Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 659

Chapter 659 Explanation

After comforting Amelia and Tony, Oscar headed to the study with Hugo.

“Have you gotten someone to check on those two car plate numbers?” Oscar asked with his hands behind his back.

“Yes, Boss. We’ve already checked. However, both cars belong to normal families, and both families have already made a police report. As such, it doesn’t seem like those cars would give us any clues on who the culprit is,” Hugo replied, bowing slightly. After pausing for a moment, the man continued, “I’m so sorry that Anthony had to undergo such a shock because of my carelessness.”

“It’s not your fault. You and Ashton have done a good job. It’s all because of you that Tony didn’t get hurt. When we get back, I’ll reward both of you handsomely. Also, regarding the injury on Ashton’s arm, what did the doctor say?” Oscar asked in concern, showing care for his subordinates.

“I called him just now. He said that it’s nothing serious and that he’ll recover in a few days.”

“Give him a few days off and ask him to rest well at home.”

“Yes, Boss. I will let him know.”

Oscar walked to the window, and as he gazed at the scenery outside that was only illuminated by the moonlight, his eyes darkened.

“Get Kurt to help you investigate who planned the attack. Start from June and Jennifer,” Oscar ordered.

“Yes, Boss. I’ll let Kurt know when I get back.”

“All right. You may go now.”

After a moment of hesitation, Hugo said, “Boss, when I was escaping with Mr. Anthony just now, I realized that he’s unusually brave and calm. Besides, he’s also extremely intelligent. If not for his reminder, perhaps Ashton and I wouldn’t have been able to escape from those men that easily. You should consider letting Mr. Anthony take an IQ test. It’s really difficult for me to treat him like a normal three-year-old kid.”

“There’s no need for that. He’s just my son with Amelia, so you just need to treat him with utmost loyalty like how you treat me. As for whether he’s interested in taking over the organization in the future, I’ll leave it to him to decide. I wouldn’t force him to do that if he’s not interested,” Oscar said.

Hugo lowered his head and replied, “Understood, Boss. I’ll make a move first then.”

Oscar nodded in response.

After Hugo left, Oscar continued standing beside the window for a while before returning to the bedroom. However, before he reached the bed, he could already hear Amelia talking in her sleep. “Tony, Tony! No, don’t touch my son! He’s just a child. Please don’t!” she said in a trembling voice.

Oscar walked over and sat by the bed before smoothing out the crease between the woman’s brows. “Don’t worry. I’ll never let anyone touch Tony. As long as I’m here, I’ll protect both of you,” the man said gently.

Amelia’s frown gradually disappeared as she rubbed her forehead against the man’s hand and continued sleeping soundly.

After changing into his pajamas, Oscar headed to the bathroom to take a shower. Then, he lay on the bed and hugged his wife and son.

The next morning, Amelia rang her office to inform them that she had to stay home that day to take care of her son as he was slightly traumatized by the attack the previous day.

After requesting the day off, the woman said to her husband, “Oscar, I feel like quitting my job. Tony is still so young. I’m worried that he’ll feel lonely if neither of us has time for him.”

Oscar knew that that was just an excuse the woman had made up and that she was still feeling unsettled by the fact that Tony was almost taken away by those men the day before.

The man nodded and replied, “If you don’t want to work, you can quit your job anytime. It’s all right.”

Carrying Tony in her arms, Amelia stroked her son’s hair gently. She had already made up her mind to resign as she was indeed terrified when she saw how disheveled the boy looked the previous night. She was worried that if she was not by his side, she would be the last one to know if something really happened to him.

Tony got up from his mother’s arms, saying, “Mommy, are you going to stop working?”

“Yup. Are you happy that Mommy will have time to accompany you every day from now onward?”

“I don’t want that,” Tony rejected Amelia’s suggestion resolutely.

Amelia froze when she heard that.

“Tony, why? Don’t you like it that Mommy will have more time to spend with you?”

With a serious expression on his face, the boy replied, “Mommy, there’s no need for you to quit your job just to accompany me. You look so happy whenever you talk to Big Meanie about work every night. I don’t want you to give up on your career just because of me. You will be sad if you do that. It would be just like before when you couldn’t see and kept pretending that you were happy. Tony doesn’t like seeing Mommy like that.”

Amelia was shocked by her son’s words. She did not expect that the boy, who was merely a toddler, could sense that she was pretending to be happy.

“Tony, do you really not want Mommy to quit my job and spend more time with you?”

“No need. Tony is a little man now. I can protect myself. I also want to grow up to be as powerful as Ultraman so that I can protect Mommy and not let anyone harm you.”

“That’s my good boy.”

Due to Anthony’s insistence, Amelia dropped the idea of resigning and continued working as a designer. She even rose to fame because of her perseverance, with her talent in design being widely recognized.

But of course, that would only happen further into the future.
