Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 61

Nodding repeatedly, Olivia and Owen hurriedly got on the elevator and went up to the tenth floor.

Upon entering the ward and seeing Amelia lie unconscious on the bed, Olivia was distressed. She walked over quickly, looked at Oscar, and said in a hushed voice, “Oscar, what’s going on? How did Amelia get into a car accident?”

Oscar told them all about it.

“Has the person who ran the red light been caught?” asked Olivia with a long face.

“He’s been taken to the police station. Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll make sure he goes to jail,” assured Oscar, looking grim.

Olivia nodded. Feeling sorry, she looked at Amelia’s belly and said, “I asked her if she was pregnant a few days ago and she actually told me that she’d actually gained some weight. I don’t blame her for keeping it from us. The fact that you’ve been thinking about another woman must have broken her heart. She must be worried that we’ll take the child away from her if the two of you divorce in the future.”

Oscar said nothing.

“Look, Oscar, I just want to remind you that, since Amelia is now pregnant, you should settle down and have a life with her,” Olivia added with special emphasis.

Oscar pulled a long face, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing this, Olivia got a little angry and emphasized, “I’m going to be frank with you, Oscar. Amelia’s baby is our first grandchild. I won’t allow him to grow up without a mother. If you’re unfaithful to her, you won’t be my son anymore.”

“Mom…” Oscar groaned, displeased.

But Olivia just stroked Amelia’s belly in silence.

“Oscar, listen to your mom. I don’t care how you messed around previously, but now that Amelia is pregnant, you need to settle down.”

Oscar was vexed.

Owen walked out of the ward with him and asked, “So what do you think, Oscar?”

“Dad, her pregnancy wasn’t what I’ve expected, so I think—”

“Oscar, don’t even think about it. I was quite dissatisfied with her at first, but she’s been treating us very well the past four years. I won’t allow her to have an abortion,” interrupted Owen as his face clouded over.

Looking at him calmly, Oscar maintained, “Dad, the one I love is Cassie, and she’s coming back to settle down here. I can’t abandon her.”

“That woman abandoned you for her so-called piano, so she might abandon you again for further training in the future. Can you really accept that?” Owen asked.

Pursing his lips, Oscar thought for a moment and said, “Dad, I believe she’ll make a mature choice now.”

“So are you going to get your own wife to abort the baby because of that woman?”

Oscar fell silent.

“Oscar, you’re almost thirty years old. You should be more mature in handling things and not be so self-willed.”

“Dad, I can allow Amelia to give birth to the child. After the child is born, I’ll give her a large sum of money that is enough for the rest of her life,” asserted Oscar after thinking for a while.

“Are you sure this is what you want?” Owen frowned.

Oscar gave a firm nod.

“I respect your decision. You’re a grown-up now, so I believe you can handle your work and personal matters well,” Owen said.

He patted Oscar on the shoulder and added, “Let’s go inside.”

The two of them went back into the ward as if nothing had happened.

After Amelia came round, the first thing that came to her view was the worried look in Olivia’s eyes. Still feeling a little groggy, she asked, “Mom, what are you doing here?”

Olivia checked her temperature to make sure that it was normal. Then flashing her a gentle smile, she asked, “Are you thirsty? Let me pour you a glass of water.”

She proceeded to pour Amelia a glass of water before adding, “Amelia, you had a car accident, but don’t you worry, you and the baby are fine.”

Amelia’s eyes widened as she looked at her in surprise. Olivia then assured her in a gentle voice, “Amelia, we all know that you’re pregnant now. Don’t worry. No one will dare to do anything to your baby as long as I’m here.”

Casting her eyes down, Amelia said with a pale face, “Mom, I’m sorry for lying to you.”

“I know what you’re worried about, but I can promise you that I won’t let anyone hurt your baby,” guaranteed Olivia while patting Amelia on her hand.

Amelia forced a smile while feeling complicated deep down. She had never expected that her pregnancy would be revealed in such a way. It seemed that she could not hide from the inevitable and that her training in Saspiuburg would have to be put on hold as well.

Now that Oscar knew she was pregnant, he might let her give birth to the baby due to the pressure from Olivia. However, Cassie’s involvement would mean that Oscar would probably divorce her. And after the divorce, the Clintons would definitely take the child away from her, which was the last thing she wanted.

She did not want to lose her child along with her marriage.

“Amelia, don’t let your imagination run away with you. Now that you’re pregnant with our first grandchild, I won’t let your kid lose his mother,” Olivia promised.

Coming back to her senses, Amelia shook her head with a smile and replied, “I’m fine, Mom. Don’t worry about me. What happened to the man who caused the accident?”

“He has been taken away by the police. Don’t worry. He broke the traffic rules and ran the red light, so I’ll definitely make sure he gets jailed for at least several years.”

“Mom, half of it is my fault too. He did run the red light, but I was talking on the phone while driving. If I hadn’t done so, I might not have had a car accident. So just let the police do their things. I don’t want the Clintons to interfere,” explained Amelia.
