Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 608

Chapter 608 Crushed By Guilt

After going down the stairs with Eleanor, Amelia grabbed her hand and whispered, “Stop it, Mom! Let’s just go back, okay? Dad is really mad this time!”

Eleanor brushed her arm off. “You head on back.”

“Mom, I’m begging you… We’ve been together for almost thirty years! Are you seriously going to choose Amelia Winters over me?” Amelia pleaded as she followed beside her.

Eleanor paused in her tracks for a brief moment before carrying on.

Infuriated, Amelia shouted angrily, “Mom, must you make me hate Amelia Winters?”

Eleanor stopped in her tracks this time, much to Amelia’s relief.

She then grabbed Eleanor’s hand and said, “Come on, let’s head back for now.”

Eleanor gave Amelia a conflicted look and squeezed her hand as she said, “Amelia, I love you the most, and I believe you understand me best in this family. I know you’re not like your autocratic father. You’ll support me no matter what I do, right?

“I can support your decision on everything else, but not this one. You can either come back with me, or I will get in between Amelia Winters and Oscar. The choice is up to you.”

Eleanor simply slapped her hard across the face in response.

Amelia rubbed her cheek in pain as she glared at her with tears in her eyes.

“I can’t believe you hit me again, Mom! Fine! I see how it is! You only want that other daughter of yours, right? Well, guess what? You’re not my mom anymore! I’m done with you!” she cried out before running off.

A glint of guilt appeared in Eleanor’s eyes when she saw Amelia running away. She held up her hand and attempted to call out to her, but the words were stuck in her throat.

Eleanor let out a huge sigh as she watched Amelia disappear into the distance. She then quickly walked out of the neighborhood and took a cab straight to the hospital.

Dominic and Melanie were surprised to see her show up at the ward. “Excuse me, madam. Who are you?” Dominic asked after a brief pause.

“Hello, you two must be Lia’s adoptive parents. I’m her biological mother, and I’ve been searching for her for over twenty years. I happened to bump into her in Beshya a while back, and I was glad to see that she has been raised incredibly well. I came here today to properly express my gratitude to the both of you.”

Dominic and Melanie exchanged shocked glances upon hearing that.

“You’re Mrs. Hutton?” Dominic asked after regaining his composure.

A hint of confusion appeared in Eleanor’s eyes. “You’ve heard of me?”

Noticing that Dominic was starting to panic, Eleanor continued, “I never mentioned anything about my husband’s last name, so why did you call me ‘Mrs. Hutton?’“

Dominic simply lowered his gaze as he tried to come up with something to say.

“Mind answering my question, Mr. Winters?” Eleanor pressed on.

Dominic looked up at her as he replied, “Please don’t get the wrong idea, Mrs. Hutton. You see, your husband came by some time ago. He told me about his relationship with my daughter, and he also said you’re her biological mother. That’s how I figured out that you’re his wife.”

The look in Eleanor’s eyes turned gloomy instantly.

“My husband was here?”

“Yes.”

“Did he mention anything else?”

“He praised us for raising Amelia well because of how polite and gentle she is. He also told us how he had thought about reuniting with Amelia, but couldn’t bring himself to separate us from her.” Dominic then started wiping his tears as he continued in a shaky voice, “Mrs. Hutton, please don’t take our daughter away! We may not be related by blood, but we have always loved her like our own! Please don’t take her from us!”

Eleanor had a conflicted look on her face as she stared at him in silence.
