Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 567

Chapter 567 You Are Inhumane

Oscar followed Amelia into the kitchen before looping his arms around her waist from behind. While resting his chin on her shoulder, he asked, “Amelia, are you in a bad mood?”

Amelia squeezed out some dish soap to wash the dining utensils. “Why do you say so?” she asked smilingly.

“Intuition.”

Amelia smiled wordlessly but didn’t stop washing the dishes.

After cleaning all the plates, she turned to stand on her toes and kissed him on the lips. “Don’t overthink this. Let’s take a nap in the room later.”

Right after she wrenched herself free of his grasp, she got pulled back into his arms before she could walk any further.

“Amelia, we’re a married couple. Although the past few days I did use some harsh language, and we did argue a little, I’ve apologized to you. I’m no longer angry at you. You should speak your mind instead of keeping it to yourself. Otherwise, it’s going to make me feel uncomfortable,” Oscar said while resting his chin on the top of her head.

Amelia snuggled against his chest before directing her question back at him. “Are you being entirely honest with me, though?”

Hearing that, Oscar cast his gaze downward.

“Did someone gossip to you?” he questioned after licking her earlobe.

“Someone saw you at the gastroenterology department, and Julian was accompanying you. Why did you lie to me?” Amelia asked in dejection. “Why did you lie to me when you’re the one who’s feeling unwell?”

Oscar raised her chin and stared into her eyes.

“Tell me. Who tipped you off?” he asked in a quiet voice.

Amelia fell silent for a moment before saying, “Oscar, I’m not trying to blame you for lying to me. It’s just that you would rather get Julian to accompany you just so you could keep me in the dark. Am I so untrustworthy?”

Oscar looked down and locked eyes with her. After a moment, he heaved a soft sigh and said, “I’m sorry. I just didn’t want you to worry about me.”

Amelia chuckled ruefully as she freed herself from his arms. There was a tinge of melancholy to her voice.

“Oscar, you keep me in the dark about everything. I only got to know that you went to the hospital from someone else. Tell me. Do you no longer trust me?” she asked in a low voice with her against him.

Oscar stared at her longingly and then reached out to forcefully pull her into his embrace. After that, he led her out of the kitchen.

They settled down on the sofa, and he had Amelia sit on his lap while he wrapped his arms around her waist. “Amelia, stop moving around. You know men have a hard time reining in their desires. I might just have sex with you on the sofa if I can’t resist it,” he whispered.

Amelia glanced at him and ceased moving about, for she could already feel the movement underneath her.

“Tell me who tipped you off,” Oscar repeated himself.

Amelia gazed at him before surrendering. “It’s a call from an unknown number. I picked up, and the caller’s voice was deliberately altered. I was told that you went to the hospital with Julian, and you had a gastrointestinal cleansing. The caller hung up without saying anything else.”

Oscar mulled over the situation while keeping his gaze low.

“This means I was stalked,” Oscar said nonchalantly. The caller called Amelia with an unknown number and altered his voice. It’s obvious he’s trying to sow discord into my relationship with Amelia. Could this person also be the culprit who drugged me?

“Oscar, what are you thinking about?” Amelia touched his cheek. “Are you worried that the caller was trying to sow discord into our relationship?”

Oscar grabbed her hand before intertwining his fingers with hers. “Amelia, I didn’t tell you I went to the hospital because I didn’t want you to worry about me. I’m your man, so I wish for your constant happiness.”

“But Oscar, you also said I’m your woman, which is why I want to share everything with you, including your burdens. I don’t want to only hear things about you through others. I’ll only end up being the fool who knows about things last after everyone else,” Amelia stated while staring into Oscar’s eyes with an unwavering gaze.

Oscar could only relent and give her a summary of how he was drugged.

Amelia leaped up from the sofa to touch him all over his body while asking anxiously, “You were drugged? What did the doctor say? Was it serious? This won’t do. We have to go to the hospital right away. I can’t let anything happen to you.”

Oscar pulled her back into his embrace before consoling her in a low voice, “I’m fine. As soon as I had a gastrointestinal cleansing, the remaining drugs in my body were also washed out. Don’t worry. I’m just a little drowsy. You should be a little more at ease. I’ll find out who did this to me as soon as possible. You have nothing to fear. Throughout my career in business, I’ve had people who revered me, resented me, as well as tried to topple me. However, it will take a lot more to defeat me.”

Amelia accompanied Oscar upstairs and pressed him down on the bed. She then poured him some warm water. “Have some water while I go get your pajamas. Why don’t you go get showered? No, you just got a gastrointestinal cleansing. It’ll be bad if you catch a cold after a shower.”

Amelia fetched him his pajamas deftly and had him put them on before going to bed.

Oscar felt a sense of warmth in his heart while watching her busy herself like a perfect wife and mother.

No matter what he had been through in the outside world, it was bliss to have someone at home care for him.

He stood up and walked over to hug Amelia before whispering, “Amelia, you should stop. I merely went through a gastrointestinal cleansing, so it’s nothing. I’m healthy and good at dealing with pressure. I’ve made a full recovery after resting for an hour or two. You have nothing to worry about. Seeing you worry makes my heart ache.”

Nonetheless, a worried look lingered on Amelia’s face.

“Oscar, don’t try to act tough in my presence if you’re feeling unwell. I’m your wife. While it is undeniably delightful to enjoy life with you, I’m also willing to bear the burdens with you. I do not wish for you to bear the weight alone. Do you get what I’m saying?” Amelia explained herself sincerely.

Oscar brought her to the bed as he spoke. “Let’s sleep. I’ll cook you a fancy meal tonight.”

Relieved, Amelia lay down in his arms, no longer urging him to change into his pajamas. Instead, she snuggled against his chest, finally regaining her sense of security.

The two of them slept soundly. If Tony hadn’t gone to get them, they could probably sleep until six in the evening.
