Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 623

Chapter 623 Unappreciated Affection

After Dominic fell fast asleep, Amelia and Oscar purposely went to the hospital, wanting to ask James about Spencer’s condition. Who knew that they would stumble upon him being forcefully kissed by a woman, none other than Eva, in his own office.

Amelia was shocked to the core by the unexpected sighting, popping her eyes wide open.

It was beyond what she could’ve ever imagined!

Oscar let out a cough that jolted James out of the moment, and the latter quickly pushed Eva away. He immediately tried to explain the situation. “Oscar, it’s not what you think it is. She and I are not in a relationship whatsoever. This woman had gone mad and literally threw herself on me.”

Eva, on the other hand, appeared unruffled. “Hey, Amelia. When did you and Oscar get here?” she asked with a smug smile.

“We just got here, actually. I wasn’t expecting to see such a fiery scene, though,” Amelia teased.

Eva shrugged and there was a rare tinge of meekness in the way she looked at the man she had just kissed.

“James, since both Amelia and Oscar saw us kiss, be a responsible man and marry me, will you? I don’t know what else you could do other than that.” Eva’s assertiveness clouded the meekness she had.

However, James repelled himself away from her as if she was some sort of contagious disease and diverted the topic she was on. “Oscar, Amelia, I believe you are here to have more understanding about Spencer’s current condition, right?”

Eva wanted to sit next to James, but the latter was eager in keeping her at a distance. “Stay right where you are!” He almost screamed.

Seeing that James resisted her, a trace of sadness clouded her eyes. Despite that, she shrugged her shoulders and acted as if she wasn’t at all affected.

“James, aren’t you too shy for a guy?” She tried to dissipate the awkwardness.

James was absolutely speechless. He genuinely didn’t like a woman too brazen and not ladylike. Although he was a foreigner, when it came to his partner of choice, he preferred a lady who was gentle and temperate in mannerisms. Eva’s androgyny and tomboy behavior, not forgetting how she forced herself onto him, wasn’t something he was comfortable with.

“Amelia, Spencer is in a stable condition. He shall undergo the operation when my mentor gets in next week. Bear in mind that a certain level of risk is to be expected from cirrhosis operations. The success rate is going to be at seventy percent tops even if my mentor and I worked together as Spencer was being injected with some sort of medicine that worsened his cirrhosis. If that didn’t happen, I could be almost certain that the operation was going to be successful.” James put on a grim look and gave his thought on the matter.

“I believe you,” Amelia responded. “Also, I was wondering if Spencer’s ailment would change his temperament drastically?”

“Yes. Not only will he lose weight day by day, but the excruciating pain he has to go through will also be so bad that even painkillers won’t help. Anyone’s temperament would be affected if they were going through what Spencer was in. By the way, I heard that Mr. Winters was beaten up. I’ll talk to Spencer regarding that as I believe he would somehow listen to a doctor.”

“Thank you, James.” Amelia expressed her gratitude.

“You’re most welcome.”

Eva was lost in their conversation. “What do you mean by being beaten up? Spencer hit Uncle Dominic? When was this? How come I knew nothing about it?”

Amelia then gave Eva a rough picture of the incident.

Slam! Eva smashed her hand onto the table and stood up in fury. “How dare Spencer do such a thing! Uncle Dominic emptied his every asset to pay for Spencer’s medical fees, and Spencer repaid him by hitting him? This is unacceptable! I have to teach him a lesson or he would assume that he can get away with such atrocity.”

Eva was someone who was extremely fast in realizing her actions, and by the time she finished her sentence, she was already at the door.

“Stop, Eva!” Amelia called out to her, and Eva did come to a halt.

“Yes, Amelia?” She was confused, though.

“Look. You’re going to give him a beating, and my Mom is going to stop you. Are you planning to beat her up too?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Do I look like that kind of person?” Eva frowned.

“Since you’re not going to get her out of your way, how are you going to beat Spencer?”

A moment of silence ensued before Eva came up with another plan. “How about I sneak into his ward in the middle of the night and do what needs to be done?”

“And how are you going to explain the situation if complications arose in the process?” Amelia threw her another question.

“Em…” Eva didn’t have a solution for that and sat herself back down on the chair.

Amelia turned toward James, and again, thanked him for all he had done for Spencer thus far.

James nodded.

Eva then skipped her way and plunk herself in front of the doctor. “James, I’m counting on you for my happiness in the future too.” She gave a cheeky grin.

“Eva, please, stay away from me.” James bounced backward as he muttered those words.
