Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 562

Chapter 562 Stop Feeling Guilty

Once Kurt’s operation was successful, he was declared to be out of danger before being directly wheeled to a high-end, private ward.

Oscar had Jolin stay behind to look after Kurt while he went home with Amelia and Tony.

Upon returning to the condominium, he carried his son, who was already fast asleep, to bed. Afterward, he went downstairs and added honey to a cup of warm water for Amelia. “Here, take this to soothe your throat.”

She received the glass from him and took a sip. “Too many things are happening all at once in the past few days. I’m feeling quite overwhelmed.”

He patted her head and said, “Finish this and go upstairs for a nice, warm shower. Then, get some sleep. Don’t think too much.”

Amelia gave him a glance and nodded.

The two of them showered in different bathrooms. Once they were done, he tucked her in and went to make a call in the study.

“Jasper, bring a few men with you to Anglandur to look for Jean’s corpse. By hook or by crook, you have to bring her body back. Then, get to the bottom of this matter and find out if the failure of their mission was caused by an intentional or accidental mistake,” Oscar ordered coldly.

“Yes, Boss.”

After he finished giving his instructions and ended the call, he held his phone and looked outside the window. His gaze was deep and impenetrable like the ocean. No one could tell what was on his mind.

Oscar spent a long time in his study before going back to the bedroom. The moment he saw Amelia’s and Tony’s innocent sleeping faces, the frustration within him vanished into thin air.

A smile appeared on his face as he walked toward the bed and lay down. Then, he hugged them close in his arms.

It was a dreamless night.

The next morning, Oscar and Amelia were getting ready to visit Kurt at the hospital when Jolin called to tell them that Kurt was missing. That took them by surprise.

As soon as the call ended, Amelia said anxiously, “How could an adult disappear when he’s still injured and unconscious?”

Oscar only looked at her silently.

Amelia snapped back to reality and realized that she had overreacted earlier.

She tried to explain herself. “Oscar… I didn’t mean it that way. I just—”

His gaze darkened as he replied, “I understand.”

She sighed inwardly. It seems like my concern for Kurt will become a hurdle between us.

Just when Amelia wondered where Kurt could have gone, the doorbell rang.

She went to answer the door and saw the man in question standing outside. Immediately, she pulled him inside and exclaimed, “Kurt, why did you run out of the hospital when you’re hurt? What if your wound opens up again? Come on, let’s go back to the hospital now! Stop fooling around! You’re an adult!”

The solemn expression on Kurt’s face softened up a little after he heard her concern toward him.

“I’m fine, Amelia. I have to tell Boss something,” he said patiently.

Lifting her head, she had no choice but to give in when she was how determined he looked.

She brought him into the house. “Okay. You should come in first.”

Kurt walked toward Oscar and unexpectedly got on his knees while keeping his back straight. “Boss, it’s completely my fault that the mission in Anglandur failed and that Jean died. I’m willing to accept all punishment. This has nothing to do with Hugo, so please spare him. This happened because of me.”

Oscar looked at Kurt’s chest, where blood was seeping slowly, and said in a deep voice, “Go back to the hospital first. I’ve already sent some men to look into the matter in Anglandur and will find out who is at fault. If it’s your fault, I won’t spare you for the sake of Amelia.”

Kurt pursed his lips, and a hint of anguish flashed across his eyes.

He put both his hands on his head and said guiltily, “Jean’s dead because she took the bullet for me. If I had remained focused, she wouldn’t have died. We’ve been colleagues for so many years, yet I let her die in front of me. I’m responsible for her death! Boss, please kill me.”

That night was a nightmare that he refused to recall in his lifetime. He had watched as Jean took the bullet for him, yet he could not even bring her body back because he was busy running for his life, causing her to die in another country and become a wandering soul.

Jean’s death became the biggest regret in his life. He did not think that there was any way for him to forgive himself.

“Get up and go back to the hospital now. You know my temper. Don’t make me repeat myself,” Oscar said with a grim expression as he looked at Kurt.

Yet, Kurt continued to kneel on the ground.

Oscar narrowed his eyes, and a menacing gleam flashed across his eyes.

The second he was about to blow his top, a glass of lemonade appeared in front of his eyes. He looked up and saw it was from Amelia.
