommy. No wonder you’re so beautiful. I think if you smile brighter, you’ll be even more beautiful.”

Kate couldn’t help but laugh as she stared at him.

“Can I call you Amelia? When I first went to Beshya and met you, the child in your arms was still a baby. I can’t believe how fast time flies. Not only does he look so delicate, but, more importantly, he also knows how to flatter someone. Come, let me take a better look at him.” It would appear her mood was lifted.

Amelia put Tony down and said, “Remember to say nice things, okay, Tony?”

Tony nodded and approached Kate.

She stared at him in detail. He looked white, tender, and as delicate as a doll. Just looking at him gave her joy.

“What’s your name, little boy?”

“My nickname is Tony, and my full name is Anthony Clinton.”

“Tony? That sounds like a pretty good name. Is the jade pendant I’ve been wearing on you right now, Finnick? Hand it to me. I have to give a gift to such a cute child.”

Finnick handed her the moderately small but definitely flawless jade pendant before she gave it to Tony. “I’ve been wearing this to keep myself safe, Tony. I’m giving it to you today because I hope it can protect you, too.”

Tony turned to look at Amelia.

Amelia wanted to say something, but Kate was quicker. “This child and I have a special connection. That’s why I want to give this jade pendant to him. I know the Clintons are rich enough that they can afford one just like this, but I want to show my sincerity.”

Amelia had no choice but to swallow the words she wanted to say. “What do you say when someone gives you something, Tony?”
