Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 707

Chapter 707 Take Everything For Herself

Meanwhile, inside the ward, Eleanor had just awoken when Benjamin spoke with a gentle voice. “Dearest, I have some good news. Lia has accepted me.”

Every cell in Eleanor’s body jolted upon hearing the shocking news. Her eyes widened as she energetically looked at Benjamin. “Lia, is what he said true?”

Amelia was initially shocked since she did not expect Benjamin’s attitude to change abruptly. However, she wanted Eleanor to rest well and recover, so she flashed a convincing smile. “It’s true, Mom. We’re a family, after all. It’s only natural that I want to reunite with my family members. Or, are you not happy with my decision?”

“Of course, I’m happy! Seeing you being acknowledged as a member of the Hutton family is my lifelong wish. This is perfect! Now that it’s fulfilled, I’ll gladly leave in peace if that’s my calling,” Eleanor declared. She had been threatening to divorce Benjamin all this while, but deep down, she wholly wished to have her family reunited; Eleanor loved her family but also hoped to see her long-lost daughter return someday. It did not matter if her daughter had already married someone and bore children, as all Eleanor wanted was for her daughter to know her birth family. That way, her daughter would always have a family to turn to whenever life was too harsh.

Amelia’s lips curled with a tinge of happiness, her chest feeling much lighter than before.

Perhaps Amelia no longer felt crushed by an overbearing weight since Eleanor’s condition was improving. The latter’s hair fall had decreased, and her once pale complexion now took on some ruddiness. Even her headaches had been happening less and less.

Those improvements gradually lightened the load on Amelia’s shoulders. Later, she and Oscar sent their son, Anthony, to the airport before Hugo and Kurt accompanied Anthony on the flight home.

At that moment, the little boy’s arms coiled around Amelia’s neck as he murmured, “Can’t I stay here, Mommy? I promise I’ll behave. I can even help cheer Granny up!”

Amelia was equally sad about parting ways with Anthony. However, the latter was still a little boy and could not accompany her to the hospital daily—a place where life and death occurred regularly, so she did not want Tony to witness such things at a young age.

“Be a good boy, Tony. Grandma has missed you loads, and you’ve come to Saspiuburg with me for quite a few days now. If you don’t return home now, Grandma might catch a flight here instead. That’s not good because she’s older and gets headaches during flights. Then, she’ll even need injections to stop the pain. You’re a good kid and would never put your grandma through such suffering, am I right?” Amelia asked softly.

Anthony pursed his lips before finally caving in. “I know you don’t want me to see Granny suffering, Mommy. Okay. I’ll be good and go home, but you need to hurry back too. Granny will get better.”

Attaboy. A smile graced Amelia’s face as she replied, “Okay. I promise I’ll be home soon. For now, I want you to head back with your godpa and Hugo. I’ll tell you once Granny recovers.”

Despite Anthony’s reluctance to leave, he still obediently followed Kurt and Hugo up the plane.

Amelia waited until she saw Tony’s flight take off before retracting her gaze. She then said, “Let’s return to the hospital, Oscar.”

“Do you miss him already?”

Amelia nodded. “Tony and I have never been apart for so long. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get used to his absence…”

Amused, Oscar’s palm gently patted her head as he chuckled. “Silly girl.”

“Oscar, you seem to love patting my head a lot these days. Don’t tell me that you think of me as a pet now?”

All that came from Oscar was a faint chuckle when he heard that.

The two soon arrived at the hospital, but Eleanor was still asleep. Now that she had a brain tumor, she was often lethargic and dozed off. It got so severe that she slept during the day and suffered from headaches at night, rendering her sleepless. That only worsened her exhaustion. Thus, she hired two caretakers to look after her; one during the day and one at night.

Oscar held Amelia’s hand as they sat somewhere in the hospital corridor. He then took out some takeaway food he had bought elsewhere. After opening the containers and neatly arranging the dishes, he handed her a fork.

Amelia took a bite before handing some of the food to Oscar. The two took turns feeding each other as though they were the only ones in the world. Sometimes, food got onto the corners of Amelia’s lips, and Oscar would help to wipe it away. They would also occasionally smile at each other.

Anyone could tell the two shared a vibrant spark. The lovey-dovey atmosphere emanating from Amelia and Oscar made it seem like they were the only affectionate couple alive.

From afar, Amelia Hutton watched the couple with an envious scowl. Even her fists coiled tautly.

Amelia Hutton and Amelia Winters shared strikingly similar looks. However, the latter had already married and had kids. Her husband, Oscar, was even Tayhaven’s top successful entrepreneur, and his family name was renowned for being fabulously rich; They were the top ten wealthiest families in the world.

Amelia Winters had grown up in a regular family, yet she managed to secure a perfect husband and could receive money from his family. All that felt unfair to Amelia Hutton, who viewed herself as superior to Amelia Winters. However, everyone seemed to adore the latter more. Amelia Hutton was so jealous that she felt the latter had stolen her family’s love from her.

Sean firmly gripped his sister, Amelia Hutton’s, shoulder, startling her. Following that, she whipped around on her heel with a slight frown.

That was when Sean shook his head and said, “Amelia, sometimes it’s better not to latch onto things that don’t belong to you. Oscar isn’t someone you can afford to cross. Not to mention, he’s our brother-in-law. I suggest you quit harboring those inappropriate thoughts of yours.”

Amelia Hutton gritted her teeth while her frosty gaze remained on Amelia Winters. “Am I not good enough? What part of me is inferior to her?”

At first, Amelia Hutton felt great about herself compared to the blind Amelia Winters, who had a one-and-a-half-year-old child. The former assumed Amelia Winters got abandoned by her husband. That was why the former stole a strand of the latter’s hair for a DNA test; Amelia Hutton wanted to witness things go wrong for Amelia Winters. After all, the former believed her father would never acknowledge such a flawed daughter. The former also wanted her mother to feel disappointed by Amelia Winters’ current state. However, everything did not turn out as Amelia Hutton planned; Rather, one could say things had gone against her favor.

Now, Amelia Winters had become the daughter-in-law of Clinton Corporations. Her vision also got repaired in Anglandur, not to mention that her husband was handsome, rich, loyal, and obedient. She had gotten the life that every woman dreamed of.
