Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 704

Chapter 704 Brain Tumor

Amelia went back to discuss it with Oscar. She originally planned to go to Norham for the weekend, but Eleanor called and disrupted Amelia’s plan.

“Lia.” Eleanor spoke weakly from the other end of the line.

“Mom, what’s wrong? You don’t sound so well,” Amelia asked, feeling concerned for her mother. “Are you under the weather?”

Eleanor swallowed hard before replying with great difficulty, “I have a very bad headache. Can you come to visit me at Saspiuburg?”

“Have you gone to the doctor?” Amelia asked anxiously as she sensed that her mother’s emotional state was not great.

For a long time, there was no response from the other end of the line.

Amelia clutched the phone in her hand tightly in apprehension. “Mom, are you there?”

After heaving a long sigh, Eleanor replied in a weak voice, “Lia, I’m diagnosed with a brain tumor. It’s malignant. I might die soon.”

The moment Amelia heard that, the phone in her hand almost dropped to the ground.

A worried look flashed across Amelia’s eyes. She forced a smile and said, “Mom, you must be kidding, right? When you were in Tayhaven, you were just fine. How could you have a brain tumor after returning to Saspiuburg after a short while?”

Eleanor smiled faintly. “Lia, I’ve always had headaches, but the ones I had in the past were not as serious. Now that I’m diagnosed with a brain tumor, I’m not that surprised, to be honest. I’ve had no regrets ever since I got to reunite with you. It’s just that I can’t take care of your child anymore. I still long to see you more.”

The anxiety in Amelia surged. “Mom, I’m going to book flight tickets. You’ll be fine.”

After hanging up the phone, Amelia immediately went to book her flight ticket online.

When Oscar left the study and entered the bedroom, he saw Amelia frowning and the worried look she wore.

He walked over to her and asked in a gentle tone, “Amelia, what’s wrong?”

Amelia grabbed his hand. “I need to go to Saspiuburg. Mom called me just now, saying that she’s sick and she’s in the hospital right now. I need to go there to see her.”

“I’ll accompany you. Don’t reject me. Otherwise, I won’t let you go alone.” He spoke determinedly, not giving her an option.

Amelia’s lips curled into a smile. “I also booked your ticket. Our family of three will go together. If Mom’s brain tumor is truly malignant, I plan to bring her to Tayhaven for treatment. My mom and I have just reunited. I don’t want anything to happen to her again.”

Oscar planted a kiss on her forehead. “Don’t worry. She still has a good daughter like you to take care of her. She will be fine.”

Amelia bobbed her head.

In the afternoon, Amelia and Oscar brought Anthony to the airport, and Olivia and Owen also hurried to the airport to see them off.

“Amelia, take good care of my precious grandson in Saspiuburg. Perhaps you should leave him to me. Heaven knows how long you’d be gone. I’ll miss him.” Olivia wrapped her arms around Anthony. It was obvious that she was reluctant to part with him.

Amelia apologized, “Mom, I’m sorry. My mom has a brain tumor, and the doctor says that it’s malignant. I hope I can bring Tony over to let her see him. Ever since Tony was born, my mom rarely had the chance to play with him. She also misses her grandson.”

As an understanding person, Olivia nodded upon hearing the reason.

She pecked the little boy on his face and said, “Tony, give me a call every day after you get to Saspiuburg, all right? Eat well and drink well. Don’t starve yourself.”

Anthony also kissed Olivia’s cheek in return. “Grandma, I’ll miss you. Once I get to Saspiuburg, I’ll call you every day. You have to miss me too.”

Olivia’s heart was instantly filled with delight when she heard those words.

The grandmother-grandson duo continued to hug each other for a while before Olivia passed Anthony to Amelia. “Amelia, send your mother my regards. Let her recuperate well, and ask her not to overthink,” Olivia said.

Amelia nodded in response. Just then, the boarding announcement sounded. Amelia looked at Olivia and reassured, “Mom, Oscar and I will go through the security check first. Once we arrive in Saspiuburg, I’ll ask Tony to give you a call and chat with you.”

Olivia waved her hand. “Get going. Stay safe, and feed my grandson well.”
