Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 585

Chapter 585 Men Are Useless

Spencer was a middle-aged man standing at about 5’11 feet tall. He had dark brown skin, and his cloudy eyes indicated that he was a man that had been through countless hardships

With a complicated glance directed at Amelia, Spencer moved his lips, and he strugglingly said, “Thank you, Amelia. It’s been ten years since I last met you. You’re… You’re much prettier than I remembered. Knowing that you’re doing well makes me feel relieved.”

To this, Amelia showed a smile without saying anything.

Spencer got down from the bed and got some chairs for the two as he smiled. “Mr. Clinton, please, have a seat. I’ll be relying on you to take care of my sister. I’ve failed Amelia as her brother for all these years, and I will forever be ashamed of what I’ve done. Now, the responsibility of taking care of her lies in your hands.”

Meanwhile, Oscar sat down impassively.

“Please, just call me Oscar. If Amelia is your family, then being her husband makes me your family too, so calling me Mr. Clinton really is being too formal and unnecessary,” proposed Oscar.

Looking a bit uneasy, Spencer, who didn’t appear to be calculative or dishonest, gave Oscar a very good impression of him.

“No, no, no. You’re the CEO of a large company, while I’m just an average person. It would be rude if I addressed you like that. I may be Amelia’s brother, but after so many years and how I failed her as a brother, I dare not view myself as her brother anymore,” replied Spencer as he touched his head.

Oscar, too, did not insist on this matter anymore after hearing this.

Just like her husband, Amelia paid little attention to this matter as well, for she knew that the Winters family would not be too close with her anymore. As she acknowledged this, she no longer was bothered by how distant or overly polite Spencer sounded.

“Spencer, are you feeling unwell right now?” asked Amelia casually.

“I’m fine during the day, but when it comes to the nighttime, my body hurts so much that not only have I been through countless sleepless nights, but I’ve also lost more than ten kilograms of weight. I would probably be dead by now if I didn’t encounter you. I’ve not been too kind toward you when we were young, and with the fact that we haven’t seen each other in years, I had always thought that you would be the last person who would offer me help.”

In response, Amelia lowered her head and smiled.

“Please don’t get me wrong. I’m just speaking the truth. I really didn’t think that you would save me. I also thought that you wouldn’t even wish to see me again,” explained Spencer nervously.

Amelia still didn’t bother about it and she said, “It’s okay. I know, I get it. You’re my brother after all, so I can’t just watch as you slowly die, right?”

Her words had Spencer lowering his head as he seemingly thought of something that caused him to put on an embarrassed and guilty expression.

Meanwhile, Amelia continued saying, “Don’t worry. The doctor said that your conditions are not as terrible as you thought. As long as you are willing to take the medical procedures accordingly, you will be discharged in no time.”

While Amelia talked, Spencer constantly nodded to her words.

Amelia was relatively much more talkative that day.

“Spencer, I heard from Eva that Evelyn gave birth to a boy and a girl. Are they in school now? Is Evelyn working or taking care of the kids at home? I reckon that it’s quite burdening to raise two children, so Oscar and I talked about this before. He can offer you a job at his company if you don’t mind, but only if you are willing to.”

Hearing the offer from Amelia, Spencer responded to her with a stare that was filled with nothing but complicated emotions.

To that, Amelia acted like she didn’t know what was happening while she smiled. “Spencer, what’s with that look?”

“Amelia, you shouldn’t be too nice to me.”

“But you’re my brother; how can I not be treating you nicely?” said Amelia as she failed to hold back her smile.

“But back then…”

Before Spencer was able to finish his words, Amelia interrupted, “You’re also aware that all those happened a long time ago, right? I hated and despised you for whatever happened in the past, but I came to the decision to forget the past. We’re, after all, a family, and I can’t just sit there doing nothing when I know that you’re hospitalized. I would not be able to forgive myself if I watched as you slowly die.”

Spencer forcefully chuckled hearing this.

Amelia and Oscar then stayed for another half an hour before they got up and left.

Dominic and Melanie personally walked them out. At the same time, Melanie repeatedly glanced at Amelia before lowering her head down again as she tried to say something.
