Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 705

Chapter 705 Once You Recover

“You got into a car accident? Was it bad? Were there any aftereffects? How did it happen? Let me take a look at you. Gosh, this is so worrying,” she nagged. “Why didn’t you ever tell me about this? My poor child, why do these terrible things always happen to you?”

As she was overwhelmed with emotions, her head started to hurt. Pain and discomfort came crashing like waves, forcing her to clutch her head and slump against the bed.

“Oscar, call the doctor!” exclaimed Amelia in panic.

Oscar was just about to leave the ward when Eleanor spoke up while breathing heavily. “Oscar, there’s no need for that. I’m fine.”

Without a word, Oscar returned obediently.

After the pain subsided, Eleanor smiled at Amelia weakly. “Lia, don’t worry. I’m fine. In fact, I’m going to live a long life and take care of your children so you can pursue whatever you want. It took me so long to finally find you. How could I bear to leave you so soon?”

Amelia couldn’t understand how motherly love was powerful enough to make an elderly woman put her daughter first despite being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.

However, she was moved. Among the many elders she knew, Eleanor was possibly the only one who loved her and cared for her purely and wholeheartedly.

If I were the one separated from my daughter for more than twenty years, I’m not sure if I could treat her the same way I treat my children who grew up with me.

Yet, it was clear that Eleanor favored her more. Perhaps, it was out of guilt for not being able to be by her side all these years.

In truth, Amelia didn’t think it was necessary for Eleanor to do that.

She coaxed, “Mom, if you want to take care of my child, you should get well soon. If I give birth to the baby before then, I won’t be able to handle so many things at once. You don’t want me to suffer, do you? I have just reunited with my mother, who truly loves me. Are you going to let me lose you again? I’m going to hate you if you do.”

“Okay, okay. I will cooperate with the treatment and get better as soon as possible so I can look after your child,” Eleanor agreed. Her eyes were full of gentle adoration as she looked at Amelia.

When Amelia Hutton and Sean came in, they were met with the sight of Eleanor watching Amelia Winters with a smile.

Immediately, a complex look fleeted across Amelia Hutton’s eyes.

She did not expect her mother to look for Amelia Winters in the end.

Mixed emotions filled her heart—it was a feeling one could only understand after experiencing these things personally. The Huttons were the ones who stayed with Eleanor while she went through her treatment, yet the one who could make her smile was her eldest daughter, who went missing for more than two decades.

Amelia Hutton believed she was not inferior to Amelia Winters, yet she was overshadowed by the latter.

Just then, Sean nudged her hand. When she looked over with confusion, he shook his head at her, signaling her not to cause any trouble.

In return, she could only squeeze out a smile.

Suppressing the complicated look on her face, she uttered, “Mom, I’m here. How do you feel today?”

Eleanor waved at her two children. “Amelia, Sean. Come over and greet your sister and brother-in-law. They came all the way from Tayhaven, so they must be tired. Buy some food for them. We can’t let them starve, especially Tony.”

“Okay, Mom. I’ll do that now,” answered Sean gently. Then, he turned to Amelia Winters and inquired, “Amy, Oscar, what do you guys feel like eating?”

“We’re fine with any. Tony is not a picky eater, so oatmeal will be fine,” responded Amelia Winters.

“I want two chicken drumsticks on top of that. The crispy, golden brown ones!” Tony added, his voice sweet and adorable.

Sean couldn’t help but chuckle and pat the boy’s head. “Call me Uncle Sean, and I’ll buy them for you right away.”

“Uncle Sean, you’re so handsome.” Even at a young age, Tony was an eloquent speaker.

His words pleased Sean very much. “What a good boy you are. I’ll head out right now to get them.”

With that, he left the ward. Meanwhile, Amelia Hutton seemed to be deliberately avoiding eye contact with Amelia Winters. Ever since she entered, she never once looked in the latter’s direction.

“Amelia, what’s wrong with you today? Why aren’t you talking to your sister?” Eleanor asked unhappily.

“Mom, I’m just worried about your illness. It’s not like I’m avoiding her on purpose,” Amelia Hutton explained.

“What’s there to worry about my illness? It is what it is. Amy and her family traveled all the way to Saspiuburg. You should take the opportunity to talk to them more.”

A fury burned within Amelia Hutton, but at the thought of Eleanor’s illness, she held herself back.

After all, she loved her mother.

Despite her annoyance, she put up a facade and turned to the couple. “Hello, Amy and Oscar. Thank you for coming all the way here to visit my mom.”

“Mom is sick. It is only right for us to visit her,” replied Amelia Winters.
